Hey CLS 55 AMG ...by any chance do you own this beauty???

nikibusa · 23rd March 2005, 08:05

Hey CLS 55 it reallly seems that you are the proud owner of this baby....What?

CLS_55_AMG · 23rd March 2005, 11:42

hehehe...no guys...i wish it was mine....but I work for Mercedes-Benz...thats how i know!...and dipen...it does not cost the same as the 350. A decently loaded 350 will cost around 70 lakhs on road, whereas a 500 with the same features will be at least 85 lakhs.

WHAT A CAR!!! I have come back to bombay perfect time to get my eyes on this beast... now if i dont spot it in the next 1 week and leave without seeing it my trip wouldnt be complete!! Certainly one of my fav cars in bombay now.... and has my fav alloys too on it to top it off.... only one small thing lackin is taht the color should hv been something else maybe a black with those alloys would look killllller!

guys i spotted the golden one today and have taken 5-6 great pictures of it , saw it next to juhu police station , infact took a u-turn to see the car , have the picks on my fone , the quality is better than i expected , the car is so much better in person . the interiors are out of the world , in fact i asked the driver ( it was parked ) if i could click the steering wheel but he was like saab ne dekha to gussa ho jayega and stuff , but he was sweet enough to move away from the car while i clicked !

Fantastic looking car. I can't remember the last time a Mercedes looked this good or this radical. Aggressive, compact, I especially like the shotgun windows. The pictures don't do justice at all. The rear looks really good. My favourite view would be the rear three-quarters. IMO, looks much better than the E60 5s or the E63 7s.

normally_crazy · 23rd March 2005, 17:27

comfortablywacky · 23rd March 2005, 17:48

no man they are on my 7250 , suprisingly they have come out well enough .
dippy i saw it on the road :
if you are coming from milan subway and want to go to the the juhu plice station(the one at the aeroplane garden) , you have to take a right turn which brings you on a road which links end of linking road and s.v. road , saw it right there !
i think the owner has an office there , so someone with a digicam could possibly check it out !
sorry for not being able to put up the pics guys , is there anyway i can post them ? any suggestions ?

I guess you are takling about Santacruz police station which is just near the signal from where you take a left to hit linking road is it?
