you americans do know what top gear is right?

Awe man... why Hamster? He's not Mr. "POWAAAAH" like Clarkson, so why'd he get stuck doing it?

[Alexlind123]

Thats too bad, hes a kinda cool guy.

[SnakeyesTx]

Another link.. looks like a lot of details... 300mph? Not bad ^_^

I figured it would be the Stig. May have to find something to launch over(?) a caravan in his honour.

[Jehu]

can accelerate from 0 to 272mph in six seconds. Man, even i don't think i;d want to drive that thing.... well maybe,lol..

first steve irwin and now this :(

[Nick.Hay]

best of luck hamster!!!! :(

[SC David]

Bad news :(

Hopefully he's back in good health and back on the show soon. Funny guy.

[Jimbo]

That's no good, I hope he makes a full recovery. Top Gear is a great show James, Jeremy, and Richard have such a great rapport together.

Putting a TV presenter who is not really a highly trained driver in a 300 MPH jet car seems like a somewhat poorly thought out idea.

[Michael999]

I hope he makes a full recovery!

[E34-520iSE]

He's a great guy - I really enjoy watching him. Get well soon Hamster!

[Jimbo]

See this sight formore updates on Hammond's condition: http://finalgear.com/

[Milkboot]

Found this update today on Hammond, guess we will never see a hamster go that fast again unless Richard Gere turns gay again

[nizmainiac]

the hamster is doing well, he's out of icu

[632 Regal]

has there been any updates on this yet? I have been looking but havent seen anything new.

[Jimbo]

It seems his condition has improved from "serious but stable" to "stable," whatever that means. More here:

The website I linked to a few posts up seems to be keeping up to date on the latest news.

[nizmainiac]

he has also said a few words to co-presenter james may, james believes that the hamster is fully intact

[RiggsyB]

James May has been on the radio saying he believes he's ok indeed...

I'll get my stepbrother to go and give well wishes (lives just down the road from Hamster) to his family... In fact, best ring my lil sister and check she's ok... She's his number 1 fan!

[nizmainiac]

just found a good link for all info news.sky.com/skynews/home

I wish the chap a full recovery and soon too ! He seems to be a great enthusiast.......we don't need any more fatherless children out there for the sake of thrills alone.I enjoyed all of the super humans that have perished recently. Such a shame.

At least he didn't die.


At least it wasn't Tiff. The origonal!

Sounds like Top Gear may be in trouble but the Hampster is getting better:
