HELP!!! Is there anyone that can post the pics of the new SL550 and S550 I took this afternoon. If I send them to you, say 900 or 1200 pixels each and around 10-20 pics if you can handle them, could you put them online for me? I would appreciate it if you could. Thanks, Michael

hi Mags
sorry, but i had to watch the Tiger game; i think you understand 
They'll be online momentarily!
Edit: Michael's new SL550, and S550 (nice roof!)
                        
Everybody should thank mags yet again, as some of us know how much work it really is to go set up the cars for photos, clean them, set them up some more, dump the photos on pc, resize them, and finally upload them; which I greatfully do for our good friend in Ohio (down with Ohio State tomarrow!  )

Thanks Mattk, Yeah the Teddies give me someone to talk to when I'm POd :bad-words: at the girlfriend. I'm really enjoying the cars. We had the 'S' out last night and went to a wine taste at the Country Club. The couple we went with loved the car. The 'Jury' is still out on the 'Night Vision Assist' though. :robot: It's hard to watch and keep yours eyes on the road... normally. Maybe if I was a video game expert it wouldn't bother me so much! But it is a neat conversation piece. Makes you feel like Superman with X-Ray vision. It will be interesting to see how good it works in the fog or a heavy snowstorm.
Isn't this trick as heck..... I'm here in Ohio of the United States and I'm conversing with someone in Sydney, Australia! The best part is it's FREE! I like Free stuff!
P.S. The girlfriend just got her new 07 Range Rover this afternoon. She got it in Zermatt Silver Metallic.  Absolutely beautiful color. I was gonna get an 07 Range Rover too but then decided on the Cayenne Turbo S. A lot more fun and faster than hell! :2gunfire: It didn't make sense to have two Rovers in the same garage. Take care everyone. Magwheel

the 'Night Vision Assist' is not your fault.. they should have made it as a head up display..
..so you have the xray in the S and the muscle in the CGT! you are superman!
as for how good it will work in the fog or a heavy snowstorm... i wouldn't put my faith in it.. but i sure am anxious to read your review about it..
8) ..Free is good... Free is THE BEST
congrats on the Range... now YOU have the pick of two SUVs.. good once!
pics of the Range to come? would love to see it in some nice poses in the snow would be even better would be proper wallpaper material
congrts again and take care too

Hi Erez, Sorry for the late reply. So far as far as I've been able to tell, the Night View Assist is just a novelty (albeit a really neat one). There is no way, and I'm speaking for myself..., that I feel it would be useful for me. It really does show you everything in front of you but it's just too dang hard to watch it. Plus it doesn't give you the peripheral vision the human eyes and brain do. But.... i may change my mind a little after a fog or heavy snow. I know in the rain, it's even worse because fo the reflection off of other cars and especially from street and freeway lights! :crazyeyes:
The Cayenne Turbo S is just a blast to drive. It's so damn fast it's ridiculous! :shocked!: I had it up to an easy 107-110 the other day with the girlfriend in the car. Never knew I was there until I looked at the speedo! I don't want to spill the beans too much about her until I can take some neat pictures and then I'll do a complete review for you guys.
Would you believe I haven't even been in the Range Rover for a short ride yet? The girlfriend loves it and it now has Bluetooth capabilities and Sirius Radio. I guess with my new rides, the Mercedes and the Turbo S, I have my hands full deciding what I want to drive of my own cars. Yes..... I promise some really great pics of the Turbo S in the snow and hopefully in other backrounds.
Hope all is well with you and thanks for saying hello. Michael

I keep hearing that the Cayenne Turbo S is pretty fast, but coming from you it must be true!
Thanks for the update Micheal!

Congrats for the new Mercs. The S looks very very very good!!!
I think you've just one thing missing in your garage. A classic!
It would an an extra touch of class, and there is nothing that reaches the thrill of driving a fast classic far.
