Crossing the Channel in Car Boats - Top Gear - BBC 

Well, if the captain is British too, he (or she) ought to take it reasonably in stride.

Nice Pfp bro

in the distance you hear an “open fire!”

The real question who would have the right of way

@@nickg90125 Cheeks pfp bro

well he is British 😄

That was a "gentlemen's" version of answer, to Richard's "that wasn't my fault".

How can they drink tea without a cup?

This line cracks me up haha

Lmao

That cannot be any more British, floating in the English channel having a cup of tea awaiting rescue

We literally got China addicted to opium, destroyed their Navy, burned down the Emperors palace and took possession of several ports, including Hong Kong, just so we could obtain more tea from them. Britains addicted to tea is no joke.

I love the part where Aldo rain got you out of Nazi prison

@@AbbaZabbaOlyFrn got stuck in the channel on a self-built houseboat? Just have a cup of tea and wait for it to all blow over

Well he's an doctor of engineering so yeah 🤷‍♂️

@@marnixkamminga8083 lol no he's not

@@jebediahkrimsoncraftleding3012 they gave him an honorable doctorate. That's why he always says he's a doctor of engineering twice

i litelary saw this comment just when they said that

😂🤣😂🤣😂

Sounds like something an American would actually believe, after all they believe shooting at a hurricane would stop it...

@@speedometer111 ??

@@speedometer111 what?

It's at the Beaulieu Motor Museum in the World of Top Gear display.

@Just another Person No, it is true. I have seen it. It's there along with Jeremy's Nissan and James' Triumph yacht.

@@scsutton1 do they have the indestructible toyota truck there?

@@ghillepig2 Yes, they do. It's in a display just before you go into the main exhibition hall.

@@scsutton1 travel location added

That's the only thing it needed, and in sure he would've added one had he thought of it

That’s such a jezza thing to do tho honestly

They even added Jeremy’s Quadski as well.

"Japanese craftsmanship with a bit of british engineering and a touch of american ingenuity."

That’s because rockstar games is Scottish and a fan of him

Well, either that's not something you see everyday or what the hell have I been smoking

And then they see the Top Gear trio at the car and understand that they should really watch the next episode.

I don't know why but I laughed my guts out seeing this comment😂

Simgenx lol

A bad reason to quit drinking rum. Drink more rum!

Haha. i laugh at that too

+Ahmad Sholahudin Al hasany was literally looking for this in the comment

Gold Star you tried.

Oof

8:04 when my parents find out and I have to lock myself in the toilet.

3:25 - 3:35 The group of students who didn't study for the final when the teacher hands out a cumulative test.

This didn’t age well for A-level students

I misread the Hell out of that and thought "When my parents find out I've managed to lock myself in the toilet".

Agreed.

TheMADGUY50 you know I get depressed every now and then and honestly watching top gear helps. Thanks guys!!!!

Agreed best show ever

600th like

I agree. Even Clarkson in spite of his past mistake of punching a producer.

Same mate

Kieran White it gets me too

@LG Work *mum

@Aaron Cubitt gunpowder was created by the Chinese, and the folk on the correct side of the pond love it

I've been looking for these comments

three British men come out: we did it!

It's a Nissan so it's Japanese.

That car is a DD sherman without guns and tracks xD

Brritish carr frrom the ocean? I don't carre!

Underrated

That's great

@BABY LETZY Haha, yep.

that's more like *bbc fucked up big time* everytime I watch these challenges

Big fax

SAME LOOOO;. I come back every few months..its like watching it for the first time

I'm watching today in 2022!

It’s called a BOOM for a reason

So long as it isn’t one of the Great Lakes, those can be as rough if not rougher than the sea at times.

@@cryamistellimek9184 perhaps it would be better suited for a canal

@@F4nta5y I mean Richard does live in Birmingham

the prototype struggled with a reservoir.

@@cryamistellimek9184 true I went on my local watertaxi to go to the Navypier the waves were rough when we got even close

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me. They didn't have any sort of trademark or copyright on the design so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

lol same

yeah thats what gta does, they have done that with other cars also, personally i think its kinda cool

flying DeLorean too

@Asian face yeah if you see it in game its really obvious

quickest summary of a movie ever

So it would seem...

@@aheccinlemon6879 Aye Commodore.

So does he plan it all out, or make it up as he goes along?

@@TheGary108 yes

Indeed mate

If only it weren't so wet

Kleavers iii

Kleavers doom fang pauldrons

Kleavers what car do you have Hammond

if one was to really carry that out till the end it would be nearly perfect, closed roof, all the advantages of a boat, including a place for the girls (:))

TrashureSeeker only problem , not enough power

I knew it would fail moment i saw it lol

Tex I absolutely love Volkswagens and whenever there’s a Volkswagen on a episode I always cheer for it

I do

5 months later...

Same!

absofuckinglutly

I think I’ve watched all of them Help

May boat didnt sink, it just doesnt came forward xD

@@lennartmoritz942 It did sink once but they got it back up :D

I Love your music

If we think back to the original challange, Hammond sank first, down at the head(bow), similar to the titanic style Then Clarkson capsized, like the Britannic, and may, the only one that didn't go under, the Olympic

@@MechaFen You're absolutely right. Wow, great imagery.

You're in the cold sea, carrying a warm drink. If you think the idea of warming yourself up is an oddly British thing to do then your country must be cold.

