James was having problems with his illegal immigrant. So he decided to employ him
I died
Been watching this show for over a decade and I only just got that now
Pretty sure you didn't
Cheap labor
They’ve just solved the asylum seeker crisis. Top gear is always ahead of the curve.
Immigration situation in a nutshell
this isn't low quality, England is just pixelated like that.
So is your nan
Cos it’s a fuckin shite hole
Gcasper aye thats what i’ll do end myself cos some wee reprobate on youtube has telt ma to 🤣 shut eh fuck up bro
Living in the UK, this is true. With all the clouds, Britain looks like a low render of Skyrim
Understandable
I love how each of them bought a van that matches what people say about them:
Hammond: Small, Buys a Suzuki Super Carry, the smallest van of the lot.
Clarkson: Completely inept and knows nothing about most cars, Buys a Ford Transit, The standard van most people think of when they hear van.
May: Captain Slow, Buys a huge Box Van, The slowest van you can find.
Best van there is the Suzuki by far lol
And James’ van ain’t crooked
That Suzuki is a popular as a kidnapping vehicle in India
@@siz_tan_music or just as a van anywhere else
Brilliant! 👌 And accurate.
"While the others set to work with spanners, I whipped out my ingenuity."
- James can I borrow your van?
SLAM.
:Dillon Wingull then he uses duct tape to put the door on.
That was Clarkson not may
"Richard really did have a size problem, and his van was pretty small as well"
He's just not compensating for anything like the others, lol
😂 😂 😂

Big oof
When you check the resolution and you realise the best is 144
+Ethan Delaney It's amazing how far we've come in only 8 years.
+Joey Brinkman 9*
+Ethan Delaney "Watch a higher quality version here!" - Links to same video still in 144p
Even though 144p was not available as a resolution setting in 2008
Ethan Vardy you should see bbc worldwide with what seems like 12p
5:58 the trio laying in the grass enjoying the day is so adorable to see
"Ha, GAY!"
James in particular looks pretty happy with being able to lay in the grass

Was something wrong with the van James had? It can't really be the horribly slow...can it? Imagine taking that thing out on the freeway, you wouldn't even be able to get up to speed. And as slow as it was it was empty! Imagine if it was loaded up with cargo how awful it would be. There had to be something wrong with it, nobody would have ever bought one of those if they were that miserably slow.
I just wish they would add sliding doors on the driver's side

Hammond: WANKERS!!! Ooh! Where did that come from?!
Astonishing + stupendous + superb = "Astuperb"
Thats a rare Clarksonism right there.
He said "that's a stuperb thing"
So it's just stupendous and superb.
i thought its a cross of stupid and superb

dear BBC,
even by 2008 standards 144p is very poor.
I dont get it Top gear by Bbc which has a multi million budget but they have uploaded all there videos in 144p. Must be the same guy who did the sound setting in Top Gear, blasting music over when they speak.
Monkeyclub no wonder jeremy punched him
Baidar Bakht 360p in 2008 is bad...
Baidar Bakht 2008 is around the time 1080p came along.
Thorbjørn Madsen Nope we had full hd 1080p TVs back then
When James opened his side door, I genuinely thought for a second Jeremy was about to say “God, that’s a stupid feature!”
Got a good chuckle when he said “stuperb” instead
I think it was gonna be stupendous but he was so overwhelmed by the majesty of the ldv
"I tell you what, we're no worse than the last removal people I used."
I love how when he drag race started the camera guy jerked it ahead then remembered those vans won't run a 9 second quarter.

