Bobk, you'll love the R129 after your R107... the difference everywhere is huge! But everyone seems to agree the SL600 is too heavy up front for good handling. But then, that turbine smooth response...

I'm fretting again.

Watched a British tv program last night - "5th Gear." They were comparing half a dozen upmarket sportsters, ranging from a Honda S200 to an Lotus Eloise, a TVR, even a Boxster.

The Boxster won. But my gripe - there was no SLK in the mix! Unbelievable! The perfect car for this small car convertible test - the SLK - was not even mentioned in passing.

What is it with these guys! Or our cars? I'll be grumpy all day now that I've bought an SLK for my wife and I might have to tell her that it is the dark horse of the motoring community.
