SLK/R171: manumatic, Tiptronic or Touchshift?
#52
OK Voize now I'm confused...... I'm sure previously you implied that you are based in Indonesia and that you had once lived in the USA but you don't anymore. You have also posted pictures of a car that has trade plates on and explain this by saying your car doesn't have its number plate yet (a few weeks after picking it up?????)...... so I'm assuming all this driving around in 3rd gear stuff you've been talking about is not on a public road (no plates = illegal in most of the world)?
Also yesterday at 5:24pm (UK time) you said "hmmm, this would be my last post, cos i gota sleep lol," so if you are in the US you would be going to bed just before lunch?????
The South Bay car pictures that you posted are also on an Indonesian website.......

I guess its similar to checking out a hotel on tripadvisor.com to see what the paying public think before parting with your hard earned.
So maybe we should have an amnesty for Voize to stop telling lies and admit the truth. What to you say guys.....I'll do the UN bit and pass an olive branch across to Indonesia. Lets see what happens.

ok dude, first of all I never say I "used" to live in USA. Im still living in USA for education.
YOu are lving in UK, while in USA when the car is newly purchased it takes like 1or2 months before the "Department of Motor Vehicle" sent u the "real license plate"<--- u should check this with people from USA first, before carelessly assuming (no plates = illegal in most of the world).
In usa this is summer holiday okay? I don't know about u in UK, me and my friend are throwing party everyday. Yesterday I stay late until 9 am!!! in the morning. So forgive me if my words offended anyone, coz I was a bit wasted. It's 4 am in the morning now. <--- Don't assume everybody is the same, some people like to party till they drop.
"The South Bay car pictures that you posted are also on an Indonesian website....... " <--- .....??? it's my country. I do have my own forum there??? duuh??? U think everything is only in mbworld?? lol!!!
I appreciate ur time for observing ( which is unecessary ) but I appreciate it even more if u thought carefully first, before start assuming something, and worse implying that I am a bull****ter.
oh sorry to add-on, In US u can have temporary license (Big sticker on the windscreen) before the actual license arrive. I hope this clarify the confusion. thx!

I wanted to stop discussing whether I have SLK or not since yesterday. It doesnt matter to other member and Sissy-SLK whether I have it or not. I have shown u my SLK pics since the beginning when I bought that car. It's now clear that Sissy-SLK only do this for his personal satisfaction
"So maybe we should have an amnesty for Voize to stop telling lies and admit the truth." <---- If u hadn't write this sentence your comment would hv been completely acceptable (not provoking me).
Well I thought I ended up this conflict yesterday, but now u start it again, forcing me to say I lied, when I am not.

When you post genuine pictures of your car with a piece of paper calling me something unpleasant, then it will be ended. Until then I, and many others know you are bull****ting.

You know what, I thought I would give u pic with my name on it, but it seems that no matter what I show u, u wont be satisfied ( so forget it ). Cos all u really really want is provoking and jackassing in this forum.
Read this posted by Easy-SLK after I ask for peaceful solution ---> https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...33#post1722833
Guys I intend to end this once and for all and make peace with him, but after seeing this post, that would be useless. So the best thing for me and everybody else in this forum is to ignore or ban this guy.
peace.

Hmm.. I thought I posted a response asking for a new set of pics... but I don't see in this thread.. so here goes:
Voize, why don't you just set everyone's mind at ease, and post your new pics right now? Use a cell phone camera, digital camera, anything you have at your disposal. Surely one of your party invitees or poker buddies will have one?
Innocent until proven guilty, but for Pete's sake, just post the requested pics already!
Thanks,
shahedC

No one, no state, is allowed to drive around for 1 or 2 months with no plates.
New cars get a temp tag, many (most?) states it's mounted right where the license goes, but it is usually ok to put in the back windshield also (temp tags are using posterboard like paper, so getting them too wet will destroy them).
Many (most?) states the tags are good for 14 days, until your metal plates come in.

While we are debating about Voize's "SLK", .. I have been (impatiently) waiting for my 2007 SLK350 (due in October).... so in the meantime, I gave in and got an SLK55 AMG to tide me over until I get my SLK350..
"huh?" you ask... "WTF...."
wait a few minutes till I upload the pics... you'll see.. :-)

close enough... I should've got the remote control version I saw while I was in California this summer... I couldn't find it in Virginia..
anyway, I found another version with working doors, hood, and retractable roof:
Here's a stop-action animation of it:

Enjoy! :-)

good enough... and it also has the South Bay plates.. so we know that it's the same car you showed us last time.
What say you, Easy-SLK?

And just in case anyone missed it...
or you're too lazy to scroll up a few inches..
here it is again:
http://benzfanz.com/SLK55/
(Plus, I updated it so that the stop-action animation automatically loops backward and forward instead of just repeating in 1 direction as the 360-view does... and I also made it a little faster)
Hopefully, I will have the Flash versions ready by the time I get my car.. will keep u all posted, so that you can experiment with your own pics...
