Little Girl Who Rode With Richard Hammond In A Pink Lambo Passed Away

Sad news out of England today, as Emilia, the little girl who got to ride with Richard Hammond in a pink Lamborghini as one of her last wishes, has passed away. Rest in peace.

Emilia's wish to ride around in a pink Lamborghini with Top Gear's Richard Hammond had to be one of the most unique requests that Rays of Sunshine, England's version of Make A Wish, had ever received. Full credit to them, as well as HR Owen and Richard Hammond for helping make her dream come true.

Emilia had an amazing spirit, and she's passed away for too young. But thanks to Rays of Sunshine, HR Owen, and Richard Hammond, her family will have memories of her that will last forever.

because she preferred his keyboardist Dave Bryan. She described herself as an "ordinary mother of two" from The Netherlands and bore a banner reading "David plays the keys to my heart."





She very unexpectedly died in her sleep last year. While most women would go to their graves happy that they had merely made eye contact with Jon, she stood up for what she wanted -- which makes her and Emilia living legends in my book.
