This is my favorite part of top gear, no audience interaction, just the three of them talking over each other completely convinced the other two are wrong
The best part about these segment is you can absolutely tell if they switched off the cameras they'd be having the exact same discussion. Always been the reason top gear succeeded, they like each other and they are genuinely 100% interested in what they do.
It's very hard to fake chemistry between people, and these 3 had sincere, genuine, heartfelt chemistry in spades. Much of the reason why Top Gear has struggled since they left
The taxi episode is probably the best consumer focussed film this lot ever did. Ran through all the practical components of the cars, boot space, cabin space, comfort, usability and even price. On top of that, it was hilarious to watch.
James looks exactly the same now, just with grey hair. The other two look quite a lot different now than they did 10-15 years ago. Hammond because of the facial hair, Jeremy because of… many things.
@@icicle_ai Not at all. I think James has aged very well and doesn’t look much different now than he did 15 years ago, apart from the hair colour. Jeremy, who I love very much in his capacity as a television presenter and don’t want to disrespect by saying this, hasn’t really.
James has aged but no that much, just his hair going grey and some extra weight. Hammond has a different look and has aged a bit but doesn't look old. Jeremy has aged considerably and seems to be slurring his words a little more than he used to
I don't think the BBC would allow them to drink on air, so thars why the empties are all around and they likely just have water in the bottles they drink from, also, they drive too, so the BBC at the same time doesn't want to televise drinking then driving
@@devinmcleod3395 um the BBC allows drinking on TV all the time. And on top gear they drink alcohol in loads of episodes...wtf are you even on about. The empty cans are funny because it means they're probably drunk when having their discussions
@@dannywhite132 Calm down, big fella, I thought you were trying to say that they were faking it like a good portion of things in Top Gear. So um calm um down um um um um
I just always loved the vibe these chats had. Sitting down at some spot with a cup of tea and or coffee, maybe the occasional spirit, and just chatting about cars.
I wish these boys had a podcast, I would listen to them for hours, even though most people wouldn’t find these bits exciting, it’s this and the top gear news I enjoy the most when they’re interacting
Half peeled prawns, onion skin, a complete capsicum and God only knows what else was in that cauldron of Voodoo 🤔🤔🤔🤔 yucko, But that was awesome they had civil conversations , again another great Vid Cheers 👍👍👍👍
Honestly, the mums of Top Gear should have had their own series. Might not get them onto cars often without some assistance from the director, but they absolutely stole the show that episode and 100% nailed the verdict when the boys got it 100% wrong. They even rubbed it in further when they got the lads thinking like they do in their explaining of why they knew they were wrong. Mums (good ones like these and like mine) can be annoying for the most part -- especially when they stop you doing something, but they are almost always right. You'd be surprised how well-read they seem to be on issues they don't even care about. They're actually kind of scary in a way.
Honestly the best part of the show. No put-on theatrics with playing their own stereotypes , just sitting around a table having a friendly arguement. You get the impression that this is what they're like when the cameras are turned off as well, and that's what really seals the deal on their Top Gear, I think. Also, can I just say - this kind of vibe is like the british version of those Americana road trip things.
Only the convertible, not the coupe. He also said in that episode that the Crossfire convertible was better looking than the 350Z convertible and TT roadster.
Right off the bat, the S2000 vs Boxster and Z4. All good cars, but only one of them is a timeless legend which has yet to be replicated to this very day. As we step out of the time machine, we must recommend the S2000. Today in 2022 I'd buy the Boxster, because I can't afford an S2000.
Only just realised in the Spanish house when Jeremy's cooking they hinted at the "stab cows, throw donkeys off tower blocks and rip the heads off prawns"
You could say that in, literally, any given decade from now to the 1800s. The names and countries change but somehow the ineffable not-aging-well doesn't.
The 350z looks and looked way better than the Crossfire. Surely that should've won that challenge? I can't see how it's not better then the TT too, apart from maybe in comfort and luxury.
@@hybridAbsol Well yeah I have to admit since then Audi has done well with sports cars and after the GTR Nissan haven't. Even the GTR should've been replaced much earlier.
If they aren't going to continue doing the grand tour in the format we're acustom to, do this. As a podcast or as a live youtube/drive tribe video. I'd sit and watch/listen to them bicker about life/cars etc for hours
In another timeline not too far from ours, "Top Gear" is a sitcom with little to no script. They just force them to live together, give them car-related challenges, and turn the cameras on.
Did you notice May saying he's not really a 911 person. Weird that he went and bought one. He also sung the praises of the Rover 75 however on old Top Gear he criticised it for being too staid and traditional.
This is one of the main things I wish I had-other than money. Just two friends who were deeply knowledgable about cars, just so we could talk for hours about them.
This is my favorite part of top gear, no audience interaction, just the three of them talking over each other completely convinced the other two are wrong

usually a bit drunk as well lol

I like when Hammond says "Let's imagine this is a democracy" ... meaning "as opposed to a dictatorship where Clarkson gets his own way all the time" 😁
The best part about these segment is you can absolutely tell if they switched off the cameras they'd be having the exact same discussion. Always been the reason top gear succeeded, they like each other and they are genuinely 100% interested in what they do.

