I spotted this apollo while driving through West Hollywood parked at a cafe's valet. I pulled over to take a closer look at the car and took a few pictures on my blackberry as well. I also realized that it was the same apollo that I had been driving next to on the freeway just a week before, but was unable to get a picture of it before because I was weaving through traffic in order to keep up with it in my black series. Thought I'd share these pics because of how rare it is to see this car on the streets, even living in LA.

 

Wow. Didn't even know they were being sold here.

 

I could be wrong, but I believe this guy is the only person who has one around here. There are only 150 models produced.

 

Hey post some pics of your garage. Thats a crazy stable!!!

 

I have some under an album on my profile. I'm post up a thread with pictures as soon as I receive my SL BS on monday and get some pictures of it. All the pics I currently have up were already on my computer but I will take more this weekend.

 

Cool pics of the Gumpert! Definitely a rare sight to see on the streets, even in CA I'm sure. I'm really psyched to see pics of your SL BS! I believe you'll be the first member to take delivery on this forum. Some 18 yr old kid came on here last week claiming he was taking delivery of an SL BS and a Scud but hopefully you'll be the first to actually share pics! You must be giddy like a little school girl! Only 3 days between you and your new toy!

 

Welcome to the Team, btw!

 

Awesome stuff.

He parked mighty damn close to the curb though. How much would that have sucked to scrape up the rims on that sucker?

 

I am actually to be quite honest. I already drove the car at the SL65 AMG Driving Event at Laguna Seca in Novemeber, and it was breathtaking. It makes my CLK seem like an everyday normal car. Taking it around the track for a few laps left me with an adrenaline rush I've never felt before. My heart was just pounding when I had gotten out the car. It won't be nearly as fun to drive in the streets, especially in LA traffic, but I'm going to try to take it to the track every once in a while. I just hope that everything goes as planned as far as the delivery on monday and pick up. I'll post pictures as soon as I receive it. And I appreciate the warm welcome.

 

If you're in West LA i'd love to see that SL Black sometime after you take delivery...i am in Bev Hills.
