OH NOOOOES!

Richard Hammond, the 36-year old presenter of the BBC Top Gear TV show has been \"critically injured\" during a speed run in a jet-powered car at the Top Gear race track in Yorkshire. :(

Poor guy - I really hope he pulls through. I've just finished downloading every single episode of Top Gear since 2001 (OK, I'm missing [01x04]) and I have really enjoyed Richard's skills and humour, in all situations. What a beastly thing to have happen.

Top Wop - Mininova has all the top gear episodes in reasonably healthy torrents, from series 8 down to series 3. I think my folder is now around 20 or so Gigabytes, and that'd my entrie data traffic for a month, so not much chance of me sending 'em to you, sorry.

Just be persistent bro - some of my top gear torrents took a month to download. The BBC series from 1977 \"Survivors series 3\" torrent has been running for 2 months and is 26% complete!

That's really sad, I hope the guy pulls through. Top Gear is a great show, the only time I get to see it is when I visit my dad.
