2003 s600 v12 5.5L Twin Turbo
Hey ladies and Gents, my name is Rick Ortiz I own a 2003 s600 v12 5.5L bi-turbo. This is my third w220, but bought my first one in 2000.The model was a brilliant Silver s430 when I was 27 and bought it new from the dealer own it for 20+ years till it was stolen in Alabama three years ago, and let's say it did not come back the way it left. The car was in a heated and cooled garage. In perfect pristine condition, and even though I'm a smoker I never smoked in my car. My second w220 was a 2001i had this car about a year and still would if I didn't get hit in the rear of the vehicle. well needless to say insurance payed me for the car and took it away. I always wanted a bi- turbo car so I said the hell with it and got one its clean in and out but I didn't buy a perfect car it needed things I knew about and I have done all maintenance on all my cars since the age of 15. I was a mechanic for Ford Racing for 9 years but always have had a Benz. How could I not I test drives that s430 and it was over once you drive a flagship car you don't go back. I was hooked and have been since. There is nothing on the planet that compares to a Mercedes Benz Nothing but the Best. Rick

I've been to Florida. Miami was a bit scary, we got lost in our hire car trying to find our hotel :oops:. No sat nav in those days.
