Break for the German Border Part 2 | Top Gear | BBC 

lol !

i'm surprised he didn't say "oh, cock" when his car ran out of fuel.

as a matter of fact he would stand by the director to witness a gun shooting (behand the scenes) and then say "OW!!!!"

he was too slow for that

They cur out the part where James yells "my ass" after the gunshot sound.

hollycrapitsjean123 so true he got lost going round their own racetrack

@@danielmathieson3779 May got lost racing a caravan on a oval track....

True

hollycrapitsjean123 “He got lost in his own museum once.”

I mean, he's managed to get lost on an oval race track

They won't advertise it cause they already know it. It's in their blood.

​@@Andrzej-uf2kg i would rather say go to Germany for holiday, your family tableware, art and gold are...still there

@@ukiklapa Christ! A bit keen

Prairielander :D

In the uk driving on the motorway knowing you're going to run out of fuel is illegal.

Prairielander that's sad

On Alberta Highway 93 maybe

@John Ross my ranger has never done more than 300mi without the light coming on. I tried and had to put a new fuel pump in last week

:I Nope. At least not when it comes to driving on the Autobahn (as they are doing). You'll get one fine for stopping the car on the speedway + another fine if you walk on the Autobahn (for an exit, etc.).

+:I it's true, if your car runs out on the highway/autobahn or Bundesstrasse, you get fined because you endangered traffic and it would be your fault for not checking fuel. also, for violating the highest german values of cars and beer. don't ever spill beer...

***** we figured the last times we actually tried going there and oppress the people or put the min forced labor, it wasn't that lucky and also reaaally expensive. so now we just import them. even pay for transportation themselves. ^^

+thecursed01 that would be why James was shot then?

ABRPRO yes. running out of gasoline means you don't respect your car. we shoot people like that^^

Well James you ran out of fuel and then you were shot so that's a no

Haha that's clever

Well James you’ve been shot and killed by a German soldier after failing to escape the country and have crossed over into the ethereal plane where you must linger for eternity so that’s a no.

"Well, James, seeing as how you ran out of fuel and got shot to death by our producers...no."

@@JetFalcon710 ja der wurde abgeschleppt.

I'm sure the cars in front and in front of the camera car were doing the same speed. It's not all Hammond.

Nah, I noticed it a couple of years back, possibly 4 or 5 years ago.

no

@@rabato1064 true

HAMMOND!!!

Tutilio did you not watch the video

Does that mean he’s not coming on?

So does that mean he’s not coming on then?

He's still alive, and still appears in Top Gear until 2015 (at the time when Jeremy punched someone)

Mr. Slowly

I LOVE SPREADING MISINFORMATION

@@saltybuttpepper1766 its not misinformation, he was obviously shot after this was filmed and i think we should all pay our respects to the late james may.

@@rastacat I LOVE LYING ON THE INTERNET

@@saltybuttpepper1766 its not lying on the internet, for further proof that he is gone you must look at the episode where they rob a bank and escape from the rozzers. as you can see, james drives his car off a cliff and is THEREFORE DEAD.

@@rastacat OK stop replying now

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!! James May ladies and gentlemen is about to be shot!

Well, don't gloat!

***** Eyy James what's up. Why is he on the side of the motorway?

Well, I’m very sorry to say goodbye to You and everything. But You know, You’re going to be shot, Your going to be out

Famous last words

About the new ford!

Pyllymysli The fuel economy on the new Ford Mondeo is exceptional.

And on that bombshell its time too end...goodnight?

The "DEAD" is the winner. (spoilers alert)

jakub wojciechowski lol from the ep were james got shot by mamseter in a tank-

this TopGear is so much better than the 2016 one.

Agreed.

So true

Top Gear 2016 is like a total reboot that sucks.

Lol

Yes, you can. In Europe, in most cases, we speak different languages in different countries. Sometimes languages are so different that we even don't understand each other 😀👍

Zgorzele, is one of my favorite cities in Middle Europe, alongside Szczebrzeszyn, Chrząszczyżewoszyce, Białowieża and Łódź (which literally means boat)

@@ukrecruiter8040 ​ that’s something that always puzzled me. The fact that you might be in a border town and if you go for a walk you may end up in the neighboring country and you might not understand a single word of what they’re saying to you has always been mind blowing to me😅. Though if the languages of both countries are somewhat similar, you are able to understand certain things. For example, in my home region of Galicia (northwestern Spain) we have a native tongue that hails from the medieval version of Portuguese, so we are mostly able to communicate without issues with them (unlike many other Spaniards). Considering our languages are so similar, it’s easy to make out what they are talking to you about

@@alexotero7105 Border towns like that usually have some sort of intermixing of cultures and people speak both languages sometimes because they would have grown up with both. Just signs and stuff that has to be in the countries language would be a bit jarring

@@legend7951 well, seems logical enough to me😀

MaskedMenace830 pensioners?

pension. Translate it. Are you from China?

