Video – Hamster turns demolition man…

Top Gear’s Richard Hammond tries his hand at demolition…again.

It seems that when the guys from Top Gear are not hurtling around the Nurburgring in an supercar that costs almost as much as a celebrity divorce, they like nothing more than tackling a spot of demolition.

We have previously reported on their ill-advised parking of a reasonably priced car in the drop zone of an imploded chimney, and on their thwarted attempts to (literally) outgun the Erith Group demolition crew using military vehicles to take down a row of houses.

But in a BBC America special, Richard “The Hamster” Hammond is taking an even more active role in the demolition process, driving a demolition excavator as part of the Richard Hammond’s Crash Course series.
