Thanks everybody for your complements....

Now I have 1350km on the car (150km to go). So I can realy test that engin.

Few days ago I was having fun with a guy driving a Ferari Testarosa (sorry for the spelling). He was trying to speed away from me, but I was driving just behind him all the time. He couldn't shake me off. Hen I realized that we were driving around 160(km/h) in 80 area with some cars around. We just stopped. It was fun. We didn't do it for long just maybe for 3km.

My friends are waiting for me to get my 1500km (1000m) on my car. One of them has BMW Z8, and the other have a brand new Pourche turbo. WE WILL HAVE FUN…

AM TELLING YOU.... THE CAR WORTH ALL THE WAIT!!!

Cool

Sl55Lova, It seems like you and have have the color "Red" in common, specifically "Magma Red." I get my car in mid-December and just can't wait to drive it. I have a GS 400, a red BMW 4.6IS and can't wait to add the SL55 to my collection,mmmmmm. hope you enjoy that car, tell me what it feels like and how impressed you are w/the color, I think the Magma Red is the best color for that car. Welcome to the "my checkbook is bigger than yours" club, proud members of the SL55 AMG.

oo int mint khasran lama el sayara came without the pano... 3alashan IMO the Pano looks good on only DARK coloured cars ... like BLACK and DARK BLUE ... so your better off without it ....... cuz the glass roof is mostly BLACK! Thanks to the guys on "Forums.mbworld.org", I'm accepting the fact that my car which arrived without the pano-roof, is much nicer now!

P.S. Don't race too much, cuz we really have crazy drivers here :P

Cool, but parking your car for a week should have any effect on its performace. My car was parked with out start for 3 weeks (now that it was at the body shop) and now it runs just fine. may be there's someting else to his car.

Is yours a 2003 model? I heard that here in the U.S. the Magma REd color is being dropped for the SL's in favor of some darker red? (It was eliminated from the CLK's last year).

Nice car, nice colors.

Sorry "I was framed", no wallpaper size pic. I took those pics back when I didn't know how to use my camera. And now, I sold the 320SL (the one in the middel). But if you want I can take the pic of the 450SLC and the SL55...

Mercedesfan.. Yes it is 2003. I got it in the end of 2002. Am not sure about the US, but I have been seen brand new Magma Reds around.
