SL63 @ Aussie GP
If you watched the Aussie GP, you got to see the new SL63 as the new safety car. After not liking any of the static pictures I have seen, I have to admit it looked very good in action.
.....and it got plenty of action. That race was absolute chaos!

It's not bad looking at all. It's just not in harmony with the old behind. But I wouldn't mind driving it around a bit.

Sounded pretty funny to hear the V8 rumble going by followed by a bunch of bumblebees.
I'm not liking the new headlight treatment on the SL.

Something on 4 wheels..
Watched it as well - I told you it would look much better 'in real life' - and the sound was awesome!
The first time it came out and I saw it from distance, I thought it was a CL...
