I've never been happier for three guys I'll never meet.
*I bet I've watched this 10+ times and am always MAD as hell that there aren't 10 more of these Hillarious American Road Trips (with these 3) to enjoy.*
Mekrab J YES. Their trademark is cocking about, but my favorite is when they get a genuine win. Another reason why this is my favorite Top Gear episode of all time.
ive met james and richard but not jeremy yet, they pretty chilled

*Good Eye Samurai!!! I had to back it up twice to make sure I wasn't just seeing things. Ya know a 155mph in my STS is fast on the Road, but DAMN it Man!!! 176mph is FAST AF, on a loose granular surface. 0.o*

Find it funny how Jezza wasnt happy with beating a record for production cars, and then proceeds to beat the record by around 10 mph, mad respect for that
Mph, but yes. Badass!
I'm going to say it: if Jeremy wanted to be a professional racecar driver, he would probably have multiple European Circuit Championships. He really puts pride into his driving. (As well as humor when you consider the world's smallest car and the Winnebago. 🤣)
0:41 is the reason why i love this show ahahahaha

Flat tires help in turns. On accelleration and braking the best is to use a more filled tire.

I wonder sometimes, what if Jeremy Clarkson was American?
176 MPH in a standing mile on salt? That's pretty damn impressive when you think Matt Farah from TheSmokingTire did the same speed on asphalt.
@oogabooga ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Being called Cpt Slow does not actually mean that James can't drive. He's not inferior to the others despite the tons of jokes about him.

" If we go left, spinning wildly out of control, it doesn't mean we hadn't had a problem." May is the best...
...it means that we hadn't been able to go to the right! 🤣🤣
british top gear is so much better than us top gear
+max penrose Yes. The BBC/UK TOP GEAR was the ONE and ONLY ! The "USA Top Gear version" isn't worth one second of your time. It STINKS !
And now... sadly... the "ORIGINAL" is no more... which means, the "original Top Gear" now STINKS.
Unbelievable ! I NEVER would have thought I'd be saying that about "Top Gear".
I'm from the USA. The fact that "TOP GEAR"... hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond is no longer broadcast, is like losing good friends. It is a lousy feeling of EMPTINESS and BETRAYAL.
This really makes me, and probably you too, as well... wonder what the hell is wrong with the BBC... as much as it does, angry and disgusted.
+NetworX chill out
now though since the two new guys, the american one IS the better one by default.
sooooooooo THAT'S where we are in the world today.
For shame, BBC
you still get Amazon Prime in the U.S right?
NetworX grand tour
9:17 "He's celebrating in the Honey Bucket" lol
I would love to see the engine temps on that challenger.
Electric fan will still move a lot of air through the radiator, it just pulls from underneath instead of through the grill in that case.
I liked the fact they were genuinely happy for each other reaching their own targets
Mystic guru of the flats
Exactly
With Canadian accents
@@suspicioususer I think that was minnesotan
they exist
Not a car guy but I agree
"We've been ambitious, and for the first time successful".
That line has almost become as repeated as "in the world".
Clarkson's "mornin" always gets me 😂🤣😂
That shot at 8:04 of the air coming off the back of the Corvette is spectacular.
0:27 'Clarkson, you infantile pillock. You're tidying that up.'
The howl of that Corvette is intoxicating.
This is what I loved about Top Gear: spectacular cars, enthusiasm, races, sweat, some infos about cars and true emotions of the presenters, like Clarkson truly astonished when he reaches his target.
You may complain about the fact that Top Gear will never be like this, but I think that the old presenters won't be either.
@valleywoodworker I've seen the TGT episode where they try to build a reef and I almost wished they died. It wasn't funny at all, they looked like three dumbasses and Hammond says that he can't swim when it's been seen in the TG episodes that he could.
@@Snarl616 grand tour is what happens when Amazon threw too much money at them, gave them free reign, and they couldn't use a lot of the stuff from Top Gear.
I think if they approached Grand Tour as three friends that wanted to share their love of cars, instead of three kids that just received a massive payday, it could have been even better than Top Gear.
But as it stands, that Era of Top Gear was lightning in a bottle, and no other car related media is gonna come close for a while.
Even Full Throttle, as great as it is, is still missing that sense of adventure that Top Gear had.
Duct Tape. Is there anything it CAN'T do?

