As You Do: Adventures with Evel, Oliver and the Vice-President of Botswana by Richard Hammond ranges widely over his life and times (moving quickly on from his crash) -- a visit to Glastonbury with James May reminds of him of his early years of playing in a band and how and why he never quite made it as a rock star; the stunts and other perils that come his way like the "Top Gear "North Pole race; Africa where he falls in love with and repatriates a stray car; and the U.S; his passion for cars, what he owns and why, and although he loves his wife why it is a toss-up whether he says hello to the wife or the cars first. Balancing home and family with a crazy, peripatetic working life (or not, sometimes), the Hamster is well and truly back on the wheel.
