It’s story time folks!!
‘Twas a cold but dry evening, I decide it’s the perfect time to chuck the roof down and cruise home, hearing the v6 noises bounce off the houses back to me or being carried off into the night, a familiar sight came racing up behind me, another slk, a car friend, or so I thought. The sack of potato’s that is behind the wheel decides he’s going to over take, and cuts me off forcing me to slam on, idiot . He speeds up slows down, speeds up slow down. Oh, he wants to race! I Look to the boot ( or trunk for everyone across the pond) and I see an amg badge, I see a slk 55 badge. ( I’ve played with a few 55’s, all have devoured me, still fun to play and try and keep up ) it has all the kit the 55 would have, only to realise there’s something missing… where is the grumble of the beautiful v8. He puts his foot down, I put my foot down, hmmm… why isn’t he gapping me? I start thinking somethings not quite right here, I’m only hearing 1 v6, and not much else.. So we end up on a mountain road and I decide to go for the overtake, fly by and keep on gapping him, he’s not keeping up. So I slow down, allow him to catch up, then floor it again, and again, he’s huffing and puffing but not keeping up. Eventually pulled over, turned my engine off just to try and hear him pass me… safe to say he was rocking the supercharged 1.8 which definitely took the fun out of beating him. He wasn’t happy either, with hand gestures and swearing as he was passing. Yeah, this riled me up, so I did it again, and again… and tried to it one last time but he got wise and pulled over further up the road, and by the way, all this fun took me about 20-30 minutes off course, a half hour journey took nearly two hours. Moral of the story is, don’t make you car look like something it’s not, then get salty when you’re beaten by something the real deal car would ruin. You may have the badges and the body kit, something else you also have? A lot of room in under the bonnet
