CLK and a passionate following
You know what, i never realised that the CLK had such a following. This is my first owned Merc and i have been reading the archives on this new to me forum and i must say how surprised at the enthusiasm and following of the CLK. I also have Italian cars (summer use), and it seems that the CLK brigade has a following just as passionate as the Italian metal.
I never realised that there was such a choice of wheels and body styling kits available, as well as interior styling. I am in the UK and you really dont see much in the way of CLK personal expression. But its good to see the variety of personal expression from say the US.
Well done lads, keep up the good work

I completely understand what you mean!! I completely fell in love with my ride again as soon as I started modding it. I was actually starting to get tired if it, but the gear brought it up a few years SO modding is KEY I think!!

I don't really notice it. I used to own a WRX here in the US, and that had a huge following. Other WRX flashing lights to say hi or giving thumbs up. The other CLK owners I see around day to day seem like zombies to me.

When I still owned my bmw 740iL, I used to get a lot of thumbs up or 'nice ride' from fellow bmw enthusiasts and I ocassionaly also gave a thumbs up to bmw drivers.
This doesn't happen as much with MB. But just last week after school, I stopped by a store with a few friends and I left something in my car, so I went outside and a black E class (W210) drives by and lets me cross the street and as I get to my car he said, "Nice Car!"

Nice to hear this from the other side of the world. You're lucky you have Inden design ( http://www.indendesign.de/html/bilder_66er.php?art=top ) close by to you, They have some of the nicest BBS LM's with their own flare to them I have ever seen. It's hard to connect with them over there to get these special wheels they are making. Any BBS vendor out here in the USA won't do this kind of amazing extreme offsets for you.

It's all in the place we live guys, don't blame it on the car now.
Out here in the West Side of Souther Cali, there is alot of Active Benz drivers (and a forum
) that Benz owners appreciate and give thumbs up, some Bimmer owners may flip you off out here tho...so it just depends, soon I will get the W208 movement going out here...don't you guys worry.

Don't get me wrong, I still love the AWD turbo. But now I hardly do the peace sign whenever i see other scoobies on the road. There are just too many of them now, not like when I first got my scooby back in '03.
