dingo: Australia's a long way off, but you can always try to see if there's any 55 owners there who might be willing to show you the SLK (mbnz.org or mbworld.org has the largest number of owners who visit MB forums... but the 55 has only just been released in Australia, so owners are few and far apart).
dani_d_mas: you wouldn't be the first one. I've had one guy from the states and another from the UK come all the way to the Geneva car show and also pop in to see my old Brabus
TT: my GF will probably smell something fishy too when I tell her that I'm not coming home right after work, lol. but I've done it before, I went out eating Fondue with some other car nuts who live in Vaud (one of them I met on an MB forum and he recently traded his old SLK for a new 350). It's all in good fun, and I'm not sexy enough to reel in that many girls in the first place
