at least it was in a jet powered car, that's a pretty impressive way to put yourself in intensive care.

Just last night I was watching the episode where his car gets hit by lightning and thought, "One of these days he's going to be killed."

Hope he's ok...

Christ, I just remembered in that same episode he talks about that dude's head coming off when his car rolled during a crash at Pendine Sands.
Fuck me, I jinxed him!
