Opposite, very happy. Just glad I ordered the 7-speed paddle shift box instead of the auto I drove today. Compare this to a Boxster S, and it kicks ass. Great overall package. Problem is, I wont have it until April booooooooooooo!
Somethings will have to be changed on arrival though. But will be lots of fun!

THis is what I want in the end

Nice Carlsson!! I take it you have a copy or have seen 'Tuning Elite'?

I love that DVD!!

My dads mate has 2 SL55 AMG's and one SL500... Silver, Black, Burgundy... One to match his favourite suites... VERY NICE!!

Sadly they dont get driven at all!! (maybe I can borrow one?? Im sure he wont notice!!)

hey
how is it better then a boxster S?
the boxster has been said by many people to be one of the best roadsters available... guess they havn't tested the new SLK yet though ... is the SLK trying harder to compete with the boxster.. the old one was no comparison.. IMO

April is a while! but you're lucky its not longer!!

I said, makes sure you get a good price, and always make sure she waves to other mini owners.

I hope Uni is going well too Catt!! I finish Wednesday for good hopefully!!

Todd

Yep uni is ok- so over studying for exams though.....
Good luck for finishing on Wednesday- well done

I agree benno, drove a mate's very late model last gen SLK230(its a Limited Edition one too ) Totally dud root of a drive, bored me to tears! Dont even feel like driving it spiritedly.

hehe yeah. the original one is very conservative i think.. not really a racey car, but i guess it suits some people.. (an old lady up the road from me drives one hehe)

my old man has a boxster and i love standing up for them because its amazing to drive ... but i do think the new SLK will be trying to break into that boxster market.. im sure its a blast .. but then again.. im sure the NEW boxster will be a blast too

Spotted CASP3R at Chatswood today for the first time PERFECT plates for the awesome PW/PW MCS. Pinkmini always gushes to me how cool it is If i remember correctly its owned by sister of Kevin from KS Tunning.
