Just got a call from the boy-child, who tells me that Richard Hammond was last seen bouncing down the runway at Elvington today after attempting some speed record or other. I can't find anything about it on the Beeb's website, so anyone know for sure? -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19

Apparently he was driving this: http://www.thule.co.uk/partners/blsr.asp And it rolled when the 'chute opened.

I have to say that the last couple of paragraphs look like a draft obituary. Hopefully he'll recover - the current set of TG presenters work well together.
All the reporting has a tone of 'he's a goner'. Packsman's just put on his serious face & the text reports seem to read like obits. I reckon he's a gonner or a potential cabbage. The current top gear format won't work without him. :-(

Just returned from local Tesco, where Hammond's book "What Not To Drive" was on the stand. It should have "Jet car" in it...
I look forward to the Top Gear Bloopers at Christmas. I like the little hamster man. He really was the people's princess.
