I was out running some errands today and dropped by the Apple Store, which is on a fancy schmancy retail street in one of my local cities. On my way out, I heard the sounds of engines. Not just any engines but engines with character. I looked to my left and saw an old M-B 300SL Roadster rumble towards me. I thought that was pretty cool but I heard more engines and looked again and saw one, two, three... 300SL Gullwings coming towards me. There must have been a half dozen at least, some driving down the street with one or two gullwing doors open. Mixed in was a SLS.
I have seen a 300SL Gullwing before but not a group like this driving down the street! Each one was in beautiful looking condition and it was great seeing them being driven. I wanted to follow them but I had to get back to work so I snapped some quick pics and kept on going.
To rub my nose in it even more, I had just come from the local Rolls/Bentley/Maserati/Aston dealer where I visited a friend who is the sales manager there. I "shopped" and chilled in a nice Phantom Drophead just for a comfy place to sit. I was waiting for my Audi to get a quick service done and it is the same dealer. Out of the Phantom Drophead and back into my little Audi A4.
Here are the quick iPhone 4 pics I managed to grab while trying not to crash.
