First pic of Richard Hammond up and out of hospital
We just reported a couple of days ago that Richard Hammond is out of the hospital and starting his recuperation. Even better news today, we have a photo of the Hamster walking with his family. Amazingly, it looks like it could have been taken six weeks ago before the jet car crash that sent him to the hospital occurred. While we know he is not out of the woods just yet, it is very heartening to see him up and about like this. Despite the severity of the crash and the lingering potential for brain damage, Hammond's doctors expect him to fully recover.Richard was seen strolling with his wife and daughter as he went on his first family outing since the accident, a shopping trip close to his home in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. Earlier this week, the Hamster revealed how the accident had left him "utterly bonkers." The father of two said that his brain damage caused him "terrifying mental anguish." He also mentioned that he had "flatlined" in the hospital and that he has suffered "private breakdowns" since the crash. Click through the read link for the full story and a larger pic. Great to see you on your feet again, Richard.
Thanks for the tip, Vinny!

Great picture. He's hoping to be back driving again in a few weeks. although he did say that he'll be keeping away from the jet powered vehicles!

Man his wife does not look happy. Probably just because its a candid photo, and shes kind of got a horse face already, but wow she looks pissed in that pic.

Ok...am I the only one who doesn't give a rat's behind about Richard Hammond?
Seriously...it's getting old. How is this still auto news?
I'd like to suggest a new post:
"Richard Hammond takes first $@*! after leaving hospital."

He's a very lucky lad indeed to be alive. He really needs to think about his family first now and not do any more silly stunts. His daughter needs her daddy afterall. Don't let go Richard.

You guys have it all wrong. The next post will be an upskirt shot of Hammond getting out of a car without panties on.
