Hi, had the CLK a week now and love it. Its a late 2004 (2005 facelift) in Jasper Blue with black leather (mint).
Only problem is the cold running never going above 60 and corresponding low heat from the heater, so I've ordered a new thermostat after reading other threads on here (thanks!).
After cleaning it yesterday (I did about 300 miles last week) the CLK was gleaming and after work today I popped into my local ASDA (a small town) and parked it in the farthest and very emptiest corner of the ASDA car park and guess what, yep, 2 pillocks had parked either side in what was still a very empty carpark about 2.30pm on a cold Tuesday afternoon (I work shifts)! Unbelievable!! I should mention one of the idiots had parked really really close so I had to squeeze into my car in what was still an empty car park! Does anyone have similar experiences??
By the way on a 167 mile trip back from Cumbria (where I bought the car) I achieved 52 mpg at an average 51 mph, especially as it was below freezing going over the North Pennines with snow on the ground for 25 miles and 30 odd miles of 50 mph max on the M1! Superb car!!
