London, June 1 (IANS) English singer Jessie J has been gifted top-of-the-range Mercedes SLK by her record company, but she is not able to drive the 44,000-pound car.
The convertible was a thank-you gift from the record company for filling their coffers, reports thesun.co.uk.
The new luxury car is a huge change from the Ford Ka she drove before making it big.
‘I gave my Ka to my dad. I’ve now got a brand new Mercedes SLK, but the only thing is I can’t drive it. My Ka was like a go-kart, but with this I’m a mess. I don’t know how to use the radio. I try to indicate and I spray water at people and I’m not a fan of the heated seat because it feels like you’ve wet yourself,’ she said.
The singer has just announced her Britain tour that will kick off in Birmingham Oct 17.
