Jeremy Clarkson, no driving for 2 months!

[Daggernite]

Just read in todays "The Sun" newspaper, that JC 's doctors has told him to stop driving for 2 months due to a slipped disc in his back. But not to worrie, all this season's Topgear car features has been filmed, and he will be better when the time comes to start driving again.

Poor fella...the last few weeks haven't been too good for him. Firstly he returns his Ford Gt after a 2 year wait and a few increases of price and now this. Maybe it's because of the Porsche GT3, he claimed the ultra stiff suspension gave him back ache :P

Hope he heals quick and starts making a new DVD :D

hopefully its already mostly filmed, by september the weather is likely to be even more dodgy than now!! :P Get well soon Jeremy

So now we know the REAL reason for returning the GT - ;)

His old broken body cannot get in and out of the car :P

[Daggernite]

LOL he did his back in getting in and out of bed turning the alarm off.

Joking aside hope he gets well soon :)

Ugh slipped discs are very, very painful. I wish him a full and speedy recovery! But what's this I hear he returned the Ford GT? When did this happen?

[ARMAN]

Ouch... I hope we will get fit very very soon, I already have abscence on his vids :mrgreen:

@Caplax40 - you find it in Gen chat last post few days ago :wink:

Heh. Is the studio footage filmed also? If not he'll get it from Hammond and May.

AFAIK that is filmed the wednesday before the show airing

[Toronto]

^^^ wednesday? :( that wasn't a good day for england)
hope it doesn't effect the show that much.

Why did he return the Ford GT?

[RC45]

The alarm kept going off and the local service agents could not fix it.

[Trigun432]

What!? That's gotta suck. Having a job where the best part of it is driving and he can't do that. But I hope his back heals fast and he doesn't strain it anymore or he won't be able to drive during the next episode filmings.

Why didn't they just replace the whole alarm? For as much as he paid for it I don't see why the dealership just doesn't replace the whole alarm. Granted it would take time and labor but I'd pay to have them do it. But then again, I'm broke and looking for a job so I'd just put on 4 floor jacks, take off the tires and remove the battery until I got enough money to have it replaced.

:lol: Good one!

However, reading the title... I though it was something related with speed, police and driving licenses :wink:

Exactly what I thought. :lol:
