Anything to look for when picking up my SLK 55?

Is there anything that I need to look for/do when taking delivery of my SLK 55? Anything specific to the 55 that I should be aware of?

Apologies to those of you who have also seen this thread over on Benzworld.

Make sure you take an egg with you and some tape.
Tape the egg to the throttle pedal before driving off. Try not to break the egg !!
