Hammond and Oliver

[Olliedfox]

i have the 'OLIVER' as my message tone. (my name is oliver)

[jenniferkelly89]

What a great song for this adorable video!

[schimmi1976]

OPEL QUALITY! OLIVER IS AT LEAST 45 YEARS OLD!!!

[diverseent]

perfect song LOLLL

[Shangas]

This is a beautiful video. 

[CrasHandCrusH]

1:08 i like jeremy's face

[TraustiGeir]

@CrasHandCrusH That was genuine shock and awe right there. XD

[333stuka]

too bad Oliver left after he got his British passport... :(

[camouflagecamaro99]

Oliver should of been in the movie cars, voice by richard himself!

[TraustiGeir]

@camouflagecamaro99 Now that would have been a great cameo.

[camouflagecamaro99]

@TraustiGeir It would of been!!

[sootyferrari65]

Yogscast OLIVEEEERR was a very good impression of this

[Tess1061]

Is Oliver the car that they put behind Richard's truck in the lorry episode? :O

[TraustiGeir]

@Tess1061 The very reason why he forfeited that challenge.

[MrCartman2578]

That song by Randy Newman fits the video perfectly.

[TDS10101]

I have to say, I normally hate music videos like this, I can never see the point in just looking at the person and not hearing what they are saying. However I grew up with the Toy Story movies, so that song makes me very nostalgic, and of course Hammond's relationship with Oliver was hilarious...this is just a long winded way of saying that this video makes my heart smile.

[spikelilgirl]

Oliver is a tough, little car! :)

[TheMoronmind]

OLIVER!!!! I LOVE YA'!!

[jamesmasterr]

he had the best car in the challenge...

[TeeGeeFan]

Richard Hammond makes me smile :)

[invaderzimgirl14]

[Juulx1]

Haha the part where richard is like 'Oh Oliver you've got a cold!' is hilarious and sooo cute!

[XxCarlieCullenxX]

Best TV Pairing eva!

[melissatipton]

That show is how my cat ,Oliver, got his name.

[Blaertj]

this is the best hammond and oliver video ever!!!!

[thequesomanishere]

1:50 ha

[mikewarns]

Had a 71 Datsun 510 wagon, automatic and solid rear axle, that was positively cheerful in Chicago's snow compared against America's best. Had a Plymouth (Mitsu) Champ 1400 4-spd that I thought was inappropriate for its surroundings until I paired it off against Chicago taxis, where 1st and 2nd found their home. It was an original Urban Bomber.

[vdochev]

OLIVER has soul!

[DreamFilledSkullProd]

lol I'm gonna name my first car Oliver. Or Hammond.

[Blondiiiieee1995]

Oliveeeeeeeer!

[Concordemoment]

The best noise we have heard in motoring all year was richard hammond when

[Welsper24]

[Sonicku]

OLIV3R!!! lol

little oliver never let hammond down during the Africa road challange on top gear it keeped running in dirt,mud, rocks sand, and many bumps and crashes, and when the little car was about to drown hammond stod by its side until the very end and a week after the trip Hammond shipped oliver back to the UK and restored it. and live happily ever after =D

[MrAndrewjs]

shitty song to go with this.

[dejamester]

I particularly like how, during the line "some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am" the camera pans over the dreaded Volkswagen!

Pretty much the best pairing of man, machine and song possible.

[scissorhandslove9]

Beautiful :D

Haha I loved that episode.

[katherinnnnne]

Jermey's face at 1:08 lmao

[katherinnnnne]

lol, the song suits ded well

[RenegadeOfSilence]

OLIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pvavmnpls]

This is simply awesome, thanks for the great job, I know Richard loved this car but who could have thought of presenting it this way outstanding and thank...I really totally enjoyed....phil

[gammadriver]

Anyone who saw the original show knew he should have brought Oliver home with him right there and then. I'm so glad Oliver did finally make the trip. What a classic car!

[Lynn15]

Adorable.

[misssnoopy44]

its an opal cadet i think

[madperson876]

Yeah, a 1964 one. Or 1963. I think that its a 1964.

[XSarabX]

Pretty sure it's a 63

[madperson876]

Oh, then he was wrong in an interview then. On one of them he said that it was a 1964 opel cadet!

[chridicandy]

it is a 1963 opal kadett

[madperson876]

@chridicandy

Thanks. He just confused me a little, because of on the actual program he said that it was a 1963, and then on an interview he said 1964!!!!

