Too fast too furious

Get well soon Richard Hammond! The 36-year-old was thought to be driving at about 300mph on an airfield near York when he crashed on Wednesday. Hammond was driving a jet-powered dragster similar to the Vampire - used by Colin Fallows to set the British land speed record. It is thought Hammond was attempting to break Fallows' record of 300.3mph (BBC)

If you don't know who he is, you don't obviously watch BBC's Top Gear motor show and you probably wouldn't give a shit. But I watch the show, the presenters are charming, plus cars are awesome! Richard is one of three presenters (along with Jeremy Clarkson and James May)

And this according to Clarkson "I would just like to say how heartened Richard will be when I tell him just how many motorists and truck drivers on my way here wound down their windows to say they were rooting for him."

Aww, sweet really. Hope the " Hammond " recovers and be back presenting.
