@Philippe Ernst cheapo off-brand equipment (fake of an off-brand in the case of the MDS amplifier - as in not a "real" MD Sound lol), and probably wired / adjusted incorrectly haha... the amplifier wattage is also overrated, more like 230 watts RMS both amplifiers combined... cheap inefficient Class AB designs... it won't sound THAT bad in person though, sounds like the microphone was placed too close and was overloading
The reason why he mentioned it was built in either 1959 or 1976 is because it was probably bought from Thailand (those are thai lorry licence plates) and thai ppl count year in buddhist era Both year translates to 2502 BE and 2520 BE respectively, so the seller probably confuses year 02 with year 20 somewhere along the line
"James, your crane is too small!" "He dragged that miserable insect all the way here, for nothing." That was a great episode, a true classic to add to collection.
Unless this was filmed in 2001 and they all look old and decrepit for no reason, then it was well after bass boosting had become a meme. It's just come 'round again, that's all.
I noticed that too.. he could have better compared to that big, tax payer's money guzzling useless home for that old lady who is just living on this earth to have tea and match her hat and dress colour.
I confess I miss the trio when they worked for the BBC. The Grand Tour stuff is good but the bigger budget seems to have sucked some of the magic away with it.
In 8th grade band we were given the “Colonel Bogey March”, or the song that the prisoners whistle in bridge over the river Kwai. When I mentioned the film and the scene that the song is played, the other kids made fun of me. Then the substitute teacher said the exact same thing and I emerged from that band room a new man, based in fact and not likely to stray to the temptations of ignorance.
Only just fully realised that at 0:25, the sound of the engine squeekily shitting itself is just edited in and his lorry doesn't make that sound at all. The exact same sound can be heard at 1:02 on the "How to demolish a house" video when Richard is picking up tea. That video is from 2011, this is 2014.
That shot of James when Jeremy's banging stereo is going BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR is absolutely priceless.
I loved this Special, a delight from start to finish. Clarkson is equally at his most infuriating (particularly when nearly flattening James) and oddly endearing (with his clear fondness for teddy bears), and the Hamster also shows an unexpected side: his patience at Jeremy's loafing. The new Top Gear trio (Flintoff, Harris & McGuinness) are fun enough despite what appears to be a lower budget, but I miss the edgier days of these three! Buy it!
I'm thai and I can tell you that hammond's lorry actually bought in Thailand Looked at its unique license plate at the bottom says "Kanchanaburi" Which is one of the provinces in central Thailand one of the provinces close to Burmese border to the west.
Hammond is the only one who's wearing the required south asian lorry driver uniform.
😂
cute little outfits in this one
Until around the nineties, that was the global lorry driver's standard uniform.
They’re in southeast asia though
Shitty ac be hitting like a mf
"Modern lorry drivers are crisp, and sharp." Best line ever if you sound it out in Clarkson's accent.
...enter Hammond in his jorts and tank top.
Chris Barrows when I read this comment that happened! XD
Literally the best line he's ever said
😂😂😂😂
2:37
2:21 looks like the loud music triggered flashbacks for May when he got his stereo messed up in the teenage cars episode hahah
Missed opportunity from James gluing Jeremy's stereo as well.
@@ringoferrer2343 Jeremy would’ve lost his hearing haha
Actually, Jeremy said "baingin stereo" before opening the door
The tricks were brilliant
2:20
the ear-splitting bass combined with James' look of utter confusion and disdain is the purest form of comedy
Jeremy: Banging stereo.. Do you want to hear it?
James: No not really
*turns stereo on*
Boooophooooovoooodoooooooooooo
dont know how he kept a straight face
Sicko mode
ear rape