[chridicandy]

:O how did hammond get it wrong :L

[ruddyduck]

That is the cutest thing ever! Lovely lovely. I love those two.

[Blankfrack]

What a cool little video! Well done mate. Well done!

[davevl1983]

Oliver is a part of Hammonds new show , Richard Hammond's blast lab

[15elliotjohnson15]

I know and Olivers lights flash. Lol

[hamsterdance4lyf08]

And Honks His Horn When They Get It Wrong Lol. x x

[Tron9222]

[doodool101]

if oliver was a person hell be like arnold swarshnigga or summet and look like jennifer lopez

[CobaltBlueProduction]

.....

OTP indeed.

[Driever1981]

search for:

Werbung Opel Kadett A

this is the orignal commercial for the Opel Kadett A. It's in German though. He says: you don't need to lubricate it. It has plenty of room for four adults. It handles fantastic. It does 120 km/h easily.(=73 Mph) The Opel Kadett is, simpy put, OK!!

[lizzuneverknow]

that car seems to have so much personality, especially one that I saw on the telly

[PTKilowatt]

Its really hard not to like Oliver. Its got as much charm as any Beetle, and probably more since it carried Richard across Botswana without fail.

[Kerriangel]

its soo funny when Oliver gets freed by Jezza n May n hammond shouted "Go on oliver!!"

clarkson: What did u say??"

hamster: Umm. I love ya??

Clarkson n may: WDF??

[lizzuneverknow]

i bet if oliver were a person... he would be one handsome bloke

[hamsterdance4lyf08]

He Would Be A Sweet, Loving Person (;

[djypsydjazz]

That is a very cool and cute looking car. Hammond made a good find.

[Lozzaria996]

Hammond + Oliver 4 Eva <3

Realy Sweet Vid All 6 Ov Us Agree

[PTKilowatt]

I wonder if the entire family has taken to Oliver as much as Richard has.

[jbrady95]

HAMMOND AND OLIVER!! "You got a friend in me" i love it!

[MissHarpoMarx]

Oh bloody hell! xD

Youve got a friend in me. This is awsome. lol

[WouterJ]

Recently Hammond has "Oliver" restored and he even has a custom numberplate fitted which says "Olvr" Oliver already appeared in one of the new episodes.

[Lightshock16]

yeah, he couldnt do the hill climb because he was worried that he'd hurt poor Oliver! ^^

[stopglobalswarming]

thats stylish!

[SarahH993]

[SarahH993]

[TOMMASCRAWLEY]

[muppet118]

Yay!!!!

[FLJuJitsu]

I loved how the other two cars ended up getting cut up but "Oliver" finished just as it started, even after going for a swim.

[StoliDassah]

this is so hilarious! the song fit so well.

[WanderingPaladin]

Hammond's expression when he pokes Oliver's horn for the first time never fails to crack me up.

"Happiest car in the world" indeed! :D

[boka70]

Oliver is an Opel Kadett A, GMs first Beetle-Killer on the European Market in 1962-65, built in Bochum, Germany (where i'm from)

[LifeOnMarsGal]

[thequietpilot06]

what car is dat??

I want 1

[winfjacobs]

It's an Opel Kadett (first generation, built around 1965)

[TGseason10]

1962-1965

[angrystanmotion]

Oliver is a 1963 Opel Kadett with the 40 BHP engine. This car was purchased for Hammond in Johannesburg for an episode during which the lads drove through Botswana. Throughout the episode it retains its South African number plates.

Hammond was so fond of the car he purchased it from the BBC and imported it into the UK at allegedly exorbitant expense. In the last Top Gear of the series Oliver appeared in the studio.

[paul4990]

how do you know all this!

[angrystanmotion]

All cars used in TG adventures registered as property of the Beeb in countries in which the BBC has some kind of presence. Presumably a BBC staffer was sent out to acquire cars within certain specifications in a city in which the Corporation has a presence, Johannesburg, where all three cars were registered during the filming of Series 10, Episode 5.

The rest of the information was explicitly revealed during the course of either this or subsequent Top Gear episodes.

[derangedirishangel]

hamster shouting "oliver!!!!" when he was sinking was the best noise of 2007 according to the TG awards!!!!

[WannabeBallerina]

That was absolutely hilarious! =)

[chocolatino07]

That moment...omg...lol OLVIERR!!! someone make a video about that pleeees....
