Normally, I don't drive my CLK to the office, but did today as it was so nice out.

Anyway, peeking outside this afternoon, I spot my CLK and in the next two spots are a W209 CLK55 (Red, no less!) an old school W124 AMG 3.0 sedan (white with Aero Is). Older, conservative guy driving it....

Wish I had brought my camera to the office today

The generous folks over at the AMG Club in Germany gave me that statistic. It is the total number of W208 CLK55 coupes made for the world (for all years). Roughly half were imported to the U.S.

I've seen the stats for the W208 CLK55 cabrio being as little as 400 units for worldwide production....only made for model year 2002, export only.

What part of North Carolina do you live in? We have little GTGs on a somewhat frequent basis here in Atlanta. Went to the drags a couple weeks ago and had a huge weekender meet back 04/30-5/01 when the head of AMG (U.S.) came down for a visit...

So did you wait for the owners of the red CLK55 and ask that person for a race? :v
