Twitter rant as Jeremy Clarkson's Mercedes breaks down
Jeremy Clarkson's Mercedes' flat battery meant a long wait for help and an amusing Twitter rant
Jeremy Clarkson took to Twitter last night to express his frustration when his Mercedes CLK 63 AMG Black Series refused to start.
The episode turned into a saga when the breakdown truck took hours to arrive, so Clarkson went off on a rant claiming he was a pregnant women, that the child was born headless... you get the drift.
We're not sure where this took place, but it happened to his own personal Mercedes (identical to the one above) after a day spent testing the new Mercedes A-Class.
However, when he came to set out in his CLK, he discovered the battery was flat - so flat, there wasn't even enough power to trigger the central locking, leaving him stranded outside the car.
His quick Tweet regaling his tale soon went viral and spurned more hyperbole from the star... this is what he said:

He should have been even more funny and politically incorrect and said he was a crippled, black, homosexual Muslim on his way to hospital for an urgent sex change on the NHS! lol

Clarkson is a rare diamond on the PC, socialist and anti British, slag heap of the BBC.
They only tolerate him for the vast wealth he brings them!

Come on guys, stick to the point. If Mercs aren't all they are cracked up to be, then we all need to know. This is on top of the BMW scandal of insecure locking systems. It seems that German engineering is going down the pan, so watch out all you wannabe Porsche, Audi, and VW owners cos you'll probably be next.

Jeremy is not vain as Simon Cowel. Who the hell wants piano keys for teeth? At least Jeremy Clarkson has a brain and a sense of humor. He can be forgiven for not owning a tooth brush.

A mate of mine was returning home from manchester in his aging fiesta when he braked sharply and the Mercedes behind wrote his fiesta off. My mate waited 3 hours for a breakdown truck to take his car and him to the nearest garage He then had to find a taxi who was prepared to travel outside their area most wanted £100 to do the 14 mile trip one agreed to do it for £30.00 He arrived home 6 hours after the crash
while the guy in the Mercedes had a breakdown truck turn up with a replacement hired Mercedes on the back of it within 20 minutes
(Who said people with money do not get preferential treatment ?)

Jezza, you're the best!

Nothing wrong with mercs,same as any car with alarm system,clock ect when left for 7/8 weeks a battery is a battery whether its in a merc,a roller or a ford 100E,if left connected it will go flat,one would think the dipstick who spends his life around motors would have figured that out by now,they are not magic,just lead and sulphuric acid

There doesn't seem to be any real point to Twitter. You can't really express in so few characters how you feel without it being misconstrued by all and sundry. I much prefer blogs, as they are better able to express your feelings, and there is usually more room for putting your point across. I recently closed my Twitter account even though I had several thousand 'followers', because I felt there wasn't that much genuine interaction, and I much prefer the Blog/website format. And no I shan't be publishing my blog address, I'm not that mercenary.
