Title: Hamster in the Daily Mirror
Post by: paultarsey on October 23, 2006, 02:22:26 pm

I read on the BBC website that Richard Hammond has written about his accident in the Daily Mirror (whatever that is).

He says that after his accident he regressed into a childlike state, became obsessive and had acute short-term memory loss.

Question:  Why is it that I have got all these things and I didn't even TRY to break the land speed record?

Isn't this the average person on Monday after Le Mans?

My thoughts entirely Dave. He looked a bit unsteady on his pins too when they took him out of that ambulance at Bristol Hospital and his eyes seemed to be pointing in different directions.

Nice piece of reading, thanks for the link. I'm amazed by this>>

Before he headed off for a much-needed nap, he had one final thing on his mind. Richard said: "Do you realise how annoyed I am that I've got no marks on me? Absolutely nothing at all, nothing for the pub.

Unbelievable, after crashing at 288 mph :-\
