Default Jeremy eats hair / a dog

Hi!

In one of the episodes Jeremy has to eat an omlet with his hair. The reason - Vauxhall made an Astra looking like the one on the picture. Ok. If I look backwards in time - I find Jeremy saying someting different than eating his hair. I think he mentioned something about eating Vauxhall Executive Manager's dog. Correct me if I'm wrong.

References -
2x04 [08:35] Jeremy says he will eat a dog.
2x10 [11:55] Hammond reminds that Clarkson said he will eat his hair.

and sometime later 5x01 [23:00]- Clarkson is eating his hair. He should be eating a dog !!


Sorry if that was discussed before, but I just couldn't find it images/smilies/wink.gif

What exactly do you plan to discuss here? Why he didn't eat the dog? images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Well i don't know the exact episode but Jeremy did indeed say "If that car comes out looking anything like that, I'll eat my own hair". And BTW we didn't get that model (3 doors), does it actually look like that? cause all we got here was the 5 door.

Strikes me as JC was owned if eventually that car never even made it out.

The 3 door does look like that. And the dog bit i think was with the Range Rover. If they can run it for 6 months straight without breaking, he'll shoot the manager's dog. But since only the steering wheel vertical adjustment lever broke, all they did was cut "down" his bonsai tree. hehe

I think it was the boss of Land Rover's dog; if the one they lent to TG went wrong whilst on long term test.

Dogs were mentioned a couple of times. First for Range Rover reliability in 6 months period & second in ep. 2x04 news segment, bit about the new Astra. JC says that he asked a desighner from Vauxhall if the new Astra will look as good as on picture & desighner said that it will, apart from the back & if it doesn't, JC can eat his dog.

This type of thing is better said in the "Random Thoughts" thread in the OT section of the forum. Posting it here will just make people look at you funny.

By the way, JC also said that if Ford won't mend his GT, he would come round and bone his (the garage owners?) dog. He didn't do that either, although his GT carried on being "american". images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

From 2x04
Richard Hammon: "It's really sad that it won't look anything like that."
Jeremy Clarkson: "I thought of that so I rang Vauxhall and I said 'Look, is it really gonna look like that?' he said 'Yes' 'If it doesn't, can I eat your dog?' and he said 'Yeah, okay, you can eat my dog.' I promise you the three door astra, apart from the back end that will be a little bit different, will look like that."

Please, the immobilizer was put in in England. I love America bashing as much as the next guy, but let's keep it realistic.

Recently Jeremy said (if something...) ...he will cut his leg off and beat himself to death with it.

I think he was talking about the new Jag or Aston.

Will he try to eat his hair instead again?
