Heard reports all day on the radio. Sounds like he is on the improve which is good. Its extra crap as the accident supposedly happened on the final "extra footage" run, not a top speed run. The next season of Top Gear is schedualed for next month... hopefully BBC won't cancel it.

C'mon Hamster! Get well soon

saw an article on news.com was a video from sky news and it mentioned that they think it was a burst tyre that may have caused the accident but investigations are continuing

Good to hear he's now stable, hope he's able to make a full recovery

Apparently BBC are now under pressure to can top gear all together! due to their promotion of speed and taking risks whilst driving

I heard about this from my gf the day it happened, and I didn't quite beleive it.

I know they can strap a car on an empty airfield, and pilot a boat-car... and run a rally 4wd through some snow... stuff like that... but I really couldn't beleive that the shows producers would allow him to drive a land-speed record car at those kinds of speeds.

Great for the show, and i'm sure lots of people would love to do it, but I really didn't think that he would be allowed in any shape or form to take such big risks.

Poor guy. I've been hanging for season 9 to start airing. =-[

Hamster's first words at finding out he'd been in a car crash.

Was I driving like a twat?

And then he insulted Captain Slow.

The man is a f**king champion. If he ever comes to Australia, he deserves a beer.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅

      Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
