Comments on there saying the SL600 is longer than the other models...

Just as a M135i is longer than a 120d

I have no idea about the 1 series, but the R129s are all the same length.

Is there a model specific forum option on here?

I beg to differ
For example the 1993 sl500 was 176.0 inches, the 1997 sl60 was 177.1 inches.
The difference in 'length' would be cosmetic, due to the AMG bumpers being fatter than the standard ones.

Never bought that magazine, have had a quick look in the n/agents and that's about it. Any good?

Yes, excellent. Original team of John Barker, Richard Meaden & Harry Metcalfe knew what they wanted to launch to the market in late 90's and have been very successful. Harry has made some excellent film clips, particularly the Lamborghini Countach covering big mileages in a day.

I think it's a magazine aimed at teenagers.
I've watched a few of his YouTube videos. The man seems to know what he's talking about and he likes a good Merc.
