For those who don’t remember or weren’t around at the time, shortly after Richard’s crash in the dragster, we collected donations and used them to buy a helmet and have it custom painted just for Richard. It took a while, but we finally got it to him earlier this year (full backstory there as well).

In an upcoming episode of Top Gear, Richard will be using a Bugatti Veyron for a segment (I won’t spoil why, but it’s pretty damn cool). Photos have emerged online of him in the car and he just happens to be wearing a familiar helmet.

Sweet, huh? I’m giddy with pride. More photos and discussion right here.

Here’s some photos of the helmet:
