My silver SL65 arrived
Hello guys
I am happy about the delivery of my new silver SL, last week Friday. After driving two days - there are 800 km on the clock. The sound is incredible even at low revs. Driving comfort is better than expected - even with the 19 inch wheels. Consumtion is about 14 liters / 100 km (running in period on National roads - cruising only).
I am sure to be one of the first happy owners here in France
here are some pics ..........
and here the "old one" with the new one
wish you all a nice Sunday evening
kind regards from France

Firs kilometers after delivery
Thanks to all of you for the nice congrats to my new SL.
Here are some new - about how the car is, in general.....
The colour is the same as I had on my SL500 (silver #744) with the new Nano painting so it is shown as "C744". Inside leather #581. So nobody in my neighborhood is able to recognise the change of the SL :p
Interiour is of higher quality than my "old" SL ... Alcantara on the roof, leather almost everywhere. Engine is awesome, exiting, cool .... ( i do not know enough English words to describe this - it's like 10 :v starting to shout).
Ride-comfort; is better than expected, even there are 19 inch rims with /35 and /30 tyres on it. It is really smoother and less noisy than the SL500. The only changings which have to be done fast are:
1) steering wheel - to Soft-touch AMG wheel
2) carbon trim parts - cause the original are looking really cheap
3) V-max delimiter.... (even I am not driving very fast - but this limiter is
)
The rest of the car, will remain original - I love to drive original cars. I do not know anything about lowering - but it should be "useable for everyday".
Videos will be made on the next weekend, when I will join our club at SPA (Belgium) and then they should be available on our website.
Kind regards from France

I was planning on showing pics of Shank's SL with the Kleemann lowering module (which has a perfect drop to me), but I couldn't find the pics so here's a pic of a Kleemann CL instead (which presumably also has the lowering module; at least it looks like it from the pic)
