I've had mine for eleven years. I still take it out at 3am in the summer, just to experience the top-down drive with minimal traffic.Great to observe meteor showers! Daily driver, don't care about the 13mpg... Cheers from London.
@@TheWastedDriver Actually, over the eleven years as a daily driver (and not garaged) it has gone from The Ratmobile to the Tatmobile. Part of me appreciates the fact that I don't have to worry about it much - I park it anywhere that's convenient and don't fret about supermarket trolleys and 'door dings'. However, I have been considering a change and a major contender has been a V8 Jaguar F-Type, but the boot space on those is ridiculous and they are substantially bigger cars externally, which is not best suited to London on a daily basis. So, I'm currently keeping my eyes open for another 171/55, with fewer miles and generally more tidy. My dream would be to find a Kleemann S8, but even a good example with headers and a re-map would grab my attention... I enjoyed your vid, by the way. I don't often get to hear the sound as a spectator outside of the car! Cheers!
Great photography during this video. Glad you liked the car. I’ve owned my SLK 55 AMG for 5 years and love its unique blend of performance and refinement. The engine sound is truly amazing.
Thank you for the kind words and I'm really happy you like the photography of the video. You make a great choice 5 years ago buddy, that's a great car that transmits amazing sensations in all the conditions. Ps: I agree, the V8 sing amazingly 🤙🏻
Ich habe Ihr Video durch Zufall entdeckt, wirklich Klasse. Ich fahre einen SLK 55 AMG von 05/2010, also einen der Letzten, seinerzeit als Jahreswagen erworben, ein absolutes Traumauto. Außer Inspektion und Reifen nichts an außergewöhnlichen Kosten! Gruß aus Deutschland, und allzeit gute Fahrt !
Thanks for the message man 🤙🏻 Happy you like the video and surely you make a great choice on buying this beauty. Didn't know was also super reliable, but honestly i'm not surprised Enjoy your beautiful drive!
I love mine NZ new, not new to me btw, so quite a different spec from yours and RHD. Still that engine really purrs, a true classic in my opinion. I think often over looked compared to a BMW Z4, both great cars. I have a Z4M too, and I find them both rewarding . One is a high revving all out manual experience, while the 55 is a torque monster, on a long cruise I would choose the 55 all day, I just wish that these cars had been adorned with better interiors. Thanks for sharing you experience with you car, so many cheap SLK's, but the 55 is the one to get if you can. Great video btw, thanks.
Thanks for the kind words 🙏🏻 I tested also a Z4 (the 2.8) and i agree with you, on a long cruise i will choose hands down the 55 It's a pleasure to drive!

I'm sure you will keep it for eleven more!
It's an awesome machine and i'm sure that driving it under the London sky, it's an unique experience

Nice video and nice hair.
I'm happy you liked both 🤙🏻
Totally!! I am really between this baby and the 6th gen Camaro. V8 masterpiece
Ohhhhh also the Camaro is a beauty!
I hope to have the possibility to test one in the future 🤙🏻
This is one of my favourite cars. Finally got mine last month. I don’t think mine sounds like yours. Is that its stock exhaust?
You will surely enjoy your new/old car 🤙🏻
Yes, this one is completely stock
Get the supersprint x-pipe. Best mod.
@robgates4217 i will let the owner know 🤙🏻
perchè parli in inglese?

You are the main reason why the AMG 55slk will no longer be referred to as the "hair dressers car" only hairy with tattoos 😂
It would be an honor to even be considered, when referring to SLK 55 😁
Thanks for the message buddy 🤙🏻
@@TheWastedDriver on day you in your black and me in my silver
Just play the exhaust noise and stop talking
I'm sorry you couldn't masturbate because of my voice.
