Any of you read it? So far im loving this book. His childhood stories seem like my childhood memories.. Its crazy how much we have in common. As far as I read.

But man oh man do I wish I was him.. Anyway, if you haven't read it already-you should.

Description:
From the first ridiculous stunts on his tricycle to his increasing and near obsessive attraction to speed and the smell of gas, this is the high-octane life of TV personality Richard Hammond. A lively and intelligent communicator, TV soon beckoned for Hammond. He became one of the daredevil trio—along with Jeremy Clarkson and James May—who have made an enormous, world-wide success of the revamped BBC TV program Top Gear. Hammond describes the personalities, the camaraderie, and the stunts with which the trio entertains their weekly audiences, including the day of his 300 MPH crash that took his show off the air, put him into a coma, and plunged a nation into mourning. The stages of recovery as his shattered mind reformed are covered, as are the milestones in his slow recovery to full health and his return to Top Gear.

Clarkson punched some ******* a few times too at a BBC awards show.

Damned good men, the lot of them.
