After checking out the IAA in Frankfurt last week, we made it over to London this morning. A really relaxed 7 am flight and then an even more pleasant 2 hour cab ride to the hotel. Staying at the Sanderson, which so far seems like a really nice place. More on the reason for this short trip (leaving tomorrow again) later this week….

While we are on our small trip last week invited by Mercedes to check out the IAA car show in Frankfurt and of course primarily to see what the German brand has to offer in the near future we came across Hiroshi Fujiwara. The Japanese style guru was busy checking out the new Mercedes SLS AMG, probably the car that stole every other brand the show, at least in our mind.

Another highlight from the show, aside from the Mercedes SLS AMG, was the new Maybach Zeppelin. The car was inspired by the original Zeppelin from the beginning of the century, also displayed behind the new version of it, which of course gives you a royal aura when sitting in it. Something like the Maybach only shows you what is actually possible with a car in terms of comfort.

Beginning of last week we were given the SL63 AMG by Mercedes to make our way from Berlin fro Frankfurt to check out the latest and greatest at the IAA car show, the biggest in the world. That the car was a beast is an understatement. Something you really have to get used to. The car came in white pearl effect with red interior and pretty much any option one can wish for. German highways of course also allow to make use of such a beast and we did! Here some impressions from our trip…
