Polish- "lets get to work boys"
The french person costs 10x as much as well.
@@BachelorChowFlavour Indeed, poles are a cheap workforce even to this day
Jezza: put concrete on the car floor
French:disgusting

Just like in 1939.
@@lucianonahuelgomez1374 The French are indeed very arrogant
"Let's just make the fuel tank smaller"
"Let's just cover the floor in concrete"
Two ideas that should never be intertwined.
They could have easily levelled the floor without concrete as well... but it's for fun
Or even more "We have to move the Petrol tank to make room for the real wood-burning fireplace."

0-60 in 35 seconds, handling like an ocean liner, and a auto removable chimney. This truly is the car of the future
Clarkson does it again.
Better than modern SUVs.
I absolutely adore the way the blokes Jeremy hired do exactly as he says, and they do it with mad grins on their faces. I feel like each of them is great fun to have around or a beer with.
I say that in the African special they did even better then that car and did it better then the motor homes these three blokes have with three different styles all three learned how make it better and even better
That's what happens when blokes work together. We revert back to children, the more dangerous and stupid the more we connect. It doesn't matter what language we speak, we're all the same.
I live in the Netherlands and we have a LOT of Polish immigrants here. Trust me when I say that every single pole is like this. They do the job you ask for, no questions asked, they do it decently as well, then they just go home and likely have a few beers (or a few too many) and rinse and repeat the next day 😂 also, every single one of em is nice as hell and very humble
@@revursed2069 Nice as "Hell"! :) That's quite a complement. Immigrants usually are. Especially the 1st gen immigrants. If you wanna see their real colors though, you have to go the country of origin. :) And then you see the real reason why they left their country!
@@ollie2244 Blokes are chill, no front, not bitching, not backstabbing. Girls on the other hand... my god the amount of front and passive aggressive bitching amongst each other. And lets not forget how closed off they are to men.
“How old are you, Jeremy?”
“Nine”
nein
2:02
thank you 1998 Subaru Impreza 22b STI very cool
"Really? Going on five, I think."
I like how the designer was useless and the Polish chaps did a pretty nice job.
Is this a reference to WW2?
@@nithyanandamvinukonda8372 No... but now you made me see it. In a way...
That's pretty much every construction job.
@@mrichar9 as a designer myself in the pipeline industry, this hurts. Can I have my moment when the contractor blamed a faulty design on me but it was faulty because he gave me wrong info?
Typically how it goes when it comes to building houses anyways.. they ignore reality and what is reasonable, and what the customer wants, and design what they want..
“REGRAIN CONTROL OF THE COTTGE”
i fucking died hearing that
"Regain control of the cottage"... Might use that phrase next time the housework is overdue 🤣
REGRAIN
yep that's the quote that got me
I like Clarkson's idea of a quaint ride, but May would have actually designed it well.
and brown
I think Clarkson has the credentials. I’m basing it all off of the violent amount of tweed he’s wearing.
It May designed it everything would be corduroy.
May is just so damn smart.his toy show is awesome.lego house episode was one of my favs.
Yeah, look at the limousine challenge. Much better.
"This is why you gave in in the war, "it's too difficult"." Well he speaks his mind.
That is not how you use quotation marks, my friend. Close, but not quite.
French people are generally like that.
exactly, meanwhile the polish soldiered on despite the odds. just like the war
@@SharpForceTrauma what
the polish government actually never surrended, and became a government in exile during ww2. And the 1944 warsaw uprising was the biggest military effort taken by a resistance movement in ww2
Love how May says the brake lights are an MOT fail, as if unsecured chairs sliding round, loose globes and pots clattering and a stopping distance the length of a football pitch would've been just grand
I'd like to have seen them put it in for one! The list of failures would probably have been bigger than Hammond's Lanchester!
Still safer than a cybered trukkk.
I don’t know - I mean, Peugeot’s are allowed on the streets.
theres also the lack of seatbelts and the ceiling lamp that blocks the rear windshield
5:37
the reaction by Hammond is priceless. gets me in stitches every time
Yeah, I especially like how James looks a little mischievous when Hamster says they took it out for a test drive
I can imagine health and safety having multiple heart attacks when Hammond and may were testing the car
You can see through the windows that during all inside scenes car was barely moving.
Speeding scenes are fake with proper seat.
As usual.
They have heart attacks when Hammond drives *any* car
@@ukranaut the car itself is slow on its own though
@@ukranaut I mean, the car is slow as hell as is
Good. Buggers need to lighten up.
A Brit, a Frenchwoman and three Poles operate on a German. Patient dead.
Added: Oh boy, the comments under this relatively harmless joke really took off. But good to know some people got a laugh out of my humble jest. Careful to anyone who steps below - I may have accidentally started another world war.

Sry mamen
+xx-thomas38-xx No problem ;)
The 3 sentences you never want to hear your driver say:
"Regain control of the cottage."
"That is bleeding quite a lot."
"James, I can see double."
When husband is arguing with his wife
The way May and Hammond are just sliding around in the car is hilarious every time I watch this clip
"Regain control of the cottage!"
Shut the fuck up
We need more of Hammond and May. This combo is rarely used.
Now we have only Hammond and may
+DILLON ROSS Jeremy is not in the series anymore , didn't to know?

