[GTaudiophile]

Yay! Good news!

 

[homestarmy]

I'm glad Hammond is OK.

And top gear dog is an ugly piece of crap. And useless. I wish he would have been in the car instead. It was funny for about 30 seconds.

I can't believe there are pussies at the BBC who want to end the show over this!

 

[0roo0roo]

Clarkson and the boys have been hinting about ending the series for a while due to lack of new ideas for stunts and challenges. After this accident, I wouldn't be surprised if this is their last season, regardless of Hammond's recovery.

Oh come on. They might not have any ideas, but I sure as hell do.

Video Update

Latest update from Jeremy's column:

IN the wee small hours of Thursday night, just 30 hours after what is almost certainly the world?s fastest ever car crash, Richard Hammond suddenly sat up in bed, opened his eyes and asked what had happened.

?You?ve been in a car accident,? I said. ?Was I driving like a tw*t?? he asked, before getting out of bed and walking, shakily, to the lavatory.

His wife, Mindy, couldn?t believe her eyes. None of us could. It really did seem that he?d had a look through death?s door and decided he didn?t like what he saw on the other side.

Later, he looked across at James May and said: ?Hello C**k face.?

Despite all the odds, it seemed we?d got our Hamster back . . .

I can *SEE* that. And I LOL'd at it.

 

[Horus]

Huzzah for the Hampster! "Hello, cockface". PRICELESS.

Top fuel dragsters have crashed going faster than that.

I want to see a balls-to-the-wall race between the rail system and something like an Aston Martin from the Top Gear track to Tokyo. And where you can't take a train, some local connecting flights or something.

I want Sabine Schmidt to take a Ford Transport back to the Nurburgring, only this time allow the Top Gear presenters to mod it a bit beforehand, that is, simple stuff they can do themselves like better tires, exhaust....

Their shop sequences are always fun

just heard about this, I'm glad he pulled through.

Totally. That was easily my favorite episode

 

[Dee67]

On top of everything sad about this - I just read today (late of course) that there's another host on Brainiac. That show can NOT be as great without him.

 

[misle]

Hammond is recovering very quickly, but BBC may cancel Top Gear....

They have already postponed the start of the next series...

Hello Cockface.

He could be dead. Well, if he is dead and you fancy a job on Top Gear, why not write to:
