It’s like I’m watching a Discovery channel show where there’s something being discussed, and I can’t tell what it is because they insist on having SIK RIFFZ playing in the background endlessly.
Yeah he’s modernised it a bit but it’s still Oliver. It’s got modern brakes and stuff but it’s the definition of unreliable. But he taught his daughters to drive in it

@@anthony2816 and also that whole special was pretty lame. They said Hammond was out in the middle of nowhere but James and Jeremy stayed in a hotel that was 10 minutes away from where Hammond was....Yea it's all for fun
@@Snark900 I implore you to rewatch that episode. Especially the end where Jeremy explains how he just stayed at a hotel and how Hammond is 10 minutes away from said hotel. Its subtle but glaring at the same time
In the bolivia special, Jeremy left you two alone with the brocken Landcruiser and survived the deadliest road in the world. You and May had to Drive there at night, so how did you survive it? They didn't really show that in the special.
These three men have travelled the length and breadth of the world. Just stating a fact here. I think they have shown us more of the world more than any other tv show.
Hamster I am so proud of you for keeping Oliver. I remember you during that adventure saying you were going to keep him but I just thought 'they always say that those telly stars....' But then I saw your lockdown tour of the yard and there he was in all his glory. First time I'd seen him since the adventure hit our screens. Nice one mate......
They must have used the mixer from the early TG seasons. Lol. That always irritated me when they had the music and car sounds drowning out the voiceovers.
I remember the Bolivia one. "There's something in here. Its SQUEAKING at me!" I don't know why but Richard reminded me of Richie from Bottom when he was waving his arms around shouting "I can't stand that. I've gotta get out!" LOL
I think it's because he's a bit more humble. The other two tell interesting stories but always have to make a joke or be a bit mean to someone else while telling it. That is funny a lot of the time, but does mean that Hammond's stories are more relatable.
Amnesia is strange. Obviously what you don't remember at all is just gone and you can't miss it. But most of it is not as simple as totally lost or there, which is 'entertaining'. The brain tries to claim what it can, so if you have parts of a memory it will try to fill in the gaps. You also end up with memories where you are actually remembering what others have told you which doesn't always agree and gets confusing when your brain has tried patching you into it. The most bizarre part I have noticed is that your brain puts you in the constructed memory at the age you are then. So you can play back a partially constructed childhood memory where you become an adult for a section, which is your only clue. This is personal experience, others will have encountered different symptoms that either I didn't or didn't realise until it was pointed out.
Heck yes. This was going to be my last video before going to bed, but it ended with THAT story. And so, being an arachnophobe, it's now the small hours of the morning and I've never been more awake!
I could probably listen to all three of them just talk about their memories and reliving their experiences for hours. Such a huge part of my life growing up and I always felt like I was the unnoticeable fourth member, it’d be like reliving my youth again.
My first introduction to Top Gear was the Botswana special and I thought " I love these three nincompoops together!" and have been a fan ever since. I love that Hammond still has Oliver. To this day when I lose something important to me - whether car keys or a plant that dies I scream "OLIVER!"
How much stick did you give Jeremy when the whole "leaving top gear" thing happened? That whole situation has bugged me for years as to what actually happened
@gofa curself BBC have rules so put your hands on a producer the results are instant dismissal, but you can put your hands on kiddys expect everyone to turn a blind eye followed by promotions Im glad BBC lost the best show in the world
Thanks you so much for all the great shows. They have been a joy to experience all over again during this pandemic. Bless you guys, be safe...and thanks again!
That was a really great episode it became quite emotional at the end with Jeremy shedding a few tears at how well they'd managed to do considering the problems they'd had if I remember correctly.
I wish more of the drive tribe episodes were like this. Also, I'm going through withdrawals because it's been so long since I've seen a new episode of the grand tour.
@@PetarJovanovic993 I think by now I've seen every season of Top Gear (the seasons with Jeremy and co. ) at least 3 times. It's possible I'm addicted to the show lol.
