Imagine being those school kids. You're on your lunch break and suddenly James May breaks down in a Lamborghini outside your gates.
Nice kit car!
@@abramo7700 it's not a kit car you philistine!
1998 Subaru Impreza 22b STI bro I see you every where how!!!???
@@GoldenDriftz ;)
I’ve been watching James May for about as long as I can remember so that would be a dream come true
"I'm following Jeremy in his Maserati, doing 48 miles an hour, and I get the distinct impression that he's going flat-out." I love that line, it always makes my day.
Any idea what the music is right there?
@@pendremacherald6758 A hazy shade of winter by Simon & Garfunkel
Jeremy's car had a $10,000 lawn mower engine swap.
Is a small block V8 more expensive?
Yep. What a heap of shit
Yea sounds about right
He payed 7000 for it.
@@Nathaniel2256Studios which had 10k spent on the engine. Which is what OP has said
"It was only 7K pounds, and the owner spent 10K rebuilding the engine".
Every old car guy looks at his shoelaces, embarrassed for Clarkson.
Clarkson: More like the owner spent 10K rebuilding the engine so it just "works" and not "run properly".
Also Clarkson: It was rebuilt using a hammer.
@Joe H Nono. He just didn't tell the whole truth.
Maybe he said it *needs* 10k in engine work and was misheard. I've seen this happen before too "It needs new brake pads, about $100" gets misheard as "It's got new brakes that cost $100"
@Drew Kangaroo It could also be that Italian cars tend to have unreliable engines to begin with lol
@Joe H Lied through his teeth, he did.
The panel falling off when Hammond closes the door at 5:48 and 7:01 gets me every time.
I never noted it XDDD
it's perfect!
The car itself gave us a running gag
5:16 Jeremy checking his gages: "Fuel...depends on what sort of corner I'm going round"
@Qimodis gagues
@@AshleyPomeroy gauges actually
"Gauge" is standard, "gage" is an uncommon, chiefly US spelling, and "gague" is _right out._
What has he done? *Shuts door* Trim falls off, LOL!
That's it, it's parked! *Shuts door* Trim falls of.
again.
JK Productions I
yeah, it happens every time he closes it, hahaha
Are you still alive 4 years ago was a long time ago
i swear i could barely hold back the sip that i took seconds before he did this.. xD
“It’s not a Ferrari, Teeth, be quiet”
Classic
"It! Is! It! I?!"
James to jezza: “you got mechanic butt cheeks .”that is definitely going to help with the gay jokes.
It actually IS a Ferrari. Before 1976, it was made by Dino and therefore had Dino badges. Starting in '76 production was taken over by Ferrari and the Dino badges were replaced by Ferrari's. Richard said his 308 was made in 1979. And interesting fact, it was the first production Ferrari to have the iconic "Prancing Horse" hood badge.
"Let's get back to the action"
Pot and kettle spring to mind
This is one episode where you can't help but root for all three of the cars. Yes, they're old, yes, they're cheap, and sure, they're falling apart, but they're damned gorgeous, and somehow you have to believe that maybe, just maybe they can hold onto their old glory.
Of course, we all know how it ends for them.
427Arbok at least for the Ferrari it ends with it being bought by Richard, being completely rebuild and restored and still being owned and driven by him.
Seriously? He still owns this car?
Yes. It even appeared on a British game show once: czcams.com/video/L8En7Qooyx0/video.html
Unpopular opinion, Lamborghini has made some hideous cars over the years and that Urraco is certainly one of them. It's just... boring. Even for it's era, Lamborghini made 3 other cars at the same time as the Urraco and they were all better looking. Mixed opinions on the Maserati, I'm not a big fan of them.
@@jasonhook3884 You have right to your own opinion.
And it's wrong.
I love the shot of Richard closing his door, and the panel breaking.
Reminds me of the Lotus (I think) where he had to hold up the window with his hand
are you my father? i am barry lok, ivestor, i am lookin forb my father.
Twice. :D
"Oddly, James began by doing housework" 🤣
That sounds like me when I'm baking! I always have to clean up before starting to bake!
are you my father? i am barry lok, investor and i m am lookin for my father,
*Overtaken by a caravan for driving too slowly*
Obi Wan Kenobi: "You have become the very thing you swore to destroy"
are you my father? i am barry lok, investor and i am lookin for my father.
