If there are any other fans of the show, please sign this online petition to save the show. Not sure if any of you are aware, but Richard Hammond was critically injured last week in a 300 mph crash on camera, and although he's recovering well, the show's detractors are now trying to "downshift" Top Gear.

Great show, entertaining and refreshing. Hopefully "the hamster" will make a full and speedy recovery, along with the show.

TopGear is my favorite show. I wish Richard Hammond well. Get well soon!

Does anyone know if they have released the DVDs in the U.S.? Last time I looked I could only find them on e-bay in PAL (UK) format.

Maybe if we all start buying TopGear merchandise the executives will take note.

If you get DVDs from the UK you can watch them here on all-region players. There's a great Philips model at Wal-Mart for like $40 that'll play anything.

Serious? I'm going to go after work and look.

I already have an extinsive video library (well over 1000). If I start purchasing international videos I'll have to buy more shelves, my e-bay budget will need more funds, I'll have to get a second job.

Thanks, Joe Black :)
