Maybe I’ll do some features on what life is like in the back of a Rolls-Royce or a Maybach until the steroids have worked and I’m mended. Unless they don’t, in which case I’ll need an operation, and that could turn me into a drooling vegetable. In which case I’ll do some stories about wheelchairs and mashed food.

Trust him to turn it into a joke
Really do hope he gets better...slipped discs are painful as hell

That was funny and a good jab at the Socialist Worker Newspaper I mean Daily Mail...
This bit cracked me up:
Think of it as an Aussie from the outback. Maybe he can’t quote Shakespeare. Maybe he’s never heard of Terence Conran. But he can smash all the teeth clean out of your mouth with a single punch. That was the Monaro.

It’s been around for a while now, the Monaro, and nobody seems to have paid it much attention
|
Thats for sure.. sales have been horrible..
Is it possible though, did Jermey just say he liked a car from America? Gasp the sky is falling.

Very interesting to know that about the 6.0 GTO and the fuel tank over the axel. It seems the 5.7 is the GTO to get and will be such a bargain used! I am very seriously going to consider the 5.7 GTO in November both new/used.

Yes, the BMW is more of a quality product, but which would you rather have, a night out with a vicar or a few pints with your mates at the pub? When it comes to fun, the Monaro is truly wonderful, and it’s not bad at cruising either
|
and this is the whole point of the Monaro!!
On to his injury however I feel more sorry for his wife then for him I can just imagine JC to be the worst passenger on the planet, I hope he heals quick and dosn't develop those man boobs though it wouldn't be a good look

It is still from Australia, even though the new model is modified for the US. It is a very american kind of car though, so it is a very rare conclusion from Jeremy.
I love his humor and his way of formulating everything he says! Let's hope he'll be back in the drivers seat soon.
