New car & new member

[Ironhead]

Hi everyone......new today.
I have just (Friday) agreed to buy a 2.1/2 month old SLK350 and hope to pick it up this Sunday or Monday.
It's black with black & red sports seats, 10 spoke alloys and all the toys!
I haven't even got any photo's of it....yet.
This will be my first MB having had Jaguars since 1988. We still have an XK8 that we're keeping but I'm really looking forward to picking up the SLK.

Batman would be proud!

Red leather covered rollover bars?

No heated seat belts???? No extra capacity battery

Sounds like you're gonna have plenty to play with before you even get off the drive :wink:

I reckon the 7G comes with button shifters option on the 350, so you got those too?

If so interested in your experience of them. Fun? useful? only for show?

Sorry about the belts & the battery!
Yes, it's got the buttons......tried them out and they seem like they are great, probably fun / useful in that order,
although they will take a bit of getting used to.
I will let you know when I've had it a couple of weeks.
