Congratulations.

What a dream -- and what a car.

Thanks for all the nice comments, there are around 5 SL55 AMG's and 2 SL65 AMG's running around the Island that I know of, the rest are mainly SL500's and a small number of SL350's!

The car in the background is my A200 Avantgarde which is ideal for the Island's narrow lanes and stuff!

Taking mine to Germany in September for its first real run as the Island speed limit is 40MPH!! I'll make sure to post some pics.

Very very nice car, sparkling clean.

I'm having a hard time choosing what my next car should be, an SL65 or 997 Turbo.....

why not get both? best of both worlds.. of course i'm a little biased
it's just money.. :P but in all honesty.. you can't even begin to compare the two.. if it's a primary driver.. sl65.. all the way.. if it's a toy and you have roads to actually use it... 997tt..

New Jersey is named after the island (Ballwick of Jersey) where our friend here is from, incidentally.

Enjoy your car in good health!