I want to hear more from Hammond, in fact i could watch him speak for hours like we already do in his BIG series and all of the other bits and pieces. Hammond tell us more about these stories of spiders and insects that motorboat on your face. Also your bits that you made on your home were brilliant. Evrything is welcome.
the best top gear bit that was edited out was richard and james driving upto the north of scotland in the porche and when you both kept turning on each others heated seats to full blast when yous were not looking, thats a hilarous video
It's weird hearing new stuff of something you've watched a thousand times! Really like those tales Richard. Would like more of this, from the others as well.
‘Favourite segment of tv you’ve ever made?’ ‘I was driving a lotus...’ Suddenly remembers it was filmed on top gear and not the grand tour ‘Oh no I dunno, I don’t have favourites’
Richard Hammond is a great TV presenter and he has done A LOT of shows, I watched a lot of the kids science stuff when I was younger, total wipeout, top gear and his engineering stuff. I've got respect for that.
Stories like these are brilliant! Especially as we (all) know the episodes/specials you’re on about with TG and GT. it’s fun listening to your other tales too! 👍🏼
I remember once in South America when you were elevated and were running out of oxygen. I lungs actually began to ache. (I think it was So. Am.) You guys always make me smile.
Actually his streak of not being fired is still going I think. Technically he was never fired from the BBC. They just let his contract expire and then chose not to renew it.
how did I miss this? the behind the scenes stories are great. More from all of them would be nice, Also just having the un edited version to go and watch would be amazing.
![[[OFFICIAL MV]] เอิ้นขวัญให้อ้าย- อ๊ะอาย สกุณาพร | ค่ายเพลงเป็นหนึ่ง](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/83x6L3X3qh0/mqdefault.jpg)
If they released the full unedited top gear/grand tour I'd so totally watch it and buy it as well.
I feel that it is a lot like "We want an unscripted episode"
Yes gonna buy it to pay homage to the Trinity
@@ariuss3009 hahahahahaha maybe some behind the scenes?
I would love to watch that!!!
Hope they do
Dear drivetribe:
Music is not necesary.
Thankyou
100% agree
lower volume on music. I could hardly hear Hammond.
I can barely hear him over the music
I agree that it should be lower volume and maybe better music lol, but I like the music.
@Jack Axton the actual talking it's more important 😂
Sadly we didn't see much of him in that polar exploration
Only because he was on a sled and not in the car. But I thought they showed quite a bit actually of his journey. Considering it’s Top Gear
True we didn't, but he is very small and was often quite far away.
Yeah really sad
His sled was too short
its a car show, he was not in a car, 90 of what he did was silently staring at dogs rear ends.
The music is too loud, especially since he speaks kind of quietly
It's like they're new to making videos
I can hear clearly, But yes it is too loud.
It’s comments like these that make this world a better place!
Reminiscent of the old TG days (2013?) when the videos they'd post on youtube had hoooorrrible music and voice volumes so you couldn't hear anything.
It’s like I’m watching a Discovery channel show where there’s something being discussed, and I can’t tell what it is because they insist on having SIK RIFFZ playing in the background endlessly.
Can’t believe he still has Oliver, such an iconic car lol
there are a bunch of videos on it around yt
He showed sebastian vettel his oliver when they met in a gas station.
@@majortom4543 i remember that very akward
My honda was in a paint shop next to Oliver in Wales. Useless fact for you there.lol.
Yeah he’s modernised it a bit but it’s still Oliver. It’s got modern brakes and stuff but it’s the definition of unreliable. But he taught his daughters to drive in it
It'd be cool if I could hear Richard instead of this non-branded never-ending guitar
I feel like terrible audio mixing has always been a staple of anything Top Gear related.
but that guy is shredding bro!
@@DeanoTXR53 straight up got that new newnew newnenwenwnenewn new
It’s seriously annoying whenever sound editors do this. I’m watching it to hear the person talk, not for Walmart brand bass guitarist.
yeah. glad it wasn't just me. decent riff, sure, but...
I had to turn my phone upside down to get the full Richard Hammond experience
Try re-watching while flipping your phone over and over. Takes it to a whole new level.
I vote you to the best commend of the week
Let me guess, Australia
@@dominuscircensis3645 No its because he crashes a lot and is either in his roof or rolling down a mountain.
Are you Clarkson by chance? Lol
Worst experience: "all the bits where I was conscious and they were there"
No one would ever replace them
When he said "talking to a mop with a face on it", I thought he was talking about James.
