Good luck with your new car and i am sure you will enjoy it, it must have been fate, the AMG version is much better looking than your first choice.

Mine will be the same but in Obsidian Black, white cars in the UK don't seem to work but in Sunny LAS Vegas they look great.

Wow.
I can't understand the difference. I look at a black/black S550 at the dealership last week and am totally unimpressed. I mean "BLAH" was the first word that I thought of. Now, the more I see NJ's sig picture, I really think that is a sharp car. It catches my eye and keeps my attention more than 2 seconds. It really has all the lines, curves, and sexiness.
I think I've been enlightened as to how color really affects a car's presentation. That, or I'm enlightened as to NJ's escapades!

Jack all I can say is keep on doing that Voodoo that you do! Their heads are spinning so fast that it’s time to call in a short priest and a tall priest. As always I wish you the very best. I’m confident whatever your final decision it will be a showstopper.

If I start driving now, I could probably meet up with him. I bought a camera stand that would mount in the back of my CLK. I could record his entire drive back.

I briefly spoke with Jack this evening via cellphone and he informed me that he had made it safely to Denver earlier than expected this afternoon and possibly is now the owner of a new W221 at this time. He will make his way home on Thursday morning with a overnight stay and home by Friday.
Congratulations Jack!
Congratulations Jack!
