Ive finally got my car (slk 320 2001) in bright silver

Hi everyone. I have finally found the car that i have been looking for.
Ater several long journeys and may waste of times my new slk 320 is
finally parked on my drive. I must admit it was worth waiting for, having
covered 63000 miles from new, and a geniune one owner from new, and a
full merc sevice history. I had my first proper drive of this car on thursday
and i must say what an impressive car this is. The 5 speed automatic box
and the overall handling of this car are superb.Everthing feels so firm and
also the seats are very comfortable and hold you in place very well too.
I have to say ive owned several sports cars now, whch include a z3 and a
bmw 330ci, and a ur quattro and this car is second to none of these cars
all of whitch have all been fun to drive, but i must say the slk comes out
on top for me.The very smooth drive and great suspension make this car
the best of both worlds, i mean the comfort of a saloon and also the power of a sports car all in one, and of course the brilliant fold away roof.
I cant wait for the summer to arrive.well i hope i havent bored you all to much but i just had to let you know how good it feels to drive the slk 320.
Many thanks for reading , Derrick :).
P.S. I am looking for a spare wheel if anyone as one for sale or can put me in the right direction it would be very much appreciated
17" five stud and 5 spoke.

Hi Derrick
Welcome to the forum and congratutions on your SLK :thumb:
 
Hi Derrick, congratulations on your car! There's nothing quite like the feeling of getting just what you want and then finding that it really is as good as you thought it would be :rock:

Welcome to the wonderful world of the three-pointed-star :thumb:
 
Welcome! am glad u went for the V6.
 
Hi Derrick welcome to the forum :thumb:
 
Hello hope you get some nice weather soon so can have the roof down.... I too had a z3 and 330ci vert back in my single days. Nice car the SLK and still people are suprised when you lower the roof.

Not sure much room for a spare? Think that's why they have a compressor and can of goo in the boot. My dad had one of the first slk's a 1998 model and kept it for 7 years he liked it so much.
 
Hi Derrick, not a SLK top down day today round here. Welcome to the forum and happy motoring.
 
Welcome and congratulations.
 
Hi Derrick
Your new car sounds great. I'm sat here tonight watching crappy tv coz I cant sleep... because tomorrow actually its today now in 10 hours time I get to collect my very own SLK. Only waited 45 years to get it!!! My one though has the smaller 2300 engine. Hope the sun comes out for both of us!!!

all the best

Thankyou Chris, well it rained all day saturday and sunday.
So no roof down yet. I did however get up very early sunday morning and
washed and detailed the car. It took me a good 5 hours to do the car but
very much worth the effort.N ow all im waiting for is a little sunshine or atleast a dry day just so that i can get out on the open road.Well i hope
you enjoy your car as much as i am mine, they are great fun to drive,and the v6 engine esp fast. regards, Derrick :).
