Hullo! drinks are on me!

[Dainesegirl]

Hullo everyone. I've just found this forum. Have an SLK, but sadly about to sell it. Never knew this forum existed otherwise would have joined 4 years previous!

What are you having from the bar? :-D

 

[SLinKyjoe]

depends if you after buying another...would want to socalise with none mercs owners would we? well not in here anyway.


and 4 years late is better than never. least you got here. some none believers dont think we exist at all.

 

[Dainesegirl]

Have thought about the new SLK350 but wasn't overly enamoured with it. It felt a bit heavy and too powerful for me. Now if they had brought out a 2.5 or 2.7 THEN I would have been interested...

 

[SLinKyjoe]

3 litre due soon....called the 280 for some reason.

mind you with a bit of tinkereing you can get a 200 to knock out 215BHP.

 

[SLicKaren]

I'm awaiting my new SLK200. Due in September.

This is a great forum. I've being reading it for the past few months, and I learned a lot about my new purchase from the threads. Thankyou

Karen

 

[SLicKaren]

Sorry I'm back again. How do you get those pictures beside your name?
I am just getting my head around the different options
Thankyou again

Regards Karen

Are you really Joe

I read some things you wrote about the SLK months ago.
You know an awful lot about them, and it helped me a lot when dealing with the salesman. Thankyou SLinKyjoe.

I did not notice the SLK in your name for ages (being female I suppose), and as K is my first initial of my name, I kind of copied you (a bit). Hope you don't mind.

[nicky]

Jjust upload the pic to you avatar

 

[marshie001]

aparently you need to have posted at least 100 posts to activate the avatar (little pic beside name)

but if you do what i did and ask really nicely you can get one early ;-)

 

[SLinKyjoe]

Cor....this is the first time I have been copied......you must be bonkers....


and thanks for the nice comments....i must have been of some help...(swaggers off, ego inflated)

 

[SLicKaren]

Thankyou Nicky and Marshie001,

I pressed the CB button and avtar one, but nothing worked on the page that came up on the screen. If you need 100 to get one, this might be why it will not work for me.
Marshie01, how did you get one? Who do you have to be nice to? Is there a boss here?

 

[SLinKyjoe]

There is a boss person..but some of us will help should be nice.

 

[marshie001]

yeah slinkys got a bit of clout round ere!! he'll sort it out for ya.

And whats the spec of this car that i helped you with?

 

[pascal]

I think the default setting for both Avatar and PMing is 25. If you request earlier activation, it is seldom a problem. Will have a word with VB on monday.

BTW. Welcome to the forums to both Dainesegirl & SLicKaren.

Hi Joe

Your comments made me smile. I do want to say that I don’t think I am bonkers as you put it, but I don’t like the way you phrase things.

I have to test your knowledge of SLK’s. So I am going to list the spec by code and know we will find out if the SLK you drive is really a Skoda.

As I said earlier it is a SLK200. With 213, 423, Y98, Y96,309, 275, 500, 581, 220,241,819,386

Hi Pascal,

Thank you for the welcome. I can see you are from Ireland. Its a bank holiday here in the UK so if someone helps me on Monday I am sure you will have a magic wand.

Karen.

ps. I did have a few problems registering too. I dont know if that is the reason I cant upload images, but with a bit of perseverance I got through. I can see it may put others off. I hope it doesn't. I have found a few more forums on here that as a guest you dont see.
