Hello crowd,
I'm Laurent, I live in France, near the German border.
I just bought my very first SLK Today and she's a beauty.
It's a 2004 R171 200K automatic Fully loaded, in particular the famous Airscarf wich was mandatory for me.
The previous owner fitted some SLR type Rims, I quiet like 'em actually. Take a look!
It also includes Parktronic and other gizmos i'm not quiet familiar with: Power seats, electric wheel adjustment...
I wanted an SLK for the best part of 5 year now, I really love this car, it makes me feel special when I drive it.
See you around folks!
Laurent

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.

Bonjour from Western Canada! Nice looking car. For those of us who live in 'cooler' (read 'very cold' for me) climates, the airscarf is indeed a critical option. I have it , along with heated seats, the SmartTop (to raise the back side windows when driving), and finally a Windrestrictor, all make top down motoring possible in some very low temperatures.

However, not in the snow. :wink:

Enjoy your new ride.
