    Meeting Clarkson

    Jezza visited us on Wednesday, naturally I wanted him to plant his autograph on something special!

      It's a place called Tedworth House, an education and rehabilitation centre for injured service personel that we're building for a charity called 'Help for Heroes'. Jezza is one of the charities' patrons.

          I had to educate him about the S2! He remembered the RS2 but not the original 'S' car but did seem genuinely interested. I even mentioned the forum to him...!

            Superb stuff, just so long as he doesn't buy three and rag them to death around some welsh wood in the name of entertainment.... You say you told him about this forum too... So he could read my post...

            I've given him an idea haven't I?

              I was going to meet him, out at the salt flats a few years back, I printed this to have him sign...



              I had a job interview so I missed out, a few of my mates went and got to meet him...

                Ha, no way! If only I knew about that..! I would say he must have a short memory but it was over twenty years ago!

                      Agree

                      If you have not done so have a read of his books. funny as f**k

                      He is a decent, brutally honest fellow who speaks for many of the ilk on this forum and other forums alike.

                      A patron for a very worthy charity or two.

                      I know he can be abrasive but so can a few of the very knowledgeable people on hear

                      Well done Rusty

                        I have to say he was brilliant. We have a lot of so called 'celebs' that visit our site and he, so far, has been the only one that put his PPE on and had a good look around the site and never once refused a photo or a chat with the lads (unlike Ray Winstone who just sat in the smoking shelter smoking fags until it was time to leave!). In fact my boss didn't like him before he met him and now has the utmost respect for him. He was like the pied piper mind, the whole site stopped work and followed him around! That means he owes me an hours wages for 80 men!!
