Hi guys and girls, new to this forum and like everyone else, I'll post
some pics of my car, enjoy!

As I'm on a business trip, I can't post a pic of my car with the service
booklet and stuff, but I'll start off with a pic of the keys (taken on the
day of deliver, in November of last year... I've had the car for just
over 7 months):

Here's my dealer fitting my license plates:

Engine shot:

A rear shot:

More pics (even some quicktime video clips) can be found in this
directory on my website for those who want to see some sprints
and stuff:
http://www.catgirlsparadise.com/images/r171/

I'll keep it at that for now, if anyone wants to see some other pics
of different parts of the car, feel free to ask. I just need to take
that pic of the manual or website logo printout in the engine bay

Peace!

P.S. Sorry for the large pics, I need to resize 'em... just never
find the time to do it, shame on me =\

Hello.

Welcomt to JW... and what a way to start. The SLK55 is such a gorgeous car.... and it isn't just for girls.

I'm sure TT has seen this on the streets somewhere

I'm gonna take a look at the videos.... thanks a lot for posting too :fadein:

{EDIT} I like the pic in front of the hotel with the 575. I remember TT spotting that at the same place a few months back 8)

Shinigami · 06-07-2005, 12:43 PM

The Hotel? Yes, the Lausanne Palace, took those pics in December.

Didn't know TT was from Lausanne as I only came to this place today for the first time (my day of work coming to an end here in Italy, so I thought I'd check this place out after I found some Top Gear vids in eMule with JW ads on it).

I'll make sure to post the necessary pics of my ownership papers in the drivers seat or whatever it is that will please you guys

Maybe if TT ever wants a ride in it, all he needs to do is send me an e-mail or PM (I guess he probably has access to my user profile and the e-mail address I registered into this place with

). Maybe he's even seen me cruise around the streets in the SLK, who knows.

Oh, and hope you guys enjoyed the (admittedly, low quality) quicktime vids. I have some other shots of my car (next to my GF's silver colored Smart Roadster), I'll try to upload them as soon as I can.

And I'll make some thumbnails this time (once again, sorry for the file size

ops: )

TT · 06-07-2005, 02:50 PM

Désolé, pas de custom shot :bah: je dois fermer...

Yes I live in Lausanne and I can't wait to spot your car on the road and add it to my website

I hope you can post the custom shot soon

And you bet I'd like to see your car in person!

adamwich · 06-07-2005, 02:50 PM

Welcome Shinri_Shiogami!

Indeed a very nice car you have got.. 8)

TT · 06-08-2005, 03:52 PM

Well, I just met Shin and I can assure the car is real

I could post the custom shot for him, but I don't want to step on his feet, I am sure it will come soon

for now he is out enjoying that sexy silver lady!

TT · 06-08-2005, 04:29 PM

While we wait for him to come back:

SEXY!!!

TT · 06-08-2005, 04:48 PM

Ok, custom shot on its way, and a couple more pics

antonioledesma · 06-08-2005, 04:52 PM

you couldn't wait for shin to post more pics, didn't you?

btw, very nice pics.
And how much time did you used for the pics? 1/30th? or you exposed by a whole second?

TT · 06-08-2005, 04:56 PM

It was between 1 and 1 and a half second, can't remember the F since I let it on auto mode. Obviously with a tripod

BTW, forgot the last one:

Shinigami · 06-08-2005, 05:07 PM

lol, the cars a bug killer... that's what highway driving does (and it's a pain to clean too from all the bugs).

Anyway, here's the custom shot with my car manual, keys and the engine bay:

And whilst we're on the subject of cars, in the link below, you can find some more pics of my ride next to my GF's Smart Roadster (I'll post a custom shot of that one too at a later time, too tired after my trip to go down the garage and pull her car out for a photo shoot):

And I used to have a Linarite blue Brabus modified SLK 230K. Alas, I sold it last year when I got my new car, so you'll just have to take my word for it... but you can find various misc pics of it in this directory on my website:
http://www.catgirlsparadise.com/images/slk

And some pics of it (and other "riced" cars) that I took in Geneva last summer during a Tuning show (the pics of my old SLK are numbers 50 to 53):

Sorry I don't really have time to make thumbnails of every single pic I'd like to show you, but I hope that it proves that I have a passion for cars and like to take photos of them

Well, peace to all, I must go get some sleep now :p