I can totally picture that
If you have watched it or not top gear did a video with lego back in the day where james may lost his hair peice so he put a mop on his head instead
@@ryanjohnson4895 lol I remember that
Shame 😂
And I assumed he meant Jeremy. Maybe "mop with a face drawn on it" is James and "mop with a face drawn badly on it" is Jeremy.
Whoever did the mastering for the audio for this video, you’ve gotta bring the music down man. I can barely hear Richard in parts
This is just like 00s Top Gear :D
Audio engineer should turn down the music even more...
it's unnecessary
Probably the same guy from French special on top gear
Agree. Distracting and irritating.
Yeah, Hammond's voice is too soft and husky when he's being interviewed by himself
i've noticed most of the drive tribe videos have bad sound. they should listen to these on headphones before posting them
Meanwhile on Spider TV: "I mean, it was great stressing him out for those 8 hours."
WebGear you meant
🤣🤣🤣
@@nasilemak868 Tonight on WebGear: Pincer necrotizes flesh of a sheep, Weaver catches a juicy cricket and I'm stressing out an unusually small human for 8 hours straight.
Hammond: *Is terrified of insects*
Also Hammond: *Brings open topped car to the Bolivian Jungle*
To be fair, spiders aren't insects, so that makes it perfectly fine.
@@insane_troll Alright, insects and arachnids then
If I remember correctly he wasn't aware of that shoddy soft top conversion when he bought it long distance ^^
@General Rico and that Jeremy's land rover had a V8
PhazonLord 4337 it was a 3.5 not a 3.9 still a v8 though
My favorite moment is when Richard rejoined the team after his first crash. It was emotional and epic.
Turn down the music lads
And actually focus the camera on his face.
Honestly, a lot of vids on this channel have horrible sound design. Come on!
They must have poached the sound editor from the BBC
no hate on the boys that make these but i do agree for next time itd be an improvement
Who are the music lads?
I love how they always say the worst part of making stuff together is being together. Who are they fooling, we all know they love each other.
They do but they spend weeks and weeks together in usually not very nice environments. There's going to be tension and they'll get sick of each other
one can only truly hate something if one has loved it first
It's a tragedy how little they showed of Hammond in the Polar Special
Probably because it's a car show, and he didn't have a car.
@@anthony2816 and also that whole special was pretty lame. They said Hammond was out in the middle of nowhere but James and Jeremy stayed in a hotel that was 10 minutes away from where Hammond was....Yea it's all for fun
pyrotechnick Are you thinking of the episode where Hammond was stuck on a mountain? There’s very few hotels in the Arctic, none that I know of.
@@Snark900 I implore you to rewatch that episode. Especially the end where Jeremy explains how he just stayed at a hotel and how Hammond is 10 minutes away from said hotel. Its subtle but glaring at the same time
pyrotechnick you’re thinking of the wrong special. The Polar Special is a race between a snow sled and a car across the arctic
He's whispering, and then they put guitar music over his voice.
In the bolivia special, Jeremy left you two alone with the brocken Landcruiser and survived the deadliest road in the world. You and May had to Drive there at night, so how did you survive it? They didn't really show that in the special.
To be fair, he did mourn them
@@Vibakari I think it was actually harder for Jezza due to the mental anguish of not knowing.
• • • 😂😂😂😂😂
That Cruiser would not have been fun up there
They didn't survive. Replaced by robots.
These three men have travelled the length and breadth of the world. Just stating a fact here. I think they have shown us more of the world more than any other tv show.
Hammond:I had a colossal accident
Everyone:why am I not suprised
Well... some might say Hamster is sort of an expert when it comes to colossal accidents ;)
Being small, everything becomes colossal very quick.
take away the terrible background music, why would you play music over him speaking?
Mood
The disrespect
The disrespect
They hate Hammond and their fans, that’s why
@@mik3ymomo Can confirm. I hate myself too and know I deserve it.
We just need Hammond telling stories while the other two sit quietly in the background and cant respond verbally to what he says
No, put the other two behind a soundproof glass. So we can see their reaction but hammond wouldnt be bothered.
@General Rico "to show you the power of flex tape..."
@@regularbloke2117 and you think this would stop Jezza from being an ape behind glas? XD come one xD we know how he can act
@@DiegoKawasaka I think that's the idea.
How’d I just realize that the initials for Grand Tour are just Top Gear’s backwards?!?
Yep top gear is tg and the grand tour is tgt which is very similar
Me too. ... ..

