Default Hello from Del Griffith

Hello all, I'm the new owner of a 2005 SLK 350, it's my first Merc. Previously I've only owned Chryslers..

I've been browsing these forums non stop for the past week, you guys are all amazing, I've never seen an internet forums like this before. Everyone is so helpful and nice.

I just purchased the Smarttop from the SLKstore.com, I'm going to my dealership today to check the price on an OEM Wind Restrictor.

My SLK came with command but it doesn't have Nav, Satellite Radio or Bluetooth, I would like to possibly add those things over time but I'm a big fan of OEM equipment and I'm not sure it will be worth the cost.

That's all for now, I'll be seeing you in the other forums.

First welcome, Del. As to the Smart Top, before you install it, read all the threads about it in here. It can make it a much easier project.

And this is a pretty special forum, isn't it?

PS I hate it when I write too much and Woolly gets his welcome in before mine. Make that the second welcome....

Hi and welcome. Del Griffith, you were the John Candy character opposite Steve Martin in "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles". Great 1987 movie. I remember your Chrysler K car in the movie. Enjoy the SLK.

Wow, you guys are amazing, no one ever recognizes my name. Planes, Trains and Automobiles is my favourite movie of all time. I've already ordered the licence plate NEALPAGE for my SLK and I can't wait for it to arrive.
