yea, i thought it was the guy from top gear too.

Yeah me too... Don't scare people like that! Like who the fuck is Richard Hamann

On a side note; don't smoke, kids

immediate thought for the top gear short guy..... guess not!

Hamann is a famous BMW tuner. :) On an automotive forum and not one knows who he is. :facepalm:

wow thought the same thing
RIP Mr Hamann

I thought the same thing but I do know who Hamann is =)

Know both, but for a second honestly thought it was Hammond and heart skipped a beat.

its a good thing im not the only one who thought this..

i was like.. "What.. no... not richard.."

Ouch.

That's because everyone here drives riceburners.

I think everyone knows the brand but I doubt anyone really gives a crap about the owner. Not everyone associates a man/face to the brand. Kind of like how everyone knows AMG but I doubt many people can name who the head of the AMG division is off the top of their heads.

I dont drive a riceburner... but i knew who the guy was

Well it's kinda obvious that Richard Hamann is the owner of Hamann. Kind of different when AMG isn't a dude's name.

:failed:

my heart broke a little bit when i read the title...such a :troll:

Damn it, thought it was top gear Richard Hammond

I guess the point is that it's similar to how even though a lot of us knew gemballa or hamann, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of us didn't know who Uwe or Richard was prior to the news. When you read it it definitely sounds a lot like richard hammond which for us IS a household name so I can see why we'd jump to conclusions instinctually (EDIT: also forgot to mention how there are complete fobs on this forum who would make similar typos)

damn i just like the rest if u guys top gear came 1st since op "so young", then after click the link i realize it hamann tuning for BMWs & its kind of sad as he made some really sick BMWs over his life time

you guys are fucking nuts
