Red face First post

Hello from sunny British columbia,as you can guess,this is my first post on MB World.
I am a bit of a car nut,i am on my 28th car in 8 years,but the wife has now said enough is enough,so i guess i will be keeping this one for a while.
My recent car history is 2xclk 430 cabs,1 x sl500,1 xMl 63(great truck) 1 range rover full fat, 1 range rover sport, 1 996 tt porsche(not as good as the 993 tt ) Ml 55,loved that truck,1x esclade plus others that i will not bore you with.
I have just traded my 07 Ml 63 for a 2005 sl55,i love this car,just added 19 inch AMG oem wheels,wow they look the business,also clear side markers and a boot spoiler.
As you may be able to tell,i am a brit living in Canada,so please excuse the lingo.
I wanted a sl65 but the price in Canada is nuts,also there is no warranty if imported from the US.I here they are quite costly to maintain also.
I had my heart set on a Aston DB9 Coupe but i could not get a decient price for my Ml63 in the Us,but now i have the sl55 i think i made a good choice.
The car has 16 k on it,only do about 5k a year so a used car makes a lot more sense than blowing thousands in depriciation.
I will try to post photo,s but i am not very computer savy,if need be can i send them to a moderator to post.
Happy motoring bc brit

If you use the "Insert Image" button the photos have to be hosted on another website, e.g. Flickr or Photobucket.

To post a picture without having it hosted elsewhere use the "Manage Attachments" button.

Great looking car. It looks just like mine. You will have to drive down to AZ this winter so that we can lower it.
