Watch the new series of Richard Hammond's Workshop in the UK: bit.ly/Richard-Hammond-RH-FB-H8

I've been really enjoying the show and can't help but get the feeling none of this would have been possible if Clarkson hadn't punched that guy in the face.

It's not just the cars, they're absolutely fascinating in themselves, it's Neil's *sparkle* that's endearing. It was a cathartic day when Hammond first crossed paths with him.

I am glad to see The Smallest Cog is doing well as a business.

One thing about Richard is he is a real car /bike enthusiast, and the same goes for the people working there .Remember him before he got famous on the Men Motors channel must be late 90s

Why is it just so satisfying too hear a door shut like that alvis door.

Neil is such an absolute LEGEND. His passion is so infectious and I love hearing him talk his craft.

Funny how Richard is the only one of the trio whose post-TG/GT business is still in cars.

I started watching Top Gear in 2006 in Huntington Beach, Ca USA 🇺🇸 i had broken my back in 2005 so there was a lot of bed time. Came across the show on BBC America and was in love within the first half! Thank you boys for all the content. Carry on and keep killing it weather together or your own show. We'll see you on Grand Tour!!!! YEW🤙❤ Greg⭐

Great tour; Neil's commentary was very engaging and enjoyable. Drivetribe's content as of late has been top notch. Keep up the great work.

'A leap of faith an' a big 'ammer'! Perfect motto for the Smallest Cog!

Please make more of these workshop catch-ups with the Greenhouse family working their magic, listening to Neil explain everything in detail was great! 👍

If the Tercel was originally a JDM car it would have had the side mirrors mounted on the wings/fenders, not up by the side windows. I remember lots of those cars being imported into Ireland back in the '90s.

Ash, nails, brass and the finest door closing sound ever , whadda car! Proper job !

The holes on the Tercel's wings are likely for fender mirrors, which are still a thing in Japan. It's likely that the mirrors were swapped out for door mirrors when it was imported into Sri Lanka.

How lovely is Neil. Top bloke.

Fantastic to see Neil in his element, the passion for what he does really comes through. Love to see more of these catch-ups, maybe the stuff that doesn’t make the show, but is just as interesting.

this guy loves cars, he needs to appear more on this channel, what a cool guy

As a auto body man / painter at work, I would sit and watch videos of Neil just talking about his experiences and telling stories.

Could listen to Neil all day talking about these projects… more content like this please 👍

Love this show, the sheer amount of enthusiasm and passion from the team really comes across well on the tv👍

Dude. This gave me a shock. After hearing Sri Lanka. I remember that tsunami like yesterday. I was studying for my A/L s. Watched the horror unfold in the TV. It was the worst natural disaster happened to sri lanka in known history. Few my relatives had a very narrow escape as well. That's and one memory I'll never forget.

There's a whole channel needed from Neil and his team to show us mere mortals to show processes in detail - of what to aim for, how to get there - by our own hand, in our own time, within our budgets!! PLEASE

I've been a fan of Richard ever since he first started on Top Gear and I believe he will go so far and accomplish a lot with his new workshop. It is great to be doing something that you love and that your are passionate about and to make a career of it is awesome. Him and his team are amazingly talented and passionate and will go far. 😀 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I remember early Japanese cars imported into the UK had chrome buttons in holes in the front wings, because local preference in Japan is to have wing mirrors, and not door mirrors. So when they fitted door mirrors to early imported cars into the UK, they just blanked off the holes in the wings.

I think it is a great idea that Richard has a restoration shop. Now that he has the business up and running the big question becomes whether he can make a profit and keeping the jobs rolling through the shop. Looks like he is on the right track with a mix of resprays, mechanical and a few full restorations. Truth is it is much harder to make money of a full restoration vs. a bare metal respray.

I used to read MGB repair manuals in free reading times in high school. My homeroom teacher thought I was a bit weird. It's coming in handy watching this channel and Richard's show!

Niel is simply Awesome. I love listening to him and the enthusiasm for the cars simply oooses out of him.

i could listen to Neil talk about the details of cars for hours

The sound of the door closing on the Alvis 🥰🥰🥰

Great to see that his business is paying off. Please keep this content in your regular rotation. Thanks. 🇨🇦

One of the best videos yet. Great companion to the big show. Can't wait for the next one.

Neil is one of those guys you can FEEL that he loves solving the problems and you wish you could get HIM looking after YOUR car - then be able to sleep sound that it was being done RIGHT.

I love seeing these vids to go along with the series. For those of you that haven't watched it yet, I urge you to go check it out, it's so well done showing the ups and downs of the business as it grows, really great insights and a lot more detail than I imagine these videos can go into, as great as they are :D

I am tickled to see the shop Hammond and his Mates built doing well.

Please make a follow up on the Toyota estate car it would be nice to see it when it’s finished

Could sit and listen to Neil talking about the cars and equipment all day. Can tell he loves what he does

Glad to hear it's an actual business, not just a set for a show.

It's fantastic to see them doing well, Neil seems like such a great guy, knowledgeable and interesting. All the best for 2023 😊

I'm so glad Hammond's shop is doing great.

A lot of Japanese domestic cars had their mirrors mounted out on the front fenders as opposed to the doors like other markets that is most likely the origin of the holes in the tops of the fenders on the Toyota

This workshop is like a dream. Beyond us in cash. So nice to watch this perfecton in action.

I hope there is a season 3 of the smallest cog. If discovery+ doesn’t renew it, surely amazon would

Gosh I love this update so much guys!!! A sweet old BMW, an Alvis... and an 80's Tercel wagon!!!! As a Toyota guy, this is just fantastic (I happen to own an '82 SR5 hatch project that I'm looking forward to tackling). Great update, thank you!!!! :) :) :)

Gotta love our Neil

I love the smallest cog. Verry nice to watch. Greatings to Richard and the whole team.

I mean we Sri Lankans have sentimental value to almost anything in our possession, but that's a cool story and to see that old Japanese car getting worked on in a brilliant workshop is incredible. Love it!

What a lovely man, and fabulous mechanic, thank you so much great video.

That Tercel is by far my favorite thing in the shop. The B GT is very cool, but that Tercel is awesome.

Interesting and beautiful cars guys, thank you!

Neil deserves his own Jag for Christmas Mr Hammond.

Sweet BMW. I would love to own that Jag, once it is restored. Probably my favorite car, period. That Porsche will look amazingly beautiful once completed too. Glad to see things picking up. Great job so far guys!!!!

Neil Greenhouse is just great

Looking forward to seeing Mondeo updates!

I could listen to Neil talk about cars for hours

I absolutely love this programme, Neil is so funny

man these videos look and sound amazing. shout outs to the production team

That Alvis door closing...

Love that you guys are also doing these tours with the lads in the shop and not just slap Richard in every video about the smallest cog because it is Richard Hammond from TG. Neil is so knowledgable about cars and the restoration process it is incredible to hear him talk about it. The Workshop has become one of my favourite shows to watch, I hope we will have many more seasons of it!

I had a Tercel in a similar colour. The poor thing had been vandalized then rebuilt just enough to pass an MOT. The 2wd 4wd selector was broken enough to be switched while moving made for fun take offs 4wd for launch then 2wd for corners. Surprised a few boy racers when an estate with no straight panels left them standing.

Wow BIG jobs congrats smallest cog 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Need more Neil Episodes! The man is a treasure!

Need to see more of these snippets in the show !

Love your work 👍

nice to see it's going well

THIS i like! just easy going, slow tv like talking with passion bout beautiful cars, history, coloring, its SO RELAXING... more please ;)

Fantastic more more can't get enough

Never would Neil have imagined he'd be known around the world

I love the story of Adora-Dorian (?) from Sri Lanka; goes to show how cars hang onto memories. When I was younger my dad had a Datsun 280ZX; he sold it for a Porche 911 and i never forgave him. That aside, though, I have such vivid memories of that bright rust orange car with specks on, whenever I look for images to show someone else I scroll through all of the google images or whatever to make sure to find a colour that matches closely with Dads. I'm so glad that Neal and the team can help him get the car back into what it was, vs just a random colour thrown on. It's kind sad that that previous workshop didn't realize what they were doing at the time

Neil as a man who loves his work!

I really want the Smallest Cog to succeed. And I mean the business. Tbat would be awesome. I really have respect for Richard for doing this

"Is it a 'special' Porshe?" It's the MOST special kind of car...it's beloved.

Great video

Would love to have a brew and a chat with Neil.

Mike ´s Style - just great !

I see they never spoke about poor Dean Kronsbein's Bentley that is sat there by the entrance covered up!!! Poor man. I wonder if the smallest cog would be what it is today if he hadn't of helped them when he did??? Rest in peace sir, you were a legend!!!

The holes in the top of the wings on a Japanese domestic car of that age would have been for the wing mirrors . Just have a google you will find they all had them. In NZ we use to take them off used imports and put on blanking plates as they just looked terrible.

If I were rich, Neil would be the very man to restore my 80s HotHatch - he's a friggin' genius!

i feel like you guys need to work on your timing of these videos either way behind the series or too far ahead, it's giving me whiplash ! more vids pls !

You need to do another update on these cars, I want to see the progress 🙂

Re the Toyota - if Japan Domestic Market, the holes on the top of the wings would have been for the mounting of the wing mirrors ! So not likely to have been a diplomatic vehicle....

Been waiting to this one!!!!!!

Drivetribe is now just mike lingering around the smallest cog

Very Nice, I had a couple MGB GTs. They are getting rare here in the states. The Alvis is a beauty, similar to my 1939 Hotchkiss grand sport.

I would love to see an update on the Buick Riviera. That would be a superb restoration

Kudos to Neil Greenhouse for his knowledge and expertise.

The Smallest Cog workshop is gradually becoming like Neil's former workshop, with stuff strewn around the floor!

Neil cannot stop talking lol. He seems like James May 2.0. I really like when people are really passionate and proud of their work. :)

What a brilliant guy

More Neil please 🙏

I'm surprised that the guys didn't apply a nice epoxy finish to the floor of the new workshop, before they started to use the workshop.

💕💕💕💕 Love the BMW CSI..long time since I've seen one!

I'd guess that the holes in the top of the wings are for Japanese style forward side mirrors. Hard to imagine that as a diplomatic car.

I love that Toyota wagon.

As the cog is local to me, I would love them to do the 1M body conversion on my modded E82 135i M-Sport , to finally finish it off.

lol Mike why would you wear white in a shop?! The oily stain in the intro breaks continuity ;) 1:09 is where it occurs

The show is brilliant, watch it

I'm glad the mondeo getting back to her glory

Super interesting

This is the kind of shop I want to work in. I work at a collision repair/body shop and I hate working on new cars. I want to bring classic cars back to their former glory
