Bltserv's SL55

To all the lucky SL AMG owners:

Spent another evening with Bltserv's SL55 which I have lovingly named "Rocket." What a treat for a "plain" SL550 owner. Bltserv has let me drive Rocket on occasion. Cannot believe it. TOTALLY DIFFERENT car than the SL550. No comparison. Tighter steering and brakes. Unbelievable torque. Scared the crap out of me the first time I drove it. Makes we really regret not paying the extra $50,000 to get the AMG.

I wish more of you AMG owners would share what a great experience it is to own one of these awesome cars with us "plain" MB owners.

What a great car and what a fun guy! Thanks!!!

P.S.

Love the way the SL55 sounds when you goose it a little when leaving my house! How am I supposed to sleep with that instant adrenalin rush?!

Good day,

I know exactly what about you talking! Its already 45 days with my RED ROCKET.

Its my first AMG mercedes, and I now can say that it is a perfect sports car with ultimate luxury! It is made for a real man! Driving it on 50 km/h is totaly relaxing, and if I want some adrenalin rush I just press pedal and 150 km/h (90miles) is just in few sec!!!

I was going to do an "ESP Off" takeoff. But your neighbors would be pissed
at that hour. Glad you enjoyed the evening out. Here is a pic while
Rocket is still somewhat clean.

I remember as well the first time you drove my AMG.
There was just a bit of buyers regret on your face that night.
"I could have got an AMG with just a bit more $$$$.

In the mean time when you need that "AMG Fix" you can drive mine.

Like the other post says. Forget that other "business deal" we discussed.
Trade the SL550 in and get the SL65.
Then I can borrow it.

Hey - next time feel free to leave some nice long rubber marks on my street; I would love that souvenir from Rocket. Better yet - let me do it - please, please, please?!

How about adding that CLK55 to your collection Mr. Bltserv? (I'm trying James!)

Yeah, having an SL65 - in my wildest dreams! I don't think I could sleep knowing I had that beast in the garage wanting to come out and play. Maybe I will just re-badge my SL550. JUST KIDDING!! Trust me AMG owners - we know who those losers are who do that and we think it is totally lame. Bltserv has been noted to leave a note or two on their windshields! Love that!
