I laughed out loud, I cringed when he mentioned that before his last run of the day, the one where the accident occured, he suddenly thought of some advice a race driver had given him. The advice was, never to drive with a full bladder, as if you crashed, there was a chance it could burst, at this thought Richard decided that maybe he could do with the toilet before getting into the car, almost as if he knew what was going to happen. I wanted to go for the abridged audiobook and then I read a review that said "unabridged would be better". Well, it wasn't :)

Porsche 911 GT3, which he discussed purchasing during Series 21 of Top Gear. This car was subsequently recalled because of multiple reports of the cars catching fire [121] and he sold it in 2016. A cultural shift towards living more consciously and responsibly means reassessing our travel priorities. New, faster and more comfortable rail and ferry services are making cross-continental travel easy and enjoyable, while many hotels and tour operators are improving their credentials and actively facilitating local wildlife conservation projects.

Opel Kadett, a car he bought for Top Gear's Botswana special. He named the car Oliver and had it shipped from Botswana to the UK. [89] Even if you've never heard of Hammond, this is a compelling story about the triumph over such a serious injury, how such an injury--particularly to the brain--can affect loved ones, and the struggles a victim faces even well after the fact, even when they look ok. The unconditional love and deep bond Mindy and Richard have for each other is apparent throughout the book. The pair seems to find the best in everyone around them ...even the paparazzi who stalked the hospital and hid on the rooftop when Hammond was airlifted out. The couple also use the book as an opportunity to offer heartfelt thanks--on numerous occasions--to fans who sent flowers and cards (they read them all), doctors and nurses who cared for Richard, members of the BBC team, friends and family... Basically, if you knew Richard and Mindy during this period, you got a thank you.

Mindy's side of the story is utterly heartbreaking; to hear her worry and uncertainty about whether or not her husband would make it as well as being scared that the man she knew and loved might be gone in terms of personality actually brought tears to my eyes. And to add to that, Hammond's very valid concerns about relearning how to function and his frustration at the confusion that results from a serious brain injury makes you feel for him and his family.

This is a very important book in the world of TBI; it gives hope and encouragement to all parties involved when none may have been promised by medical staff. I would highly recommend this book to anyone going through this, and those who want to know more. The beauty of Hammond's TV work, no matter what programme it's on, is that he makes it all look so much fun and so easy. He gives off the air of being one of your mates who just happens to be on TV, especially on "Brainiac" and "Top Gear", where his cheeky sense of humour and his natural enthusiasm are given full rein. Whenever you watch him, it feels like he's about to walk out of the studio, into the pub and say "you'll never guess what I just did/drove/exploded" and have you in fits of laughter for the rest of the evening telling you all about it. I am a HUUUUUGGGGGE Top Gear fan, and my Dad likes to be part of that by buying me books by Jeremy Clarkson. When he saw this, he bought this one for me too, because (like every female of a certain age) I have a crush on Richard Hammond.
