DTM CLK is making a tour to different dealerships
Alright guys, as the designated Picture Post *****... I thought I'd post a few pics of car you all know and love... probably the only W209 that deserves our ooohs & aaahs...
This car made its way to the W.I. Simonson Mercedes dealership last Friday morning, not sure how long it will be there, but these pics were taken today... almost 1 week later.
Sorry about the glare on some of the pics...

The car looks so sweet, it makes me ALMOST feel like getting a W209 instead... but, I love what I got, and won't ever trade for the 209...
But, I thought I'd let ya'll know, before you get too excited about this car... it is ALL SHOW... NO GO!!!
I was taking a close look, and I noticed, dude, this guys brakes and rotors don't look right. The rotors look PAINTED and is a solid block instead of the preferred cross drilled for racing... and the calipers look kinda choppy... some other minor things looked weird too...
So, when I was chatting with my SA, he told me, that car is sweet, but it is fake... it doesn't even have an engine...
My guess... it is just a marketing car... just to show MB owners what is out their on their race circuit... it is nothing other than a Shell with wheels... nothing under the hood... hell, even the brakes were fake... still, if you are in the neighborhood, check it out. The car's design & body kit is quite a sight to see....

CLK 230 Kompressor
Alessi is a formula 1 has-been. Drove a Tyrell (now defunct) and impressed some folks who later put him in a Ferrari.
He achieved more fame as a temperamental hot-headed driver than as a race-winner.
He should be interesting to watch in the DTM series.
