[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/north\_yorkshire/5365676.stm](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/north_yorkshire/5365676.stm) Hopefully a speedy recovery for Richard Hammond. (Feel free to move this to entertainment, but felt it had some automotive value). EDIT: [http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006400691,00.html](http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006400691,00.html) The sun reports he was going 280mph when he crashed. ☹ ---

This is terrible news. I like him and wish him well. “He has turned Top Gear into a gang show with Jeremy and James and the three of them have wowed audiences all over the world and he is an international personality.” agreed. I want top gear seasons to be on dvds. ---
