Default Jeremy Clarkson, no driving for 2 months!

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

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

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

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?

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

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.

Good one!

However, reading the title... I though it was something related with speed, police and driving licenses
Exactly what I thought.
