    This popped into my inbox this morning, just thought I'd pass it on for Top Gear and Hamster fans:

    Richard Hammond back behind the wheel
    13 November 2006


    by Adrian Hearn
    Top Gear star Richard Hammond is back behind the wheel – just two months after his 288mph horror smash.
    Hammond, 36, took wife Mindy for a spin near their Gloucestershire home, after passing two hours of mental reasoning, memory and problem-solving tests to get his driving license back.
    ‘The Hamster’ has amazed doctors with his speedy recovery. Two months ago, he was in a critical condition in Leeds Royal Infirmary after losing control of a jet-powered Vampire dragster.
    And the popular presenter couldn’t hold back his delight. Afterwards he told the Daily Mirror: “As I got into the driving seat it felt like I was back where I belonged.
    “It felt like passing my test again. I have really missed driving and the freedom that comes with it.”
    The TV star stuck to a more moderate speed, not going over 50mph in his classically styled 2005 Morgan sports car.

    Top Gear's Hammond back on set

    From carsguide.com.au:
    14 December 2006

    Only four months ago he was in an intensive care ward and suffering a serious brain injury following a crash at almost 480Km/hr, but this week Top Gear's popular presenter Richard Hammond celebrated his first day back on the set of the popular BBC TV series and attended the show's Car Of The Year award ceremony.

    Well, my details are (and have been for sometime) registered with the Applause Store who co-ordinate tickets for studio filming of Top Gear. With the late start to the series that means they will still be filming when I am there in March. I can only hope that my number comes up and the planets align so I may get a couple of passes to the show.
