Should have a car spotting thread. I spotted a RED SLK 55 Downtown fort worth and a white 350 in the same place yesterday. But I was walking.. Which Aint a common thing here, they probably though I was a vagrant.

I spotted Noregret yesterday on Grand Ave (in Leonia, NJ) 20 seconds after I spotted another black SLK (280 or 350) on the same street (I was going into the other direction).
I made a signal with the head lights to the first SLK, but it was to late when I’ve seen Noregret.
Noregret did you recognize my red SLK or you were too busy thinking of the next mod for your Bond SLK?
I was wondering if the driver of the other SLK is also part of this forum.....?

benz--man, Don't know where my head was... I usually pick out an SLK from a mile away. I guess i was in a hurry to get to the park for a little rollerblading Sorry about that...

And YES, i was thinking of a new mod... one that i actually have been considering since my first Benz (R170)! Check the new Thread in Gen Mods.

I saw a 350 on Rt4 West coming home from work yesterday as well. It was silver, driver seemed elderly, 84deg F and he was driving with the top UP, windows UP. I guess everyone has their days... I pulled up next to him waved hello, he just kind of ignored me then grinned. Not very social, but its cool.

I was then going to pull up next to him and invite him to SLKWORLD.COM but he pulled ahead and my exit came up.

I think an "SLK Spotted" or "SLK Siting" thread would be great.

I spotted a Iridium silver SLK350 going west on Belleview at 6:30am in the morning while heading to work. It was entirely stock looking. He kept staring at me and my SLK the entire time, if you are on here, wave back next time. It's rude to stare.

Should we post a thread in the general discussion for both R170 and R171? Anybody want to start? Something with date, approximate time (or simply day, afternoon and evening) and where (highway no. or street name)? What's the sign language for SLK world? Anyone with a short video clip? This would be a good greeting for fellow forum members.

For those thinking of an SLK encounters thread, It should be called SLK encounters

Small world?????
Small just got very very tiny!!!!!
I too live in New Milford (across River Road from CVS).
"Luckily" we are working in different towns (although next to each other), otherwise someone might think there is a paranormal phenomenon going on.

No WAY!

I usually don't drive much through NM, which would explain the lack of exposure.

I live 2 blocks from the Sunoco gas station, off River Road (on the right after that empty lot)

There is indeed a paranormal phenomenon going on. We should switch cars back and forth, a couple days in a row... that will get the neighbors really questioning their eye sight
