Picking up my SL55 AMG at 4pm today, gulp. Obsidian black with alpaca grey leather, fully loaded except for a panoramic roof. Registered 2002, 7200 miles.

Starting to get a nervous twitch.

Top choice !
Went for an 02 / 500 / 12 months old a while back.
Loved it !
Thought it was the DB's !
Until I took out a 55 last December.

Trouble was, the trade in I was offered for the 500 was so ridiculously low (IMO) I just got up and walked out.

Somehow AMG manage to generate fantastic noise, enormous smiles and maniac laughter.

I've never taken out a 350, but surely the SL was born for the 55 set up.

Have a blast !

It is a cracking car, I'm really pleased with it - the best car I've ever owned by a mile. Tried the manual shift last night; what a hoot!

The only niggle so far is a slight rattle behind the driver - I'm guessing that the roof assembly is the culprit, but will get it booked into the dealer to see what they think. Any other ideas what it might be? Is this a common complaint?

I'll get some pictures posted in due course.
