SL55 on Topgear next week Sunday!!!

(I actually had an email from topgear last week asking if I had or knew anyone with a SL 55 and if they could borrow it)

YEAH right!! see how they treated that bentley? oh Jeremy Clarkson said and I quote: ' If you want perfection, buy a Mercedes-Benz'
 
Seems odd that Tops Gear should ask, Clarkson owns one...

You'd have thought they would know that?!

I reckon they must have visited this site or similar because I got the email too...

&quot;Hello,

As I'm sure you couldn't have failed to notice Top Gear is back on Tv with
Jeremy Clarkson, and I wondered if you could help me. I am looking for a
SL55AMG preferably in Gun metal grey for some filming next Wednesday 20th
November at our location in Dunsfold, Surrey.

If you know of anyone with such a car, who would be willing to bring it down
to Top Gear and be part of the programme, it would be much appreciated.

I look forward to hearing from you soon,&quot;

I saw the Motorshow special show that the BBC did a few weeks back and they had an SL500 up against a TVR with Damon Hill driving. If any SL55AMG owner saw that I'd doubt they'd want to lend their shiny glory to the next programme. The presenter/passenger next to Damon actually puked half way through the drive because the car was being pushed to the limit. Ol' Damon looked quite shocked &quot;the first one that's ever done that&quot;, to be fair he had all 4 wheels off the ground <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

That show is still on my tivo, I intend to encode it for everyone to enjoy <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I will also encode the S600/Maybach stuff from Topgear last night (still on my tivo too - this is why I bought it <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> )
 
I agree , i would have to be in the passengers sear 100% of the time before they would get a look in at my SL55 .

For Mr clarkston to get 6.8 MPG out of the maybach he must have been flooring it all the way ...
 
if they are filming on the 20th... why not all of turn up to see it?
 
Yep, got that mail too.

I offered the use of my lawn mower, cause that is all they are capable of driving safely...

they didnt reply.
