I'll echo everyone elses congrats! Your long wait, pain and suffering are finally over. Can't wait to see some pics! I'm in the UK this week and am missing my toy already. Can't wait to get back home and regain control of the car from my wife...

**dsb** · 07-09-2008

Congrats. It's such a great feeling finally getting the car home. I remember those days... Popping my head in the garage every so often just to admire it.

. good stuff.

**ir-ops** · 07-09-2008

driving top down for the past two nights, and feeling real great!

We know. Last line in my signature is from a Volvo ad. "When the top goes down, the urge to drive goes up". I agree.

w00t! Grats ir-ops !!1!

Heck ya, I've only had my baby for 2 weeks, so ya, I'm still peeking into the car port every few hours for satisfaction fix ( that is unless I'm out driving! )

cousjcc · 07-13-2008

Congratz man, hope you enjoy every second of it! I'm still waiting for mine, hopefully this coming week but if I'm unlucky then it'll be the week of the 20th. I just wish they hadn't discontinued caspian blue! I'm already scouting potential full-body repaint places to try to match that color as closely as possible LOL

Ikarus · 07-13-2008

ir-ops, I had completely forgotten you didn't have an SLK yet. Have fun and enjoy every second of driving it! I know you will.

**FishtailnZ** · 07-13-2008

Sorry I didn't see this initially, but congrats on finally getting your car! Now get off the 'net and get out there and drive it!

Twisted · 07-13-2008

ir-ops: congratulations on finally getting your order.

I'm eager to hear your thoughts because i'm actually considering ordering a facelifted 200 myself (due to the new upgrades technologically wise) but i' still currently undecided between that and a pre- 350. I know most are thinking the 350 but its not all about power

I'd also like to know how the new audio 20 is in the 200k and if you'd be able to use that new media interface as described. Also if you don't mind, how's the ride / power upgrade (if you've owned or driven a pre facelift 200) and the quality overall of the facelift.

Don't forget the pics

**ir-ops** · 07-15-2008

i'm still driving guys (and occasionally sleeping)...

...but will be back with photos and comments on saturday...

take care!

Great looking car and the right color too!!!

**FishtailnZ** · 08-02-2008

Looks great ir-ops, now get off the damn 'net and get out back driving it!

**Bernd js** · 08-02-2008

ir-ops,

really, the car looks very nice. The rims are the best looking non-AMGs.
It's with the large break discs at the front axle.

**alroumi** · 08-02-2008

a fab car you got there, its truly a gem. Take care of it.

**etyu** · 08-02-2008
