JetSet Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Yup i love it with the roof down at night. I drove all the way from Chester to Brands Hatch in Kent with the roof down in mid summer in my Triumph Spitfire eons ago. Set off at twilight and by the time I reached the outskirts of London it was light again. Memories . Pete 1 Quote

Pete I just drove to Italy and back taking the "scenic" route through Switzerland (think I crossed the Swiss/Italy border about 10 times in a day!)... don't think I would have bothered in a coupe, being able to look up at the mountains and take in the fresh air while flying through the mountain twisties... priceless! 1 Quote
JetSet Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Wow!!! Reminds me of The Tour De France, just needs a few bikes. Are those a couple of patches snow at the bottom right? Pete Quote

Webbz Posted August 6, 2013 Author Posted August 6, 2013 Had a test drive in a Mercedes SLK 350 today and loved it. A few grand more but I think it's worth it so bought and picking it up Monday. Thanks for all the comments though, it's stopped me buying what could of turned out to be big dissapointment. 1 Quote
HaydnH Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) Congrats on the new purchase, tbh my Mum drives an SLK and I find them really loose to drive as if the steering wheel isn't connected to the car at all, but just like some of the mods people do to their Zs on here, if you like it then that's all that matters.

Webbz Posted August 6, 2013 Author Posted August 6, 2013 Just to add to the mystery. The car was first registered in County Antrim so could it have been over there for a couple of years before being registered over here. Quote
