I completely agree with James and his Ferrari/cheese comparison, it almost seems like car companies make cars that are almost as good as they can be, then make a "special edition" that actually is as best as it can be and charge a ridiculous increased price
I can relate, sort of. In 1989 I bought a custom ordered Mercury Grand Marquis LS. A very lovely, large, near-luxury barge if ever there was one. Then for a mere $185 I upgraded from the 160hp 5.0 (really 4.9) litre V8 to the 351W (5.8 litre) V8 with 210 Hp. Then I added the Trailer Tow III Package for an amazing $550. The only things unmodified were the front brakes and the actual body panels and interior trim. The thing would accelerate like a Mustang, leave the Mustang behind in the corners, and sipped gas like a Honda Civic!
That’s every company ever though. Apple make the base iPhone 14. And then they make the plus and pro max versions for people who can afford them and they get more features But car companies have to have cheaper versions of their performance cars, otherwise they’d go out of business if they just sold expensive cars and nothing else
friendly reminder that ferrari makes a car which you can buy but you cannot have it if you ask ferrari nicely they MAY decide they will bring your car that you bought from them somewhere so you can drive it for a bit and then take it away again whoever buys anything from that company is beyond help
@@HECKproductions Surprised Ferrari is still around, who in right mind in Ferrari thinks that is a good idea? I'd rather buy a Lambo then a Ferrari tbh
I love how clarkson pointed at a load of places on the map that they can’t go, and then they proceed to go to all of those places over a few seasons and shows
i think that one got them in hot water aswell for the "can´t go there cause the american´s will shoot you" Because that seemed either unscripted or a change in the script that he either ignored or not got told about. Because that "noo" reaction seemed VERY genuine.
Could you please do a compilation of when they speak at the same time? Example this episode: James: what’s it caught on? Jez + Ham: the security camera 😂
“Ooh he’s broken the machine” is easily one of the funniest moments ever between these three. All of them earnestly participating in such a stupid joke is a right laugh. I just watched the last episode of the Grand Tour S3 the other day and I think this moment’s in there, and it sure deserves it.
Probably my favourite season if I had to pick the best mix of over the top globe-trotting adventures and down-to-earth silliness.... and the one with their Britcar 24 race. (my personal favourite and a shame they never revisited it).
I can’t help but roar with laughter every time I see the end of this scene. The way Jermey had genuine terror written all over him, and James is just calmly focused on driving an absolute riddle of a car, gets me every time.
8:28 I still refuse to believe to this day James’ “BOR” (Boat/Car) sunk! 2007 was one of the best years of top gear. I’m glad I watched the entire series when it was aired live on TV back in those years.
7:55 is, honestly, one of the best moments that The Hipster and The Fat One shared, and was one of the first things that got me into these guys' work many, many moons ago. Hearing Clarkson screaming for his life the way he did on that old French car made me laugh hard, and it still does. Personally, it's still a Top 5 Moment for me.
EASILY top 5! If the man didn’t have to change his underwear after, I will genuinely be shocked… the terror is clearly written all over him, and it isn’t acting, but it’s exactly how’d you’d expect someone to act to be as funny as possible!
Hammond and Oliver was the best romance ever ^_^ And it worked so well when they crossed the desert because cpt Slow and the orangutans car where so big and heavy they had to smash and remove everything except the frame, tyres and engine. And they still failed and got stuck. Little Oliver was nimble and quick and just ran across the desert like it was the A1 :D
@@Bob-from-Animal-Crossing He did, (they even made jokes about it on Top Gear (and afterwards)). He kept it, brought it back home and he still owns it ^_^
Richard: It has a 6.5 V12 Jeremy B12 Richard: Whatever Jeremy: Whateber Richard: Please stop that is very annoying Jeremy: Bery annoying Richard: Leave it!
They could be… but the Grand Tour adventures are a little more awesome. There’s a doco on CZcams about Clarkson’s early career up till the 2015’s(I think) . Without all 3 any show would be pitiful..e.g. TG UK currently, TG USA always and TG Australia.
I’m just happy young car enthusiasts are keeping the old top gear alive by repeatedly posting all series videos before the new top gear, I as an old head at this point thank you
James was on to something with that cheese analogy. It's like how Coca-Cola and Walmart-brand cola are exactly the same, but Coke is 2 dollars a bottle and Walmart cola is 80 cents a bottle
I completely agree with James and his Ferrari/cheese comparison, it almost seems like car companies make cars that are almost as good as they can be, then make a "special edition" that actually is as best as it can be and charge a ridiculous increased price

