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 KZread today, bloke talking to his phone, but years before KZread even existed! Richard mate, everyone is still copying you!

As weird as it must have been watching yourself presenting cars over 20 years ago, I think those vintage videos are still a treat especially when shopping for a now classic/youngtimer. When searching for my current car, a 2003 Z4 3.0i, a review done by you + a comparative review with JM & JC truly helped in the pursuit of the purchase 👍🏽 It's that enthusiasm that keeps you gripped to Top Gear & The Grand Tour for so many years 👏🏽

amazing to watch this, great thought by drivetribe to do this, and now we need like this from clarkson and james !!

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.

Loved your Clio V6 on men & motors. Still watch every now & then

More of this! Would love to see all the 3 reacting to early Top Gear episodes aswell!

1:38 "How would you know? You're only seven!" Well said by an eternal 35 year-old

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.

I watched many of those here ( on KZread ) over the years. Hammond never change. This are the exact responses I have when I watch videos of myself from 15 years ego.

I think it needs the 3 of them together to roast each other’s early careers! Imagine the laughs there

Richard, your reviews from anytime are the best of anyone on Top Gear. Or anyone ever.

Bro i need more the legend watching him self grow

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 😁

They need to do this with Clarkson and May now!

Ha, Richard's reaction to himself talking is exactly how I yell at myself when I look back at my old work! MOOD!

Richard, as an American viewer, you are another National Treasure of England’s entertainment industry and, so far, I have enjoyed every show I have seen you in! Thank You immensely for being the great Englishman that you are.👍

3:00 This is such a treat for golden age top gear and grand tour fans. Oh I hope Clarkson and May see this

All the while I could imagine Jeremy yelling Hammond what are you doing!

I had NTL cable TV when men an motors was on. I remember watching that back in the day.

no matter what i still love the trio and always will

Loved the Morgan V8... Richard, you're great talking about Cars! Love Top Gear, love Grand Tour... I'm a long time Gear head... Miss seeing May, Jeremy and You doing your thing with cars! Take care!! and Cheers!!

“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

I was just thinking about this, if he remembered any of his old shows, so great timing

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.
