I have been a 'Benz guy since the mid 70's. Even Pro Rallied a 250 back in the '70's. Current fleet that I do 100% of the maintenance / resto on are 1998 SLK230 auto (262K miles), 1999 SLK230 manual (just purchased 117K miles), 1989 300TE (400K+ miles, odo dead for years), 1990 560SEL (250K, odo also recently deceased) and a long delayed 1974 SLC Rally Car project that I will likely sell real cheap. Other vehicles include a '67 E-Type coupe, '68 MGB, '71 Eldo Convert, '90 XJ-S V 12 convert, '47 International KB-1 street rod, '60 MGA I have had since 1975 and a '93 Wrangler 4-cyl 5-speed. I won't even talk about the motorcycles...... Fortunately my wife enjoys the cars and associated characters as much as I do!

Welcome to SLKWorld.com: The #1 Mercedes-Benz SLK Forum from Florida!

If you haven’t, please use the 'search' feature at the top right of the page for your questions as they have probably been asked before. Remember, ‘Search’ is your friend.
If you wish to become PM (Private Message) capable or to ‘edit’, you need 15 posts. To get those 15 posts quickly, just go to the ‘New members introduce yourself here’ section and welcome enough new members to obtain your needed posts to PM/edit. You can always pm a moderator.
Want to post a picture? Start a new thread or make a post, click ‘edit’, click on the ‘paper clip’ or ‘advanced’ and/or ‘manage attachments’ then ‘choose file’ then ‘upload’ and ‘submit’! If Iphone pics, you need to rename any additional pics as Iphone names its pics all the same, image.jpg.
Want to ‘like’ or thank’ someone’s comments? Use the ‘like’ button to the right or the ‘Thanks’ button, bottom right of any post you like. This saves you having to comment.
New members should be aware that the 'New Posts' link next to the 'Search' link top right of the info bar is a great way to see all of the posts you have missed since you were on the forum last. Remember to click 'mark forums read' under ‘quick links’ when you leave.
FREE!! Post your vin in the Vehicle Datacard Request section to get a free datacard (options on your car). You must update your profile with vehicle info and your location and post an introduction first.
