That was one hell of a crash and as for the news this morning on the radio saying Hammond did not comply with the safety procedures as he saw the tyres starting to shred...COME ON the human reaction isnt that fast especially the speeds he was doing!
Be thankful he's still alive and maybe the vehicle team should of double checked the wheels if anyone
Other than that a top first show

On this Sunday's show:
Captain Slow and the Bugatti Veyron
As you might have gathered, TG rather likes the Bugatti Veyron. Not least because the 1,001bhp monster has a claimed top speed of 253mph. But will it ever actually go that fast?
Armed with the Veyron's special 'go really fast' security key, James heads to the five-and-a-half-mile straight at VW's maximum security test track in Germany to find out.
In the news this week...
Find out why Porsche is keeping everyone in the dark about its new Cayenne, what the TVR house band sounds like, and why Prince Charles has lined his garage with petrol.
Also, the boys check out a 'supercar by George' (can you guess which one it is?), discuss their best and worst drives of the past six months, and reveal why undertakers will soon be out of business.
Hugh Grant in a Reasonably Priced Car
You've probably heard of him. Yes, he's a real, proper Hollywood star and, according to Jeremy, the very man for whom Star in a Reasonably Priced Car was conceived.
Hugh Grant - foppish Englishman extraordinaire and star of Notting Hill and Love Actually - ditches his Bentley GTC for our Chevrolet Lacetti and takes to the TG test track to show off his full repertoire of curiously endearing blasphemy.
The Three Coupe Challenge
Want a coupe for around £25,000? You're spoilt for choice, with the brand-new Audi TT, Alfa Romeo's gorgeous Brera and the manic-revving Mazda RX-8 all vying for your pocket money. After a heady row, the boys couldn't find a clear winner, so they decided to settle the debate in that time-honoured fashion: a good old game of golf.
Train Crash TV
It might surprise you, but no one's ever asked Top Gear to make a public information film. Until now. Jeremy dons a high-visibility jacket and a pair of hard hats to extol the dangers of pensioners, level crossings and, erm, high-visibility jackets. OK, so he got a bit confused. Basically it's all an excuse to pile an express train into a Renault Espace at high speed, with seriously spectacular results.
I heard the guest this week was Simon Pegg, but I guess he isn't. He's much better than Hugh Grant, who is boooring

Tonight's episode was a lot better than last week (minus Hugh Grant's shameless plug 
). The Veyron is amazing at 250mph, it looked extremely stable. Hopefully someone with a Veyron should be able to lend TG one, to do the track, like Nick Mason did with the Enzo.
Shame they missed the Train Crash bit. Roll on next Sunday, with their trip to America

Really enjoyed last nights TG, and although Hugh Grant only did the show to plug that new movie he's done (which I think I'll be giving a miss) - I did crack up when Jeremy said 'Now I'd like to get onto your lap', I think I must be a bit wierd!
Anyway, good show and it was nice to see Captain Slow in the Veyron!
