Clarkson just bought an SLK 55 AMG

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.

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

..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.

I enjoy listening to Clarksons blabbing, but reading it is dreadful. Surpised the bloke went for such a feminine looking car.
