Richard Hammond's Quotes

  • Now, personally, I like a car with some sort of character.
  • No action hero is more closely associated with cars than James Bond.
  • It's not just the kid who's spent every penny from his job to upgrade his car to tell the world he cares about sports cars, it's also the person driving around in a fuel-conscious hybrid electric car, because it's more a message to the world than an effective means of saving fuel, to be quite honest.
  • And I like pygmy goats, because they're just lovely, and ducks.
  • I like to think that my arrogance, impetuosity, impatience, selfishness and greed are the qualities that make me the loveable chap I am.
