Default Top Gear Crash

This might be a repost...but I didn't see it with a search.

But this occured awhile back, might have been last year, but Richard Hammond of Top Gear was in an accident while travelling over 280 MPH

Part 1 of the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK1Fv2yAhkc
Part 2 of the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3X2POZkJeyM

A favorite Top Gear episode is when they visit America....well the deep south that is...

Top Gear is the best show on television. Watch it and you'll laugh and cry at the same time. It's on a couple times weekly on BBC America.

Yeah, I remember the day he crashed.......scary stuff. If he would have died, I doubt the TopGear series would have continued. They play re-runs on BBC America a few times a week like SpiritRR said earlier, and the 10th season is about to start (in HD) on October 7th! If you guys haven't seen the "Polar Special" yet, I HIGHLY recommend watching that. BRILLIANT piece of work. Very cinematic, entertaining and hilarious.

I doubt that BBC America will show the new episodes, so I'll let you in on a little secret.........you can download all the episodes (even in HD for the new ones) via Bit Torrent from this site here.........

http://www.finalgear.com - which is a fansite for TopGear and Fifth Gear.

The "Polar Special" is the first episode to be filmed in HD, and the upcoming season 10 is supposed to be in HD as well.

I noticed the Polar Special on Youtube when I was creating this...but I had already wasted too much time....I'll have to watch that.

I just got done watching all of those links... VERY funny. Not a big fan of the, though jokingly said, "don't go to America" and semi-trashing. It's all in jest, I know... it was just the only thing I didn't like personally. Other than that... the Cow on the roof and things like that was hillarious!
