OLIVER! : D
I almost squealed in front of my parents. That’s how much I love this.
Get on that, GearKnobs. I know I can count on you.
Here’s how that works and what it means.
Chase, my Cobalt, is based on the GM Delta platform, which the Opel/Vauxhall Astra is also based on. Therefore, my car’s cousins with the Astra, so to speak.
The Astra is the descendant of the Opel Kadett.
My car is related to the Opel Kadett.
Oliver, Richard Hammond’s car from Botswana, is a 1963 Opel Kadett.
This may or may not explain why I have the same exact taste in cars as that man. (Probably also helps that I’m not tall. I’m actually only 5’2”.)
Watching the Top Gear Botswana Special for the ROLIVER feels!
ALWAYS REBLOG OLIVER
(Seriously, I have an ‘always reblog Oliver’ policy.)
Is it weird that the main ship in the Top Gear fandom is a man and his car
Hammond and Oliver even get a mention on the Cargo Ship page on TV Tropes, so I suppose it’s pretty commonly accepted to be canon at this point.
…oh my God, these are flawless. FLAWLESS.
Also, Hammond’s has Oliver in it, which makes it EXTRA FLAWLESS.
‘He loves me and he’s coming home!’
Oh Richard… ♥
I had my Oliver moment today. Chase came home!
Though to be fair, since I’m still waiting for my own car to return to me, I would have probably sobbed over Hammond and Oliver tonight.
And yet I would have watched anyway.
CURSE MY LUCK.
