Hi all !
I'm Andy from Greenock and I drive a R230 SL 500 which I bought in February this year.
Used to drive a 07 plate Red Nismo kitted 350Z which I P/ex for the Merc.
Loved the 350Z but wanted a change and after some deliberation decided on a Silver SL 500 with AMG bodykit.
Now I've had a chance to get the roof down the Merc is proving to be just as enjoyable to drive as the Zed and handles really well for a big heavy car, it's no slouch either and just eats up the motorway miles with ease.
Absolutely no signs of scuttle shake either which is unusual with a convertible.
Only thing I've changed is to fit a module which allows the roof to open and close using the standard remote control from outside the car and operate whilst the car is moving up to 25mph. Also allows one touch operation so you don't have to hold the roof operating switch. worthwhile mod IMO.
Hope to meet up with some of the Scottish crew during GTG's
Cheers
Andy Ross
