Top Gear is Back, Hammond Alive!
Yes, believe it or not, Top Gear returned to BBC2 tonight avec Richard Hammond. Hammond, as you may recall was in a horrific accident while commanding a jet car while filming the program. Apparently, Clarkson and May could be bothered to pull the plug on him while on life support, so he’s back and better than ever. Check out his blog entry at: http://www.topgear.com/blogs/planettopgear/018-watching-my-crash/
European automakers can rejoice because it means that they may finally get their cars featured and reviewed before the largest TV programme audience in the world. If you missed it, Finalgear.com will likely have a torrent soon, so you will be able to view it.
Crash footage of Hammand can be viewed here as well: http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/28/hammonds-crash-available-on-top-gears-website
