Think it's a little boring with the SL black when the CLK already has been on the show. Ken Block should be great. I remember a danish journalist going with him at Gumball once, that was a great story,

Another nice joke from Michael McIntyre about Clarkson. It's from the Big Fat Quiz Of The Year 2008. It's in the first minute of the video.

Those 3 set of tires you mean? images/smilies/biggrin.gif Because it's highly staged, and edited. A rally car has much better uses than showing off.

Seems like a good episode this week. So eager to see Ken Block in action. Bit meh about the SL Black but Michael McIntyre is good, very funny on Mock the Week.

He's a 40-something year old who co-founded a major shoe company (DC Shoes). He just started rallying a few years ago and he found that he enjoyed it. No one is claiming he's the greatest driver to drive on dirt.

If you don't like scripted and choreographed stunts that are edited to look good then why do you watch top gear?
