In the driveway, my 280 SL dark blue with red leather and his new stablemate, also in dark blue (Lunar blue) with red leather, E 400 Cabriolet. I took delivery from the factory in May and it was delivered to my local dealer 10 days ago.
For those that have not done it, the Euro delivery program for a new Benz is an absolutely top shelf experience. I picked up the car in Stuttgart with my good friend Martijn and we traveled across France, saw several sites, then to Belgium (met a former colleague) and finally to Holland, where I was able to participate with the Dutch Pagoda contingent (although I rode with Brian Akre in his car, not the E400). I dropped the car in Amsterdam, and then voila, magic occurs, and it is at the dealer here in SoCal.
