Nice, next time tried to captured the drift, looking at a pic of an empty street is a bit boring.

I will make sure I will do

noregret4life · 07-20-2006

This is where front and rear cameras like i'm installing would of been great!
I could just imagine seeing your drift from the front bumper's view, and see the rear kick out on the back camera...

Pretty old thread, but... get your 55!, take some shoots and let us Know!!!

PaKKo · 12-11-2007

280 for drifting and 55 for sunbathing hehehe

**alroumi** · 12-11-2007

Actually its 55 for smoking the tryes and 280 for drifing, if I do drift in the SLK55 I know that my car will lie on top of the sidewalk from the sheer torque of the 5.4Litre V8!.

Unfortunatley we did sell our SLK280 and traded it in for a 2007 Jaguar XKR, it was a hard transffer and once you get used to a certain car its hard to let go.

My parents traded in their SLK280 because the steering wasnt as smooth as the 55 AMG and it takes more force to turn the steering wheel, in addition its a sports car and the springs are kind of stiff so the Jaguar which is a grand tourer is more spacious and has a softer feel to it interms of driving feel.

GregoryGR · 12-11-2007

Yes Mo' we all know that you traded your parents' 280 to get the XKR... :-)
I shall rephrase my previous statement...

"Get your XKR, then the '55, drift, shoot and let us compare!!"
