Nice SL....K
« on: June 14, 2010, 01:53:14 »
So I pulled up behind a nice new SLK today -- looked over and my 8 year-old was snapping this with my phone. Not a bad shot -- and I think the SLK model is getting a bit bigger and better looking these days? Anyone know for sure?

I agree - it's much more aggressive and sporty. The old model was worthless - I once took a Fiat Coupe and an SLK out for a photoshoot (the client was a jeweller, but we managed to persuade him that the model should be driving a cool car...). The much cheaper Fiat ran in circles around the SLK, but it was fun to play with the folding roof which was really a novelty at that time...

James,
Are you sure the boy wasn't practicing some of dad's pick up techniques?

Maybe he's a "chip off the old block" or is it a case of "How I Meet Your Mother"
