Finally after a year and a half I drove my dads CLK320
I have to say it was amazing, I used to drive around town in my 1.8 Peugeot 306 thinking the pick up was all that but when I got in my dads car the speed was unbelievable and even the engine roar to me was beautiful. Now when I sit im my car it feels so damn slow.
I am sorry if this does not interest anyone but I am still on a high from driving it and had to let someone know.
Thank you for listening.

Used to be a CLK430
Congrats on your first drive, I still get that feeling @ 24yrs old!! Your next challenge, if you choose to accept: CLK430!! Once you have conquered that feat, just try to pry the keys away from a CLK55 owner~~I haven't completed this one yet!! Good luck!!!

kid, i know the feeling... when i first drove a clk320 about 2 years back, i was very very impressed with the power and agility. salivated over getting one for years, and when the time came, I tested out a 430, and never turned back.
once you experience a V8, you NEVER go back. Well... few exceptions, but not in a CLK

There are not many 430's 500's or 55's of anything in my area and I doubt in nearly the whole country because petrol here is bloody expensive, I can only imagine how fast a CLK55 would be.

2001 CLK
Many other countries are deprived of the large engines we are blessed with here in the US. I've gone to Belgium, Germany, India. I couldnt believe the dinky little engines they had there. The Belgian company I worked for offered free gas for its employees along with company cars, so it was great for everyone in the office there. Nice cars with dinky engines.

I know how it feels. When I had my 320 a year back, I was amazed and thought "wow!!!"
but I live in van city, a CLk just doesnt' stand up unless you mod it
Plus my school has Clks running around like you wont believe, 430, and 55s just roaming around the campus =)
Still, it's good to have a Clk
