More "Baby" Pictures
« on: July 15, 2018, 21:41:37 »
My wife says I have just about as many pictures of our SL as we have of our grand children (she is exaggerating of course ;)) so here are couple more taken today. Out early this morning to beat the heat. Car ran beautiful as always but realized when a small leaf popped out of the drivers defroster vent that I am in need of a cabin filter. Will be off tomorrow to my local MB dealer to order one.

Looks great.  Those cabin filters are expensive.  I think your tailpipe extends a bit far, should end even with the bumper.

I guess what isn’t (expensive) on this or any other MB. Yep, I know the pipes are sticking out too far and one of these days I will put them right. But as long as I keep it out of shows and not have Jonny look it over to closely I think I am OK for time being :)

Actually, I wasn't thinking so much shows as when you walk closely behind the car and knock your leg on the tailpipe, or worse, burn your leg if you're wearing shorts.