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The way he nonchalantly mentions the monkeys gets me
Monkeys.
"monkeys" hahahah lmao
perfect example of what made this show absolutely brilliant

I love Hammond's slowly growing affection for "Oliver". It's so pure and so real... I love that he saved it and brought it home.
And now has even found a companion for him.
@@michaelbreckshot6589. Yes her name is Olivia btw. So basically a Twin O’s

To be honest they didn't have the best driving roads
"Hang on that's my bag in James his tent.. THIS IS MY TENT!!" 🤣
I’ve always loved that moment. The whole sequence beforehand is hilarious too 😂
Oh man ge it out!
9:29
Hammond and Clarkson; absolute chaos.
May; M O N K E Y S
The cheese making/quality comparison thing from James was just absolutely spot on lol

9:44 'monkeys'- James May, 2007
10:17 is literally such a teenage thing to do. Its brilliant
“Ooh he’s broken the machine” is easily one of the funniest moments ever between these three. All of them earnestly participating in such a stupid joke is a right laugh. I just watched the last episode of the Grand Tour S3 the other day and I think this moment’s in there, and it sure deserves it.
“No, *you* look like a terrorist with a broken windscreen wiper and your face is ridiculous.”
That might be one of the best comebacks in history. 😂
‘I object to the beige’ 🤣🤣🤣
0:52 A very underrated moment 🤣🤣🤣
Probably my favourite season if I had to pick the best mix of over the top globe-trotting adventures and down-to-earth silliness.... and the one with their Britcar 24 race. (my personal favourite and a shame they never revisited it).
I was in such a bad mood until I watched this video. Nobody can ever beat these guys. They are the originals. 👍🏻💗
I want someone to love me like Richard loves Oliver😭
Forever alone.
What? A 1 week love affair and then 20 years alone and locked in the garage? Whatever floats your boat, I suppose.
This brings back memories, this is peak Top Gear, you cannot get any better then that
One of the best seasons of Top Gear... in the world
Hammond... Pause... You id1ot
“Oh sorry mate my cup sank.” 😂 12:31
James: It's a fossil
Jezza: It's not a fossil, it only died about 2 years ago
James: I was talking about you
"He looks like a spaniel that's crashed into the back of a hen"
💀
Oliver has "All Adders are Puffs" written on it. BBC would never allow that today 😂
True. But it wouldn't be in defence of puff-adders, it'd be to protect the feelings of homosexual mathematicians.
'just a nudge'
*crash*
'that's a crash.'
"there's a thing.'
The pain in Richard's voice when he had to bump the other car was priceless 😂
2:45 is one of my favourite top gear moments
7:45 my god I’m pretty damn sure the BBC wouldn’t allow the Stigs African Cousin joke anymore.
You’re right. And Jeremy would tell them right where to stick their opinions.
Why?
Because they’d say it’s insensitive and racist.
I'm pretty sure that BBC are woke nowadays, just like you people.
As they shouldn’t. 😑 Your point being???
"when you are in first speed, push... We aren't are we? JAMES WE'RE GONNA BE KILLED!!!"
It’s perhaps my favorite James and Jeremy segment of anything they have ever done. Absolutely useless and I love it
I can’t help but roar with laughter every time I see the end of this scene. The way Jermey had genuine terror written all over him, and James is just calmly focused on driving an absolute riddle of a car, gets me every time.
James geeking out out the old gear box is oddly wholesome
"Oh sorry mate the cup sank" 😂😂
8:28 I still refuse to believe to this day James’ “BOR” (Boat/Car) sunk! 2007 was one of the best years of top gear. I’m glad I watched the entire series when it was aired live on TV back in those years.
4:48 is still one of my favourite moments which makes me chuckle every time. Timing, tone, everything is so perfect🤣

