Yes.

Once I saw the car at the Geneva show (I think it was), it turned my crank, as they say, and I had to have one....

Clay...I have to ask... You had pictures shot by one of your General Managers and claimed you were ordering 3...one each for the two managers and one for yourself. Now you claim you saw the car at Geneva and you had to have one. Which is it Clay...what happened to the order for 3 and what happened to the custom Maybach?

I don't want to open old wounds but can't you just compliment someone on his car and not indicate that you are ordering one or many of everything. The GL was the same and the ML55 another. I am not going to track anything and don't want pictures (which you can't post because of probation.) Sorry if this upsets you or anyone else but enough is enough.

I don't post about the numbers anymore - folks complained about that. So I say, "Yes", and, "I am ordering one" -- and leave it simple like that.

I've decided to have all of my US cars done-up at AMG Manufaktur (now the "AMG Performance Studio"?) and so am waiting to travel there to work out the details on each of the cars with them, vs. just picking up something available off the ground for immediate satisfaction and then ordering exactly what I want as a replacement.

I am planning on taking and posting pictures from that visit.

So much time has passed that I figure I can wait to get all the new MBZ's in due order, and time....

The GM cars are a different matter -- which I no longer talk about on these forums.... There are alot of things which I no longer post or talk about on these forums....

And yes I am ordering quite a few. And yes I am ordering quite a few of the new models to give them a try.

As I land 'em, I will post them. If I am still on probation when new MBZ pics are waiting to be posted, I will have another member post them for me (I think that is the way I am going to go, at this point in time).

Good luck Clay...it must be tough figuring out which color goes with which car...:-) That is why I picked up the S550 "off the ground for immediate satsifaction" while my Custom Rolls is being build...decisions, decisions....

I rest my case for the record.

There are hundreds of exterior paint color options; dozens of leather and trim options; many performance options; many modification, features, and electronics options to be had and chosen from -- I am not going to limit my US car options to what MBUSA, or Marketing, have decide to offer me...

Do whatever you need to with your 'case' - LOL - that's your problem....

LOL....

Appreciate that, WishforE55.


I've had more than a few generous members whom have volunteered to do so for me -- if that is the way that it ends up (other members posting them for me), that will be fine.

Now, let's get this thread back to the subject of the awe-inspiring S65!

Piff...How can you roll around in that Mercedes crap? When my custom Enzo was being built (I got one made for me after production stoped) I refused to drive around in anything other than my gold plated Bentley. I also bought 29 mercedes (all different models) so my servents dont make my house look cheap by driving into my house with their crappy cars.

Don't say it at all, that's what we ALL want, and I can say that with confidence.

Oh, it's the back prep area of the dealership. It was waiting to get all the packing material removed.
