slk 230 2001
hope i'm in the right section for newbies, i am 65 years old so not very computer tech savvy any way i'll take this opportunity to introduce myself. I am Chris Haze and i'me on my second merc the first one was a old 207 van I did over 150000 miles in that the most reliable van I've ever owned. Now my wife and me own a 2001 SLK 230 that i purchased for £1000 last October and have been using it as a running restoration, as now its our only transport. It had the usual tin worm that I've been trying to tackle over the past year . I Wasn't much interested in roadsters before we got the slk. But my wife has always loved them mainly mg's her last one was a mgtf that i had to work on and maintain for the last 8 years and was often a real pain to work on , but thankfully she liked the look of the slk and i like the engineering of the car and we both like the driving experience I will post some pictures of the slk soon and hope to gain and contribute some valuable tips and information from the members cheers Chris

Welcome Chris. It sounds like you know your way around cars. It's a great marque and this forum is well populated with experience and expertise, and they're generous with it. Shared knowledge and collective enthusiasm make for a supportive group. It's incredible that these machines can be bought for £1000, I'm curious to know how many miles on the clock. I hope your car serves you well.
