Hey lorbmw69, Yes, Marshall Goldman absolutely helped! I'm doing a little write up on the 599 and how I got her and how fantastic Marshall Goldman's son, Harlan was in helping me get the 599. Just give me a day or two to remember all the details and I'll make that post.  Mags

Congrats on the new car Mags, the color looks very good, it hides (in the pics) some elements of the car
Yet we are expecting to tell us more about the Fiorano, is this the best machine you`ve driven ?

in most 599 pics i see the the car looks too narrow and skinny, it looks unproportioned and way to narrow, not wide enough. Especially from the back. Im assuming in reallife its looks fantastic and is perfectly proportioned, am I right? Or does it look the same in the pics as it does in real life?

My salesman from Columbus,Ohio called me yesterday, 8-1-07, to say that he has confirmation from Mercedes that the CLK63BE is 'on the ship'  and should arrive in port in a (week or so)? Then Mercedes Proper has to release the cars to the assigned dealers. Kinda getting excited after all the press the car is getting in all the Car magazines!  Mags

Congrats on the 599 mate! Very nice purchase! Btw, I noticed one of your F430's magically disappeared in your signature  Or did you sell one of the trio?

Stoopie, Would you believe one of Ohio's famous 'chuck holes' swallowed up the 05 F430? :shock: Nah.... I didn't think you would!
In reality, I was originally supposed to sell it to my son but he kinda has PO'd :x me lately so I sold it to the 'Exotic' car dealer in Cleveland. He buys all my cars when I think it's time for a change.
As far as my son, the dumb ass is doing things I don't like. He just got nailed for doing 100 mph by a Ohio State Trooper... and that's after he already had 2 or 3 previous speeding tickets! He's got a Corvette Z06 and drives it like a jerk!
Then to top it all off, he has started 'Road Racing' (on a track) a Suzuki sport bike going speeds of 130-140 mph. :bad-words: He just had
twin baby girls' a year or so ago and I would think he would realize a 'safety responsibility' to his family. But not him! So I said to myself, "He ain't getting the F430!"  Mags
p.s. Yeah, you did notice the 05 F430 not being there but you didn't notice the change in the F430 Spiders... now did you? :roll: Heh... heh...! The guy in Cleveland had an 07 F430 Spider with only 187 miles on her so I got the 'heeebie jeeebies'  nfire: for it and worked out a deal trading the 06 Spider back to him for the 07.
A few of the reasons I did the trade was the Model year (06 to an 07), plus it had a 'wilder' interior, plus it had the stock factory exhaust system instead of the ' TUBI' exhaust system. The factory exhaust system sounds a lot better at slower normal speeds! Supposedly, TUBI systems sound and work better at higher RPMs, but since I'm not a 'wild and crazy' guy on the roads, I'll get better engine sounds from the factory system! Plus there is a 'slightly' different Radio sound system. Got ya.... didn't I? :prr:
