The Best of 2006 - In Pictures

**FishtailnZ** · 01-05-2007

All SLK's are photogenic, of course

, and I know most of us have tons of pics of our cars, but it's hard to pick (pardon the pun) through all the various personal links, blogs, forums etc. to see the really good ones. So how about each owner select their personal favourite(s) from their collection, and post it up here.

Also please keep pic size to no greater than 1024 res to help load times. For those that need a site to host, in addition to the wonderful service provided here by Bill, there's a couple that I use (to help ease the load/cost on the server here)

The Mars Red SLK350 only has 10 spokes on the rims.

:-)

Only Mars Red can be the "perfect color" because it's what's in my garage, also with the 10 spoke rims.

;-)

Yes the other ones are very, very nice too.

My bad Racer...you're right. After looking at Scott's rims, I was in a visual daze.

Ynot · 01-06-2007

. no new one, haven't had a chance to take pics b/c of all the snow but here's an old one.

That's a nice shot Ynot. Height fits nicely for your wheel/tire setup.

**dsb** · 01-06-2007

I like the idea. In fact, I think it should be a sticky. One last note, let's try to keep it to GOOD pics. No posting of phone camera pics or anything similiar.

chwillia · 01-06-2007

I'd really like to get the Black Series body work and 19" wheels on her!!!

**alroumi** · 01-06-2007

DSB looks good, dont know why just reminds me of Tour De France Blue Ferrari's

**DansSlk** · 01-06-2007

Thread stuck!

Thanks as well dsb, and yes that was my intent - maybe see a few good pics none of us had seen before and encourage newer folks to jump in. Have a few pages of some really nice, origional shots!
