Hi All..
OK, so I have sold the Freelander and the W8 is going on eBay shortly.. So I have been tempted by something radically different as a new toy. I'm very much a 4wd fan, but I fancy something rear wheel drive for the sheer hell of it. That and I've never a tin-top, so I'm toying between these two convertibles...

Both can be had for similar money... but the SL55 would be a 02/03 and the SLK55 could be a 04/05 with half the mileage.
The SL is 500hp and the SLK is 360hp but notably lighter. The SL is 5 speed, the SLK is 7 speed. I think the SLK looks more modern, but the SL is actually more attractive.
I'm completely torn...
