I wish I my 560 is as clean as yours. The paint has been oxidated and it is very dirty too right now. Plus the weather isn't helping so, I will have to wait to get some decent pictures from the distance.

It looks bad now, but it's going to go in to get repainted soon, within the next month or two if things go right. I'll get some pics after the repaint it done.

ok, this pic deserves a little explanation...

It may be a somewhat hard to tell, but the odo shows 250,045mi. i took this about a month ago and you know what, the car was just as solid at this speed as legal speeds . excellent engineering and fastidious maintenance always pay off.

Hey wideamg, why is yours a 500SEC instead of a 560SECÉ Did you swap the M117 with the M119 or somethingÉ

Hey wideamg, that is one nice f**** nice car!

Tell us more about it, Ive always loved the wide body AMG SECs.
Not a fan of the rear spoiler though, would look better with the more discrete AMG duck tail. But great car nonetheless, the rims look perfect on it.

Oh, and I just had to post this one:

(From left --> right: Limited Edition (1997?) SL500, 2003 S600, my 560SEL; the SL and S belong to my grandparents)

Now I just have to find one of my dad's 6.9 with the 560... :p

Thanks. The 600 is a gorgeous car, esp. since it's got the sport package...

However, it's not the '04 Twin-Turbo model; it's the "old and slow" (relatively speaking, anyhow) 362HP NA V12 version.
