Hi All,

Quote

Since Richard Hammond's crash on Wednesday 20th September, numerous politicians, action groups and random people in the street have called for Top Gear to be pulled off the air at last, stating that it sets a bad influence.

Jeremy Clarkson has written an article here:
http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006440317,00.html

In it he states that Hammond did get training, and that it looks like the main cause of the accident was a burst tyre (which, obviously, no one can prepare for) AND he says that Hammond knew the risks and still went for it.


Now I'm sure most of you mud-clubbers enjoy your weekly dose of Top Gear and would hate to see it made into some politically correct nonsense designed to promote "safe and sensible driving" with average cars being driven at average speeds - wouldn't that be entertaining?!

Almost 5000 signatures so far (since yesterday)

http://www.petitiononline.com/tg100/petition.html <-- go there and get signing  :)

Cheers,

Brother Ted.

PS. This is also worth a visit: http://www.justgiving.com/PHRichardHammond its a fund set-up for the air ambulance that took Hammond to hospital. In the last 3 days they've raised over £130,000 through this page..
