Quote from James May on Wikipedia:

"After visiting Hammond in the hospital, May remarked: "I was chuffed to see him and although he's muttering, he seems much like the irritating little shit I know and love. Even when he can't say much, he seemed to make as much sense as he does when he can talk normally...Having seen him today I do believe Richard will make a full recovery from this awful crash and, when he's back on his feet, I'm looking forward to going down to the pub with him."

Sounds positive

Fingers crossed.

Hunker that quote is quite positive

I want to get all three of them (RH, JC and JM) and have a group hug! They make you feel like you know them..

Found it here on ITV news

"Doctors said Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond had been moved out of intensive care and was making 'satisfactory progress'."

Encouraging news

IvortheEngine · 22/09/2006 10:49

I'm so pleased to read such a positive quote. I think of him each morning and check the teletext for news as does ds who likes Top Gear. I hope very much that he continues to make progress and makes a full recovery in due course.

Another nice bit:

hunkermunker · 22/09/2006 11:02

Just caught a bit of This Morning - his condition has been downgraded from serious but stable to stable.

Apparently after the crash, he'd asked to do a piece to camera to explain what had happened and complained of lower back pain. Jeremy Clarkson told him he was a "crap driver" in hospital and RH had smiled and tried to sit up.

we love him here and v upset by the accident - blimey,he's a popular bloke it seems ! really wish him well ..

Flossam · 22/09/2006 13:22

Hope there is nothing spinal there too then if he was complaining of lower back pain.

Personally I think RH is rather lovely and was very sad about what has happened. If I were his wife and he makes a full recovery I think he would be toning down his TG antics to say the least.

ruty · 22/09/2006 13:48

oh manitz. I was hit by a car at 13 and always thank God my head was OK [my body was a bit messed up] Must be hard for your family. xxx
