Absolutely great photos. We are fortunate to own one of the most beautiful, well equipped automobiles in history. I had the privilege to see one being built in Germany last year. That is what finally made me bite the bullet on my S class. I had a VW Phaeton W12 ( which was the most understated cars in America as it was very well built). Too bad VW had no clue as to how to market it. I went to Dresden to see how the Phaeton was built. The factory there was incredible. Anyway, I see you collect dust around the joy stick like I do. I am looking for an easy way to clean that.
Great pix.

Hi!
Yes - That is my car. Had it since August of 2006. I just got a new camera and lens and am trying to take good pictures with it. The forum members that are experienced with cameras are giving me good tips.

HI HI!

I asked my Service Advisor at MB Manhattan to put it on my car. It was a few hundred dollars. I think $300 including tax. I just really like the way it feels when I rest my hand there. I dont particularly MIND the leather cover, but - i prefer the wood. It adds a depth of warmth to that section of the car. Its great.
I have the leather one still if ever i change my mind.

LOL i know what you mean. I LOVE the VW Phaeton W12 and Audi A8L W12. They are absolutely STUNNING cars both inside and out.

I dont know how to get rid of that dust. The thing is - u cant really use a brush since there is wood around it - i wouldnt want to either scratch the wood, cause it to have brush marks (not scratches but like the way paint gets swirl marks)

Maybe a terry cloth but some sort of dust repellent liquid? I dont know.

Do you own a DSLR? Canon? If you don't mind forking over the large price(~$100), you can get those brushes "designed" to clean camera sensors.

hi! Yes. Canon Rebel 400 XTI Digital SLR with a 17-55mm lens (high end Canon one)

The brush thats $100 can clean inside those areas in the car?
