Greetings!

This month's vicarious virtual trips include trips to both Florida and Italy. No bookings were necessary and you will be transported to Amelia Island and Brescia without having spent a single minute within an airport terminal.

I have to confess to chasing a Matte Grey-Green new SLS up Burlingame Avenue last week - the first I'd seen in the flesh. Massively wide and looking aggressive and uncompromising, the new Gullwing looks to be a complete performance package.

Or is it? We bring you German tuner Kicherer's vision of the ultimate SLS. Tell us what you think of it.

And for all of you 1972-1989 SL enthusiasts, we present a comprehensive article on the introduction of the popular R107 series SLs.

Do you have a Mercedes for sale? Remember our free listings.
