Sad Day For Top Gear Lovers.....hamster In Seriously Accident....

[krzysiu]

Poor guy

He was my favourite on top gear with the "Teeth Whitening" and all the jokes they pulled with that. + all the argument with Jeremy. Top Guy

Get well Hamster

[Kennedy]

He has now been upgraded to "stable". Things are looking positive

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

[Eug]

this was what he was driving

poor guy.. hope he pulls through!

[Hungryhippo]

latest news said he has a significant brain injury but they think he will recover

[mcnamg]

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

[GT-R32]

Terrible! Hope he pulls through with brain (somewhat) intact.

[Whiplash]

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. =-[

[Freddy Kruger]

aparently he's up and walking at the moment... things are looking better

[scathing]

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.

[_8OO5TED_]

has he suffered any terminal brain injuries?

anyone heard?

[SoFreshSoClean]

What a champ. He wanted to do a camera piece straight after he crashed!!

Respect to the Hamster!
