@raychii.. But then there's the Charge of the Light Brigade and setting up shop in Zulu territory and the way they kept coming at New Orleans was crazy and their complete abhorrence to nazi aircraft overhead. They can be feisty. PS Is Elton John really gay? I Still can't believe that and it's been 46 years.
They pulled the diesel engines out of the Maid of the Mist and now all electric. Ford GT made in Markham Ontario. Should have visited it's birth place.
Producer: "Do you want to run?: James: "No!" Producer: "What if we pay you a lot more?" James: "Depends on the amount" Aaaaand we see him running now...
I mean, they definitely got paid more the longer the show went on. But Mr. May said and I quote "I actually really want the car to win and for Jeremy to lose." I think his want for Jeremy to lose outweighed his dignity 🤣🤣
As a handicapped person, I always manage to skip the queues at the airports. That includes my travel companions. Which means, May should have taken full advantage of Hamster's situation.
If I was on a deserted Island, and I only had one choice of entertainment, These blokes show would be my choice.... Thank you for many years of SUPER entertainment...
As a disabled person i truely find it inspirational that Jeremy Clarkson is allowed to, and actually can, drive a car. And it was pretty cool seein Hammond in a chair
It would have been brilliant if Hammond had got up of the wheel chair and started walking over to Jeremy Charkson without the walking sticks at the end and tell James May that he could walk the whole time lol
you are always allowed to sit there. Until someone from the "priority category" such as pregnant or disabled people comes and asks for the seat. FFS its not rocket science.
To be completely honest, I'm not even that much of a car person, (Gas goes there, oil goes there) but it's their personalities that always made me love Top Gear/TGT. All Hail, Captain Slow.
"you're not Disabled, you've had a playground injury as a result of your own half wittedness. Thats not Disabled." Literally the funniest Thing i have seen in ages. 😂😂
Those aluminum crutches like he was using are quite annoying since they click every time you make a step... The wooden ones are a lot more solid and I prefer them... I spent a couple of years on them after a motorcycle accident many years ago... Eventually, I got to the point where I could easily travel faster that someone doing a very fast walk on flat pavement, but stairs REALLY SUCKED (especially going up them)... Narrow hallways would slow me down because it's easy to catch the crutches on something and then you just fall like a tree forward...
@@Veyron722skyhook -- The wooden type were also height adjustable... They were just not as *quickly* adjustable... Instead of just pushing a button and allowing them to slide to the new height, you had to unscrew the wingnuts, remove the bolts that went through the holes, move the pieces to the new positions, and then reinstall the bolts... You typically only did this when you needed to fit them to a new person, but it did take a bit more time than the aluminum ones...
Ditto, but my nemesis was going down flights of stairs, bloody terrifying. For anyone that cares, wooden crutches are height adjustable too, via two wing nuts, two bolts and a number of holes.
I was on crutches for about 6 months and only one of my crutches clicked, that was even worse! Stairs were horrible but my worst nightmare was escalators!
He did actually run on a few Top Gear challenges. The footrace at the end of the Nile special, in the race against the SLR and the race against the Veyron. I suspect were more. He broke his own rule quite often.
0:41 James: "But where, between there & there, are you gonna do 216mph?" Jeremy: *"You gotta spend 2 hours at JFK being touched inappropriately & giving them your toothpaste,* and anyway, you've got a handicap!" 😂
Jeremy made it to the falls directly by road, Richard and Hammond had no straight way to reach the finish line by air, hence they got delayed but if they took a straight flight to Niagara falls by a really fast parachuting plane and did a parachute jump near the shores of the falls, they would have probably beaten Jeremy's supercar.
Hate to get all serious n stuff but they should have done this in the UK, as a wheelchair user I can tell you it's not half as easy to get around as this seemed to be
(apologies for my serious reply) Agree with you that USA is better set up for disabled people. Our 'dropped kerbs' aren't always dropped far enough - ever been launched forwards/out of your chair (depending on whether you use a belt) when the wheels hit the kerb, rather than roll up them? I have - too many times to count. Or gone up a dropped kerb to find that there isn't one at the other end? Pavement surfaces can be poor in the UK and I've shed tyres through uneven pavements. In the USA, if you use a handicapped parking space without a permit, you can have your car towed. Whereas over here, a lot of people think that disabled people don't need the wheelchair spaces outside fast food restaurants or supermarkets, especially later on in the day (we aren't all 80+yo and go home early). I can't get out of my car if it's not in a wide bay. There's more assistance over in the USA and access through shops is easier. Unfortunately, thanks to lots of our UK buildings being very old, it isn't easy to fit ramps and lifts. In the UK there are people who are really helpful and accommodating (and I thank all of them), but there's still places where you're viewed as a nuisance. Luckily, Richard's mobility issues were temporary. He's been very lucky to have avoided permanent mobility problems. Though I suspect that he does have more than his fair share of aching joints, especially when he gets up. Plus his old head injury may still be giving him headaches and memory issues for all we know. Stay safe and well everyone - no Covid, no accidents, no diseases.
@@jakeblanton6853 to be fair in the 46 years ive been around there have been some improvements here but its nowhere near enough yet. also, whilst typing this i just mis-typed the word its as tits, good thing i spotted that....
Yeah, he ended up getting rid of it because electrical problems kept looking the motor via the anti theft starter defeat. Ford trade him for a different one and he had done other problems that made him get rid of that too. He ended up getting a c63 amg black. But I guess he didn't keep that very long either lol