"When French and Italians get together to make a car, run for your life", as a Citroën SM owner I have to say, he's right. The car is brilliant but that Maserati engine is a nightmare to maintain in good conditions. My dad used to say that this car is only doing well at 200 kph, anything less and it becomes capricious.
i worked with you at cheese factory in missouri
When french and italians get together to make a car I should run for my life.
Taking notes.
That's like the greatest advice ever!
@@deerlord2363 What???? Bugatti's are brilliant!!
The mother of idiots are always pregnant.
Buggati's are german, not french. And is true, french car's reliability is just rubish
@@NA-gf1zy Bugatti from origin is Italian actually. Dont' judge cars only by nationality. An example: Bentley's are still British, they're owned by German VAG Group still they're built in Britain.
Every time one of them says "well, it could be worse"... you know the next scene is going to be James May standing next to his broken car.
When the camper van overtook Jeremy's Maserati and his reaction is priceless!
He wasn't wrong about the Merak being one of the prettiest cars ever made. Still looks great now I think.
Like a Lancia.
Beautiful But Broken.
Theres a lot of music from pulp fiction in this episode
Or lock stock
Or greek
I heard Boney M during Hammond's lap
@@preetamdasika7636 was it???
@@alexholshouser6338 pretty Damn close
The fact that Jeremy has a doctorate in engineering and is the most mechanically inept just tickles me
Clarkson has an honorary Doctor of Engineering degree. Not a real PhD.
it its james may who hasing it :S
The design of their electric goeff is a perfect example of how not to give out roles.
It's an honorary Doctorate in Engineering. It was awarded for his work in journalism for and history of Engineering... Academia is weird.
The bonnet is eating my head! One of my favourite Clarkson quotes.
Bullet*
TODO DH No, bonnet. Come on man...
Yeah it's "bonnet". It's what we English call the "hood". Jeremy's head is being squeezed by the bonnet lid.
@@DaveWraptastic p@@@
Lol when hood acts like a old freezer hatch. "The hatch is eating my head" to keep it open while looking in it for what you want.
Clarkson's Maserati has less horsepower (left) than my Fiat Grande Punto...
Yep. But which would you prefer to drive for the rest of your life?
+Scott Sherman Considering how much the maserati lost, it wouldent LAST till the end of his life.
+Carrack090 Haha, well yeah but still.
Exactly, I'm only 20 - still have a few more years left in me....
+Czar Christoph 3 or 4 maybe...
5:47 xd.. I love it how when Hammond slams his door, a piece of the side of the door just falls off... XD
“What has he done?”
Car: knock knock.
Jeremy: Who's there?
Car: Old worn rod bearings!
***** probably used all the worn parts
Joel Artursson put thicker oil in it.
10k rebuild. No new big end bearings fitted.
The engine begun to knock after Jeremy run without coolant around the track.
@@neutronalchemist3241 tho it had no power before that so i call bs on the rebuild most of time an extreme overheat warps the head and block before the big end fail or if its cast iron cracks the head .block
To put something in perspective about the Merak; that SS badge cost the original owner about $250 in today's money
Hold on, the badge was 39 quid in 2005, that's about £66 or $80 today. Even if you run it with US inflation it's only $112.
are you my father? iam barry lok, investor and i am lookin for my father, are you my father?
That Maserati sounds just like my old 04 Grand Cherokee right before one of the cylinders (or pistons I should say) decided they'd enjoy life better outside the engine.
Lol omg, I'm glad I found this comment! I'm not reallly a car enthusiast, maybe in the past, and I don't even drive lol. BUT my dad drove a few Cherokees when I was growing up, and literally that's what I was thinking Jeremy's Maserati sounded like XD (My dad bought only used and did his own repairs lol).
Take the muffler off and you've got at least a year of my childhood's soundtrack XD That thing is chugggin' lol
5:59 ... that ferrari sound
its not a Ferrari!!!
alexander syguu It is
Mega Centurion not
Sounded good didn't it?
No, it's a George.
