    Default Temporary work car ... AMG SLK55....

    MY work has been running an in house promo for the past three months, and the winner nationally has their usual work car (VZ Wagon) replaced for a month with something a little faster, a little lower and a little louder!! A black AMG SLK55. I am a Holden boy to the bone, don't get me wrong, but this thing is AWESOME!! If it wiped your a**, it would do everything!!

    Attached are some pics.... I have it for another 2 1/2 weeks!!

    It is tough driving it around! People stare (probably cause I am driving with my right foot firmly planted!) and I am wondering if they think "what a w***er" or something else similar haha.

    Are you allowed to take it to a race track? Or even better just don't tell them.