+Lego Jackman Christ you're behind on the times aren't you.
Aiman Zaki - well, they've had some tests together like the "spend 24 hours in a car" challenge, darts/conkers games, "cab driving" two times or the greatest races versus Jeremy old chap :)
4:51 you can see her in the back and she's the only person not clapping lol
Oh my god I never noticee her there
She is still pissed..!!! hahahaa
Lol she folds her arms too. :D
Oh boy, she looks pissed like hell. XD
Oh yeah, yellow jacket, white trousers
Pissed off
In her defense, she probably thought this was her big break where she was gonna get to show her design ethos that she'd been working on all her life to the world, and, after some arguing when she realized it would be "set design" (which it was, it's for TV), she did a good job designing what was eventually built.
in her defence, the whole thing was probably scripted.
@@matthewleong2726 I doubt it. Jeremy and the producers walked in there with a plan, for sure, but no way was this written out line-for-line in advance.
She was most probably asked to be critical towards Jeremy to make whole skit funnier.
I’m sure she was in on the joke. In the real world, a designer and who was at odds that completely with their client would have either left the project, or shut up and did what the client asked so that they could get paid and moved on. They wouldn’t have stuck around, arguing in front of cameras and doing interviews.
But surely a good thing to show off is the fact you can actually listen to a client, understand a brief and do as you're told in the first place?
"Regain control of the cottage!"
Never fails to break me
"Regain control of the cottage" hahahahahaha :D
"How many of you are Polish?" hahahahhaa
The metaphor about the Poles and the French according to war was brilliant :P
Im Polish too!
Why would you call yourself a whore?
LukeInside well they both did have the best resistance movements in the war, and the most vicious pushback to occupation
Me
“Yeah, I’m bleeding quite a lot...”
I'm seeing double!
Ah the glory days of top gear. Have to love Jeremy's one-liners like "We'll try it my way first, and then we'll finish it"
I like the extremely French way she pronounces "Jeremy". Sounds almost like an exasperated curse word.
Sounds hot
I swear she made me believe it was a mild swear "Jelly me!".
It is
4:14
i thought she was cursing
They missed the opportunity to make the steering wheel one of those antique plates that everyone's mum seems to have.
Ehah genious
I would hesitate to ask 'Whose ashes' when shown the ash tray

“With Anglo-French relations are an all-time low...”

@@Dragoneer None, really. They've gone through a lot of presenters and only recently stumbled upon a combination that seems to have some chemistry

"This is why you lost the war".
"When you hear this, just hear Agincourt"
"Ask them, they're Polish, they'll know".
LOL. Gotta love Clarkson.
not Agincourt, Azincourt (1415)
Oh, you mean one of the battles of yet another war where the French beat up the Brits?
Not so genius to bring up the 100 Years War since Jeremy's nation was the loser.
@@litamtondy Azincourt was a great victory for the British army. It seems that the French during this battle didn't have enough fighting spirit. It's a pity but it's true.
@@DL-ls5sy The 100 Years War was a great victory for the French. It seems like the British were not good enough. It's true. So yeah, kind of dumb to brag about a battle from a war YOU LOST.
@@litamtondy No. Jeremy's nation was the winner ! and the Frogs were the loser
"We'll try it my way first and then we're finished." Adopting that.
The designer just moaned whilst the builders were loving it😂😂
Even to this day, there is no car show that even comes close to being this entertaining.
I doubt there ever will. It would probably derivative.
Thats because its an entertainment show that features cars . I wouldn't describe it as a car show , you don't need to like cars to like this
8:29 "regain control of the cottage"😂😂😂😂😂
"How about this: we'll try it my way...and then we'll finish it." Lollll
I love the fact that they put the wood fire stove near where the fuel tank is. Nothing could possibly go wrong lol
4:51 she is behind Jermey not clapping at all when he introduces his masterpiece. Triggerd.
she was there
In the green top, wow I never noticed before. And to be fair she does start clapping.
@@Shakes-Off-Fear you can also see her laughing after Richard's comment
She was a good straight man for Jeremy's absurdity.

@@andrewtucker94 Whether or not she is French is irrelevant, since what you are seeing here is not the a realistic representation of the French attitude, but a manifestation of British prejudices about the French (most likely she is in on the joke and in her own way is mocking Jeremy and the British perception of the French).

------ Jeremy Clarkson
Deisnger with French Accent : Becauase who cares abot what the customer wants!
The customer is king but the customer doesn't always know what he wants. The goal of a designer is to make something nice, anybody can draw what he/she wants on a piece of paper.
Oh i know that, i used to be a salesman.
But freaking after being told 3 times what you want xD
XD
He asked for quaint not modern
Lucky Luke false, you could be asked to design an execution chamber. That's not going to elegant and modern is it.
The role of a designer is to turn the customers idea into reality.
If you ask a joined to fit you a door, and he fits a a window instead and says ''you just don't know what you want and have no idea about design'' they would get a punch.
If she said, Jeremy sorry but the floor isn't structurally capable of what you want, that's acceptable critique, not I don't agree therefore I just won't do what your asking
4:14 lol I love how exasperated she is with him.
Lmao I absolutely love how her and Clarkson constantly bicker and pull no punches.

+Jacob Woods If you had sort of quilted wingbacks but on rollers like normal car seats, it could work.
But I think the fireplace would be a bit hazardous, as demonstrated here, the chimney mightn't work and the smoke could be a problem too.
+Jacob Woods Do it! Im building a pimp mobile (on a budget) and I already have plans for a fountain in the back!
The problem is your are going to die when the damn car catches fire.
+Jacob Woods I think you could get away with it much easier in a Ford Transit of even an old VW Campervan - combine the looks and feel of a wingback chair with a modern car seat (I suppose you're not far off studded leather racing seats with extra cushioning!).
