So will a lil scratch on a SLK55, the ceramic coating will mean the entire piece will need to be resprayed, not just the area of the scratch ceramic = ££££

no lol, i meant that enthusiastically too, sorry :p
i always say that to my friends in a joking manner

see, the amazing thing is that we will have the same exact engine as the SLR, except for the fact that the SLR has a huge air-intake and a excellent supercharger. i will be very happy with the SLK 55

If you crash an SLR it wont chip or scratch. I saw a photo of an SLR in an accident where the other car was a mess and the SLR was only mildly offended with a small marking on the side.

I think you are so keen on the SLK that you have overlooked some of the differences (on purpose naturally).

Typical American, more concerned about agreement on an issue than actual facts.

So i must trawl the internet and find the photos or will you just take my word for it ......

Meh .... you can take my word for it.

Ipso facto. I could not have proven my point any better.

Incidentally, you are not the centre of the world by population, nor the centre of the world by historical weight, nor the centre of the world by land mass, nor the centre of the world by oil production.

But when it comes to blowing things up ..... you got me there.

Calling it GAY .......... proves what ?

Perhaps I was hasty in my judgement of Americans, maybe it's the insecure people in this thread that need adjustment.

exactly like i said...you talk trash, yet forget to say where youre from? truly you are the internet toughguy who speaks tough when you can so conveniently hide behind your computer.

crying about americas war on terrorism i see... so does that mean you are in support of terrorism? or in support of anti-american sentiment? without the United States and their movement against issues of the world, morons like you wouldnt be free to run your mouth. so just be quiet and say thank you, instead of coming onto this great forum and speaking nonsense with your anti-american rally cry.

My apology. I had this confused with an American forum about German cars, you know, the Germans that are abstaining from the new world order. I shouldnt confuse you by asking what car you drive.
