Default MTV Cribs, Ludacris drives the SLR

i just turned to some MTV Cribs Special Adventure program and Ludacris goes on vacation to South Africa where they show him romp the SLR by doing burnouts and such. He was like a little kid(as anyone here would be too ) I thought it was pretty sweet, the sound of it was amazing. Hopefully someone could cap it for everyone, not a very long clip only like a minute or so they showed of it.

It was probably the same SLR top gear tested. They both were in South Africa, and the area looked similar.

I read about this in the Dutch car magazine Autovisie. Ludacris was there with MTV when Ton Roks of Autovisie drove the SLR. He's the one doing the burnouts. He had never heard of Ludacris BTW and he also spelled it wrong, LOL. Anyway, Mercedes wasn't very happy with it, because it was done in some wildlife park and Mercedes had gotten into trouble with the park before through another journalist.

Looks like Ludacris has some problems getting into the SLR... Any way, the SLR is one of the finest cars in the world. And the sound from the engine at high revs! Moooowraaarrrooooo