"My oil temperature.. Minus 20. Fuel.. Depends on what sort of corner I am going around." Love this show
2:33 Technically, Jeremy has an honorary doctorate.
5:48 min! LOL! Look at the doorboards! ;D
milhouse147 you saw that too!?
When that happened I lost it 😂😂😂
3:10 Hammond's narration is hilarious
I grew up watching these old top gear episodes and it's so weird rewatching them and actually recognising some of the places. 5:53 I never realised it but a couple years ago I had a job where I would drive on that road a few times a week and never noticed it's the spot where James May broke down and got overrun by posh school kids.
"The only thing we can do to help James now is to just go..." Hahaha, I love these guys
The music in this episode is so damn good.
Not the 'music' from the Maserati though!
Stig's Italian Cousin some say if he walks for more than 30 meters he breaks down, all we know is he's not the stig he's the stigs Italian cousin
Like a Kahuna Burger!
Ayyye
It is!
Even though the best parts are clearly Greek and not Italian or French lol :P
The door trim falling off every time Hammond slams the door has me rolling
Clarkson: "When French and Italians come together to make cars, run!"
Stellantis: "I'll pretend I didn't hear that."
Ok who is going to work on the looks more and who is going to work on performance more?
5:46 the door panel falling apart when hammond shuts the door is so class😂😂
That black Lambo is beautiful. I'd buy it if only it were mobile.
I’d buy it, then remove and replace EVERY part of running gear
Those cars need to swap colors. The Ferrari should be red, the Maserati dark blue, and the Lamborghini yellow.
the dino should stay yellow. its iconic isnt it?
Of course YOU would say something like that.
I only watch Top Gear for the plot:
The plot: *3:45*
I just love the Greek music used for this challenge. Even the syrtaki was used at the best possible moment.
I love how at the beginning of the episode or whatever, Clarkson is praising his Maserati. And now that he learned what really went on (with the badge and horsepower loss), he's saying that you should run when the Italians and French try to make a car together.
Holy shit never realized how much the Maserati was knocking haha. What happens when you run the motor with 0 oil pressure and no coolant on a track 😂
Great Greek music for Italian cars
Valle Comms 😂
actually turkish music
Rick Sanchez no its greek
@@bananadictator3032 greek belongs the turks sooo
@@ricksanchez9767 it's 100% Greek
I like how most of the background music are hits from the 70’s starting with Roxy Music’s “Love is The Drug” for the 70’s supercars.
The creatures really use great music in the background. This was the dance theme from Zorba the Greek while they were changing their oil and spark plugs..Baboons. And then the lovely Ennio Morricone theme song from Fistful of Dollars...Superb.
3:21 sometimes my stepbro…. It’s almost frightening
2:47 Holy shit, Richard indirectly predicts Jeremy's breakdown later on, never noticed that
i like that they are playing greek music whenever James has a problem with his car. love it!
“Teeth, be quiet” is one of the all-time great Top Gear quotes.
3:04 when jeremy cuts the broom he doesn't cut it, it snaps itself apart
Wrong equation, right result lmao
Who ever is the music producer for this show has amazing taste.
whoever rebuild that engine of that Maserati , should be sent to hell
Why? He obviously loved that car.
No one rebuilt that engine. They probably just dumped in some engine rebuild in a can.
@@FlorianDootz How can someone love something so mediocre
@@justinvaughn2277 Ask your mom.
@@FlorianDootz Your mom probably waited too long for the abortion
3:32 Hammond: "I'm actually dawdling." *laughs* "I don't want to win by too much!"
''Are you looking where you're going or using The Force?'' Haha, Jeremy's the man.
6:05 Is that the Fistful of Dollars theme?
"You evil ma- THAT'S BRILLIANT!" 😂
4:00 is me when trying to do something on my car, I am a good doctor...
Old car coverage is so much better than al the new cars. It is so much more enjoyable to see cars needing repairs yet still travelling. Especially when they are supercars of old
That Miserati really just runs on hopes and dreams, doesn’t it?
man that engine knock on that maserati is so bad
MEEP put thicker oil in it. That'll fix it.
@@godgirlsguitars What? 120 weight?
@@AB-80X That's like thicker than differential oil isn't it?
