Default Jeremy Clarkson

I know he won't be on here but what the hell.

Seen driving through Bramley (near Guildford) this afternoon in the white GT40 with the manx numberplate. Following a McLaren SLR Mercedes. Don't know who was in the SLR, but couldn't fail to notice the curly haired lump in the GT40.

Obviously been filming today (thought it was Tuesdays they did that) at allfold.

Specifically I think he loved the car but hated the oversensitive immobiliser which meant he only got to drive it twice.

aah that was it, it wasnt the car itself actually i just remembered, thanks for reminding. It was something to do with having the car sent back again and again due to immobilizer problems

He did say the other day on TopGear that he hadn't managed a full 'there and back' journey in it without it breaking down, sounds like a waste of £100,000 plus to me.

He can afford it. I was speaking to a PR person a few days ago who's promoting a hotel in his home town. They're doing a chain of them and want a local celeb from each to do the opening and for this one they tried him. His agent asked for £60k for a 2 hour appearance, and a further £5k for him to have a PA to answer his telephone whilst he was speaking

I would say that you are spot on with that Moley. Clarkson must have a stunt double or something.

Dyney, that garage in Bramley is awsome. Always worth a peek in as you drive past dribbling.
