PLUCKED from it's parking space and ready to point south.

High powered sports car, seen here with an SLK.

Roof down. Hat on. Pray for sun, hit the road.

They say you should never go back. 

I absolutely love the power delivery on this thing. It just hooks, books, then goes and goes and goes. Getting back in it has reminded my of why it went in the first place though. It's very cramped and uncomfortable for a lad my size. With the roof down it's epic.

Big thanks to @Tickman @davehedgehog31 and @sdkrc for combining for what might have been a three or four way?! vehicle swap/collection/delivery mission. 

I never cease to be gobsmacked by the kindness and willingness to get shit done that Autoshite folk display.

I set off at ~530am this morning and had the roof down for 140 odd miles. Was glorious. Morning sunshine, supercharged whistling and almost no dobbers on the motorway.

The journey very nearly turned into a 4 legger with 3 cars collected but it didn't quite pan out right. 

30mins of my journey was looking for the button for the fuel cap and driving home for some WiFi so I could Google it.

So the rear arches - when I bought it in 2012 on the blue forum there were some gentle blebs and the seller did them before delivering it to me.

That repair has held up well, I think! Perhaps it could be done again still. Shame the sill ends have succumbed 😕 Those wings have hung on precisely six years longer than the point where I'd started planning to buy genuine new replacements (£360 each at the time).

Dashboard is like ??. But that's not a hard part to source and replace... Also did it not have factory mats before?

Yay , another SLK back. I'm sitting in a Travelodge in Towcester.. realised today what Sally Traffic was going on about when she mentioned Toaster..   

 

7 hours down in my SLK on the way to the Black Forest, 2nd tank just brimmed, working out at just over 36mpg, sitting all the way down the M6 with cruise on 80. Nothing to report.
