Hey Buck,

Post a photo of your new baby. Did you say on another post that it is an AMG? I'm a newbie too, 2001 SL500, and I am so in love with my weekend baby. Right now my daily driver is in the shop and I am HAPPY because I get to drive my baby. I hope it takes them forever to fix the daily.

Post a photo.

Buck, great car! You are going to love it. If you have any specific questions, just let me know, since I own the same variety of the R129. Enjoy and congratulations on your purchase--an excellent choice!

Thumbs up

Welcome to the V12 club! Agree with a previous message - you're gonna love the car and do step on it every once in while; the rush is great. I've got a '96 SL600 and love the car. Anyway, check out a company called Performance Products for your goodies. They're at (naturally) www.performanceproducts.com. Give 'em a call and they can send a catalog for you to drool over.
