Richard 'Hampster' Hammond has had to abandon his Porsche 911 Carrera due to the flooding which has enveloped many parts of England over the last couple of weeks.The Top Gear presenter was travelling home from London to Cheltenham for his daughter's birthday. However, Hammond found himself stuck in a traffic jam due to the flood chaos, it was at this point that he donned his running gear and ran the last 16 miles of his journey home.
Hammond told the Daily Mirror: "There was no way I was going to miss it - I'm away from home enough as it is.
"Luckily I had my running gear and a waterproof jacket with me in the car, so I decided to run the rest of the way. It was pitch black but I just put my iPod on and went."
Top Gear returns to our TV screens this Wednesday for a one-off special that sees Hammond and chums in a race to the North Pole.
