For example, when you are crawling back to camp after having been attacked by a lion only to find out that your car has been stolen, you're in big trouble... Or are you? What you need is some Mopani wood, which you wittlewith you pen knife until you've got a porsche 911 which you can use to drive to the nearest settlement for medical help. You're life is saved...
Say you punch a producer in the face and get fired from your job. You're in real trouble.... Or are you? What you need is a contract from Amazon Prime which you can sign with a pen, and then you're saved.
"For example, when you're travelling through the scrub and your engine packs up, you're in big trouble. Or are you? What you need is a piece of Mopani wood, which you whittle down with your pen knife until you've created a four-cylinder petrol inline, such as this that I made earlier. Simply bolt it in under the bonnet and you're gonna be okay."
Use that at le mans, "For example, when you're going down the mulsane straight and your electric and petrol engines break down because you have a Peugeot LMP1 your in big trouble, or are you. Just take a piece of moplini wood and whittle it away with a pen knife and boom, a fully functional Engine and Hybrid system ready to go into the car for the next round of the World Endurance Championship because you spent three weeks making an engine out of a piece of wood with a pen knife.
One reason why these guys are so special is because of their delivery and radio worthy voices. Nobody else that they've thrown onto Top Gear can equal that one aspect.
it only just occurred to me after many years that Hammond's 'pen knife' being massive was a short joke Edit: when the fuck did this get so many likes 😂
When I next call the AA to my broken down car I hope these three turn up with a van crammed with some wood and a penknife! I'll then have three rubber tyres and a wooden one!
“For example, when you’re traveling through the bush and your turbo fails, you’re in big trouble... OR are you?

I would like to redo this part with a 70 Roadrunner for the liftspring part while i chose a Pagani C12S for the suspension part and a Chevy Tahoe for the prop shaft thingy
Still sad this was only a bonus feature & not in the actual special. It is such a good segment. I like how they pronouce the name of the wood slightly different, just to cover all bases.
"...you're in real trouble.
Or are you?"

White Wolf, not going to lie. that's quite funny
Vsauce music starts playing

That's too good :D
Single cylinder 2 stroke seems more realistic

@@RunningOn7CylindersYT u underrated legend💀💀lmaoo
Fun fact: all three used the same pen knife
nah, they used an extra small one for Hammond to make him look close to normal size
@@fabianblom2458 read again, I understood the joke
Fabian Blom you’re the joke
@@fabianblom2458 Congratulations, you played yourself.
For anyone wondering, the dude said something along the lines of r/Woosh
Fun fact: Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer
"Whats that in your neck?"
"Propshaft....."
Just imagine that happens to you; that you accidentally swallow a propshaft when you're out in the bush. You're in big trouble...or are you....?
The laugh at 1.43 just made me smile
This really was just a "lovely holiday which were accidentaly filmed" as Jeremy, Richard and James had said
1:43
Or 1:33 you can hear Clarkson laughing in the background
" you can make a multi-story car park out of this"😂😂😂
This is how morgan makes its cars
I KNEW SOMEBODY WAS GONNA SAY IT 😂
Are you telling me that if global warming allows elephants to swarm north and west, those wooden car dudes are screwed?
The superstructure on the Zumwalt is largely balsa wood and Kevlar.

This entire bit is just pure gold. Every second.
Very true
@@atiagenesis2073 it's a shame the version on iPlayer has this cut out
1:42-1:45 When the camera guy is laughing. You know its funny.
It's Richard and may laughing
@@jackass5066 The camera goes on a wild swing, though hearing his laughter would be hard since they don't have mics.
@@jakechinn6561 James's laugh is pretty iconic
Fun fact:
Richard was using an actual pen knife. He's just that small it looks like a machete
you can hear Jeremy holding back the laugh at 1:34
Jeremy is thinking of something dirty. B-)
I don't think you can reasonably conclude that that is Jeremy from one random sound that lasted half a second.
David you definitely can
proper british smoker
@@David-ud9ju If you have some critical thinking abilities, you sure can. That is EXACTLY how jeremy sounds like...
these always put smile on my face; thanks for the effort put into this channel
Yep. That is what they should bring back. Such a simple thing and it is hilarious.
love the way hammond says mapani wood 1:22
so proffesional
It's his northern accent in how he pronounces the "W" sound with a pause that makes it more alike to native speak.
Did you see Hammond's pen knife..😂😂😂😂
oppaihammer 11 dats a big pen knife
It's actually a normal-sized pen knife, but Hamster is so small that it looks big in his hands.
Shrihari Hudli shit you right
Something tells me he was overcompensating 😂😂😂
Big knife small Richard
it only just occurred to me after many years that Hammond's 'pen knife' being massive was a short joke
Edit: when the fuck did this get so many likes 😂
Just got that too lol
Holy shit
It never ever occurred to me until you explained it
And Clarksons pen knife being tiny
Oh my god
I just passed my driving test, this will definitely be helpful.
Bloody hell! hamster must be smaller than I thought... he made that penknife look HUGE!! Great vid, laughed me bollocks off!!!
1:32 Jeremy’s laugh😂
I’ve never laughed so freaking hard, at about 1:10 when Hammond starts and he keeps such a good facial expression, “YOuR In bIg TRoBLe”
they have some serious tans from this episode...
I absolutely love this clip. Especially near the end when Jeremy tries to mimic a elephant 😂😂
Basically me on all my university essay with that tone of “for example”
1:40 one of my fave Jeremy moments.
1:42 FOR EXAMPLE! 😂😂
I worked on an oil rig in northern Alberta we had a DVD player and every top gear we could find this was a great show the new one sucks
(makes eating noises) “Prop shaft” (Jeremy starts laughing)
I love you Megan! Thank You! Seeing unseen footage makes me all giddy and excited inside and not to mention the boys always crack me up
Thanks a LOT for that upload! I have been looking for it for ages!!
When I next call the AA to my broken down car I hope these three turn up with a van crammed with some wood and a penknife! I'll then have three rubber tyres and a wooden one!
What ep is this from
dozer games Botswana Special mate.
I wouldnt recommend that we all know from experience they are rather rubbish
Press 6 to hear some seagulls
exoticcarlvr22
Press F to pay respects
you know when laugh so hard it makes you fart ?
“a multi-storey car park out of that”
Just rewatched. It’s so old and so brilliant. Hammond’s version is absolutely authentic. So serious.
Oliver's back!
When he fell in love with Oliver.
You know they're good at their job when they can make that convincing.
Who actually made the wooden prop shaft, leaf spring, and spacers?
Hammond looks like he is a member in Ram Ranch.
I hate it when I'm driving through the bush and my prop shaft snaps 😏😏😏
Love these extras, they’re always great.
After watching this 143 times, I noticed that Jeremy says Mopwani wood.
Hammond's pen knife is fantastic. If only we could see him put it in his pocket.
Great uploads Megan T. Never seen this before, funny as hell!
0:42 - 1:08 - 1:40 For Exampull
Hammond using a Machete as a "pen knife" is such a subtle short-joke
When these three are on song it’s a joy to witness!
These are great. Makes you wonder why they were cut.
You know the non-sense is good when Clarkson couldn't even keep a straight face
1:53 why does it sound like Clarkson was made to say 'or are you'
Hammo really made that pen knife look huge
Old clarkson looking like he’s from Italian mafia😂