Rare heartwarming moment at the end, they were all so genuinely excited to reach their goals
I like how they were genuinely rooting for each other in this one.

Say what you will about American muscle cars, but every one of those guys had a great time wringing out that Detroit sweet music!!!
No of those cars were made in the shit hole of destroit.
Highlander Freelancer He did not say they were made in Detroit ya stool
Highlander Freelancer you must be salty because you got your rice bucket civic smoked by a V6 challenger 😅
i mean only one of them was a muscle car
Clarkson saying "mornin" in a fake American accent is my new favorite thing.
Mohrnin'
It's so wholesome how they were all genuinely happy and excited for one another when they all hit their targets
I'm around the same age as these three. In the 70s you heard so much about the Bonneville Salt Flats. It's hard to explain to younger people but anyone interested in popular mechanics type stuff in the 70s was constantly reading about the BSF. That and the SR-71 Blackbird. I can still picture in my head the Life magazine photo shoots of the SR-71.
Nice B-25 Mitchell!
My thoughts exactly.
war thunder?
Will Tyrolt No, real life
@@friedoreogaming3471 I love War Thunder. But come on people knew these aircraft existed before War Thunder was a thing...
One of the coolest planes ever made
2:06 is probably the coolest thing they've done on Top Gear. Still gives me chills.
Jeremy "Salt Fever" Clarkson
Richard "144" Hammond
James "Queue Barger" May
I love how they all really wanted to hug each other so much....but remained composed
Specially as Hammond just came out of the toilet without washing his hands.
Got to keep it factual for their visas
The pressure boundary coming off the rear lip spoiler at 8:04 is sick
How tf do you see something like this at this resolution?

