Current SLK R170 owner daydreaming of a R230 SL55...

[A.J.]

Still have the bike for real speed!

Why is it that bikers think that speed limits don't apply to them. ??

Don't worry, I am not whiter than white, I am an ex-biker of many years ago but of course the only resemblance of bikes then to bikes of to-day is that they have two wheels pretty much.

Fixed that for you... The number I see not just speeding but ignoring double white lines is astonishing.,

r230 the best looking car in its class, and a glider drive, however,for no particular reason it can really take a chunk out of yr wallet. as lk ,sl350 prob best compromise, but it will be that. 500 55 and 600just like a tall beutiful chic if you take her to harrods she probrably treat you right ,try mucky donalds and she likely kick you in the nuts, might anyway, just to keep you on yr toes, thats how i see my Sl600.

I've just been over in California and I've seen loads of SLs cruising around (Some beautiful SL550s, aka European SL500s) and they look incredible with the roof down!

I'm really conflicted now as I want the performance of the SL55 with the looks of the new facelifted R231. I don't know whether to compromise and get a SL350 (2012 onwards) or go with the power of the older SL55... or find a way to get an R231 SL500... perhaps find a higher mileage model...
