Default Top Gear episode with SLK350?

I'm looking for the top gear episode where they test the SLK350 with the likes of the Z4, 350roadster and a few other cars.

Can't seem to find it though. Anyone have a link where I can watch it or possibly download it.

Just watched it and not sure it's the episode I was looking for. Was there ever a top gear episode where the stig drives it around their track?

Yeah, I'm pretty much talking to myself here. Too bad the MB forums get no traffic.

I have it... but it's really just a quick drive against the Porsche Boxster.

Top Gear episode which aired on 12/12/2004.

If you're interested in a decent review, check out the Fifth Gear version.

There's a competition between the Boxster S and the SLK55 AMG in a course with a bunch of snipers, but that's not the SLK350. He really likes the SLK55 in that one...

The Fifth Gear comparison with the SL55 is TERRRRIBLE.

Thanks. It turns out I've seen all the SLK vids from top gear and 5th gear. I wish Tiff or clarkson would give a review on the car though.

The comparison I was referring to seems to be just an article in top gear magazine and not from the actual TV show. http://www.benzworld.org/forums/r171...light=top+gear

Nope. I know what I saw. Top Gear has two SLK segments. The segment that aired first has the SLK350 vs. Porsche Boxster. The Stig drove both cars on the TG track. The second segment was the SLK55 vs. Boxster S in the sniper challenge.

The 12/12/2004 video is the SLK350 vs. Boxster. The SLK350 has a blue interior and is 4 seconds slower on the track than the Boxster. James May and Richard Hammond bicker over both cars. James likes the Porsche, Richard likes the Merc.

I remember seeing that one, there's a website out there that has all the top gear episodes, can't recall the name of the site. If anyone has it, please post.

Finalgear is a torrent site, there's another site for direct downloads, I'll try to find it when I have more time.

That's not the one but SLK with SLR engine is pure madness.
