Wow - the Hamster is proving to be quite the attention whore.. ;) :P

[Mattk]

^Well, no, I think he just wants all his efforts to be displayed. :wink:

[DeMoN]

They should patch him up and have the show b aired Oct 8. We wont survive with new 5th gear lol.

[yg60m]

Nice to hear that, finally the dragster toy was maybe a good idea :wink:

[martin100]

LOL he is even ready to appear on the show from the hospital! Great news that he recovers so fast! Hope the show will be back soon.

[5vz-fe]

Yep, tho Clarkson always bully Hammond with his big fat body........the 3 host are a good combination for Topgear. Glad he recoveres so quickly.

[TNT]

well they just need to move the show from England and head to Ireland or the Isle of Mann. :D then make their own channel with car reviews and tech along side with the show it self.

I am glad to see Hamster is doing well and recovering quickly. the BBC will making the dumbest choice if they cancel Topgear its a world watched show. with great ratings. they would regret that if they did and i am sure someone else would pick them up and keep the show alive.

[saadie]

well since there were no fatalities or very major injuries ... its fine to show it ...
like they said ... Hammond was talking to the people who were getting him out of the car ... sooo its ok .. imo

[TNT]

^^^ he did have some brain injury though, that is pretty major.

[TopGearNL]

Well if thats what he wants the BBC should really respect that, but I fear that he hasn't got the last word :roll:

[coloradosilver]

Go Hamster!

It's nice to see that kind of dedication, even with the injuries. It says alot about him. Hopefully with allof the emails and the outcry of all the fans, it will help to keep the show on the air as it should be.

[blinkmeat]

maybe he should just try again :wink:

[Everlasting]

i know if i survived a 280mph crash i'd milk it for all it's worth

[Mattk]

maybe he should just try again

I don't think most rational people would do that. I'm sure there's some sort of psychological response from the brain saying: "Remember the last time you tried that?".

[TNT]

why is it that the hamster is always the one to do the stupid stunts?

[Mattk]

Because he's crazy. He hosts a show called Brainiac, which specialises in stupid stunts.

Because he's crazy. He hosts a show called Brainiac, which specialises in stupid stunts.

you see, if Braniac had the funding of TG.... then perhaps they would make a homemade rocket powered car to go 280...

or make some crude Tesla Turbine's from a few old turbochargers, and go some speed :P

All in the name of science :wink:

[Jabba]

That means that Jabba's idea to give him a dragster scale model wasn't that bad afterall :P :D

I dont like to say to everyone, that I told you so, but...... :P

[racer_f50]

That's really awesome that he's recovering well enough to fight for Top Gear :D
That would really be incredible if they showed the crash, especially if we would be able to have Richard talk about it, like what he was thinking during it (or if he even remembers that). The fact that he's willing to broadcast from his hospital bed if it saves Top Gear is a true testimate to how great that show is 8)

[Jabba]

Yeh, I saw it, and it was crap :wink:

[chest3r]

This will have a lot of audience. What will the 5th Gear guys try to do to beat this feature
???



joking ! :lol: :mrgreen:

[Jabba]

dunno, dan sent me it, and I thought it would make a good avatar.

[Mattk]

^He looks like one of my supervisors.

[cooperluke]

Let's see if they show the video.... :D