they all were getting hammered in many of them. But these are the early years unscripted
if these three created a podcast, it would be the most listened to podcast in the world.
Need to add the extended pause before “in the world”. Otherwise completely agree with you.
@@chriswitmer9754 It would be the most listened podcast...... *in the world*
Everyone that has access to the internet and is a Top Gear fan. Yes *in the world.*
I am surprised they haven't tbh
This needs to happen. They'd make bajillions.
I love these clips. Off-the-cuff quips, passionate, illogical discussions. Pure Top Gear humour.
You can tell these guys are really passionate about cars from these clips😎
but because i've seen all of them before so many times i know the context to them all lol
I love how well behaved Jeremy is around his mom😅

Legendary
pure shock of his face LOL
Brilliant 🤣
i dont get it
@@SoeJmithdid you saw what Jeremy cooked? 😂
2:44 Best bit, that imperceptible nod of approval from Richard knowing James is spitting pure facts.
That whole conversation was so pure.
That was such a good comparison to Munich, damn
That whole film was golden! Including James' 6 Series review just before the Pendine Sands bit.
May would say "if it were imperceptible, then how did you see it?"
He does it again at about 2:10
‘It’s like sorting the Middle East. Nowhere near as important obviously but just as impossible’ such an underrated quote
"Would it interfere with this debate, if I was suddenly and violently sick"
I don't see why it would.
He let his mates down by failing to be sick at #10.
The taxi episode is probably the best consumer focussed film this lot ever did. Ran through all the practical components of the cars, boot space, cabin space, comfort, usability and even price. On top of that, it was hilarious to watch.
The Minicabbing? Yeah
Jeremy throwing in shrimp tails and the outer skin of the onion is so fucking underrated lmfao.
Half a green pepper hahah.
"The problem with the Morgan IS... It is just a car that they forgot to stop making"... Brilliant.
*forgot to stop making in the 40s
Im in love with these clips; Jeremy in his infamous purple double layered-collar shirts, James with his dark hair and Hammond in his 30’s ..
3:30 my last 3 brain cells trying to put a sentence together
James looks exactly the same now, just with grey hair. The other two look quite a lot different now than they did 10-15 years ago. Hammond because of the facial hair, Jeremy because of… many things.
I think you've mixed up who jeremy and james are

I’ll say it for you then lol. I love all of them but jeremy looks like a used teabag or an overbaked pie now
James has aged but no that much, just his hair going grey and some extra weight. Hammond has a different look and has aged a bit but doesn't look old. Jeremy has aged considerably and seems to be slurring his words a little more than he used to
@@GoGetYourShinebox That's what 50 years of smoking and drinking does to you lol
2:38 James May perfectly explains how a trip to munich feels 😂
All of their moms are very objective and eloquent in their reviews of the cars. you can see where the trio get their presenting skills from.
I would have loved to see Jeremy talking about cars with his dad.
the very first bit is so sweet and domestic, may cooking while they discuss their cars over beer
The empty beer containers is always the best part

The mums are the best.
I still agree with Jeremy on the Honda S2000. What a superb car.
The S2000 is brilliant, but I’d have the Z4 personally.
I mean, there is a reason why s2k now is the most expensive than the other
@@muhammadiqbalmalikm649 30,000$ seems kinda fair
I love when they cook and talk, it really seems like they are good friends, even if they disagree
The three of them having dinner together at Clarkson's place to have an argument about cars is adorable xDD
This is why these three work so well together is precisely this chemistry
I just always loved the vibe these chats had.
Sitting down at some spot with a cup of tea and or coffee, maybe the occasional spirit, and just chatting about cars.
These comparisons were my favourite part of Top Gear.