PaulPot10 nah I mean none of them are they do this well did it for a job so they’re not pensioners as much as being old

Sealio Bounce They still do it on the Grand Tour.

He is like 60 lmao not a pensioner

Well, it’s logical to assume that the Polish would be nicer to them in that infraction considering they narrowly escaped the furious wrath of the Germans😂. But, yeah, it’s kinda funny

It's time to end

Back to the studio

@@SuperGamewarrior101 It's back to the graveyard :D

“Well, don’t gloat!”

MrLeYans i read something like that a while ago.

Lennart It is.

Lennart well .. thats why who ever runs out of it gets shot ;)

abu3aranki Touché :D

Stryke people like us are rare to find these days LOL

+Daniel Tangianau Well I would :)

cool

cool

Thx

+Daniel Tangianau b.. but many of us north eastern germans love poland ;_;

Actually they have a warehouse full of Jeremies, Richards, James and Morse code machines (Stig).

Clones, as Many as in Star Wars

well we do know they can just get another jeremy from clarkson island

Clarkson Island, where they only sell hammer and theres no speed limit even in towns...

I would move there!! MORE POWER!!!!

No parking

@@eruc4828 it says you cant stop either

***** Drive faster(on same gear) use more fuel than slower. (Basiclly,to win this kind of race.You need to find the best balance between speed and fuel economy.drive too fast,you won't have enough fuel to make the finish line,too slow,made the line with enough fuel but run out the timer.And JC+RH had found that right balance to make it,yet not for JM) Also,it's partly set up-ed,so don't be too serious/

Well arguably black plastic is often just a dark translucent purple so when the light goes through it appears orange from the dame principle

+Aristotelis Mitsiou (tkk7406) Yes, I feel bad I've missed it. :(

TheMasquerade6 Oh well, never mind.

Poland is rightful German clay

It wasn't, isn't and won't ever be.

well i have survived death every day sofar, else i would be dead

Yep.Now it’s been sanitised by the BBC, gone out with the digs at countries or car makers, loaded with extra cast to try and fill void, with soulless presenters with zero chemistry between them and who people hated/hate ie Chris Evans, Paddy Mcguiness, one of who literally tried to be Clarkson because he had nothing to offer and the other cast members wanted gone too.It’s now all about cars and celebrity drivers instead of anything else, and so it’s gone from something for everyone to enjoy to solely if you really like and know about cars.

+Stryke why would you call a liquid gas

wuugie You're right, but people often use "gas" as a short form of "gasoline".

+Stryke its here Germany not murica

Wolter Nijmeijer and "gas" and "fluid" actually have nothing to do with the material, but with its physical state.

+Stryke yes, I know about phisics. but gas and gasoline ar not the same

They actually cutted this video together without keeping the chronological order of the clips. I live here and watching this was quite weird, but funny.

@@moritzwei8812 same as me for when they went to Australia, as they jumped backwards and foelrwards down the highway so many times its not even funny😂

@@moritzwei8812 I've watched a few TG and Grand Tour clips where you can clearly see major discrepancies with visible wristwatches. It jumps around in a way that doesn't make sense, the only way around that would be to ensure timepieces are obscured or removed. But you can't just tell James May to take his watch off.

@@mxbx307 They do sometimes blur out the wristwatches and clocks on dashboards - e.g. in the race against sunrise in a Jaguar in series 16.

... streight across the Sudetes, narrow mountain roads with lot of turns - and suddenly, its not 80 but 40 km as car drives, with much highier fuel consumption

Yeah and Poland definitely wasn't /s

Blitzkrieg!

@@mancubwwa Or it was just a reference to the joke clarkson made about making a car that's quintessentially German, in like the 2nd or 3rd series "A satnav that only goes to Poland".

I have 12 km to Czech and 60 60 to Zgorzelec

*NYO NYO NYO*

someguy1728 x

Still, could be worse. He could be dead.

Anyway, have you heard about the new Renault Megane?

sonyviva308 nah I kinda... THE DACIA HAS LAUNCHED IN BRITIAN

i'm living here too

Also the gas is not very cheap :D

Didn't you see? The trucks were overtaking him!

And he was behind camera car(s), which were Land Rover Ranger Rovers!

Andrei Vlad yeah, but you gotta be real close to the truck, i tried it a few times... had to be about 1 meter or less away from the truck for it to pull my car.

