Jet cars are bad

Oh no no no, I hope this doesn't end up the 'third'. They say they all come in threes. Steve, Peter, and now maybe Richard Hammond? At least he's not an Aussie, maybe it's Aussie celebs, maybe he'll pull through.

One-Fang is being cryptic. One-Fang will stop now.

:cry: BBC presenter for Top Gear, Richard Hammond, has just been "critically" injured (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/north_yorkshire/5365676.stm) filming a jet car stunt for the show. He's unconscious in hospital.

Hopefully he'll pull through. He is funny and a brilliant presenter. TG just wouldn't be what it is without 'Shirt'. :(

Peter? I don't know who you're talking about, is he an Aussie celeb? Either way, sounds like someone you liked died so I'm sorry to hear of it.

I don't know who Richard Hammond is, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for him to recover soon. (Maybe I should make it a point to learn who he is, actually... the picture on that website showed a pretty handsome guy! Of course, I'd still pray for him even if he wasn't a looker. :))

He is a stunner, isn't he? A real cute sweetie. Watch Top Gear.

His condition has been upgraded to "seriously ill" but "stable". So phew, he's not dead. yay!

'Peter' was Peter Brock. The second Aussie celeb to die suddenly. Less than a week after Steve Irwin died. I just had this vision of another celeb who does dangerous stuff for a living dying right in the middle of doing some of that dangerous stuff. Okay, so Richard isn't an Aussie, but the rest of the 'trend' (although we all hope it's NOT a trend!) fits.

Yeah, celebrity news usually leaves me cold, but I was sorry to hear about Richard Hammond this morning. He co-presents the BBC motoring show Top Gear, where the other presenters pick on him for being short, and irresistably attractive to girls. He's sort of the housewives' favourite, and is popularly known as "the Hamster".

"The Hamster" should make a full recovery in time we hope. He is the perfect foil for Jezza. I remember Jeremy Clarkson remarking how much like the cat in Shrek 2 the hamster looked like.

I miss the little guy already.....petrolheads all over the world are just a little sadder:cry: best wishes for a full recovery
