    what a humble guy that Hammond is! If I were Mat, I would be so anxious and nervous about "what if he is bored" "what if he is getting tired of all this rebuild car talk" but Hammond was genuinly interested and happy to be chatting, miss old Top Gear days!

    “Of course it stands out it’s a bright green Lamborghini you pillock” Hammond your Top Gear is showing 😂😂 He is just effortlessly a legend. Anytime we’ve seen any of the trio outside of TG it’s just so clear it came so naturally to them; just down-to-earth, humble and authentic despite their stratospheric success. You almost get the feeling they still don’t fully understand the impact they had on a generation and an industry…how lucky we all were to grow up with them! It must’ve been surreal for you Mat, hope you two get together more!

    11:30 if you pause immediately…
    You’ll see the most beautiful sight of a fathers delight to see his son where he is. That’s enough to about make me tear up. I lost my dad on
    February ,14 2009 … I’d give a lot to have him see his grandkids he never got too meet. Or be there for my wedding. Certainly not a sob story everybody. This is just a sight that not everyone gets as well.
    Tony is a great man. He’s done fantastic raising Matt. And their bond is un breakable.
    God you’re blessed man.
    I just wanted to point it out but it brought me somewhere at the same time in my mind
    It’s why we enjoy these sort of videos.
    But idk if Matt or anyone else noticed because the camera turns so quickly, you can’t see it.
    But that’s a powerful thing to see.
    You can almost see the gleem in his eyes.
    God bless you guys. 🙏 Thank again.

There is always and will always be a part of me that is fascinated with these cars, the look and the sound, the sheer extravagance. ( the tremendous overpricing ) There's something comforting and wholesome in the knowledge that somewhere over there in England you are bombing around in this great green beast that against all odds you and your team have resurrected from the dead! We are proud of you and your team! Say hi to them for us, if you would please. Cheers!

Some new format on UA-cam doing a rebuild together from sourcing to finishing the car would be a delight to watch. Also, how Hammond humor never gets old, and he definitely still got that charisma from TG and British whit which made him who he is today! Great watch and look forward to the possibility of future ventures.

    You never get Hammond any other way. Find him calming to watch. Seems completely genuine and interested in engaging with folk

    My old Rover 220GTi use to do that rev hunting and was worse when cold. It was a caused by a combination of the throttle body and the ECU, got a new set from a breakers that solved the issue. I forget if you fitted new throttle bodies or used ones as it was a while back. If they were used did you give them a service before fitting? ensure there is no air leak on the intake flaps, one of my old MG ZS's flap would do random things on the throttle due to the flap. After a good clean and lubrication it was sorted.
