Top Gear's Richard Hammond Gets Back Behind The Wheel
Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond has gotten behind the wheel for the first time since he was seriously injured in a high speed jet car crash in September.

While filming for Top Gear, Hammond�s jet car skidded off the track in Yorkshire while reaching speeds of 280mph; the car turned over and crashed leaving Hammond with brain injuries.

After months of recovery Hammond felt confident enough to return to driving�but this time he chose his Morgan rather then a jet car.

Speaking to the Mirror, Hammond said of getting back in his beloved car: "I will remember this day for the rest of my life. Now I feel more like me. As soon as I got back into the driving seat it felt like I was back where I belonged.

"It was wonderful to be away from everything, being able to tootle around the lanes in the foothills of the Malverns in Gloucestershire on a sunny Sunday afternoon.�

Good on him�
