TopGear presenter Richard hammond is in a stable condition after crashing a jet powered car at 300mph while trying to beat the British land speed record, during filming for the new TG series. For those of you who don't know TOPGEAR, it's a show about cars which is presented by three lovable petrol heads who always look like they're having a blast. Hope the guy pulls through.

Hear, Hear.
Although I have no love for cars, Top Gear is always an enjoyable hours worth of telly, and its the personalities of Clarkson, May and especially the hamster that make it so enjoyable.
Quick recovery mate.

Yeah, I heard about this. So does that mean no more Braniac aswell by the Hammond Miester?
I always liked the Top gear challenges and Clarkson always getting pissed off and bending the rules. Like when they had to change the van door and Clarkson just taped it on. Oh and that same episode had me laughing for ages when Hammond was in his van and had to take the hairpin "this calls for the old Scandanavian flick" BAMN rolls the van

Everything, he's a cunt.
I think this is the time to say i have nothing against Hammond, he's a nice, harmless TV presenter but Clarkson makes me want to commit murder.

Never thought i'd see the day that a TV presenter could envoke such passion and fury. In the grand scheme of things, is he really that bad? I mean, he's not Anne Coulter!!!!

He is. He makes Richard Littlejohn seem thoughtful and rational.

Oh come on now, Littlejohn is one step below Gary Bushell in utter loathsomeness. Clarkson may be up his own arse, be he isn't that class of cunt! Anyway, this isn't about Clarkson, it's about the little funny chap who works with him, who doesn't seem to have a malicious bone in his body.

Nor very many intact ones either if reports are to be believed.

I hope he doesn't become another celebrity who "died doing what he loved". I hope he has a speedy recovery.
