Don't miss Top Gear tonight (Sunday 28th Jan 8pm) BBC2. New series with the video of his crash.

Still lots of controversy surrounding it apparently, HSE initial report says a tyre burst. The car's owner says he went off course and ran over something and the BBC will not show him all the footage ! Not likely to be resolved anytime soon by the looks of it.

Is it just me? but he didn't seem quite with it.

Am not particularly surprised, as it would certainly be a life changing experience, fair play to him!

I know what he's been through and it is life changing. He did very well to stand up there and talk about it. :bowdown:

Plus his teeth don't seem so white these days :nodder:
