Thanks for all the congrats.
It's quite a lot of fun to drive. Unfortunately, we'll be going on a 2week vacation today. This is one vacation that I'll be looking forward to coming home !!!
Friends and family have offered to look after the SLK when we're gone !

The SLK63 will likely come out in MY08 but I figured 355hp is plenty for such a small car. I dont want to get into too much trouble too quickly. When I test drove the press car, with traction control on, I could hang the tail out quite easily
I must say AMG's is alot more 'forgiving' when it comes to traction contrl than the 545.

I only put about 120km before I went on vacation. The SLK puts a bigger grin on my face then the 545. The 7 speed autobox is very quick and it's in comfort mode for the first 1000miles.
