Something is wrong with the page for the Dragster Crash. Richard Hammond was in critical condition and in a severe coma for over two weeks, yet the page timelines it like he was up and walking in a day? Does anyone have any information on this?
What's on your mind?

I don't know if you've heard, but it was recently announced that the BBC decided to pull the plug on Top Gear after nearly 45 years on the air. Sources say that the show was canned due to Freddie Flintoff's crash last year, after which the BBC put Top Gear on hiatus before its cancellation. Though, I believe it was actually cancelled due to poor ratings, which have been in decline ever since Chris Evans' short-lived stint as presenter in 2016 after Jeremy Clarkson got sacked in 2015 and Richard Hammond and James May subsequently left Top Gear to make The Grand Tour. The BBC has stated that they remain committed to Chris Harris, Paddy McGuinness and Freddie Flintoff, suggesting that they'll probably present other shows on BBC, just not Top Gear. It makes me wonder if the BBC has plans to make a big send-off special to wrap up the show.
If Top Gear really is over, then I believe it had a good run. It's hard to believe that this motoring show was on the air for over 40 years, which I think is more than enough for a car show. And even if the episodes with the new presenters aren't all that amazing, we can always look back fondly at the stuff made during the Clarkson, Hammond and May era of Top Gear, along with The Grand Tour.
Who knows, maybe Top Gear will be revived again in the near future (possibly with a new team of hosts, I'd imagine), though I'm not holding out my breath for it.
I was only 8-9 years old when the incident between Jeremy Clarkson & Oisin Tymon happened. I didn't really know the whole story then, until eight years later, when I found out that Clarkson punched Top Gear's producer in the face at a hotel when he didn't get served the stake he wanted.
I honestly consider this to be the worst thing Clarkson has ever done!
But who can blame Richard Hammond & James May for retiring? If Jeremy Clarkson wouldn't be there to host Top Gear, then neither would they.
Then when we got Chris Evans fucking up the fandom's shit in the 2016 series of Top Gear, Clarkson, Hammond & May moved to Prime to host a new car show called The Grand Tour. The show is definitely a masterpiece, & better than New Top Gear in my opinion. At least Clarkson still had his two friends with him in the end, knowing that he once committed physical assault.
Hey guys i'm new here and my name is VoidKnight123 just call me Void for short.
Clarkson hates airports...
Hammond is identical to David Tennant...
& May tries to sample his beer.
This is a meme when Jeremy Clarkson yells at Richard Hammond in the Burma Special.

Evening, new to this forum.
In 1996 I went to Top Gear Live at Silverstone and had a ball! I bought the magazine around this time and was shocked to find my face over loads of pages!
I can't remember which issue it was or whether it was a "Special". To add insult to injury, when clearing out my stuff when moving I accidentally donated said issue and would love to find a copy again to show my kids. Any help would be appreciated!
Who knows the font for the ending credits of the Clarkson, Hammond and May Era?
It's listed that the USA Special is on Season 9, Episode 3. This is incorrect, as I've just watched it. This is the "Rocket Reliant Robin" episode.
I am a 15 yr old boy who really loves the lamborghini brand....i want to buy one when i grow up...
I will put an about me thing in my profile page
Hi. I'm desperately trying to find a copy of an 1996 issue on the above. My partner Darren Owens was issued in an article. He was an avid racer at Silverstone. He did have a copy of the magazine but lost it. No idea what month in 1996 it was ?
If anyone can help me to get a copy of the magazine I would be eternally grateful and happy to pay for it.
Or if anyone can direct me with how to find a copy online ? Sorry Ive no idea how to do this.
If anyone can help PLEASE email me beckydonegan@yahoo.co.uk.
