No sun... - 07-26-2008, 11:58 PM

Shot these about an hour before sunset tonight... the bright sun here is really difficult to deal with when shooting a black car. The soft lighting of the evening really helps.

Love the last photo!!! Is it the same place you took this wonderful picture of your S 550 (with the great sky in the background)?

Yes ree... you have a good memory. I was waiting for sunset but the sky was totally overcast and the color just did not develop.

Ask yourself, has there ever been a prettier Mercedes consistantly throughout history than the SL?

Jack you should work for Mercedes' publicity department, in the photo arrangment/production section.

Thanks Merc1... I may be a little too old for that but I wouldn't mind them referring buyers to my web site. For a small fee of course...:-)

BTW...my first SL was a 1979 450SL and I had two more after that but nothing like this one. As I have said many times, the 7 Gtronic and 5.5 liter are a match made in heaven!

Thanks!

No the only mods I will make will be window tinting. I could not wish for any more than a stock SL... it is beautiful and a performer to boot. Love it!

Oh...here is a mod I made yesterday....

Shame on you Jack! This is a Mercedes-Benz, where is his safety belt?


Seriously though I'm so glad Mercedes' "Black" leather is actually black now. I can't tell you how much I hated the cheap, ugly looking "Charcoal" mess. It looks horrible when new and aged like crap.
