I spotted a Mars Red SLK350 in Woodridge, Illinois last weekend. They must be used to driving VW's because they didn't use their turn signals. I was in a rented 'poontang (Red 2007 Mustang).

After living in Miami Beach with all the lights everywhere, I forgot how dark it was out in the 'burbs of Chicago. I must say, the Mars Red, in the dark, with just the headlights on and foglights off, doesn't look nearly as interesting in the front end as it does in places with a little light bouncing off the curves.

I regularly see 3 silver SLK350's and 2 silver SLK280's on the causeway from Miami Beach, and around the beach. I have also seen a silver SLK55 at the Publix grocery store here, a black SLK350 at a party at my house (120 people, didn't find out who had it), and a Firemist red SLK350 around the beach.

A note to one of the silver SLK350 owners: Markos, when it's 73 degrees out, there is no reason for cruising the beach at 30 MPH with the top up. Especially since your shaved head has no hair to toss out of shape!

A note to the people with the other Mars Red SLK350 in Miami Beach: Thank you, I got to see your special ordered car to see how the Red looks, and got to hear the HK sound system with my CD tester when the car first came in to Coral Gables. The creme interior does look very nice on the red.

I see one nearly ever day. a 350 on the lockheed car park in fort worth. Never had chance to chat with the guy or gal yet.. Maybe we nee some slkworld flyers to put on spotted cars.. hehe

Apparently, someone spotted my SLK in the parking garage at work since I got a handnote on my window advising me to check out slkworld.com
Dunno if the guy has also an SLK.

The person should have left you his username from SLKworld. My guess is tungster.

equipeduciel · 08-16-2006

In fact, now that I browsed around the site, i would say it's SLKman... I'll hopefully know soon.

**etyu** · 08-18-2006

Saw a pewter SLK on Lake Forest Drive at 0830 today, August 18th, with the top up, near the intersection at Rockfield. Anyone from this forum?

**SLKman** · 08-21-2006

Yep. It was me that left the note. Your car is AWESOME! had to let you know about the group here. All good people!

SLKman

equipeduciel · 08-21-2006

She is awesome indeed (hey, a car is a woman in French

) and you gotta love the license plate!!!
Now I'm dreaming of upgrading to the SLK 55, but well...

RonJeffries · 08-21-2006

OK ... who has the silver-colored SLK at Zukey Lake Tavern??

**etyu** · 08-21-2006

Who was the gentleman with a white cap driving a red SLK 350 with the top down going north on the 405, near Culver city, on Sunday, August 20th, around 11 am?

Either the SLK is becoming realllllllly common, or it's just west Hollywood.

One of the SLK's I saw was a black 350 with the AMG kit and black wheels. Very nice ride...I wonder if he's on this forum.

It's the "I'm butch and not a snob" response car to the stuck up femme's driving SL's in the gay mafia. We have a lot of them in South Beach, too.

I should just give up on the humor. I don't think it works....

chris_m · 09-11-2006

This is a cool folder! I always wonder when i see an slk on the street as to whether it's a member of the forum. Might have to take more notice of the details of the car next time.

One that stands out is a black r171 slk in the ruislip area, license plate is personalised with a letter, then number 7, then three letters.

Vin · 09-11-2006

my black SLK is often in that area (ruislip), but not that number plate. im waiting to transfer my private V1NOT onto my SLK

chris_m · 09-11-2006

Let me know when you get your (fantastic) personal plate transferred and i'll keep an eye out for you.

Don't be shocked when you see a guy waiving frantically at you out of the roof of a blue 06 slk ending ORU

- that's my first banana!
