    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 RUclips today, bloke talking to his phone, but years before RUclips 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.

    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 😂

    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 😁

    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.

    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 !
