Remember when we told you guys Richard Hammond has randomly created a YouTube account because apparently he is bored? Well, after posting videos with himself herding sheep he did eventually promised fans a video with an actual car will soon emerge. The two-minute clip has nothing to do with Top Gear, but it is funny, we’ll give him that.
Several rumors emerged in the industry, but there’s nothing official quite yet. Will there be a new car show reuniting the band? Will Jeremy Clarkson take a separate, single-gig path? There’s nothing clear so far, other than the fact both May and Hammond are selling some of their assets while Clarkson is working on “his new child”.
The duo’s bike sale at the Bonhams Auction topped £2.2 million ($3.33) the other day, but that doesn't mean the former Top Gear mates aren't bored. They might be unemployed, but at least one thing is sure, Hammond has not lost his humor.
The video below shows a goatee-ed Richard starting the engine of his 1931 Lagonda 2-liter supercharged tourer and going for a ride.
The former BBC employee doesn’t say much about the vehicle, in fact, he doesn’t say much at all. Hammond admits this doesn’t truly stand as a car show, but the car “sort of” is a car. It's not the first time we see The Hamster playing around with the peculiar classic breed. He admitted it's a piece of historic machinery that needs the owner’s full attention ever since he bought it.
“I’m hoping to book a few hours with a local specialist to learn not just how to drive the thing but how to maintain it. There are things that need to be greased, topped-up, tweaked and drained at astonishingly regular intervals,” Hammond wrote in the Daily Record, last year.
We don’t know about you guys, but the Top Gear show is starting to be missed in these parts of the auto world, so these people better start rolling the cameras.
