    Default Richard Hammond

    Hi Rowan,
    I heard about this last night, (20th Sept) He is now described as 'serious but stable'. He was at Elvington airfield near York about 20 or 30 miles from where I live in Yorkshire. Too many famous people getting killed & injured lately for comfort don't you think? Here's hoping he get well soon.
    Cheers mate, Sliver.
    live as long as you can & die when you can't help it.

    HI, Report on t.v. in uk this morning. (22nd Sept) said that Jeremy Clarkson was at the Hamster's bedside in Leeds hospital & is said to have jibed at Richard being a rubbish driver; They said a smile appeared on his face.....
    Although he is still a long way off recovery it fills you with hope doesn't it??????
    Cheers guys, Sliver.

    Thanks for the info Rowan. I was just talking to my neighbour yesterday about how casually they drive at speeds of 250 kph and more on that show. I guess the two recent deaths in Oz show that you really can't get away with much. I hope he recovers.

    I heard that he does have a "Brain Injury", but to what extent is not known. Either way, he wont be traveling at 300MPH for a long time, if ever.
    Great show though.

    G'day,

    SWMBO and I saw the news and as big fans of Top Gear hope the bloke pulls through, wouldn't be near the same without his beaut sence of humour on the show.
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    Good fun show , clever witty banter , nice cars , zero application of advanced driving techniques .

    Hope he recovers fully

    Dunno about that, I thought the sheila punting the transit van round Nurburgring past the bikes and Porsches was pretty advanced in her technique.

    I fell in love that night.
