These two together, will make this a seriously big channel, love the vibe, and young Hammond is as silly and lovely as her dad,who entertained me for 20 plus yrs
I love Izzy's enthusiasm. I began wrenching on my car at the age of 20, almost clueless. I helped my dad a handful of times at least which helped me with a bit of an understanding. I did valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, diff fluid and oil change and brakes. I used to be really intimated but the more I worked on cars the more I was like, "Oh this is actually really simple." Even wiring seemed like a nightmare but watching Mighty Car Mods and other channels the last few years, I realized wiring isn't even crazy either. Just lots of diagrams. She'll get it with time.
She is fast becoming a natural at this presentation lark. Maxwell too is a brilliant person to get things over. Izzy is clear and easy to listen to, and im enjoying her content
Before someone asks: the interior work and roll-cage was done by Mike and another shop on a MORE DRIVETRIBE video :) But also Mini Hammond tricking out a Mini. It's a refreshing change to see Drive tribe thriving with a new generation of hosts under Richard as other big automotive channels (mainly stateside) have been down in the dumps, to be polite.
I absolutely love Izzy. I also love seeing her learning how to do some work on her car and showing people it’s possible to do your own work and not all automotive stuff is not difficult
I can't lie as soon as you said clutch. I cried inside. Talk about throwing Izzy in the deep end. I love minis but a clutch is a f***** to do on these. Car is looking amazing tho! Huge fan!!! 🤙🤙
I took mine to a local independent garage when it need a new clutch, when I picked it up they told me they were only charging me a third of the actual labour time it took otherwise, as it was the first one they've ever done it wouldn't be fair to charge me the actual time it took them, they also said they will refuse all future clutch jobs on MINI's because it was such a pain!
@@ChuckFickens1972 they aren't easy at all. Whole front of the car has to be removed, subframe dropped and the engine and gearbox manoeuvred in such a way to get the gearbox off with hardly any room. It's the downside to how the minis are packaged. I've done a fair few and I can't say I blame them for not wanting to do them 😂
Maxwell is doing the clutch and he is going to remove the engine in the next episode (as he mentioned at the end), so it is an easier job. Clutches are a pain even for an experienced hobby wrencher, so I doubt Maxwell would get Izzy very involved. Not putting her down, but she just started and as you said, it is the deep end.
@@ConnorSimpson007 They're a BMW product, what did you expect? To replace the headlights on many BMW's, you need to take the whole front facia and bumper off. Normal cars might need a little disassembly to do this job, BMW seems to make it their mission to make maintenance as terrible as possible
Let her grow a bit (not in size obviously with that family heritage :D) before you throw Top Gear at her. Also, Mike has to have a spot on that reboot, and I'm not sure they can both be on. Maybe Izzy will be revealed as the next Stig.
Has her father's style of presenting, relaxed and genuine. Very informative way of showing more detailed and involved maintenance and general understanding of cars! Plus she is beautiful! ( and a bit posh)! BIG LOVE to izzy!
Really coming along and these two work well together so a natural subset. You should challenge the AutoAlex, Matt Armstrong and a few of the other TH-cam channels to also prep a mini and then go racing!
I might be a bit harsh here, but these two make the channel a lot more fun then Mike. He only seems to be able to try and get views by mentioning something with the famous three. Where Izzy and Maxwell have a much better energy. It also nice that Maxwell isn’t scared of being honest to Izzy. They can stand on their own legs.
@@Dariowheelmakermost South Asian countries have insane import taxes and minis aren't sold there so must be imported. I know in Pakistan where I'm from the tax rate is 300% on any non domestic cars or non Japanese. That means it makes it uneconomical to import any car that isn't Japanese so you mostly see Toyota and Honda there including many models we don't get in the UK
I mean that's just obviously nonsense. James May is VERY compentent mechanically and has decades of experience doing such things. And Clarkson may act the fool on television but I know if push came to shove he knows what he's doing.
You go girl ! Can’t wait to see where this all goes. Track time will sharpen your skills and Stanley looks like he’s almost ready. Can’t wait to see what motor upgrades and tires you choose. Cheers guys!
Not seen it but I'm hoping that braided lines and better fluid was part of the brake upgrade. You'll still get shocking bad brake fade with stock brake fluid when it boils.
It took me a while but now i just love her attitude. She like a confident female hammond. Just imagine the other guys having such children who maybe put together a totally different car programm.
I’m really enjoying watching Maxwell and Izzy’s confidence growing with each new episode. They’re making Leaps and Bounds with every one. These are a cracking addition to the channel and work alongside Mikes more pettolhead vibes really well. There’s gonna be plenty of comparisons with her dad and that’s totally understandable but I’m looking forward to watching these 2 develop their own banter and their progression as presenters
Izzy following in her father's footsteps is making me cry harder than the upcoming last episode in September 30. 🥺🥺 Go on Richard Hammond's child! Make us proud! 😊😊
Really like this series. Would like to see Izzy do some mods to make cars fit her diminutive size better. Pedal extensions, seat height adjustments, whatever can be done to make a car fit her better. Common problem for a lot of people, on either end of the size spectrum. She's a trouper and just gets on with things, but would love to see some content around this. Not everyone is her dad's size and can fit in just about any car. Also maybe get her a step or box for the garage.
Izzy Hammond reminds me of Lia Block. To see these kids doing automotive things (and not just be pointless last name influencers) makes my heart happy. I support it.
Izzy is precious, but id love to have seen a wrap that looker more like her (cute, girly?) and less like an exact replica of the other napa mini. Like I'm sure they couldve done a gorgeous blue and yellow flower number!
I can't wait to see Izzy welding a WRX suspension back together somewhere in Africa on Top Gear 2050.
More like ratchet-strapping it lol
hahah yes
If Izzy has any sense, she will stay away from the BBC 😬
Hopefully closer to 2030.. some of us actually want to see if before we die
@LordJobby there's always amazon 😏
I bet Richard is so proud right now.
@ChasingMasons What’s so bad about being a proud dad?
I bet his bank account has gone in to free fall.
I agree with you @train_tok_man nothing wrong with being a proud dad, and I bet Richard truly is the definition of a proud dad right now 💚
seems like having talent for hosting a show is something you are born with as a Hammond
@ChasingMasonsWTF?
These two together, will make this a seriously big channel, love the vibe, and young Hammond is as silly and lovely as her dad,who entertained me for 20 plus yrs
Izzy continuing her father’s legacy is an amazing thing to witness