"At this point, Hammond arrived, with a glovebox of strong pornography, and egg on his vest."~Jeremy Clarkson, 2014.
*BEST QUOTE EVER!!!*
*2014.
Eoin Maher No, it was filmed in 2013. Search "River Kok". ;)
But it was broadcast in 2014 ;D
+Eoin Maher Oh you have a point. EDITED
Gets me every time
This was an EPIC episode.
Epic special
Denkw
Pinhead Larry An episode is longer, but BBC puts smaller parts on youtube; for money ofc.
This is a highlight of the episode you yob.
Sure was man!!
3:54 did James hurt his hand on Jeremy’s lorry paint.
Yes
It probably burned him.
Probably was very hot because it being in the blazing sun and also near the engine.
i thought he cut himself on chipped paint or something
No it’s rust
I love the last part where they build the bridge on River Kok
lol, big spoiler there!
Lol ! And finally they made their way through the bridge !
But there was a slope on it !!!
CZcamsCZcams that wasnt in this video
CZcamsCZcams Oh Kok. . .
the more i think about the switch labeled "?" the more i laugh
+DaHuntsman1 I must be missing something, could you explain? :D
+Tauroo WoW On James dashboard was a button he labled with "?" because he couldn't figure out what it did. You can see it at 1:50
+Tauroo as far as I know that's the symbol for a cigarette lighter
I think its better that the way James wrote hazards it looks more like wizards. So its: wizards?
Collin I would like to pull it while going at 100 km/h on a highway
2:23
I just Imagined a James standing idle in the corner of a loud night club with a bored expression.
“BMW 325I and this almost identical” 🤣🤣🤣 I love Clarkson’s references
2:17 Automotive students showing off the massive sub they put in their car to everyone they can.
That intro by Jeremy Clarkson, he says "I've bought a Stereo a comb and I got a lorry included in the price" is something only he would say
"James, your crane is too small!"
"He dragged that miserable insect all the way here, for nothing."
That was a great episode, a true classic to add to collection.
Clarkson has achieved deep fried memes
2:18 Top Gear genuinely inventing the earrape
0:30 "I've bought a stereo"
Basically summarized the ownership experience of my 2017 GMC Terrain.
Clarkson listening to bass boosted songs before bass boosting became a meme
No-one:
Jeremy clarkson: *its free real estate*
The least funny and most juvinile meme ever
He's also recorded having said "Yeet" at some point in the 90s. The man's a meme machine
Unless this was filmed in 2001 and they all look old and decrepit for no reason, then it was well after bass boosting had become a meme. It's just come 'round again, that's all.
2:55 "what is that? A lorry or a Hindu temple?"- James May. Best!
I noticed that too.. he could have better compared to that big, tax payer's money guzzling useless home for that old lady who is just living on this earth to have tea and match her hat and dress colour.

The thumbnail is adorable XD
2:20 Now whenever I hear that I just think Top Gear got a little on the dank side
The Wolf with the Dragon fr do
hahhahahahhaaha me too
The Wolf with the Dragon a
Whats that song
It’s amazing how these lorries despite how bruised and battered they were they were able to make it all the way to the end.
"How much does yours weigh?"
"About a thousand tons!"
lol

what is Hammond wearing lolol
+Marc Wikina it's a vest with egg on it
+Marc Wikina Clothes. He is wearing clothes.
+Zero the Greninja lol
Aurichalum barely. underwear and shorts
a vest with egg on it
1:54 "I don't know what it does, so I'll put a label with a question mark on it."
Haha😂😂
Kི.Dི E͛P͛I͛C͛ .

