Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Clarkson wasn't in the passenger seat by any chance was he?

I really feel for the bloke, but it has to be said, it was bound to happen sooner or later. He was lucky to get away with just whiplash when he turned that van over in the last series; when it comes down to it, they're journalists, not professional drivers (apart from presumably The Stig).

I'm not saying he deserved it by any stretch. Get well Hamster.

My thoughts exactly...

Glad he didn't turn out to be the next croc hunter....

He's also the Brainiac Guy, and I was just wondering the other day in which programme it would go wrong. Seems it's Top Gear...

Sincerely hoping he recovers tho.... very nice feller...

Ouch :(

But, as Mark said, he's no pro driver, thus such things are possible. I remember a bit from Clarkson's book where he said he didn't want to overdo things as he knew his capabilities were only limited. Seemed they were busy forgetting this for a while.

Hope he'll come through!

I do actually find this quite sad, being an avid Top Gear watcher :cry:

I heard on the news this morning that a doctor said that he should make a "good recovery" - not a full one then? :(

It's an ill wind...

Hamster's family asked that rather than sending flowers or cards, wellwishers should donate to Yorkshire Air Ambulance, which was probably instrumental in saving his life.

They have raised £160,000+ so far. :notworthy:

Boy, That´s sad news! Best wishes to him..
As mark said, it had to happen some day. :|
Maybe they should abandon Top Gear and start a top cooking show, tose loonys would still make it something special. (On a second thought: They´d still make potentialy harmfull, I guess. They may as well just sit in the cars, drive them and tell about it.)
By the way: The Stig..

Now that you mention it.
I was rather thinking of things like "The Fugu Challenge" or "How to recognize mushrooms". :wink:
But accidental infernos could be part of that, too.
