Shortly after this video was taken, some weird-looking small guy in a blue-and-red costume with web patterns all over it beat the living crap out of Richard Hammond. Then he swung away on a sticky rope that he apparently shot out of his wrist.

Much like Richard Hammond, I do loves me a Zonda. It gets the adrenaline pumping just to LOOK at it!

I find him endlessly entertaining, although to say he's 'still ripping the shit out of Richard Hammond' is a bit much as this is obviously an interview from before they came back on air after the accident, so it's quite old.

But I love all of his other shows that he does (The toys one, the wine one, the big ideas one, the history of stuff one... he's done a few )

And if Jay wants to have a show, let him do something where he'd be genuinely interesting and let him host an American Top Gear.

Yes! Awesome. So who would be Richard Hammond and who would be James May?


Oh, there's so many American "celebrity" petrol heads, we could make a list a mile long!

To go the same route as the UK TG, we'd want to find people with a passion for cars, a minor amount of fame dealing with cars, and a career in which becoming the co-host of a TV series won't conflict.

It's too hard to pick people as stand-ins for the Top Gear boys, the three of them work so well together, that chemistry would be hard to match.

My suggestions: Jay Leno, Paul Walker (his career is mediocre) or Frankie Muniz (stopped acting several years ago to become a pro race driver), and Jalopnik's Ray Wert.

Here! Me! Take me! Here! Ding ding ding! Heeeeelloooooooo! I volunteer!

...as Hammond that is. Seriously, who would want to be May?

Fixed, thanks for the note and the working embed.

When the nun sees the monster truck for the first time Richard Hammond should have turned to her and said "Where's your God now?"

to paraphrase Richard Hammond, that drop is long enough, you can probably call the insurance company on the way down.

Hmmmph. And here I was hoping you were going to come out as being Richard Hammond.

Hey, thanks

*promote. It is Richard hammond after all!

You're v. welcome, a couple of your vids caught my eye and I had two powerpoints to fire off quickly.

I was just as shocked about that one too.

Thanks for the promote! I was shocked that this one only picked up 3 votes.
