I see something written on the body of the SLK too.
Except the Rims, this also contributes to the fact of ruining a perfectly beautiful machine.

That is the 200 Kompressor rims, and what on earth have he written on it in tamil ?

Spotted a silver SLK 350 in Santhome yesterday night driven by one of the female artists of the kana kanum kalangal show in Vijay TV.

Great find Sivasankar, Love the 7. And the rims are my favourite on the 7, the 20' Y spokes. Love it !

OT - I think the 7 is SWB. Or is it just me ??

That is exactly what I was thinking when I went to bed, after posting that. What I actually wanted to say is that the owner seems to have a taste for 12 cylinder engines. The Phantom and BMW(v12) and the Audi and the Bentley(w12).
Was too lazy to get up and edit.

What the hell has that guy written on his SLK? Is it Arabic? Why would anyone wanna do that

Mission_Safari · 17th February 2010, 15:28

The writing on the SLK is one of the Thirukurals.

"Karka kasadara Katravai Katrapin
Nirka atharku thaga"

Meaning - Educate yourself well and then stand by what the education has taught to you.

jagxf · 17th February 2010, 15:28

Is that the SLK 200? They have the most bland looking wheels IMO.

Brand new Audi A6 2.7 TDI, spotted off ECR.

V6, Leather, alloys, looking great in the Chennai sun!

badboyscad · 17th February 2010, 18:48

Spotted this bmw e36(with //M badge) at meenambakam. It had a nice skirting kit and deep bassy exhaust note.

Ah, the Just delivered look, Love it !

Again, The A6 doesn't qualify as an import buddy. Hence, Make sure of that in future.

@ Scorcher - Pardon my lack of knowledge, but why doesn't the A6 qualify as an import?

I guess they are imported as CKD units to India.

aparth · 17th February 2010, 22:07

^ Oh right. I always thought that it was imported as a CBU. Thanks for the info!
