Top Gear's Hammond buys castle
Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond, who became even more popular after his high-speed crash, has bought a castle in Hertfordshire. The castle, with six rooms and a pool, costed €2.5 million. Less than a month ago, both Hammond and colleague James May got a wage increase from the BBC.
http://www.f1technical.net/news/10125 ....................... I never heard that they settled there contract dispute. It's good to hear they have. A castle, is this due to his short complex? |
lol, wage increase = buy a castle. that's crazy
|
^seriously...oh im not making enough because i want to afford a castle!
|
I'm in the wrong freaking business. :banhead:
|
does anyone know what their salaries were increased to? I remember hearing they were grossly underpaid
|
Man, you don't get a much more ridiculous purchase than a castle. I mean, really - an entire CASTLE?!
If I had one, I'd be setting up catapults and trebuchets all over with a moat full of sharks. Possibly with laser beams on their heads. |
Well he needs a place to store all his cars. A castle would totally be cool. I would love to own one.
^ What about dogs with killer bees in their mouths, and every time they barked killer bees shot out at you? |
Without a dount If I had the kind of money to, I would buy a castle, LOOOONNNNGGGG before many other things. In Fact, If I could afford a house from the $2-$4m range it would be masonery bearing(castle with real stone walls).

You have real Gargoyles. You are so lucky.. But never forget that nothing works better with a peice of wood with a nail in it. Arm your Gargoyles with that.
|
you can buy castles in England for less then 2m. It's not like there's only 5 castles in the whole country.. There's over a thousand registered "castles" in england.

Crocodiles...how boring. Hows about Ninja Cats?
|
I believe that he was going to quit the show since he was being underpaid, if i am correct.
|
Top Gear wouldn't be much fun without the Hamster
|
definitely, top gears needs all 3 of them. wouldn't be the same otherwise.
|

a castle? I'd just buy a garage |
Meh.