Probably nitrous
Pull that and see.
4:46 richard quietly saying “where’s thailand”
at 3:54 James put his hand on Jeremy's lorry and flinches when he realises how hot it is
He hurt his hand on the peeling paint...
Thomas Autengruber could be either hahahaha
Almost missed it
@@NiallStrat They had peeled it minutes earlier without flinching.
2:20 I though my speakers broke down :D
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHA :D
Lol same!😂
Same.
basically Jeremy invented ear rape
Mine didn't...
But my car stereo failed when I played it in m y car on my laptop...
Marko Becić
Fun fact: If you type “sports lorry” into the CZcams, this is first thing that CZcams finds.
I want a compilation of Jeremy's "and i was the first to arrive" that would be so golden
There is one. Just Google it
The way Clarkson says "crisp" is crisp.
"Hay"
*"No"*
"Turnips"
*"No"*
"Kale"
*"Heroin"*
Rice was my first guess.
@@mirzaahmed6589 right? Like Burmese people do grow crops, as they do eat food, right?
@@davidrausch7941 no, they only eat heroin.
Covodex Yeah same
@@covodex516 Well you can't eat very much rice if you're passed out all the time.
Clarkson "You've bought a heroin lorry."
Hammond quietly to himself "That's alot of heroin..." 👌
2:19 please help, i cant breathe💀
I'm so used to ytp of this intro, "Well, I actually bought a crusch" that I forgot the original version
2:20 Jeremy Clarkson blasted Earrape! XD
2:19
Our elderly friend masters the youthful comedy of "Earrape"
I've already seen "Hammond's crispy lorry" I can't get it out of my head😆
Banging stereo!
For me tunes!
*Turns on classical music*
That banging stereo dropped the base *HARD*
*Hammond's Crispy Lorry*
Hammond with his wife beater shirt lmao
0:24 every truck/bus game brakes
yea i dont beleave every bus/truck games got the sound effects from top gear lol
4:28 love it.
Clarkson's truck takes forever to shut down
"Is that a lorry or an Hindu temple?" that one killed me lmao
That opening shot is absolutely breathtaking
From a time when Top Gear and this trio were great fun to watch.
What an inspiring yet entertaining special that was.
huiopk
2:21 I'm dying 💀💀💀
visit before it turn into a warzone
3:27 heroin lorry 😂😂
2:05 Pretty identical.
Banging stereo! ( turns it up and sounds distorted as hell)
I cannot hear the original video after watching the ytp lmao
Crisp lorry
Top gear should do more lorry specials there are the best. :)
2:20 Truly amazing
I love James' entry with a Bollywood song in the background, which for some reason it fits perfectly.
This might've been my favorite episode of the show honestly
me too its hilarious
I feel so lucky to live in a time to have witness this show!
2:21 Jeremy Clarkson Invented the triggered sound effect
This special and the Africa special are the 2 best specials imo
YES!
@@Xpertgamingtech oh hi xpert, I didn't expect for you to reply lol

2:46 where gta got the disco bus from
Hammond was loving it when he was coming
James has bought a van. God i love the way jeremy talks
"Is it a lorry ore a hindu tempel?" best line by far 😂😂
2:21 kid:let Me on my favourite song
These top gear specials are seriously the best
I'm thai and I can tell you that hammond's lorry actually bought in Thailand
Looked at its unique license plate at the bottom says "Kanchanaburi"
Which is one of the provinces in central Thailand one of the provinces close to Burmese border to the west.
The Three Comrades, I love them, I swear.
0:56 *430,920 miles*
That music when James comes in ! Classic XD.
thank god these exist, i couldnt watch top gear back in the day
Mad respect to manual transmission Truck drivers.
2:18 Top Gear was doing earrape before it was popular
arguable the greatest episode of them all
YTP cones to mind when Jeremy says how powerful the Stereo is
I would really want to go on a trip like this with the Hammond, May and Clarkson
I would totally travel the world with richard hammond
The blood splatter @3:33 really makes this episode.
Love that Isuzu Sports Lorry looks rugged and powerfully fast!!!
I watched so many times Hammond’s Crispy Lorry that now I’m surprised whenever Jeremy doesn’t says 400 times stereo while describing his one
Jeremy: Banging Stereo. You want to hear it?
James: Not really. I expect it’s got-
Jeremy: *Turns It on anyway*
James: "NOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST TURN ON THE SUBWOOFERS!!"
Subwoofers: "haha buuurrhhhhh"
Can’t believe it’s been 10 years since this special. What a time 🥲
this will always be one of the best shows
Now what would u say?
This comment hasn't aged well.
@@kw9849 Yeah, aged about as well as milk
2:20 best meme material
From all the top gear .. Burma edition ! Was most halarious and awesome
Built the bridge on the wrong river. Still remember those good ole days.
ohh come on!! where's the full version :(
these guys are the real entertainers!
What followed was a tale of EPIC proportions
Let’s have an appreciation for how he says “crisp” and “sharp”
Honestly Richard is adorable, clicked for the thumbnail :D