Getting quite teary eyed watching this after the trailer release for the guy’s last Grand Tour special. 😢 Seeing the next generation is 👏👏👏
Credit where its due. Ive really enjoyed the Direction that the channel has taken.
Agreed! I just re-subbed
I love how much Izzy is getting into the car scene and almost following Hammond’s footsteps. She’s great to watch too

I don't think anyone would ask as they stated it in the video.
She’s better at wrenching than Clarkson. 😂
You mean hammering
Clarkson only uses Hammers.
But so is an Orangutang.. Izzy is way better than that..
Low bar to overcome
to be fair he gets bored and it is dull and tedious...
I absolutely love how Izzy is throwing herself into upgrading her car, cant wait to see her ripping around some B roads in it
I absolutely love Izzy. I also love seeing her learning how to do some work on her car and showing people it’s possible to do your own work and not all automotive stuff is not difficult
The little _hop_ to close the hatch, after the battery installation, was *the best!*

If they ever rebooted top gear, Izzy would have my vote as one of the presenters. She is brilliant.
She's not.
@@johnphelan6623 Izzy is not what?
She’s not brilliant yet, still some way to go
@@FU2Max yes - she not brilliant. She’s trying too hard to be a clone of her dad imho

More Izzy!
She'll be running her own team soon!
When I'm working on my cars I sometimes wish someone would roll a trolley up full of all the exact parts I needed. That would be awesome.
It doesn't matter how it gets done, as long as it gets done in the end. 😊
Izzy is already a legend in my book
Definitely a natural
Young Hammond seems to be getting her feet under her in front of a camera. Well done!
She's really cute the shortness in the family turned out
I love how as each position you can start to see Izzy loving the idea of cars & doing some mechanical work
Izzy is born for television ❤

Where Izzy and Maxwell have a much better energy. It also nice that Maxwell isn’t scared of being honest to Izzy. They can stand on their own legs.
Maybe abit harsh. Mike is great too!
I like her more as a testdriver. After all Drivetribe's heritage is Top Gear, not Wheeler Dealers.
@@christophb2736 Nothing about this content or any of the content these two have done is remotely like Wheeler Dealers...
Mike would be "testing out clarksons dads old toaster!! "
Not trying to be rude, but this makes sense.
In all honesty, I thought Izzy was just a pretty face but I now got mad respect after seeing her mod her car
It's been fun watching her develop an interest for cars beyond fashion/commuting.
this mini would cost £ 30000 if it was sold in South East Asia. beautiful car.
and best wishes for this Channel!
That mini costs 30000+ in Portugal...