Lol "mornin"
+DowellForPASenate thanks I love it
they did managed to blend in.. i guess?
The dude that was greeted by the orangutan didn't even budge..
1:05 Ooohh nice catch, you caught the Union Pacific Heritage Unit, this one is in a fantasy-ish livery of the Western Pacific, a railroad that eventually became part of the UP system.
This is honestly one of the most perplexing places I've ever driven. When you first start out you feel the pull of the car and all that but you kind of adjust to it. Thing is there is just salt for *miles*. You have no frame of reference aside from your speedo for how fast you are moving. It's the most amazing thing.
Clarkson did really well. That was a good speed for a regular car enthusiast.
00:42
"Mornin"
Camouflage 100%
Clarksons American voice at 0:41 is hilarious lol
Mornin'. Oh my gosh that was funny! That's my favorite part of this whole episode. I live in Nevada and have a neighbor who's from that area and he always says Mornin'.
0:42.
onemeanbadger I will start saying this from now on
Lol Mormin'.
Yes they captured the small town atmosphere rather well, I love living out in the sticks!
I was at the 3 mile marker and heard them racing the mile. it was really neat watching the helicopter chase them.
0:26
James May: Clarkson, you _infantile _*_pillock._* *You're tidying that up.*
I love how Clarkson was trying to pretend he didn't know what was going on either XD then tries to blame James
James: "CLARKSON!"
Jeremy: "What?"
James; "I know it's you"
Richard: "What are you doing?"
Jeremy: "We're up to 40 miles per hour in the Bago, it's James! Come on!
Richard: "I was asleep!"
Jeremy: "Where's May?"
James: "Oh pack it in! I'm on the throne! Clarkson it's not funny!"
0:27 to 0:37 "Clarkson you infantile pillock, you’re tidying that up"
0:00 to 0:37 best bit
Right here I'm on the throne! Bastard, it's not funny!
I love this one so much for these reasons:
The genuine joy they have for each other after finally beating their times
The "Salt Guru"
The guy in white and blue doing his little move to let them know when to take off
0:40 Clarksons most american word ever
I think that this video shows just how good of friends they really are. They were truly happy for each other
The wholesomeness of this ending is amazing
*“At **9:00** the event began and we immediately bought some hats so we'd blend in”*
*MORNIN*
At 0:34 in the video, by the way.
Besides “cheese” I think “infantile pelok” is truly one of the most iconic things James has said
U forgot "cock"
00:41 is one of the reasons Clarkson is so damn funny!!!
One of the most beautiful moments in Top Gear.
The Salt Flats is truly something amazing!
“James middle name cue barger”
“ I like this game” 😂😂
OOOOIII!!
5:05... I have never been on salt, but less air is for traction in sand and the "growing" concept is for drag racing. For top speed, traction becomes secondary as You are already rolling. Over inflating the tire buldges the tread surface at the center thus reducing the contact patch resulting in less friction which reduces rolling resistance.
"Clarkson you infantile pillock!" Got me every time lol
ur a legend if your watching this 11 years later
if u survive atleast
7:05 the best way to overheat your engine😂😂😂
1:23 is one of the coolest shots of a car I have ever seen.
What a stand out case of just hanging with the boys these three are. Nothing but love for the three of them.
I swear it’s the funniest thing when may goes full British and says “Clark son you infentile peloc you are tidying that up”
damn the zr1 is so sick
It´s so nice seeing them all celebrate their success together. That happens very rarely.
Two things - 176mph on salt, man alive that car must be quick!! Hammond celebrating in the honey bucket!!! Classic!
Pretty awesome to see the three happy for each other.
The first minute 30 of this is absolutely perfect.
The happiest I'll ever be for these guys
9:27
wierd how they rag on American cars but we just watched them fall in love
They rag on every car unless it's an Aston Martin...
+Zero 0 You forgot Jaguar
+Zero 0 and Alfa
+Zero 0 Or Hammond with a Porsche.....
+Alex Donohoe and bmw
You see excitement like this all the time at salt flats. It's truly an experience. That's why they shouldn't ban salt flats racing.
ANd, we've been FACTUAL! **fades to black
A.S. H. *Fades to black*
"AND, we've been factual!" lol
That "Mornin" really cracked me up for some reason. 😂
1:04 UP 1983 Western Pacific Heritage Unit
Jeremy: "We have to get the wheels spin off EXACTLY right, every gear change EXACTLY right, we have to get our line in the salt EXACTLY right, every bit of the run would have to be..."
Me: EXACTLY right..
Jeremy: Perfect...
You got your first reply after 7 years :)

"He's celabrating in a honey bucket..." HAHAHAHAHAHAH I'm dead! hAHhA
Top Gear avec ses trois là c'est juste la meilleur émission du monde.
I have really grown to like this show. These guys are hilarious, and Yes, I am Extremely jealous of their jobs!
Never been more happy for the Top Gear crew than at the ending of this video!
The joy in watching these three achieving their goals feels so satisfying. I can feel the same amount of joy they have
I loved this episode! To see them all so excited and happy, and James even leaped for joy, was great! And to end it with James saying "And, we've been factual" cracked me up!
Well done boys ! Always love the challenges, did'nt expect the Corvette to steal the show.
Dude at 5:16 was right about letting air out. That only works on tarmac tho
That final moment of success was beautiful.
one of the most wholesome of wholesome videos ever.
"...And we've been factual..." haha I'm not buying it when you say it like that :P
This was one of their best episodes
The first 30 seconds of this video is pure gold 😂😂😂
WOW THAT WAS FACTUAL. NEVER HAVE I SEEN ANYTHING MORE INFORMATIVE IN MY LIFE !
