I really hope he's ok. His contributions to the show and his jabs at Jeremy are what makes this show great.

I hope he gets better and they air the crash while the 3 hosts jokingly review how "horrible" of a driver he is. Kind of reminds me when the Stig crashed the koenigssegg... except worse.

Turns out this is not his first accident...

I hope he alright. It seems he always has bad luck. in the cheap porsche episode he broke a finger when he had to crash his 944 into a wall to see how safe it was. I also hope he is still with the show, he was such a funny young antic compared to the other guys.

wow, what a way to crash a car thou. At 280 mph, jeez, at least he was able to speak when they got him out of the car.

Im sure hell be alright, and i think the show must be close to done filming. They only have a lil over 2 weeks till teh new season starts.


The doctors seem to be confident about his recovery, but we are just going to have to wait and see what happens.
