Except Hamster isnt that unfit!
QuoteTOP Gear star Richard Hammond dumped his car stuck in floods — and RAN 16 miles to be home for his daughter's birthday.
Ten months after surviving a horror crash, Richard, dubbed Hamster, proved he is fully fit again by completing the amazing run in 2½ hours.
The Bionic Hamster had taken 13 hours to drive from West London to Gloucestershire, where he lives, in Friday's storms.
TV Richard's Porsche 911 Carrera finally stuck in traffic-clogged Cheltenham at 3am on Saturday.
But the devoted dad, who suffered a serious brain injury in last September's 288mph dragster smash, was determined to be there for daughter Willow's fourth birthday.
He abandoned the grey sports car and set off into the night, wearing a pair of old running shoes he found in the boot.
He jogged through back streets of Cheltenham to the A40 and followed the main road to a country lane leading to his home in a hamlet near Newent.
Richard, 37, arrived soaking and exhausted at 5.30 before Willow awoke.
Last night he said of her birthday: "There was no way I was going to miss it. Luckily I had my waterproof jacket with me in the car so I decided to run the rest of the way.
"It was pitch black but I just put my iPod on and went."
A pal said: "It shows his guts and determination."
Richard, who also has a daughter Isabella, seven, with wife Mindy, amazed doctors by his rapid recovery from the accident.
Sun link - no I didnt buy it, someone left a copy lying on the Tyne and Wear Metro an I was bored enough to peek.
That was awesome. Im amazed they didnt go through the ice, I wanted Hammond to win that one.
Thought it was quite mediocre tbh.
Jaimz :rock:

Do not put words in peoples mouths please, thank you
Yes they had a lot of people with them but they still went out there unfit especially hammond who did a great job
Its not like they were ever going to be sent out there to do it all on their own with no backup or assistance, especially May and Clarkson. It was never about whether they could do it, it was all about who would get there first, like every classic challenge.

True but crossing the channel in boat cars is going to be the dogs bollux
That was an awesome episode. Ive a good mind to watch it through again.
