Just got my first SLK ( an R171 ) and really looking forward to being an owner - if the rain stops. But as I'm in Scotland it is not too likely.
Had a couple of Mercs before but never an SLK and am loving it so far. Bit of a car nut so will probably drive you all daft with questions but promise will use the search facility first.
Thanks for having me.

Some tips to make your visit here more enjoyable:
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, 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.
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.

Thanks for that:smile:

Forgot to say I'm an old git, took early retirement so just potter about. Still married surprisingly so must be going for a long service medal.
Spend most of my time washing and polishing the car and there have been many cars.
Cheers all.

Hi and welcome from the UK Midlands! :)
Thanks all for the welcoming posts. I have to admit I am a serious saddo as I wash the car after every journey out. Polish at least once a week and paint clean and wax every month. I know, I know:surprise:
