Richard Hammond, co-host of Grand Tour and ex Upper Equipment presenter, no longer making a living just from driving cars, he also restores them in his repair shop, The Smallest Cog. In this video, Hamster takes a tour of space from six months ago and then reveals the changes.
Hammond has big plans for the upper area of the workshop. He wanted to turn it into a VIP area where he could meet potential clients. More mini themed fences need to decorate the space. It is also necessary to separate the bathroom from the bathroom at the bottom because it is always dirty.
Along the walls, he intended to build storage racks that would hold parts for every car The Smallest Cog recovered. In the first half of the video, the components are on the floor.
Hammond’s office is a simple place. The desk is from an old science classroom, complete with gas hardware. The walls are bare, and there are no shelves.
Then, the video jumps forward six months to show its progress. Hammond warned that he wanted bigger changes, but a lack of improvement because he was so busy.
The office now has shelves. Hammond still has a lot of stuff to wear.
The biggest change in six months is that the rack storage system is now installed. Unfortunately, Hammond does not provide tours of this setup.
The planned VIP area failed. Instead, a single space to produce videos for the current iteration DriveTribe. The other area is the production room for the people who make it Richard Hammond Workshopwhich is currently in its second season on Discovery+ in the UK.
Hammond sold three cars and five motorcycles from his collection to fund the creation of The Smallest Cog. These cars included a 1969 Porsche 911T, a 1959 Bentley, and a 1999 Lotus Esprit Sport 350.
Hammond still has some fantastic vehicles. He owns a 1968 Ford Mustang, Jaguar XK150, MGB GT, Buick Riviera, and many more.