I usually keep between me and the truck a distance of 1 and a half - 2 medium sized cars. And the fuel consumption is 3 l /100 km. lol. It sucks i have to go 90 km/h on the highway tho, If I cruise at 130 km/h the fuel consumption is double

You should know that they cut away hours and hours of video material. They use what they think is best. And yes, sometimes they seem to have driven back and forth several times, but only locals notice these things.

Mike Dragon No, mike he’s not. He’s just been shot by the bbc and I don’t think you can survive being shot in the Head.

@@matthiasw8777 Oh

Thank you so much

thank you

omg thanks

EnforcerX71 I think they’ll do more stuff like the Botswana trip this season

St. Devil and somehow he's still alive. #sarcasm

St. Devil lol

It is gunshot animations, it is sound casted from another and glued in to the video.

Like the movie lassie

yes he did........ANYWAY...

Or spenny

I had a stroke reading this

At least you didnt end like Prussia did

New TopGear is really bad, I loved the old TopGear.

I support you

Because Ze Germanz were lying even back then. Their fuel economy figures are totally made up. IRL they're double.

Technically this is mid top gear as there was an older one before it lol

I watched the Chris Evans "new" Top Gear and watched literally just one episode of Matt Le Blanc. Chris Evans felt like a series of pilot episodes and was merely okay, but not great. Matt Le Blanc onwards was just garbage. The BBC made a big mistake trying to basically repeat the whole show but with new people. That doesn't work. What they should have done is tried to reformat it yet again.

it is an old car so it probably lost a bit of efficiency. also having non-factory tires will change the fuel economy as well as tire pressure.

+battletoads22 old car, being too cocky and going too fast

No he did not run out of fuel. His electronics died ;)

***** That makes more sense. But at least then, he can't be fined or imprisoned in Deutschland.

+battletoads22 It got cocky and careless.

But on the German Autobahn you have to be at least 60 km/h fast

@@cady7944 55 mph is just over 88 km/h, so you can just drive 55 mph on the Autobahn.

@@PGraveDigger1 no u cant lol

The 55mph recommendation is "the most *efficient speed* you can travel in a car in terms of achieving the best fuel economy" (varies depending on the vehicle). The *optimum speed regarding fuel efficiency* is usually "between 35 mph (56 km/h) and 50 mph (80 km/h)". Internal combustion engine is at its peak efficiency @ max torque rpm.

@@evolad2463 if the minimum speed is 60kph why cant you drive 88kph?

yup, it's completely forbidden to stop at the side of the autobahn unless your car has broken down or if you're involved in an accident. The german government says it's impossible to run out of fuel because there is a petrol station every 35 miles.

but as you can see, you can get away with it if you have the money..... it is realy stupid to try such a thing on the autobahn.... traffic jam or crash could have happened caused by that. there are many reason why it is forbidden in germany! it is also forbidden to went below 60 km/h (37mph) without reason on the autobahn. and if you cant get faster then 60 km/h your not allowed to drive on the autobahn.

this rule also apply to my lil country.

dimos k Definitely yes (Im german) Edit: Maurits and Andreas are absolutely right...

yep its treu...thats why i carry a one gallon reserve flask on my bike...cool looking small 2.8 gallon tank on that chopper,but absolut rubish for doing long runs on the autobahn ...wich gave brought me two tickets for ending on the sholder whitout fuell in the past

+Chameleon yeah, just don't forget to blink your left-right signal lights to the slower truck you just cover in

+Chameleon Slipstream, that's the ticket.

+galihxtreme you mean "hazard light" ...

Davin Eka Putra No. Hazard = Left + Right in one time. Left-Right = Left signal first then right signal or the other way around. Jadi di Eropa sini ada tata krama di jalan highway, kalo kita ngasih jalan buat truk trailer, nanti supir truk itu ngasih sein kiri 1 detik lalu ganti sein kanan 1 detik, tandanya terima kasih. Begitu juga kalo mobil kita dikasih ruang sama truk trailer, kita harus ngasi sein begitu. Tapi kalo kamu praktekkan di Alas Roban sekarang ya percuma, Gajah Oling dkk ga bakal mudheng. 2002 dulu pas nyetir Surabaya-Jakarta udah ta' coba ngga ada yang paham. Paling banter ya kode klakson. Coba buka2 bukunya IMI, mungkin ada tata krama kode sein/klakson disitu.

galihxtreme tau aja saya orang Indo. Ya kalo disini dicoba juga percuma, tapi kalo di jepang pake hazard terima kasihnya. Jadi ya saya pikit left right signal light itu maksudnya hazard . ok deh bos, salam dari bumi arema .

Yeah, but. I mean, did you have to shoot James? Seems a bit harsh if you ask me...

+Marcello Penk-Masucci It was not us. It was the BBC who shot him :P .

+max mustermann the BBC shot top gear itself now and have put up a shitty presenter line up.
