Top Gear... Top Man

What a week it's been folks of world and once again I find myself wondering about the miracles of life the universe and all that stuff.

I don't know how on earth Richard Hammond survived that atrocious accident but he obviously has the Krypton Factor and is on his way to recovery. Get well soon Hamster we need you on Top Gear as soon as possible arguing with Jeremy and James re the cool wall and driving the flash cars and everything.

Which leads me to say this. Yes, what he was doing was dangerous and something went badly wrong. But it was "his choice" and no-one forced him into the car. It amazes me that pressure groups such as Transport 2000 say that programmes like Top Gear are for pertol heads and talk about lads being the primary audience. Have they ever watched and episode and seen how many "girls" are in the studio. Or even how many ladies drive the reasonbly priced car.

This programme has been around for a lot of years and does cover road cars as well as the more powerful production models. It is total entertainment for all who like cars and should be seen as such.

Rant over and now onto the good news. Wow What a Ryder Cup win.

Quite emotional for Darren Clarke in particular but all kudos to the men of team europe for a superb victory.

One last thing... I forgot to mention how sad I was that the Crocodile Hunter was gone from this earth. Steve Irwin was fearless and perhaps this is what led to his sad death a few weeks back. We should remember that this was his life and although we probably thought that he would go at the hands of a crocodile, he still went doing what he loved best.

So Long matey... crike, it seems we hardly got to know you and respects to Teri, Bindi, Bob and all at Australia Zoo. Keep up his work!

All for now... see you soon.