"This is Geoffrey, this is Ian. This is Steven" God I love Jeremy clarkson
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Clarkson throwing the plates in got me good. Especially when he said “that didn’t break, yes it did.” Then the plate after that exploding was HILARIOUS!
4:19 "meanwhile Jeremy was being as practical as ever" *box rips and everything falls out* lmao
Ehh, which pixel was Hammond?
The tiny one. and the big shouty Orange one was..no not Jeremy.
Best comment
LMFAO, BEST COMMENT @Robluy
lol "richard has a size problem, and so does his van."
Just relised lmfao
Have seen a video where some crazy rev-heads installed an RX7's rotary engine into one of those Suzuki vans enabling it to easily lift the front at the drag-strip!
3:53 When they said "illegal immigrants" I was expecting to see Mexicans but then I remembered they're in England; there's no Mexicans in the UK.
With Hammond as their ambassador I can't see why not.
2:51
“Goodbye May!”
*Hell’s Gates Opening*
I read Jeremy's van as "Top Gear Furries".
Umm... Thats the point...
I saw that and was like Lord help that sorry nation over run by those things
it is
OwO can i be a top gear Furry
@@SabertoothedFrostbite yes you can
4:02 "Richard really did have a size problem.......and his van was pretty small as well" xD
I truly truly miss the real Top Gear... It's the best TV show I've ever watched. The Grand Tour is good but old Top Gear was something truly special.. :(
Amen, i believe a lot of the bits you may feel are missing fro.Grand Tour due to BBC owning top gear rights and ultimately kept the boy's ideas, stig etc, they not allowed to have, lots of legal shit I guess
Wow, im on a Top Gear watching spree, and I didnt believe I would encounter 144p ever again, but here we are
"James meanwhile was taking so long that he ran out of time." Haha! :D
Time was waiting on James lol

I absolutely lost it when Hammond strapped the mattresses to the side of his van 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Goodbye may” & “come oooooon”2:51 rolled me over the flood 🤣😂
‘I’ve ran out of space’
‘Well you would!’
1:07 Jeremy try to say stupid but change in the end 😄😄
"Did you wash it on too hot a setting?"
I lost it. ;)
That illegal Immigrant... Best.

That bit cracked me up.
Its funny because Clarkson is racist
Bongo Bobby who isn’t?

144p on a 1440p screen is just terrible.
ikr and I have a 2160p
British Taxi make sure you go full screen and zoom in 200%... count each damn pixel lol
"2008"... The year of the tortoise
If you squint your eyes it's... still terrible.
AgentXRifle k
4:45 That sound is so cool
6:55 he is pretty much as close as he possibly can be without hitting them. The sensor they are using to measure the distance must be rubbish.
You realise he was just over 1 cm away
richard did have a size problem, and his van was small as well

I love that profile pic!

lol if you play it at 3:02 when the Suzuki van zips by in the drag race shot and make a sort of "shoom" noise it's very funny.
Ahh 2nd. AVERAGE!😂😂
Nailed the timing on that one
Who's binge watching top gear videos in 2019....??

