Why? He's why:

James May, my ferociously unreliable co-presenter on Top Gear, recently ordered a Porsche Boxster. This is the main reason, actually, why I wanted the 55. To annoy him by having a better, faster car.

:t-applaus
 
Great reasoning.... :icon_roll

At least he could've got it for the love of the car.

If i was May i would change my order and get a 911 C4. That would take the smile off Clarkson's face... :bangin:

First a ferrari 355 then a SL55 and now a ford Gt

..and then a SLK55. Sounds like he is making worse choices than before everytime he gets a new car.

Yeah, there were some romours about that. Eventhough he thought it was a fantastic car he still didn't like some aspect of the car such as the i-Drive and the design.

It wasnt a rumour


The M5, I think may very well be my next car. I absolutly love it.
 
I enjoy listening to Clarksons blabbing, but reading it is dreadful. Surpised the bloke went for such a feminine looking car.

No no, no BMW spammer here, as a matter of fact I use to be a HUGE BMW fan, that was until I drove the E90, it handled like a knife, but the interior/exterior design was just very heavy on UGLY, and just in gerneral the brand has lost a lot of it's appeal to me. So I lost all my love for BMW after that, but I've always been an MB fan at heart. Nothing personal :usa7uh:

Oow please, just start if you want, ( but its off topic here, create another topic :D ) That thing with japanese looking of the S... :t-banghea
You have no other car that has such class man.
And about that Clarkson buying an SLK 55.... The car is ok, but is that big guy gonna fit in it??? :t-rot: No really the inside is quite roomy of the SLK...
Good choise but clarkson could buy a better car, like the CLS. He aqually loves it, but he is doubting the quality of it...
