Lara’s newest four wheel toy. This thing has a wicked second side that just begs to
come out and play. Radar detector and sharp reflexes required.
A friendlier view.

The interior is a little less luxurious and a little more functional that my previous SLK. (The stock stereo went away shortly after this picture was taken. The detailed description of the install is here.)

The highlight is, of course, the engine. Not that you can see much. It’s damned tight in there.

There’s a plaque on the engine cover with the signature of the man who built this particular engine.

I believe it reads Florim Avdija. The second letter of the last name is hard to decipher.
