I own this car, 2006 and every time I drive it is have the great feelings and joy it brings, I prefer it for a Ferrari. I am thinking to exchange it for sl63 but I am hesitating because of a slight pause in the first second the 63 has. For a supercar, you can never go wrong with the sl amg cars. And I am not I Benz fan for other models, but this car and the sls are different story and I owned many super cars. If this was by another maker, it would cost double at least
Does anybody know how many cars Jeremy has. All I know that he has a ford gt, Aston Martin v8 vantage, mb sl55 amg, slk55 amg, lambo gallardo spyder and a Volvo xc90.
he sold his gt cause it always broke, he replaced it with a lambo gallardo, then sold it to buy this sl 55. not sure about other cars. well he is an old bloke and probably done with crazy supercars.
i think he just wants a more practical everyday car. gallardo is a car for special occasions. he said people spit in his car if he drives anything flashy
@entybenty A manual transmission is an archaism today. Have you ever tried that modern automatic gearboxes that used in AMG? You just can't do shiftings better with a manual gearbox. I know what I'm talking about because a friend of mine has a C63 AMG and it's just astonishing
The same thing with a Ferrari, Lambo and other modern supercars
@bonskiiTV it is faster , but the feeling of changing gears yourself . feeling part of the machine ...that cant be replaced by any automatic gearbox. At least that's my opinion , i guess it is a matter of taste .
@IndyenRtist He probably doesn't make that much, seeing as he works for the BBC, but his parents own/owned Paddington Bears. I'd assume that's where his millions come from.
@IndyenRtist he sold his ford gt because it kept breaking down, bought it again, the same thing happened, so he sold it again, and bought a lamborghini gallardo spyder
you do realize that be saying "that car is the shit," he is actually saying the equivalent of "that car is really awesome!" I know, modern vernacular English is strange, but that's how it is. He was complimenting it.
yeha the 355 may have been better but like he said he wanted a more relaxed car and he couldnt get that in a ferarri 355 so he went 4 the sl which is a good choice.
there is an identical video where he track 5 is not coldplays tune, but some classical piece. thats weird.

doesnt make sense to me why he sold the gallardo spyder to get a sl55. is it because it is more practical?

We're to assume he sold the Ferrari because he didn't use it and it was extrememly impractical. So I guess it was like a trade in.
I'd take this over the 355 every time.
