Time is 7.45am, venue, mobil filling station lekki. I had a beautiful night of 1759ing. I got up early to be at my boo’s place. (We’re planning an important occasion coming up soon). I’d stopped over to re-fuel Slama. The attendant seemed to be taking forever. (Thank goodness he did). The station wasn’t packed with many cars; there were a few early risers who’d stopped over for breakfast. It was looking like it was going to be an ordinary day.
I’d gone back into Slama to pick up my wallet and from a distance I heard something just so beautiful, the only thing more beautiful was hearing Slk perform on stage. I gently got out of the car, looked out and there it was, an SL 55 AMG. I’d watched an episode of Topgear where Jeremy Clarkson reviewed his very own SL 55 AMG but nothing prepared me for what it looked like in real life!!! It was stunningly beautiful, painted in chrome blue; the licence plates bore “2 hot 4 u”.
The SL 55 AMG is a lot of car, it has a supercharged V8 churning out 500BHP and 700 Nm of torque, with an asking price of $122,000. Standard features include airconditioned seats that massage you, Radar guided cruise control, voice controlled stereo system and a retractable hard top that folds at the touch of a button. The guy behind the wheel was a middle aged man. I asked Him if I could admire his car, he obliged, grinning from ear to ear as if this was the 1st time someone truly understood and appreciated just what kind of a monster lay beneath the hood of this beauty.
Sitting behind the wheel for me was in simplest terms, heavenly. It had leather sewn dashboard and the seats had the softest kind of leather that gripped you and said “Mamamia, you are going no wia”!!! Cranking up the engine and revving it only told me one thing. I now know what car to use on my wedding day. Yes, some may use Suv’s, Limo’s. Hell no, not me. The SL 55 has to be it for me. I’m sure a whole lot of people would say it doesn’t make any logical sense to use such a car for such an event, but I don’t care!!!
So for all you dude’s that want to make a statement on your wedding day, get the Sl 55, she’ll love you for it.
There you have it, anyone who knows Mr. “2 hot 4 u” please tell him I need to borrow his car… I need to borrow his car!!!!
a Avensis. Called Lexus HS250h. The h representing Hybrid: it’s basically an Avensis with an electric motor. It does have the usual Lexus plush ness. A cool gizmo which it has the mouse like control feature in the centre stack.
