New S65 Down Under
I picked up my new S65 today. A friend who can use a camera took some pics which I'll post/link later, but here's a quick snap I took.
The car exceeds expectations - I was worried the ride might be hard with the 20" wheels but it is as smooth as silk. The engine feels like it has endless power but I'm taking it easy for now. I've got a lot of reading to do first!

2010 CL65
Congrats
Your S65 looks so much better than any US-spec S65 b/c of the 030 wheels, which are consistent (in both lighter wt and higher strength) w/the S/CL tech ethos and show off the marvelous latest-tech brakes....thankfully, '09 CL65s in US finally get 030 wheels and cf interior trim....
BTW, would never park adjacent to a POS as in your pic.....neighboring cars w/nothing to lose via door dings/scrapes are a poor risk proposition....they don't hand those cars out to just anyone....

I know it looks bad but I've been parking next to this guy for 5 years. My car keeps changing, but his never does. He's never caused me any bother - he's careful. I even park my Murcielago there several times a month.
