I might have a buyer for my Boxster so that's will free up a few grand to put towards another car. Now the XK still has an attraction and theres a cpl on Autotrader around the 13/14/15K price. But what alternatives are there, smaller/ragtops. I don't like Beemers, want something that's quick and loud, and no , I don't want a TVR again. Kinda stuck really. Thought about a classic perhaps, I've got 15k ish.............

SLK55 AMG?

We had a 2002 SLK 320 in Floriduh. Went like stink, was very girly and the exhaust note was very muted and that's put a bit of a downer on the merc for me although.....the 55 is bigger and more "butch"!

55 is MUCH louder than the 6cyl 320, even more so with the X pipe removed I think? I get the 'girly' image though.

SL55 AMG - how brave are you?!

Brave............for fun I go for a blast on my FJR with uprated pipes its good for around 155 bhp, and that scares the sh*t out of me! (And I'm 60 next month)!
