Sunburst yellow Mercedes SLK 230K

Not quite, its a lack of two screws or any sticky pads. Rich had just taken his privet plate off.

Will be fixerated today so I dont enrage POLICE INTERCEPTORS.

It's now time to prune your privet you know.

Your old one is still loitering around here hardly being used.

Really?

£500 tonight mate?

FOUR FIGURES ON ONE CAR?

 

You’ve either changed, or Pre-Brexit inflation is rampant and a bag of sugar is now £18.

 

It looks sublime. I had so many appalling thoughts about this after the 306 Cabrio of last year which was Sundance Yellow. It was just too rich for me.

 

Enjoy champ. Looks like a peach. Well, more a banana...

[Jim Bell]

Dug a couple of appropriate screws out of the fixings box and got fully legal.

 

 

 

Cleared the boot out and gave it a hoover. I discovered a boot liner (always awesome) and 3 spiders (never awesome).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also gave the interior a good clean and hoover (what there is of it) just to brighten the cockpit up a bit.

 

Next step is a full service and a fuel line replacement.

[Jim Bell]

And some stickers because Im terribly childish.

You can drive it some of the way if you like man. The quick way. 2 hours odd is enough ish for me to be origami'd in.

Phwaorrr, that'd be awesome. Wonder what he'll make of topless motoring!

[Jim Bell]

You best keep your top on man. Youll stick to the leather.

Barnard castle seems to be a very small diversion, suggest I'll buy some pies for lunch on the way.

 

shame it adds 40 minutes to go via Alston

Where did you get the pacman sticker from ? I think that would look rather snazzy on the mx5.

 

Nice yello car, I was tempted myself

I do have a spare you could have for £4.00 if you like? I bought 2 in case I fucked up the first application.

It's rained on and off all day today so I still haven't run this with the top down. I did cycle the roof at the supermarket undercover though, to check it works fine.

 

Mechanicals.

 

 

 

 

It does look very bonny with the lid folded.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ordered service bits today. Next step is a good cervix and a replacement pez pipe.

 

One day in and I'm STILL loving it.

[Jim Bell]

 

It's officially faster than a Suzuki Baleno GSR.

 

[Ohdearme]

Lovely thing, wife would have my eyes out with spoon for arriving home in a banana though. Good job she never saw me yellow Barchetta.

[John F]

Wowsers!

 

Shit count exceeded by days owned. Dem nu tings!

 

[brownnova]

That looks ace... so glad it’s not a silver one coz they look dreary.

 

Yellow is a real car colour!

[Jim Bell]

Any dreary car in the whole wide world is elevated greatly by being produced in a yellow hue. Brown, through beige and gold, all winning colours true.

What app did you use for that? Looks interesting

[Jim Bell]

It's Speed Logic Lite on Android.

Pretty good for a free app and has a canny range of features.

 

Even projects a HUD on your windscreen in night mode (if you fix your phone to the front of the dash I guess)

No disrespect intended, but based on a few of your posts your Mrs sounds terrifying

Nah she's not too bad to be honest I've more or less worn her down now to the point of just giving me despairing looks but she definitely draws a red line at yellow cars, if that makes sense.

 

She is a giving soul...for example, I took a week off after my 40th birthday and she allowed* me to shovel out 7-8 tonnes of gravel from round the clock bulk bags deliveries on to the garden.

 

She may also have given me the nod to trigger a collection fred tomorrow

My missus hated yellow cars so I took her money and bought her a yellow Ignis Sport. Immersion therapy. It grew on her even though she eventually sold it and she's not complained about my yellow cars since.

[garbaldy]

I wouldn't worry about it gents my Mrs hates all the cars I own even the ones she doesn't know about
