    Not good at all, hope he isn't as critically injured as they think. Jet powered car - think I'll steer clear of them.
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    Hope he's alright - he's an amusing wee fella.

    Pretty sure he's a biker in his spare time too.

    There's also a post on Sky: http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/...234569,00.html with a picture of the car. Didn't realise that it was actually a "rail" dragster. From memory, Elvington has a 10000 ft runway and has been used for record setting for decades. It used to be a nuclear bomber dispersal airstrip.

    Poor guy, hope he pulls through.
    Rides a CBR1000 from memory, but probably has a couple others tucked away.

    I hope we can still talk about him in the present tense......He should have a good story to tell about this one.

    Man, I hope he pulls through! They say things come in three's, hopefully this "theory" will be proved wrong though!

    Firefighter Dave Ogden, who witnessed the crash, told Sky News that the 36-year-old presenter was able to speak as he was taken out of the wreckage of the car.
