me too

Loved this quote:

Hamster said:
"There's no fear because you have to reassure yourself before you do something that the machine is good, the place is right and you're not going to suddenly have a cow on the track or something.

and this:

Before he headed off for a much-needed nap, he had one final thing on his mind. Richard said: "Do you realise how annoyed I am that I've got no marks on me? Absolutely nothing at all, nothing for the pub.

"There are people who fall off their trikes at the age of four who've got better injuries than me. I've been through hell and I've got nothing to show for it except a chipped tooth! I'm gutted."

His only lasting injury is a chipped tooth......oh the irony

Interesting article though.

He has made an amazing recovery!

Does this mean TopGear should be returning soon then?

bbc bod said:
The BBC has confirmed Mr Hammond had signed a two-year contract before his accident.

A spokeswoman said: "The contract pre-dates the accident."

She said the corporation could not confirm the return of Top Gear or any other future projects until it had received an update on Hammond's progress.

just found another superb quote:

hamster said:
"Whilst I couldn't remember the day, my name or the doctor's name I could remember the specific capacity of a Pagani Zonda.

Some pretty funny remarks from Clarkson :cool:

Andr3w · 26 Oct 2006 at 16:32

He's completely fixed after his minor crash... the only thing that's really breaking his heart is he has chipped one of his whitened teeth

ahahaha

They start filming again in January by all accounts, but there's only studio sets to film, so i'd say end Jan beginning Feb hopefully
