New Toy.....it's not a 75 or ZT!
It was my birthday the other day and Mrs Guru took me car shopping......after a couple of beers I ended up with this................
It's a Mercedes SLK 350, very low mileage and obviously has been looked after as there's not a mark on it inside or out! Haven't managed to do many miles so far however the power and noise are VERY addictive!

Jules's significant other has the AMG version.....lots of BHP, ideal for whizzing down to the nail salon
That's Jules taken care of, I don't know about Isabel perhaps she gets to drive it from time to time too Brian |

I'm hoping for good reliability, reading on the Mercedes forums there don't seem to be too many major problems with the 350 so I'm optimistic!

The SLK was my first choice of folding hardtop retirement present to self, as my daily drive (I have the 3wheeler for fun!), until Mrs B pointed out that when visiting family we'd have to use her Fabia as it has the necessary four seats.....
Hence my Volvo C70, a full 4seater, with legroom for real adults in the rear seats. Maybe one day I'll get the SLK!

Very nice - those 3.5 V6 power units are powerful and make a nice sound.
I am currently in the "do I, don't I" mode over a CLK 320 CDI - the price is top-end for a 2009 car but it ticks all the boxes. http://www.wildingmotors.com/09-clk320cdi-sport-8650 Mrs MSS keeps saying if you want it, get it and that just makes it harder. I am thinking about which of my cars I will sell if I do go for it as when we had 5 cars previously only three of them really got used.. The problem is, I am not sure I want to sell any of them! |
