44 Tonne Ton Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I hope he gets better but it's kinda poetic justice as Top gear is nothing but a prog for bloody yahoos! If ever a program convinced more people they had more ability than they were born with it's this rubbish!

Jackie Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Read on another board there that the car he was travelling in reached speeds of 280mph and it was the G-Force that knocked him out and that he is regaining consciousness in hospital. Although don't know what to believe, a poster from a messageboard or a bbc news link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