Izzy has a great personality
Nice seeing Izzy on here
Izzy is a natural ..well done 👌👏👏👏👏😍
Izzy is fantastic and I love watching her learn and grow in her car journey. Very relatable content.
Imagine a grand tour with the hammonds! Amazon get on it!
Might be the best Drivetribe video yet... this is cool.
It will be fun to watch Izzy learn to wrench on things, hopefully in the future she gets to work on some decent vehicles.
Izzy is a true woman. She is humble yet she is so knowledgeable in what she is passionate about. Just love her energy in these videos :)
Awesome to see her working on the cars, really cool experience to better understand how everything works
Really enjoyed this, great experience for Izzy and I know Richard is very proud.
Napa, Izzy and everyone else in this video did great!
Your presenting skill are Great, you are both naturals.
Izzy, the car looks absolutely brilliant! Keep doing what you do ‼️😎👍
Big up Lohen as they are super easy to buy from and give detail about their parts
i think at this point, Izzy has done more REAL work on a car (not just silly mods) than any of her dad's friends!
I mean that's just obviously nonsense. James May is VERY compentent mechanically and has decades of experience doing such things. And Clarkson may act the fool on television but I know if push came to shove he knows what he's doing.
Izzy, so much like her dad, i hope she does,a car show Izzy has,so much potential
Seeing the "HAMMOND" driver stickers, got me thinking... shouldn't one of the mods involve castors on the roof??? 🙂
Great seeing Maxwell and Izzy working together. Like the FORD branded clothes Izzy is wearing while working on the Mini
You go girl ! Can’t wait to see where this all goes. Track time will sharpen your skills and Stanley looks like he’s almost ready. Can’t wait to see what motor upgrades and tires you choose. Cheers guys!
great to see izzy getting stuck in to her new project and fixing her car with expert guidance cant wait to see her ragging it round a b road/ track
Looks amazing. Can’t wait for this to hit the track.
Not seen it but I'm hoping that braided lines and better fluid was part of the brake upgrade.
You'll still get shocking bad brake fade with stock brake fluid when it boils.
I said exactly the same
Izzy is actually a great presenter.
Izzy could be the new school Vicki Butler-Henderson at this rate. I’m here for it!
It took me a while but now i just love her attitude. She like a confident female hammond. Just imagine the other guys having such children who maybe put together a totally different car programm.
Seriously, how can you not adore this chick?
Brilliant well done Izzy, can't wait to see her face and reaction when it's completed.
Izzy seems right at home
Great vid Izzy - these MINI R53’s are ICONIC little performance cars - top choice and top mods!!!😈
I love these early iteration 2nd gen Minis, best looking by far and so perfectly designed. I had an 06 S it was loaded even sat nav.
What a great workteam they make

Great build can't wait to see Stanley on the track, racing against Richard 😂😂❤
Izzy following in her father's footsteps is making me cry harder than the upcoming last episode in September 30. 🥺🥺
Go on Richard Hammond's child! Make us proud! 😊😊
Loving this series :D

Izzy`s really commited to liking cars. This is very nice, when she first appeared in the channel she wasn`t much into it. Keep it up Izzy!
Brilliant and so entertaining from both of you.
Excellent video, team work.
You are certainly succeeding with your presenting skills Izzy, Hammond must be happy watching this :)
i would love to see a part 2 Izzy is a great mechanic
Mindy letting Izzy go racing I'm shoooketh 😂
Willow is into horses which is more dangerous
Cant wait to see how much muscle izzy ends up building up after this series. i mean this stuff isnt easy or light :D
She definitely put in the work. I can vouch for that. She's become so much more confident. Wait for the next episode, it only gets better. 😊
Heh, there should be a mobile "Izzy lift" a little platform that can roll around and raise about 3 feet high...
I Have to say been quite impressed with NAPA Recently..
Beautiful work Izzy
Happy to see her doing some wrenching. No better way to learn than doing.
Such respect to Izzy :) Keep going :D
Very cool going through the journey
I love seeing a budding petrol head
The apple has not fallen far from the (Richard) Hammond Tree, Izzy is a natural!
That wrap looks absolutely amazing 😍
There is a huuuuuuge legacy she had to sholder, but she is the hope, the new sun, and she is doing so very well.
'the hope, the new sun'? Reads like an overly-enthusiastic 13-year-old's attempt at creative writing...
Ji-Mini is actually a cool name for a Mini, I might steal that for mine.
Izzy doing more manual labour than Jeremy Clarkson ever has in 22 years lol. I love the fact shes not afraid to get stuck in
Love it hope she actually gets to compete in something now that would be amazing 🤩
As a Stanley myself, I approve of her name choice! 👍👍
great name!
Excellent video. André. 🤗
Stanley and Oliver, need a side by side picture. Old school comedy reference?
Just the intro... After watching the most recent trailer of GT... I'm sad, but at least we now have Izzy! Keep the Top Gear spirit going!
Cheers mate!
I genuinely love Izzy! She's great......gorgeous too
Cars looking ace 👍🏻
