2.he could've gotten a 430 with the combined price of the two.

The f430 costs from 120 grand, same as the Ford GT... Or about the same...

Like I mentionned, the Ford GT is faster than the F430... he he he....

Isn't it a tad unprofessionnal still going on about James' no-show at that event? Come on! It's been more than a week!

1.to date jeremey clarkson is the highest paid motoring reporter. some say that he makes 1,000,000 Sterling a year!!!!! but nobody knows for sure.

2.besides he drives lots of fast and expensive cars so the ferrari isn't so incredible to him. he wants to get only cars that he really falls in love with....

and by the way: Good job Jezza. enjoy it and stop being so nit-picky for once in your life....[/quote]

i was just wondering since he called the F430, and he M5 for that matter, the Greatest Cars that he has driven, EVAR.

he says that about many cars ....

not that many. he'll fall in love with a few. but he doesnt say that they are the best ever.

Renesis · October 2nd, 2005, 7:36 PM

I can't believe why he gets rubbish cars like that...

F430, DB9 anyone?

KryptonZone · October 2nd, 2005, 7:55 PM

Seen both the F430 and the DB9... man...! What good looking cars! Not to mention their brilliance! Click here

Still... The GT40 is not bad at all, not in the least... Okay apart from the rather poor fuel consumption and the broken alarm and the switched off tracking system and the non-working sat-nav... Still one of the great future classics!

the GT leaves me completely COLD.

The GT40 rocked, but the new GT? Nah.. footballer's dream..

BlaRo · October 2nd, 2005, 8:49 PM

Still better than an RX-8. Or any rotary-engined car. Or any Mazda. Or any Japanese car. By far. images/smilies/wink.gif

MercedesAMG · October 2nd, 2005, 8:51 PM

awesome.. i'm really happy jeremy went for another AMG.. awesome choice.. tho i dont think i would have gone back to that Ford GT.. but hey, whatever works for him, if its a car he's loved since he was little i can understand that

BerserkerCatSplat · October 2nd, 2005, 10:02 PM

Well, it's about time he came around. I'm sure that Ford lending him that DB9 had nothing to do with it. images/smilies/lol.gif

The SLK is a fine car, for sure! Not a bad choice, all things considered. The GT-R would have been a cool thing to have... but I can't really imagine Jeremy driving a Skyline on a regular basis. I'd take the Skyline over the SLK any day, but I'm not Jeremy Clarkson. Who knows, maybe when I'm retired, I'll buy a Mercedes.

DJ · October 2nd, 2005, 10:47 PM

SLK = SL for girls

What's next? Tigra? 206CC? images/smilies/thumbdown.gif

KryptonZone · October 2nd, 2005, 10:54 PM

Well its better than Skyline or S2000 ("What do you drive Monsieur Clarkson?" *cough* "Uh... Nissan/Honda")... Merc is a Merc... The name and the badge just commands a certain status... Unlike the very good cars made by the Japanese, just, its Japanese and their names have no history... no legacy like a Ferrari or Porsche or Mercedes would have... Pedigree images/smilies/wink.gif

SLK! Mmmm....
As much as I like the GT, Ford has a reputation of, well, screwing up. Mercedes, not there yet, but if they keep going at it, their quality in cars will reach Ford-status really soon.

wooflepoof · October 3rd, 2005, 6:21 AM

Keep in mind, he's "bored with ferrari" Besides, picture it. Clarkson in an F430. C'mon, theres gotta be something special about the GT because he's quite the nit picky so and so and he COULD'VE had an F430, he even said in the TG magazine once that he'd bought the wrong car w/ the GT. He admitted that the 430 was the better car. and yet he still chose the GT. It must strike quite the chord with him.

SL65 · October 3rd, 2005, 6:51 AM

I just got thinking...now I know why he was comparing the SLK350's interior to the SL's interior a few months back in his article. I recall him saying that it was better. So it seems he was planning this for months now. Its just so funny that he is sticking this in James face though images/smilies/lol.gif
