Richard Hammond =|

OMG how bad is that about richard hammond?? i mean like all his experience and that and not he has like suffered just like the croc hunter... but not as bad, i mean him and Geremey Clarkson made Top Gear what it is today!!! well disapointed like seriously!!


HUGE top gear fan here!!! and am going to miss it!!

our thoughts go out to the family and best wishes to Mr Hammond and hoping for a full speedy recovery

Top Gear star Richard Hammond got to his feet and walked, just 30 hours after his high-speed crash. The 36-year-old is in a stable condition at Leeds General Infirmary where friends and family have been keeping a bedside vigil following Wednesday's accident at Elvington airfield, near York.

Clarkson, Hammond's co-presenter of the motoring show, said: "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."
Clarkson, who told him he had been in a car accident, said that Hammond then got out of bed and walked shakily to the lavatory.

The presenter was seriously injured when the jet-powered car he had been driving at speeds up to 300mph crashed.

That and Top Gear oh my goodness i watched that overly too much!! but the cars in it were soooo lush and they always dissed the yanks!! like we all do and bill byrson!!

I REALLY DO hope that brave man makes a full recovery it would be a mirical if can go back to what he does with, i dont know if its confirmed yet, brain damage... it would be good to see him back!!

and yes... brainiac wouldnt be the same wityhout him either, dont think John Tickle could cope... mind you he is doing well after his big brother experience!!

“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 . . .

Same cut as admin i think, but the last couple of lines just sum what a joker he was.

Defo agree with everyone else i love top gear and hope it continues even though it wont be the same without hammond if he cant go back.

I also loved the show thing that he had it was a well funny.

Oh and the whole teeth whitening thing aswell!

LOL very true about the teeth whitening thing!! it was so funny!!

it would be a shame to see him go if he does!!

wouldnt be the same, without the lil guy!!

A lot of commentators have slammed BBC's Top Gear in the past week since Richard Hammond's crash, saying the show encourages dangerous driving. There are rumours that the BBC may even axe the show.

We want to know what you think

they cant stop the show!! end of!!

It would be wrong to stop the show. Only idiots who were impressionable and irresponsible would try and drive like that in an environment when it would put other people in danger. We know it's just a television show! And I'm sure anyone else who watches it knows that too, there would be no reason to axe it just because they believe it to be encouraging people to drive like lunatics.
Do they think the majority of the British popluation are insane or something?
Silly people...

Link you would be suprised!! get on the road and you will know what im talking about!! The people on the show are very good drvers and even encourage to drive safely, they justalso outline how good cars can be at their performance when racing!! and thats round an approved track!!

As long as we dont see any examples from you when you start driving Sgt P.

Yeah Sgt P no silly driving from you!

excuse me!! i will drive safe thank you!!

The BBC may screen the crash which nearly killed Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond. Bosses plan to make a special programme about the accident if Hammond agrees.

No-one has asked Richard while he is still in hospital. Everyone is keen to make sure he doesn't feel pressured into anything. But those who know him well believe he will be happy to do it.

The aim is not to be gruesome but to show all the preparations. Then we'll look at what went wrong and perhaps learn lessons. Hammond was driving a jet-powered dragster car when it crashed at speeds of up to 300mph at Elvington airfield, near York. The stunt was being filmed for a new series of the BBC1 show. The 36-year-old presenter suffered brain injuries and is recovering in hospital. Doctors say it will be six months before he is "back to his old self".

News paper sed he is drivin agen wooohooooooo tht means more top gear finally
