Aren't they though? The SLK had 17" rims and big puffy tyres and the ride was frankly horrific! I had prepared Mrs Bum for worse to come with this, but hell, it's a proper sportscar right?

Not a bit of it! It glides over potholes where the Merc crashed and crunched.

Oh, and there was a wierd booming noise from the rear that was deeply unpleasant. I googled it and found it's a common issue to do with bootlid closure, so I got creative and made a permanant fix with some ingenuity and the lathe. I put my "fix" on egay earlier, two sets sold already!
