hi again

Your car does look good in Red.

I took the plunge with a 996turbo but sadly wraped it around a tree a 2 weeks ago

Thinking that a SL55 amg may tame me a bit better! Will have to have a drive when the insurance cheque arrives.

Awesome car man, you're very VERY lucky, but the I guess you already knew as much!!

Can I ask a favour of you? Can you take it to a nice location and take some good decent sized (and by that I mean desktop size) photos of it to grace my computer when I switch it on in the morning? Thanks!

Nice choice of colour, really striking!!

I'll never tire of eulogising about this car.

Apart from the way it pretty much mauls 911s for breakfast (not including RUFs, I hasten to add ), looks so generally glorious, rumbles in a purposeful but somehow understated manner (at least next to an SL55) at take off whilst staying unpreturbed indoors whilst watching 'Commando' on the in-car DVD, corners unbelievably for something bulkier than a Bugatti Royale and will accelerate effortlessly and crushingly to maintain a double ton+ velocity makes it nothing short of phenomenal.

Do I want one? Did Pope John Paul windsurf off the coast at Lanzarote?

Shame the owner's such an arrogant meglomaniac.

Looks cracking Mr Gixer sir... But if I may be so bold as to levy one minor criticism.. The ride height.. I may be completely wrong here, but in the side profile shots, it looks like it sits a little too high... With all of the adjustability that the car provides, does it allow for adjustable ride height? slinky

If its like the SL55 then yes, the car will automatically lower itself (by upto 5cm) as speed increases. But it does look like its on stilts at stand-still (even with 19" rims my 55 looks like it needs bigger wheels!).

Well don't tell him that I'm driving it!
