PETROL head Richard Hammond goes from Top Gear to toff gear as he dresses as a huntsman for the hit car show.

The pint-sized presenter – dubbed Hamster – was snapped grinning as he rode through the Gloucestershire countryside in a mock-hunt.

Hammond, 38, and his fellow huntsmen were filmed chasing a car painted like a fox for the BBC show.

A witness said: “Richard is obviously more comfortable behind a wheel than on the back of a horse.”

Fox hunting?

See Clarkson, that's what we Americans think of when we think of British people. images/smilies/wink.gif

He's so small, he's like a 13 year old. Look at his widdle legs! images/smilies/lol.gif

Like he's riding his pony to chuckie cheese's (where a kid can be a kid) for his birthday! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

eldiaoble · April 21st, 2008, 07:02 AM

at least hes riding something that is bigger than him. The last time he was on an animal it was a mule for his grail program. That picture was funnier than this pic, but this one isnt bad either.

No doubt about it.

I suspect Richard will get some stick from Clarkson and May for those jodhpurs images/smilies/lol.gif

That's one big horse!
Or just a pony and one small Hammond

Do you know my boyfriend just said the same thing when I showed him images/smilies/lol.gif

I am still thinking he looks totally adorable. It must be a girl thing.

MattD1zzl3 · April 22nd, 2008, 02:13 PM

He's got little stubbly legs like a toddler images/smilies/lol.gif

I always thought he was short, but his proportions are a little unusual, maybe he might have some kind of mild form of dwarfism.

That would make him a bona fide "little person" images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Mr. Nice · April 22nd, 2008, 02:28 PM

Maybe he should consider becoming a Jockey lol!

Gman333-X-ferrari · April 22nd, 2008, 02:43 PM

Although the proportions of Hammond's body whilst riding a horse is extremely important, I fear that this "huntsmen chasing a car painted like a fox mock-hunt" challenge will be another disappointment. (i.e remember the V8 Vantage vs. the man on roller skates segment?) I fear this "fox hunt" will be another such pointless "challenge".

Sure these segments are amusing - once - but I'd rather not have them at all.

But that said, once the new season of Top Gear begins, my fierce loyalty will make me forget about such trivial issues. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Your thoughts?

MattD1zzl3 · April 22nd, 2008, 02:47 PM

I think top gear needs to be more like fifth gear, thats my thought. images/smilies/cool.gif

NooDle · April 22nd, 2008, 03:34 PM

Pointless challenges are what makes top gear so cool!

the man in rollerskates bit wasn't that funny, but then again it lasted only a couple of minutes.
Having the other 2 poke fun at Hammond on a tiny horsie, now THAT I want to see!

Tranquillizer · April 22nd, 2008, 04:48 PM

i thoguht he was not easy with horses.

And Fifth Gear needs to be more like Top Gear.

I'm totally down with your thinking. images/smilies/wink.gif

Ehh, I dunno... Top gear season 10 was pretty sad for those of us who like the reviews more then the challenges (just when we thought season 9 was rock bottom).

Now that the presenting duo of Vicky and Tom ford are finding their chemestry and they are getting into a formula that works great, fifth gear is easially more fun to watch than top gear, which by the last 3 episodes of the season i was just sort of skimming over for interesting bits, skipping a little less than half of the segments.

If you honestly care about Motorhome racing and Channel crossings, top gear is the show for you, but i'm more interested in how the new Impreza STi compares to the old one.

Vector · April 24th, 2008, 04:25 PM

That's fine, just watch 5th gear then if you're so happy with it. No need for Top Gear to be a 5th Gear clone though.

To be honest, I would watch Top Gear even if it weren't about cars. I watch it for the presenters, the humor, the style. It's a fun show.