In the background ray Mears sat down and his left testicle popped out
That propshaft would probably work. That's kind of funny.
I miss Oliver he was the best car on that trip
i feel like the 'for example' bit was encouraged by a few bears
You can always tell it's top gear, when something, somehow, lights on fire....
LoL..Propshaft..i died..LoL
Rip
the moment when Jeremy started laughing 😂
I’d sure like more Mears My Ride segments around the world.
A lot of the more serious-minded viewers have written in complaining that the part where the elephant ate the prop shaft was totally staged.
Thanks for the upload Megan. Are these on the DVD? May I know where you get these from?
They are. Most of these deleted scenes/extras come from the TG Great Adventures DVDs.
I'm surprised they didnt make a joke about Morgan making their cars this way
I almost feel like the pen knife bit was them playing homage to the episode of All In The Family when the fridge died...
You're the best Megan!
Hammond: All you need is your pen knife
*whips out a machete*
Lime nah m8 he used a pen knife but he short so it looks like a machete
JAMP0T1 ah good point
The camera work is so good here
“Vsauce, Micheal here. You’re in real trouble... or are you?”
Ray Mears: “You’re in real trouble.”
Me: “😟”
Ray Mears: “Or are you?”
Me: “😮”
How has this not become a meme format?
I could watch 10 seasons of 100 episodes per season of these guys making these "DIY" videos
All jokes aside, Im pretty sure all 3 of those mopani wood items would actually work in a pinch
Not sure about the leaf spring...
What a "smug face" at the beginning. "It seems as if: Everything is gonna be fine"... but he's wrong. :D
Idea of great escapist came from this video
I would like to redo this part with a 70 Roadrunner for the liftspring part while i chose a Pagani C12S for the suspension part and a Chevy Tahoe for the prop shaft thingy
Anyone else think James would be great doing audio books his voice is so calming and relaxing
He does some audio books
If I bring that "pen knife" to school I'd be in a watch list
I can see hammond is compensating with his pen knife
This is educational.
Still sad this was only a bonus feature & not in the actual special.
It is such a good segment.
I like how they pronouce the name of the wood slightly different, just to cover all bases.
Necessity is the mother of invention 😂
LOL @the pen knife joke
Anybody watching after they announced the end of The Grand Tour as we know it? :'(
What time is it when an elephant eats your car?
Sorry. Couldn't resist. ;)
Time to buy a new car.
I don't know, the clock's been trunkated
Time to pach(yderm) it up, and drive an elephant.
they're so funny omg
1:40 lmfao
oh no I've set fire to the propshaft
Sure as hell don’t wanna use a punny ass pen knife lol to funny
I can see why they cut this bit from the episode
Every time they say bbc I smile
This is how Morgan makes their cars
*SLAMS DOOR*
SSSS
AAHHH
Is it me or did each one of them pronounced the name of the wood differently?
I know they have to cut 5 hrs down to 1 hr but sometimes they leave some really good stuff out!!🤣
Hammond holding a machete and calling it a pen knife is a small joke
Oliver!!
I miss Top Gear where the presenter set fire to his Shaft in Africa....
Best ever
Im curios about whether that prop shaft would actually work
Have you eaten my car?
No...
...yes.
I don't remember seeing this in the actual episode, was it scrapped or is it a regional thing?
How did he blow out that huge flame?
the lungs of a smoker are magic
