Default Road Trip - Pics...

Returned home (small fishing community) for the weekend and took the opportunity to snap a few pics. Weather was misty and overcast but it kinda suited the landscape around there - peat bogs, moors, barrens...mostly deserted roads with little traffic made for some nice driving.

Click on pics for full size version...

OK Fish, a little music to your ears. That blue SLK 55 AMG is so tough and beautiful. Nice job with the pics.

Fantastic pics FishtailnZ. Looking at your sl55 in caspian blue makes me imagine my 350 with quad exhaust and a rear spoiler. the aero wings look good on the car too i think. are they crome/shiny or matt?

Great images.. Chris, Make sure you get the matte ones. I've seen them in chrome as a 3rd party add-on.. well unless you like chrome.
