seriously injured in car crash http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/north_yorkshire/5365676.stm
yeah, shame 'bout that. I heard that top gear may be stopping due to the crash :-X hope not, great show
Didnt see it but its great to here that he is on the mend and likely to make a full recovery... be able to see clarkson mock the midget once more!
Good news that he is up and about In case anyone is interested, Piston heads has set up a donation page to the air ambulance. Their forum hit 127 pages! of goodwill messages as of now and currently raised 75 grand for the air ambulance. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=141&t=309131 http://www.justgiving.com/PHRichardHammond http://www.petitiononline.com/tg100/petition.html
He is certainly a popular guy. Something just likeable about him. Top Gear certainly wouldn't have been the same if he'd lost his life.
I blame them teeth!!! i think the sun shone on his teeth and it acted like a prism causing the sun spot to burn a hole in the tyre causing it to burst... so basically... its his own fault.. he shouldnt smile so much!! I love the quote that he was said to be more worried about the ribbing he would get off clarkson and may than the accident itself, says it all about him really!
Anf what does he know, he buys a car that he has driven 3 times and never managed to do a round trip in yet!!! lol (Ford GT40)
