Top write up though it's made me very jealous and upset that I'll probably never get to drive one!

Your cars broken

You can't open 1 door at a time

How easy is it to close the doors from sitting in the car?

Excellent write up though.. I'm not a massive fan of the back 3/4 view but front, front 3/4 is lovely!

Well as I said I'm pretty tall, with quite long arms, and I had to really stretch up to pull it down when sat in the seat.

It's a small point, but by doing that, if you're wearing a shirt tucked into your trousers, it will invariably come out by stretching up like that, meaning you have to re-dress yoruself when you get out. Small point, but would get frustrating...

Thats what I thought may be the problem, well, not problem, minor inconvenience..

Can see a £10,000 per side strap being released

And I can see some 10p bent coathangers being employed!

Have you any links to any previous articles you have posted?

A great read, thanks, I don't think i would be able to sleep knowing I was off to ecurie in the morning.

Oh if you own an SLS I can't see forking out for some fancy handles being a problem

I've got to re-host my images for the LP560 Spyder one though...

[goffahsez]

Lol just a couple of posts!

I wouldn't mind a car reviewing job either. But for now I'd happily settle with your job and salary to allow me to do stuff like that, lol

In all seriousness though, was a great write up, made me laugh serious hard a couple of times. Should think about pursuing it!

Listen up haymarket!

Lovely. But am I alone in thinking the dash is not all it could be? Maybe it's the angle.

Cheers,

Yeah, I messed up a bit there by not getting a full interior dash shot. Here's one from the official Merc images:



It's not very adventurous, but then I would prefer a subtle interior like that which works perfectly and has great ergonomics, to a TVR interior which is (IMO) style over substance.

Nice write up. Lucky bugger and all

Yes, that's better. I think the grey/black combination in your photo lets it down a bit.

I think he's alluding to the fact that all your pictures show the car with both doors open

Stunning looking piece of kit IMO; first one I saw was the safety car at Silverstone in July; just

Would definitely be in my top ten garage.

Top 3 for me! I honestly think i'd rate it top of my lottery purchases...

[Petrolhead_Rich]

Nothing to add but DROOL

Very Very Jealous!!

[tescor]

Thanks for the write up.

I was a couple of cars behind this SLS on Tuesday evening, stuck in a traffic jam on J8/9 of the M4. It's the first one I've seen on the road, and I thought it actually looked quite compact, from behind.

Cheers,

I just specced one up on the website...£193000. I will also be purchasing a £2 ticket tomorrow.

Worth every penny. The SLS would be my daily driver along with a Rangey TDV8 for people carrying duties.

Can't get this car out of my head, it's f**king brilliant.
