    I can remember doing a show with you on men and motor's where we tried three cars to drive to see which one i would buy, I wanted a tvr at the time. Sadly you couldn't find a tvr so it was your air-cooled Porsche 911 (Which I hit the camera man with, I thought I was in reverse but sadly I was in first) a Marcus, and a caterham 7. I did buy the tvr, but I should have bought the air-cooled Porsche 911 it would have been worth a fortune now.... opps 😔 also it was about 2002 not 1999 when you joined top gear, I can remember when talking to you on that day you were being considered and hopping to get the top gear job, I have been watching you ever since

    Ahh, telly nostalgia, I remember Richard doing Men & Motors, it was entertaining stuff, at a time when Top Gear was the only car show on national TV, and quite staid too. Richard was in fact a pioneer, as the shows were clearly just him, and a bloke with a camcorder, shooting everything in an couple of hours, often in the rain... In fact, it was mostly similar 'content' to what is on TH-cam today, bloke talking to his phone, but years before TH-cam even existed! Richard mate, everyone is still copying you!

    As someone who watches a lot of Top Gear on DAVE, it's strange to see how much Hammond has aged. He's aged well. But I don't always notice it thanks to endless reruns.

    Ah men, what a great video, what a trip by the side of the great Richard Hammond. I enjoyed every second of it. I love these guys so much, it's just incredible.

    I still rewatch topgear seasons, and it's so wild to see Hammond aged up in this video.

    If James and Jeremy did this that'd be neat.
    OR if Jeremy and James watched these videos of Richard Hammond together. Either or, your pick.

    I absolutely love this video! The first time I saw Richard was when he reviewed the VFR400 on 2 Wheels on M&M, I loved him from that moment! I also remember his review of a Kawasaki Drifter and his 2 part Oulton Park track day experience. All pivotal moments in making me a fan of his. When he secured the Top Gear job I was so excited for him, I knew he would be great. I used to watch old TG and Driven too so I knew of Clarkson and May as well, TG was just the best! Richard has always had a brilliant presenting style, and seeing him react to himself was so cute, he's not changed at all! I remember those shirts very well 😂. I hope to see a part 2 to this, including some old motorbike reviews please 😁

  • @Donmenon
    @Donmenon 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    This was a missed opportunity in some ways. I would have loved to see his reaction to reviewing cars like the Perodua Kelisa or Proton Impian. Cars which they later mercilessly bashed on TG. Hoping for a Part 2.

    I do remember those days as I'm getting old too, I used to love watching Men and Motors and Bravo back when they were on the air.
    Richard you weren't terrible, you were young and getting used to it and if you hadn't done it we would've lost out on some great Television.

  • @CaptainHoratioPugwash
    @CaptainHoratioPugwash 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    This was great, it felt a lot more genuine than the others. I guess whoever put these clips together for him to watch didn't find the Renault Aventime review he did back then, it was proper weird. ACHOO!

    I remember you reviewing an old motorbike that I owned, the Honda ST1100. I've got an ST1300 now and both were absolutely smashing bikes, and utterly indestructibly reliable.

    You have to give it to Richard, is presenting style has been consistent and just as funny then as he is now..... And he hasn't changed one bit, apart from his hairstyle 😂

    Richard,I am older than you (64) so you look young today and even younger way way back when. The two cars i recall you reviewing , for no reason, was the Scenic 4x4 and a Rav 4. I remember at the end of one review , not sure which car, you said you would consider buying one with your own cash !

  • @bghoody5665
    @bghoody5665 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This is pretty funny because I've been watching a lot of Hammond's reviews on men and motors recently (including most of the clips he used) and was wondering to myself if he had ever re-visited them. Hilarious.

  • @thowell3129
    @thowell3129 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Hammond (or actually any TV personality) was lucky that he started his career at a time before social media existed when viewers were not able to comment or sh** on the videos and thus accuracy of information was not as critical as today when all you need is for one viewer to point out an error for the whole world to turn against you

    “What do you know, you’re only 7!”
    Hammond if you see this you were always my favorite in top gear when I was a kid! Clarkson is now on a farming spree and May is bumping his Honda through London 🤣🤣 how times changed
