I've never seen the rear seat arrangement. Good for very small children?

-It depend on how tall you and your children are. I´m 70.2 (180 cm) and that means that it´s only 1.95 (5 cm) left for legs in the backseat. However, I have driven with 2 adults in the backseat, but that means that you have your nose in the windsceen.

I am very impressed with your car. However I'm a bit suspicious of anyone who calls their car Darth Vader

It´s because of the strong force. What do you call yours. Terminator?

The orginal power is (in Europa) for a 1998 SL600 about 394 hp. If you add the best chip in town (H&S in Germany) you perhaps gain another 35 hp. Could the piping do a 71 more hp? I don´t think so..... or?

Yes and no. It is a video that belongs to the sound (a long one), but the mission with the video was to do som tests on the engine, and not to be posted. I´m going to do a video this summer. Perhaps I post that one.

Is the "firemist" red ... or what?

Although I have read lots of posts that say the SL is not a car to carry the red colour ... I must say your car looks very HOT in your pictures.

Nice crome wheels. And the tan interior does provide a nice contrast.

You must still get lots of attention where ever you go .

SL60 ///AMG and Pigzmickey:

Your black cars ... soooo shiny have me thinking the next SL may have to be black!

I am a bit fearfull that I don't have the detailing skills to stay on top of the regular maintenance necessary to keep that crisp look .