RhysdoubleU Warm drinks cool you down over time though, your body recognises it's too hot and cools you down by sweating.

Pro Era you sweat more because you're hot

That's us Brits for you

well why not.. you got nothing to lose

Now I wanted to see that part... and no idea why they didn't show it in this video, because here they have: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YVjo6YOT3Zg.html

I doubt there's a market for them.

nobody wants to go to france, apart from to prove a point

Buy the Hovervan!

Theres a perfectly good tunnel to get your car to France!

***** there's also a perfectly good channel.

Brilliant 😂😂

It sounds like the same sound effect 3 times..

Pineli wow, thanks captain obvious, I knew that before I posted this comment...

@@NoahMPM Kek.

careful, he's a hero

_Through_A_Blurry_Lens_ i read it exactly at the same moment i heard it😂🤗

Hes not wrong tho👀

I mean, that was pretty much the gist of it

I want to watch this episode in full again.

Same man

I was shaking my head in despair, because they could have vastly improved on the designs and prevented some flaws with only a minimal bit of brainpower. - Clarkson: HYDROFOILS to stabilize the thing which would allow him to actually use more of his massive power. - May: two side-mounted "keels" instead of cutting open the car for a center mounted one. - Hammond: bilge-pump and some outriggers to stabilize the vertical design. It took me milliseconds to figure those out, but they were rubbish on purpose.

@@Muck006 You take life too seriously

They lost a lot of the production talent that made the show what it was when they left the BBC. I also think the relationship between the three became a little strained after the whole debacle. I think May and Hammond were mad that Jeremy got the show canned with his behaviour and it took a while to repair the relationships, I know May kept saying he wanted to stop doing TGT after each series but I guess the Amazon money was too much to turn down.

I really like the grand tour. Skip the star in a car and that crap and just show me the boys

Well..... 50/50 it was the wrong town....

Car guys might know a lot... but most of us don't know about azimuths

Spoliers 👁👄👁

Is anyone gonna tell this man the Channel Tunnel is a railway tunnel? Or doesn't even start at Dover?

@@caboose.20 Step 1: Drive to Dover. Step 2: Drive to Folkestone. Step 3: Drive onto train. Step 4: Wait. Step 5: Arrive in France. Instructions followed to the letter. I don't remember saying anything about the Tunnel not being a railway tunnel, or about it being in Dover.

@@adammullarkey4996 no but you had implied it.

@@caboose.20 I don't see how. I made no comment either way, so, the implication is that I meant whichever I believed to be the correct case (which was that the Tunnel is a railway tunnel from Folkestone, not a road tunnel from Dover). Why are you taking this so seriously, anyway? My original comment was just meant to be a bit of light-hearted pedanticism, not a serious suggestion that they actually should have used the Tunnel or a ferry.

@@adammullarkey4996 It would spoil the fun and isn't the point. The whole point was getting an amphibious car across the channel, duh

Poor coffee

dion woollaston you've clearly never been to spain

MrStig691 what does that have to do with the fact that they live in Spain. Can't emigrate when you're over 65? 😂

Spain mate

@@Hjvinke no you can if your over 65 your going some where to die not to live

It's called Australia.

Blackbeard doesn't hold a candle to them

That's a Nissan

Jeremy's jeep is a Nissan Pathfinder

+S.M Taha if you look at the doors and the hood, you'll see they say nissan

+pokemaster123ism Ye and you can also tell by what it looks like he's probably saying it cause he watched the first vid and now he thinks tho is the same keep

But it's a Nissan!

Jay Swarrow you good?

The fact that even Jeremy said "Mine won't do that" just shows how scary it is. Not many things can kill Jeremy's notorious confidence like that.

Well they did recover the vehicle and now it's on display at the top gear museum

Devin du Plessis it just occured to me, that clarkson called himself a tit

Daniel Irvine actually, I believe he called himself Macbeth

too full o’th milk of human kindness he is

It’s gone off, it stinks

Rohin Nair I meant second time crossing the channel, with more time and a bigger budget to work on their individual projects.

Vladpryde i think they should invest in making the hovervan be able to cross the channel can you imagine the size of the engines they would need, and the fuel tank lol

epicfail86 I'd imagine a 2 gallon fuel tank wouldn't suffice

blackm4niac They wouldn't make it past the harbor LOL BUT if they used diesel and fed it into a generator, they could save a lot of fuel

No more top gear

@@Carbon_Volture Tchaikovsky - March of the Toy Soldiers

@@Carbon_Volture No worries mate

Mate have you commented on every Top Gear video on RU-vid ha ha I swear If see you comment on them Agent Washinton

god dammit Washington your everywhere

Poo poo!

+Agent Washington would have worked if he knew how to actually sail...I could prob have had that thing in perfect trim depending on if it has hiking straps though since no keel.

Paul Rude as a 400 sailor that is a sad sight to see that spinny pole getting bartered on that wall

Fail and repeat until you success, that's the old school engineering way.

He hits the BOOM, lubber.

Yeah when It was a show with 3 mates mucking around as appose to an overly organised tv programme with Chris Evans trying to be Jeremy Clarkson

It's in the verbal part, like his famous "Helleu".

Hammond's got dizzying and more anxiety 🤣

“And there was much rejoicing”

Good one!

yup

I don't know for sure but the record might've changed also the grand tour already got a UK record involving amphibious cars