@@godgirlsguitars Yup.
"It isn't a Ferrari! Teeth, be quiet!" _[Almost enraged/annoyed hamster stuttering]_
Best line ever.
1:28 when they go together like that, it looks like the German flag 🇩🇪
Lol yeah
Dutchland dutchland ubber allee
I always loved the challenges, builds and races the most. They were always the best.
The battery is discharging, the oil temperature is very high, the oil pressure is very low, the engine temperature is off the end of the scale, I’m running out of petrol, but the clock is correct.”
Always think about the positives James lol.
Changing oil and Mikis Theodorakis playing in the background!! Also, every time Jame's car breaks down, rempetiko starts to play.
Damn these old episodes had really good music in them.
Anybody notice at 7:01 that part of Hammond's interior door trim came off?
That's the second time lol
Just discovered this show. I feel like I've been living under a rock. I shall hide my head in shame now
i love it when top gear makes challanges and adventures its so entertaining
(7:09) This is my first time watching, and did not expect "Jungle Fever" to start blasting in my eardrum!
All the kids were taller than Hammond 🤣🤣🤣
I love how at the beginning they have a map of Europe, but are only traveling across a small part of England!
4:12 lmao
5:48, love how when he closes the door a piece flies off :p
"Are you actually looking at what your doing or are you just using the force"... XD
Idk why I keep laughing so hard when Hammond's door falls apart when he shuts it
They could record Hammond getting off the car (before closing the door) and change the camera to show for example the trio, the cars, whatever, but no, they literally have left it for lolz and fun 😄
Im digging the Quentin Tarrentino sound track in this series!
I don't even like cars and I never have, but, I love this programme...Three great presenters...Bravo.
6:32 Is that a Nissan Primera on the right? I have that thing! Awesome!
The Japanese car itself is great, just the French engine is falling apart. I am with Clarkson on this one.
That Maserati tapping..... KILLIN ME
"James had got going, and got stuck, while Jeremy had resorted to shouting."
That's it that's the show
That E30 at 6:18 though! beautiful :'D
omarrrxo its a 318
it was also scrapped
5:55 italian supercar becoming american muscle.
2:39 that’s the W1A theme song
93.9p a litre ! Bargain
0:41 when fuel was 94p a litre 😂
Not that much more now considering 15 years later
Well there has been a fuel crisis
I love when Hammond shuts the door and the piece just falls off xD
Its the subtle things about classic cars, like the armrest breaking off the door at 5:45 when hammond slams the door shut 😂
Give the cars to Mike Brewer and Edd China
Agreed.
MIKEK3NT no shit
MIKEK3NTAs far as I remember they did a Lamborghini Merak some time ago. A fabulous car.
TheBimmerfan Lamborghini Merak? What's that?
tavi921 lol
That poor Merak really needed a rebuild. He should have used a heaver oil.
6:08 Clint Eastwood western music.
Thanks
A fistful of dollars, spot on mate
Love the bit where James goes "I'm quite happy doing this if you'd like to sod off!"
6:50 yes the force he was using. One with the force Hammond is
(face palm moment)... at the end, I was like "what about James and his "old school" Lamborghini?" I look to the right of the screen and there's part 4. I wish me and my friends could do something like what these guys are doing.
6:18 the BMW 518 E28 was victim of the scrappage scheme it seems.
D121 ADG
✗ Untaxed
Tax due:
30 April 2009
✗ No MOT
Expired:
05 July 2008
Or Abandoned
Is The Merak Still Taxed And MOTD
Bahaha the door at 5:48 XD it falls apart when he shuts it!!!
"Oddly, James began by doing housework."
4:50 Why didn't that DOUBLE doctor in engineering adjust the worst of his (I guess) 32 valves?! He is destroying a nice vintage engine and he doesn't care a bit. Men like that are the reason, great cars get rare.
He Didn't adjust the valves, he just changed the oil and spark plugs.
How the hell could a V6 have 32 valves? 🤦
1:18 FCA and PSA Group merger in a nutshell
Jeremy has a serious case of rod knock
"while Jeremy has resorted to shouting" ah, a true mechanic
Wait he said he was a doctor of engineering?
Guessing he means honorary doctor.
