Congrats!

Naturally aspirated V8? I hear they are reliable enough in case of MB.

Wow congrats! That V8 makes that car, and supposed to be reliable too. Enjoy every throttle tip in!
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Congrats! This will be a fun car. plus the sound, so nice

Nice!! I test drove one of those for KD two summers ago

KD called me to test one but I was away on holidays. I wonder if this is that one as it was in the London area.

 Very nice...what made you decide on getting another car like this? Life getting too boring? ;)
I love it when a plan comes together.

Well, nice to see someone on the forum get one!  ;D Cool car, and my wife still talks about getting one someday.  Man, they are a rare beast around these parts though.  I've seen only two in the flesh that I can remember.  Saw the one in the pic last summer and waited a bit for the owner to come out to inquire about it but took too long so i booked off.  :P

Great big engine stuffed into a tiny car; what's not to like?  :skid:

Congrats Aqua!  Looking forward to your impressions.  :fiver:

There was an SLK around our neighbourhood years ago not too long after they first came out. The driver looked to be fairly old (75+/-) and the plates read "LANC 43". Someone told me he was ex Bomber Command. I always thought that was very cool.
