Investigators have found what caused Richard Hammond’s 288mph crash that almost killed him in 2006. It was a nail in the tire (or tyre, strictly speaking – if you are British about it).

Isn’t that almost Shakespearian, in a “For want of a nail, the shoe was lost” kind of way? - low tech problem takes down complicated machine.

The result kind of took me by surprise, so I put it to the test and chucked our old, decommissioned cellphone into the microwave. Same thing happened.

Made by the Manx Peel Engineering Company between 1963 and ‘64, the P50 was a lovely safe, convenient, and environmentally friendly little super-car. Comparatively, it also kind of makes the Toyota Prius look Like a Hummer on steroids.

Here’s a video of Richard Hammond in Iceland, where they race jeeps across lakes in the summertime. I was going to say that this was going to be a short video, but any reference to Richard Hammond makes mentioning “short” kind of redundant.
You may remember the little Brit as The Fastest Traffic Accident in England.
