New to the Fold...

Congratulations! Wonderful car! I had the pleasure of riding in one in Berlin two years ago and even though I wasn't driving, the experience has stayed with me! Enjoy!! :D
 
'Think'?! you like AMG? Think?! Not jealous atall

Only 100 miles in and still running it in - so still a little too early to make a definitive call (I'm trying to be objective honestly :thumb:), but suffice to say I'm pretty convinced already.

I can't wait to drive it some more, I love the 'theatre' of the car already, it feels like an occasion when you drive it, I just want to get to know the driving dynamics a little better, but that will have to wait until I’ve run it in...

It's a great car and I am very lucky. Roll on the Le Mans Classic trip!
 
Most sls owners have managed a hefty discount upon purchse did you ?
 
That is stunning, may aim is to be in one of those or the SLC at some point
 
Cracking car. Are you moving away from ''Surrey and Hampshire'' I'm just down the road in Sussex and I visit Chichester frequently (not far from MB of Portsmouth).....just thinking you may be able to come to a ''South Coast'' Meet?

Yes, I have discussed it with other owners on a thread over on Pistonheads – so no big secret. I achieved about 22% or roughly £40K on a list price of £184K.

The car came from M-B UK new car ‘stock’ so a deal could be done - I’m not sure about new built-to-order cars – but I didn’t really investigate, as delivery times were into November and I wanted the car more quickly.

Just moved from Hampshire in to Surrey, but I'm still working in Hampshire.
I’m always up for a drive out and the South Coast is a lovely place! Just let me know when and where and I’ll try and get along.

Excellent....I will try to get something arranged.....perhaps a meet at Goodwood circuit or a nice pub?
 
Welcome to the forum.

If you ever fancy popping by the workshop I would be forever gratefull!!
I drove an SLS up the Goodwood hill last week. It was the matt silver car.
 
I have the ideal pub we can meet up. Big car park. Good beer and food.

Google: The George Finchdean.
 
You have had MB's before havent you?

No never owned a M-B before (unless my Smart that I use for commuting counts). Been a serial Porsche owner with the occasional foray in to other makes - Nissan GT-R, BMW M3 etc...

I just felt I needed to try something ‘a little different’. A big V8 with loads of character seemed to fit the bill. :devil:
