Father and Son: Mercedes E55 AMG and Mercedes W221 S-Class. The son drives the E55 AMG while the dad (a pilot) drives the S-Class. Both work for the same company to. Their last name begins with "F", which explains the license plates.

Yep. BTW, I don't think the S-Class rear should be called "Bangle Butt" because it was inspired from the Maybach prototype which was around since 1996.

The interior on the other hand is BMW-inspired.

Well, I'm not calling it Bangle butt because I think it's invented by Bangle but because the name for the boot-design has become kind of a standard. Not many call it Maybach butt...

It did occur to me that the name "Bangle Butt" might be commonly used for these things - even on non-BMW's. Thanks however for teaching me something new.

Not quite me - but still a special one.

One of my drivers recovered a 599 GTB on Thursday - I should have some pictures, which he has taken on his mobile phone, by next week at the latest. He told me that it looked a lot better IRL than it did in the pictures. This particular car was black with yellow calipers.
