2 weeks ago, I mentioned about getting a new car. Well not exactly a new car, it's a new used car. Mercedes-Benz SLK230 Kompressor R170. Found this little gem online at carsales.com.au and after test driving it, I don't have any choice but to bring it home with me. With the price I'm paying for this, I can get a brand new Honda Accord or a Mitsubishi Lancer but it is a no brainer really, if you put all three cars side by side, which one will you pick?
The condition of the car is superb. Hardly any scratches, brand new tyres, full AMG bodykit - it has been looked after from the previous owner. The only thing that is not 100% is the side of the arm rest, which the vinyl is peeling a little.
So far, I have driven it twice, once to the mechanic to get it checked and the second time was to the audio shop to get a quote to upgrade the sound system. The reason why I have not driven it more often than I want is because it is still waiting for it's birth certificate (registration papers) which I will be getting on Thursday (3 days time). here in Victoria, it is cheap to get custom plates and I do like the idea of custom plates. I have ordered red plates with white text and it spells TWELF. I didn't want my name on it (always thought of having your name on your car is a bit of a wank) so I got TWELF, since there are a few significant things in my life happens on the 12th. The initial thought was getting the number 12 but it is way to expensive and the proper spelling TWELVE has been taken so TWELF will do just fine.
I must say, having the baby sitting in the garage for 2 weeks and can't drive it is a torture. A TORTURE!!
