SL55 AMG

[JonRB]

Just got back from a very nice (and outrageously expensive) meal at a very nice French restaurant to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary:

Anyway, parked next to our Chimaera 500 when we came out was a very nice Merc SL55 AMG. (as featured on PistonHeads here. Looked gorgeous, but HOW MUCH?! £100k+ I would imagine.
Looked great though.

Sorry, not entirely sober. We ordered a bottle of a rather nice Brouilly and since my gorgeous, wonderful, loving wife offered to drive I have drunk most of the bottle. Hoorah!

Yes,
an AMG SL55 thingy=fabulous device.

But makes you an uber hairdresser.

[DennisTheMenace]

WTF does uber mean ?? is it another trendy thing to say ?

Bling bling

[planetdave]

Uber, in this context, is 'top'.

So that would make you the 'biggest hairdresser'.

And it's even funnier 'cos mercaladies are cherman.

IMHO

Very nice car as owned by jeremy clarkson.the on the road price is 89040 pounds.

A bit gay tho!?!

[shadowninja]

it's the only merc i actually lust after. (apart from that gullwing door SL from the 60s or whenever it was (before my time!))

snag is... Dale Winton owns one.

1950s actually.

Deutschland UBER Alles - Germany Above All.

[JonRB]

Uber is simply German for "over" (literally) or "top" (more loosely).

Oh and thanks everyone for taking the hint about my 1st wedding anniversery and showering me and the missus with congratulations.

[planetdave]

Yeah, Jon.

Wooo

and, indeed

Who

[JonRB]

Gee, thanks Dave. Sorry to have underwhelmed you quite so much.

[shadowninja]

sorry, had one of those 1st anniversary things a couple of years ago. since then, wife decides in january she's better off elsewhere, hence i glossed over that detail

[JonRB]

Yes, sorry everyone. I forgot that whilst these things seem important to oneself, they're actually not to everyone else.

I feel very embarrassed that I made a deal out of it now.
If I delete my posts then other people's posts will look strange, so I guess they stay. Sigh.

It's a fair cop, guv. We both decided to pick up our email (and have a crafy post or two on PH in my case) before we went to bed. You're right - very sad indeed.
