Black Rose Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 The Accident was caused by a tyre blowing out. How could you have predicted that, how could you have accounted for a tyre blowing out? It was an accident, even with every angle covered by what if's, you can't predict a tyre blow out. And if they take off top gear, they will have to take of fifth gear which is worst for promoting speeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crestingwaves Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 have you heard about how the Richard guy has got brain-damage or something from crashing a dragster or something...??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjie Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Well I can quite easily tell you that I'm not watching it for the cars!! Its the other slots they do which have got me watching. Think the first time I flicked through and stopped was when they were racing each other from a to b but had to rely on sat nav to get them there. It was so hilarious, particularly Jeremy's face as he watched one of the other two win because his sat nav had tried to take him through a road which had been closed at one end. I find the comparisons of the expensive cars interesting, but as I'm never going to be able to afford the insurance on one let alone the car itself, those slots don't hold my attention so much. Half the fun of those bits is finding out what weird and wonderful sarky comment Jeremy will use next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjie Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 yeah! What if it IS albie? jenjie? hopefully, he hasn't reached as far as there yet!! if it is, maybe it'll get deleted quicker than the ostrich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 "The buy a coupe for under £1500 which isn't a posche challenge", that was a very good challenge set with James breaking down outside Oxford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjie Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 my other favoruite was when they bought really low sports cars and were racing them from a garage in Paris to Switzerland or somewhere like that. the first hurdle was getting one of the cars out of the garage as they couldn't get it down the curb. caused a traffic jam on the street whilst they manouvered bits of wood underneath the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 That wasn't a race, that was a cruise to see a bridge in the south of france. And yes it was funny seeing them working out how to get the cars out of the underground carpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc_squared Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Top Gear to stay "on the road"!! BBC's Top Gear 'will not be axed' Last updated at 10:26am on 5th October 2006 Remarkable recovery: Richard Hammond is making good progress Top Gear is to resume filming today two weeks after Richard Hammond's crash. The BBC show was put on hold when Hammond suffered serious injuries while driving a jet-powered dragster. But presenter Jeremy Clarkson is back in the driving seat this morning, test-driving a Lotus Europa at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome in Surrey. The new series of the show was due to begin this Sunday but Hammond's accident caused it to be postponed. A BBC spokeswoman said: "We remain committed to Top Gear and there was never any question of it being axed. "It was postponed but filming will resume today at the Top Gear track." Hammond, 36, is said to be delighted the show is back on. He is continuing his recovery from brain injuries sustained in the crash which nearly claimed his life. The presenter was driving at speeds up to 300mph when the jet-powered Vampire dragster veered off the track at Elvington airfield, near York, on September 20. The vehicle flipped over several times and crashed on the grass. Hammond has been transferred to a hospital in Bristol and doctors predict he will be "back to his old self" within six months. No transmission date has been set for the new series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
