Hello all~
I'm a new member and I've just purchased my second Mercedes Benz. We bought a 2009 550 CLK, my first Mercedes was my first car, a 1956 1/2 190 four door sedan. I bought it in 1975. It was in need of a lot of TLC, but with a new battery, a gas tank flush and fresh tank of gas the car started on the second try.
I'm definitely in love with our new one. The CLK 550 is a pleasure to drive and is extremely fast. I've had a lot of cars, but this one is the fastest. I did have a 1979 BMW 635csi Euro that may have given it a run for it's money! I also had a BMW 320i that was set up for racing in the P prepared category in the BMW Car Club, the P prepared category was for cars that had only suspension mods and therefore was the stock engine and pretty slow by most standards.
Anyway, I look forward to reading and contributing to this forum for Mercedes Benz.
Best regards~

Welcome to MBWorld Kia and grats on the new to you CLK. Got any pics of the classic you had? I love old MBs. Had a certain gravitas about them.

Let us know if we can help you out with any lighting upgrades on the CLK. We have plug and play HIDs and LEDs to give you nice clean white lighting.

Anyway thanks again for the Welcome!
