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

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.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