only when they were still here with us
not the terrible new seasons
"..this is Geoffrey, this is Ian, this is Steven.."
3:46 empty red bull can
2:29 loved the camera man for that 😲like really what was he expecting 😂
The Suzuki super carry is also called as Omni in India..😅
It is very cute 😊
"This is Jeffery this is Ian this is Steven" LMAO. It's ok James I'm sure millions of other people name their spanners also
8:39 I found it very amusing when Clarkson broke out his ingenuity. ;D Excellent video!
On a side note, they should do an all-out race with May's LDV box van and none other than a Reliant Robin. I would definitely watch it! :D
7 yrs ago do u still have ur CZcams account
"What's that actually got to do with anything?"
"You're gonna come last."
*Richard laughing in the background* 😂😂
youtube: why is he watching that for the 500th time
me: my goals are beyond your understanding
Rofl "COME OOOOOON! *bounces up and down*"
7:50 I imagine that all of those mattresses caused an issue.
Snake Man448 Lol just noticed
honestly seeing how slow that his truck was in the race I don't think it would make it
I loved it when they had less budget than the newer series'. It meant the comedy was more based on them than the script
the scrips was only ever a thing when they did in studio segments, all this stuff like the challenges were off the cuff
@@Bender_B._Rodriguez Those were scripted as well. Remember the one where they filled the cars with water? When Jeremy takes off the rear door falls off and he yells "the damn doors come off" as if he had no idea that was about to happen. The door was clearly rigged to come off. Doors don't just completely fall off of a car like that. The large majority of Top Gear was scripted. Sure there was some off the cuff moments but those were pretty few and far between.
@@HerecomestheCalaverayou clearly never drove British Leyland cars from the 70s, there was always a possibility the door could come off, whether going round a corner or on a straight 🤣
@@LuigiMason This is true I have not drove any 70s Leyland cars. But still if you look at the clip I mentioned you'll be able to tell that it was clearly rigged.
@@HerecomestheCalavera Let’s not ruin the magic and instead just live in wilful ignorance and pretend it’s all real, that’s the most fun way 🤫
2:53 May's face 😂
lol may's immigrant stole his vase
8:08 that is some serious pixilated text
11/10 times usually British TV is just boring but this... these guys? Pure unadulturated GOLD.
And unlike our camera man he was used to filming more faster cara: still gets me.
Can confirm. I drive a van and do tailgate slow people in the fast lane.
I drive a long wheel base van and the terror fast/middle lane hoggers must experiance when I decide to undertake them puts a smile on my face every time.
+Wet Lettuce someone that tail gates me gets boxed in using the traffic in the other lanes its the best if the other people are old an go slower than the speed limit on single lane roads i slow way down and if the try to pass i down shift and block them out that way dont tailgate me or i will ruin your day
Wet Lettuce what's an under take I have never heard that used for driving?
Its where someone in a slower lane than you on the motorway goes faster than you
mike112769 there's no such thing as the "fast lane"
Jeremy: “You can park a BUS, in that gap, Hammond!”
Also Jeremy: *Bumps the car*
Me: “You can fit a bus in what gap, Jeremy?”
London bus drivers: You can fit a bus in _any_ gap!
8:15 I wouldn’t bother putting that door on, it’s only cosmetic
Best part:
Richard really did have a size problem and his van was pretty small as well.🤣🤣
"Richard really did have a size problem, and his van was pretty small as well." I died
Possibly one of the funniest things on top gear ever "and Hammond had won it, which seemed to please him" followed by the censoring. I laugh so hard I nearly pass out every time I see it.
this is the episode that hooked me into top gear
3:19 W*NKERS!!!
0:58 Does that sign litreally says "Top Gear Furries"
No it literally says "Top Gear Furriers". A furrier is a person who prepares and sells animals furs. The joke is that he pretends to have misheard "courier" as "furrier".
@@gwishartI think top gear furries is a lot funnier
@@TheSilverCanine_R3D-H of course you do
Childhood. Thank you Jeremy, Richard and James.
I can’t even complain about the quality. This show is just fantastic and just makes my day watching these clips. Top Gear will never be the same..
The face on James during the drag race never gets old lol
7:42 The mattresses in the back may make a difference to James's speed here.
4:43 That didn't break, that didn't brea....yes it did! That did!
Lol I died😂
Man, I haven't been back here in many years. I used to love binge-watching these TG clips on here when I was in my teens. Love it.
Maybe the best TV show ever. Cars will never be the same without this show. Grand Tour is cool but this was epic!
Which pixel is Jeremy?
Osteoporosis the large shouty one
The one next darting for the director
I just learned a new word: "stuperb" (1:12)
I'm dying. This is one of their best segments 😂😂
1:17

I think this is hands down, the funniest TG challenge. Love these guys.
"Richard did had a size problem, and his van was pretty small as well " almost missed this germ !

4:42: literally every private postal service
It's odd how Clarkson has been around 60 years old for at least 20 years.
Top gear challenges are one of the best things to watch when your down in the dumps. this really cheered me up.
"Watch a higher quality video here."
*Opens link to this video* :|
***** 0:16 an annotation pops up at the buttom right that opens the same video in another tab.
When this video was uploaded it was possible to watch a higher quality stream by modifying the URL. This is no longer possible which is why it appears to have no effect.
9:34 i was about to finish 😅
2:51 "Goodbye, May!"
*BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!*
At 4:9 "ritchard really had a size problem and his van was pretty small as well"
can't stop laughing!!!!
The song at 0:20 is the original 1958 recording of Link Wray's "Rumble", Link Wray was a pioneer in the use of power chords in rock music
no1reallycaresabout2 A+ for the trivia. ..I only remember it from Pulp Fiction.
also sampled in a death grips song
sick
5:58 they look so peaceful relaxing on the grass, may especially.
they're just sitting in grass and reading a letter like boys😂😂 i love it its so different but so much better that any other CAR show its amazing
I love that moment too.
