Congratulations, the car does seem to live up to most people's reasonable expectations.

Especially if it's not a mainstream colour combo, some pictures would be nice, maybe taken in the beautiful Swiss countryside around Interlaken and the JungFrau!!

Congratulations on your new ride!

Seeing the surroundings reminds me of our time living in Switzerland (by Neuchatel) where we used to take every opportunity to go into the mountains (Gstaad, Kandernsteg, etc. and over some passes to Italy)

Nothing better than going top down with a great car and enoying the beautiful countryside. Now with ABC and accurate steering in the SL those roads will be twice the fun!

twice?

For us it's a whole new world because this is our first true sports car! Very VERY nice car indeed, even after many months!
