1. Hammond.
They have an episode where they put him in a car in a pool and see if/how long it takes him to get out.

2. lol!
I haven't seen that one. I kind of avoided the one where he wrecks the jetcar. I just don't like watching people get injured.

I did see one recently where Jeremy drives an old Rolls into a pool as part of an opening ceremony :rofl:

3. The jetcar wreck ended the season early
and he was banged up pretty well.

The Rolls opening the community pool was a good one. Clarkson doing the body work was an instant classic. :rofl:

4. Yes!
Such as being assured that the BMW silver was exactly the same as the Rolls silver, as well as his "bondo" job

9. I love that show.
You could tell he was nervous. I would have been scared to death, even though I knew it was safe.
