Quick question. Does the clk63 amg black have a diff made of lead and granite as a mate of mine said? His evidence is top gear and clarkson. I say no?

[P I Staker]

I have heard granite makes a strong ring gear.

[heners54]

It was a clarksonism, he meant it was heavy duty compared to the standard AMG.
If this is a troll then yes I was stupid enough to answer

[ging84]

i wish i could believe this was a troll over being able to believe there are people out there who believe even a single word clarkson said should be taken literally, but i know it's probably not the case

Ask your mate if he think clarkson really has never in his live used his brakes on the motorway

If the op's friend was being serious then he's really stupid.
If the op is being serious then he's really stupid.
Either way there's some really stupid going on somewhere.

If I were the op I'd delete this thread before it gets quoted & it's too late.

Yet by making stupid inane stage managed comments, he makes a sackload of cash for both himself and the BBC.

Anyone not a tad jealous I wonder?

Good on him I say.

Well, someone needs to keep this one..

Surely the granite must be alloyed with something though as it's really brittle - something like floor tile given how hard the buggers are to dig up.

That's why the lead's needed, it's soft so it makes up for the granite's brittleness.

Yeah.

Next week:

"My mate said he is hard as nails, but I don't think he could get hammered into a plank of wood. What do you think?"