If you really just called James a "hipster", then you have *NO* idea *AT ALL* what that word really means.
"So, I aks you, is I bling?" - Doctor James May
EASILY top 5! If the man didn’t have to change his underwear after, I will genuinely be shocked… the terror is clearly written all over him, and it isn’t acting, but it’s exactly how’d you’d expect someone to act to be as funny as possible!
jeremy and hammond panicking for their lives, meanwhile james :"monkeys"
2:52. I've seen that dozens of times, the last time was about two days ago in a different video, and I still cracked up! That will never not be funny!
True
Hammond and Oliver was the best romance ever ^_^
And it worked so well when they crossed the desert because cpt Slow and the orangutans car where so big and heavy they had to smash and remove everything except the frame, tyres and engine. And they still failed and got stuck.
Little Oliver was nimble and quick and just ran across the desert like it was the A1 :D
I think I remember reading somewhere that Hammond actually kept Oliver and brought it back to the UK with him.
@@Bob-from-Animal-Crossing He did, (they even made jokes about it on Top Gear (and afterwards)). He kept it, brought it back home and he still owns it ^_^
Jeremy ramming Hammond because he can't brake
James : monkeys !
Has nobody ever noticed the shark behind James when he's in the water at 8:36 ?
12:58 feels like this change in chairs for this season was specifically made for this segment (even if the old props were burnt in fire)
Gotta be the best series of Top Gear imo.
These can never get old
And yet they did
@@MyreW36 Never did
Clarkson is ramming into Hammond and May is just "monkeys"
3:24 the sound bite
“Do you wanna go out there with a hippopotamus or do you wanna stay in here with a horses head?”
The 3 Muppet-eers were the best crew on TV
I miss these three lots. Since top gear ended and the grand tour started we barely see them once a year now. Wish so much there were more.
"Monkey's 👈" classic James lol
James is genuinely such a sweet guy
this was probably the best top gear series imo
Richard: It has a 6.5 V12
Jeremy B12
Richard: Whatever
Jeremy: Whateber
Richard: Please stop that is very annoying
Jeremy: Bery annoying
Richard: Leave it!
what episode is this from ?
Leabe it
@@clydeoasis4049 I did a look around I think it's series 10 episode 12 not entirely sure though
This is exactly what I needed today, thank you 🖤
James may when the cup sank, now that's quintessentially brittish
Tampon story is my favourite 😂😂😂
I can watch clips like these all day 😂
One of a kind show right here. These 3 are comedy gold together!
Back in the day when TG had 3 people who knew about cars instead of 2 clowns and a bloke who can drive properly.
6:14 Sorry, Jeremy, he's STILL going.
12:26 that is the most British scene I have ever witnessed
Series 10 was surely one of the absolute best
Series 10 is easily the best out of all of them
10:43 is the height of dry comedy.
Glad you’re back and hope all is well. Also with a new video, I’ve got a new one to binge so thank you!
10:07
That’s gotta be the best pirate I’ve ever seen
so it would seem..
Good to see you still uploading!
May is right about the cheese analogy.
3:02 basically every country in a nutshell
The "Never Ending Story" at the end was just precious
the comb over XD poor guy
11:11 - Jeremy Clarkson has disconnected from world.
Hard to argue that this wasn’t the best Top Gear script of the lot.
13:26 lemme tell u something 😂😂
Jeremy chokes
To annoy Hammond, I dressed as an M3 driver….. 😎
oliver sinking at the end is like the never ending story
The Leyland challenge was their best
2:20 The same reason GM makes the Tahoe and the Escalade
It's ok, Hammond, I call my Fiat 500 "Connie".
I call my Jaaaggg Mr. Rogers 😆
My ceratoGT is Sally
I called my WRX ‘the Blue Boar’.
@@618Fjk I feel like Mister Rogers is too wholesome for a proper Jaaag driver. I feel like Mr. Darcy would be more appropriate hahaha
Man, they could be doing this sort of thing up to this day...
They could be… but the Grand Tour adventures are a little more awesome. There’s a doco on CZcams about Clarkson’s early career up till the 2015’s(I think) .

It's amazing that Jeremy's brakes that don't work can bring his car to a skidding halt when there's a tree in the way!
"I was talking about you" 🤣
Classic series 10 👌👌👌👌
This is peak Top Gear
How could three complete strangers be so perfect together
James May at 9:44 is golden 😂
10:15 they annihilated that man lmfaooo
I’m just happy young car enthusiasts are keeping the old top gear alive by repeatedly posting all series videos before the new top gear, I as an old head at this point thank you
Liked this video, can see they are working hard. Keep it up!

You literally misunderstood him mate 😂
That poor chap looking at the elies looks so innocent. I feel so bad
The british leyland cars episode was so amazing
There's something so funny about Richard, James and the bottle of milk floating in the Channel.
I can just see sky, sea, sky, *SEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!*
Who knew that the greatest car Britain made was a beige princess with a broken suspension.
"To make the carriage moving at it's first speed take fully and progressively back the crowbar of embryoage."
james only paying attention to monkeys is the best part of this video
The British Classic Car challenge is such a comedy gold mine
Oh they always made me laugh, best show ever!
9:03 he sounds like a dying seal😂
Ending goes hard
