September 21, 200619 yr One of my favourite motoring Journalist's injured doing what he loved. Get well soon Hamster!! Edited September 21, 200619 yr by Telecat
September 21, 200619 yr well said, hope all goes well and he`s back with his light hearted fun journalism soon Get well soon
September 21, 200619 yr Yup - Top Gear won't be the same without the shiny white grin....we need him back on there quick smart!
September 21, 200619 yr An online fundraiser has been started in aid of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance who took Richard to hospital. A very worthy cause.
September 21, 200619 yr Agree, show wouldn't be the same without him. He's in the best hospital on the planet, that's from experience. We lost a couple of kids (Mrs S has a few problems carrying sprogs) just after we got wed but I got posted to North Yorks and Mrs Slapshot got pregnant again (much to my concern....her health was at risk). She ended up in the same hospital as Hamster, I now have a 13 year old female brat despite the fact she weighed only 1lb 14oz when she was born (880 gms for the Kilo brigade) 15 weeks premature.... Hamster is in the best hospital there is with the best Medics and researchers anywhere. Get well soon Richard The guy is a biker as well..... Edited September 21, 200619 yr by Slapshot 3
September 22, 200619 yr I see that top gear have already replaced Richard Hammond with Lily Savage. Evidently a better drag act. Jokes aside it sounds like he has a good chance of a full recovery, which is good news.
September 22, 200619 yr Oh for gawds sakes: "An HSE spokesperson said on Friday its officers were focusing on the events that led-up to the incident - the planning for the dragster dash, the risk assessment undertaken and whether Hammond received any special training with jet-powered cars. " Yeah right, theres a place at the bottom of Hammonds road that offers training in jet powered cars. Political Correctness is getting stupid. Nonetheless, get well soon hamster. Not many people have crashed at 300mph and lived.
