well they just need to move the show from England and head to Ireland or the Isle of Mann. then make their own channel with car reviews and tech along side with the show it self.

I am glad to see Hamster is doing well and recovering quickly. the BBC will making the dumbest choice if they cancel Topgear its a world watched show. with great ratings. they would regret that if they did and i am sure someone else would pick them up and keep the show alive.

like they said ... Hammond was talking to the people who were getting him out of the car ... sooo its ok .. imo

Go Hamster!

It's nice to see that kind of dedication, even with the injuries. It says alot about him. Hopefully with allof the emails and the outcry of all the fans, it will help to keep the show on the air as it should be.

I don't think most rational people would do that. I'm sure there's some sort of psychological response from the brain saying: "Remember the last time you tried that?".
