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.

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.

      It's all about the socialisation of the dogs. In that first 8 to 16 weeks of age they need to be taught to be nice and friendly with everything. That way they generalise it to everything. That said, some days you'll just never beat genetics, but 99% of the time dogs chasing cats is purely lack of socialisation, and then the chasing part can turn into prey drive.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      I bench bled my HFM BM57 before installing, it leaked badly. Threw it in the bin, because I installed it 2 years after purchase.

      That is horrid. Reminds me of the time that R32 send the clutch through the bonnet, then the guy tried to sell his car using those pictures.
