Synopsis
Moving quickly on from the devastating crash that nearly killed him, Richard ranges widely over his life and times—a visit to Glastonbury with James May reminds of him of his early years of playing in a band and how and why he never quite made it as a rock star; the stunts and other perils that come his way like the Top Gear North Pole race (why is it Richard who is out in the howling elements in a dog sled while the others are in the heated cab of an all-terrain vehicle?); Africa where he falls in love with and repatriates a stray car; and the U.S. (once to be chased by rednecks in middle America, the other in pursuit of his hero Evel Knievel); his passion for cars, what he owns and why, and although he loves his wife why it is a toss-up whether he says hello to the wife or the cars first. Balancing home and family with a crazy, peripatetic working life (or not, sometimes), the Hamster is well and truly back on the wheel.

About the Author
Richard Hammond is internationally famous for cohosting Top Gear. His previous titles include On the Edge and Richard Hammond's Car Confidential.
From AudioFile
Richard Hammond is one of the presenters on the BBC car show TOP GEAR, and he's crafted an utterly charming memoir. The show is known for outlandish stunts, such as driving to the North Pole. Hammond makes that trip by dogsled rather than car, and his observations put listeners right there in the frozen tent with him (and make them grateful for their own warm beds). Equally compelling is his story of floods in the English countryside, of running miles and miles home in the dark, of borrowing an old boat to mount a rescue of a couple of friends stranded in their house. Hammond has great timing and a friendly, intimate reading style, ensuring that every joke is funny and that listeners are rapt. J.M.D. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
