in these darkest of days where the forces of good and evil collide to decide the fate of one of the world’s most beloved treasures, it’s good to know that there are brave and valiant souls fighting the good fight.

i’m talking, of course, about Top Gear and the recent decision by the BBC to postpone it until host Richard Hammond makes sufficient recovery from the brain trauma suffered during his 280mph rocket car accident last week. reports indicate that Hammond is already walking about, cracking jokes, and reportedly begging the BBC to air the footage of his near death experience.

unfortunately, there are many people who have been waiting to use an event like this as an excuse to cancel Top Gear for good but, thankfully, there are many more that simply will not stand for it.

let’s hope and pray that the BBC does not give in to the uptight environmentalists, health and safety philistines, and anyone who seeks to put an end to Top Gear. fellow petrolheads, let us stand together and fight for the soul of that which has so touched ours.