Ohh "that" sound engineer is back! :/
The guy that's plays unnecessarily loud music in the background?
He prolly did the sound for the gin video too /s
People from the koeninsegg Volvo S60R and Vanquish videos from series 1 and 2 will relate.
"I CANT STAND THAT, I CANT STAND THAT, IVE GOT TO GET OUT!"
Somethings in here squeaking at me!!!!!
Come on, who's got my trouser leg?
Its know locally as the great big killer snake
Hammond could make an hour version of these stories and it would be one of the best videos on YT.
"I had a colossal accident"
of course you did, Hammond
Oh come on the guitar is driving out Hammonds voice can hardly hear him in places. Sort the mix out please
They must have used the mixer from the early TG seasons. Lol. That always irritated me when they had the music and car sounds drowning out the voiceovers.
When they left TG, they brought the TG's sound editor with them.

Just imagine the stuff we haven't seen from all the years of TG and TGT.
Would be great to see some of the unseen footage, Richard in the artic, Bolivia etc.. behind the scenes, what it was really like to make tg/gt.
This was amazing. Hammoond is just the greatest anytime he is on something. His voice is perfect for talking
2:15 - Botswana has been my home for two years now, live in the Okavango Delta. The Pans are also amazing - its my most favourite place in the world.
They found the time to include him having a weep if you remember!
where in Bolivia or Botswana?
North Pole trip
They should just do a special filmed from his experience of dealing with the other two, and mostly crying.
I'm from and Live in Botswana. Always happy to hear that the Botswana Special was the best.
Imagine having these memories
Still amazed he has any he has so many accidents.
What: 'ground/sky/ground/sky/GROUND'?
U can’t even hear him all u hear is the music

@gofa curself Jesus that comment took a turn
Love when the guys take some time to film these random segments. I just finished watching The Grand Tour for the second time.
Hammond was always my favourite out of the three
Thanks you so much for all the great shows. They have been a joy to experience all over again during this pandemic. Bless you guys, be safe...and thanks again!
One of my favorite is when they dropped you on a mountain in Canada and Jeremy and captain slow got in there pickups and had to find you.
All I can hear is Clarkson screaming "HAMMOND YOU IDIOT!!"
The music was drowning out the speech a bit on this.
Agreed
That's american TV for you.
*a bit*
I love TG/GT. I love any behind the scene stories. My favorite TG episode was the 24 hr endurance with the diesel BMW.
That was a really great episode it became quite emotional at the end with Jeremy shedding a few tears at how well they'd managed to do considering the problems they'd had if I remember correctly.

Angus McKinnon yes lol, but they probably argue, because of the hot weather, like they did, in the Colombia special. 👍

Always a pleasure to hear from Richard Hammond! All the TG/GT guys are awesome!!

He was asked to play as Tyrion Lannister in the Game of Thrones but turned it down.
Not true, I heard he came up a little short.

I was never given to think of Hammond as such an animated gesticulator. I think he bruised my eyebrow.