Damn, their mums are so wholesome and sweet (and their interactions with them)! 🙂 And you Mr Mustang make incredible montages! ❤️❤️
I think Mrs. Hammond is the only one left now though :(
Half peeled prawns, onion skin, a complete capsicum and God only knows what else was in that cauldron of Voodoo 🤔🤔🤔🤔 yucko, But that was awesome they had civil conversations , again another great Vid Cheers 👍👍👍👍
10:28 Hammond's mum on the lack of legroom: "I didn't notice that!" 😂 Awwww!!
This show is the embodiment of "me and the boys"
These were the best parts of the show.
The most honest and down to Earth reviews.
Omg james and his mum speak in the exact same way that's amazing lmao
And Hammond’s mum looks exactly like him
@@aclarke7486 almost like she’s his mum or something 😂🤣
James was so spot on with the Munich comparison.
Totally 👌
Looking back at the first two sections of this compilation Jeremy couldn’t be more right about the S2000.
One of the most well aged takes on the show.
Don't know how this happened, Jeremy got the right car and it was James with the nonsensical arguments lol, 'it revs too high'
One other advantage the S2000 has, performance upgrades potentially high whereas the Boxster doesnt
11:13
"Though I wasn't driving top gear speed on the track"
Everyone else: "Oooooooooooo"
8:52 to Jame's ''buy a cook'' line, I haven't laughed harder in years at virtually anything else gahahahaaaa.
These 3 have great chemistry. That’s why we enjoy the show so much!
the thumbnail of this image is them sitting in a cafe called barnacles beach cafe in pendine wales owned by my family, very cool to see
by image i meant video *
it is is quite. a big chunk of the video this is so cool
Been waiting for one of these compilations for ages!
0:37 James might of had too much to drink 😅
Honestly, the mums of Top Gear should have had their own series.

Jezza and James loving the Holden makes me so proud as an Australian 😆

i could watch this with these 3 all day...miss it greatly....
these guys are so funny you could make a compilation of every word they say.
Love that episode with their mums, definitely one of my favourites
These bits I always loved but never thought anyone else would take notice of them as a distinct aspect of the show. And here’s a compilation!
Jeremy was right about the S2000
Richard right about the 911
Moms right about the Jazz/Fit
Mum's*
@@strawberrypencl They might be a Brummie
The episode with their moms is one of my favorites!
My favorite part of the show are this moments, it's like me talking with my friends.
why has Jezza's mum got the same hairdo as James?
I mean...
May: "I'm not sure what I'm less of; a woman or a race car driver."
Clarkson: "You've had experience with both."
Because, at heart, James is an elderly lady.
I loved these talks
Its these scenes that made Top Gear so popular.
Wait…Jeremy at some point liked the chrysler crossfire?
Oh lord
Anyway have a nice day 🙂
His thoughts on it didn't age well, much like the car itself.
Only the convertible, not the coupe. He also said in that episode that the Crossfire convertible was better looking than the 350Z convertible and TT roadster.
@@longtailgt I think the 350z looks better than both but I'd never get a convertible.
The Audi TT, Chrysler Crossfire, and Nissan 350Z are cars I would never consider owning, so this argument is moot to me.
James "feels like the cars smiliing 😂😂
Ferrari and Peaugot: LMAO
I have no knowledge of cars, but I would love to sit there and just listen to them and vibe
Right off the bat, the S2000 vs Boxster and Z4. All good cars, but only one of them is a timeless legend which has yet to be replicated to this very day. As we step out of the time machine, we must recommend the S2000. Today in 2022 I'd buy the Boxster, because I can't afford an S2000.

Oof. As of recent events, that didn't age well.
The middle east never does.
What's the episode?
You could say that in, literally, any given decade from now to the 1800s. The names and countries change but somehow the ineffable not-aging-well doesn't.
@@chrissamarotto Series 3 S2000 vs Boxster vs Z4 convertibles.
Is it just me or does the lighting at 3:20 make the scene look really comfy
Excellent!
That s2000 back then would have been bought instantly if they knew how much they'd hold their value
So glad I grew up with these wise men
Lol at Jeremy cooking paella with shells and skin 😆
My dad was floored when he saw the whole pepper in it when it was being served
Most of their discussions seem merely like a good excuse to get hammered. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
"What's this bulge in my pocket?"
I think it could be added to "top gear out of context compilation".
8:33. Yet another clip for the “it is/it isn’t” compilation I’m hoping for.
It’s a good one this Mustang.
Good work dude 👌
Seeing James May without grey hair feels unreal
Idk why but these amazing bros lookin young just puts a smile on my face
The first three seconds basically explains every Top Gear episode 🤣
This video is a blessing! My favourite thing about Top Gear other than the car reviews!
Closest thing we’ll get to a podcast with these three
The 350z looks and looked way better than the Crossfire. Surely that should've won that challenge? I can't see how it's not better then the TT too, apart from maybe in comfort and luxury.

They’re still about cars but they’ve earned the right to comedic chemistry.
Best one

I love how often they argue pro or con something, then the exact opposite in a different episode.
If they do this again in this day and age, it would be a weekly or monthly vodcast that people would watch
The irony of the first segment argument, the S2k is now way more expensive than the Z4 or Boxster.
I loved their mums! Actually quite sad when I heard Jeremy's mum had passed away.
Gotta love their moms they crack me up lol.
I love watching the boys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very Kieth Floyd vibe that i never knew i loved
Hope the future of Car Telly is watching this!
these challenges were the best, were they had to find out what car they liked the most, unanimously
