some pics of the beast

It was beautiful weather Sunday and decided to take the beast out. Here's some quick iPhone pics. It needed a good wash after six months of being in storage.

You have two S600's and a V12 Phaeton?

Now that's just silly...

Yes, they are part of the collection. And the Phaeton is a W12.

Sweet! And I'm also glad to see that S600 again.

How do you decide what to drive in the morning? I'd feel I wasted money on the other cars if I drove one a lot more than the others...

Still an S600, but I think it has enough AMG mods to justify the S65 emblem. I've done some mods while in storage. Other than AMG seats and engine block, there's not much difference between the two models.

Here's most of the mods:

AMG brakes - all four corners
AMG 65 active body control struts
AMG Carbon fiber engine cover
AMG cluster
AMG 65 turbos
AMG pedals
AMG steering wheel with working shift buttons

Other mods:

Kleeman LSD - 60% locking
Renntech 65 TCU
Renntech Engine tune to accommodate AMG 65 turbos and methanol injection
Renntech ELM
Meisterschaft mufflers

wow what a mod list!... You are a lucky man for owning that car which IMHO is the best looking/cleanest S-class out there. Can't wait to see what is your next move regarding wheels, engine mods, etc..

Hopefully a clean blue E60 M5 will be keeping the E39 some company soon.
