Nice! I took a top down ride in the dark yesterday night, 8’ Celcius and stormy weather with gusty winds - in perfect comfort.

I just got mine too and it was supposed to be a weekend ride, but I’m finding myself driving it on weekdays 😀.

Gentlemen, you made the right choice re. looks and fun. Like most stunners she’s likely to gradually get on your nerves, financially. But you don’t choose a partner rationally, it’s the fun we’re after.

Off topic


here I go again, off topic but I’m sure I’ll be forgiven. Visited a private art museum today. In Martigny, Switzerland. With a ‘car-corner’, reached through a tunnel. They have two Mercs, in running condition, as is the entire collection.

200km/h.... in 1929.

First there was


If this had not been invented, by the end of the 19th century, your R230 (and beyond) would not have been around.

‘04 SL500

Bought this beautiful ‘04 SL500 over the weekend. The pewter paint is stunning, gorgeous charcoal interior in awesome condition, what a fun car to drive AND gaze at. It’s the younger sibling to our ‘73 450SL.

Nice color combination, like the red. Carbon trim would be the icing on the cake.

SL 500
First drive tonight....


Just got this lovely 2007 with 28k miles, and took this snap on this evenings first sunset cruise along Mulholland Highway in LA. It’s my third SL, but already it’s my favorite. All the upgrades of the 550 with all the elegance of the 230, just perfect!

I can't say that I like it.

More special than pretty.

The open version is just as stunning, AND they both have a picnic set aboard.

Love the upgraded wheels and tail lamps! And the color combo is so elegant especially on a 600 model.

Congratulations! She looks amazing. You're going to love the 550 setup. Great performance!
