Smile Just wanted to say Hi

.......to all you SLK lovers.

I've been a SLK owner since 2002 and been mad on them since they were born.

After having much fun and fantastic memories with my (98) 230 I swapped her for a Yellowstone 32 AMG with designio extras and she is fantastic. A real stunner if I must say so myself.

I took these pics just after I did the "deal" where she was still in the Mercedes compound. It started to rain so I couldn't show her off topless but she was still a "ray of sunshine" to me then and still is now.

I hope one day I will get an opportunity to show her off and meet some of you guys at a UK GTG sometime!

Safe driving and be lucky!

Jude

Wonderful car, i don't know many people around here who like real bright colours but i think they look great.

I'm gonna have to mention this cause i just can't help myself but you have a rather unfortunate numberplate.

That is one very very clean SLK32, I really like it in Yellow stone and I find it to be absolutley stunning.

I hope my car is around that condition in a few years time.

My SLK AMG is a Designo aswell, enjoy your car and welcome to the best slk forum in the world.

Welcome to the forum and that is one very nice 32 AMG.

I noticed from your profile that your partner has a Brabus W201, I recently came across a sales brochure for this car on Ebay and thought it may be of interest to him.

Have fun driving your new car and seeing as I live in Sheffield I may catch a glimpse of you (well I'm not going to miss that colour am I!)

BEAUTIFUL! Don't forget to ask your insurance company for the discount, at least here in the US they give 20% for yellow cars.

Welcome, too!

Even the shift knob is 2-tone and color matched.

Actually been looking back at the days were I spent my summer in london 02, most of the cars in the road are either Dark blue, Silver or Black which makes your Yellow SLK32 standout even more.

You've got the best color there is for the R170. Looks great with the interior accents.

Glad to have here Jude!! I love the 170 in yellow! It totally distracts from all the dull variations of silver...LOL!!
