I found this on the Radio Times site:
Quote:
Motoring news and views. Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May confront the credit crunch head on as they attempt to find three sensibly priced small cars that won't make you miserable, a process that involves haranguing bankers, harnessing large dogs, and almost getting arrested. Plus, James meets American stunt driving legend Ken Block, Jeremy tests the mildly insane Mercedes SL Black on the track, and Michael McIntyre is the guest star in the Reasonably Priced Car.
From http://www.radiotimes.com/ListingsSe...s_fullpage.jsp
It looks like it will be another good episode

I'm going to guess that the SL is going to be between 1:19.5 and 1:20.5, as will the ZR1 later on in the series. I'm reallt looking foreward to see if the SL black is what the SLR should have been.

Specifically, a great bit of interaction where McIntyre mercilessly takes the piss out of Clarkson:
+ YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.


Annoyingly, if you search for "clarkson" and "mcintyre" on Youtube, you get a lot of clips of Kelly Clarkson duetting with Reba McIntyre.

I hope the SL review is a real review, not the kind of half-hearted film we saw with the Evora.

Ken Block should be good, decent driver but hopefully they don't blow smoke up his arse just because he made a couple of cool videos.

SL Black is a monster but don't think it will be too flash on the track. Might go close to the SLR though as 5 years is a long time in car development.
