I used to look at Top Gear as the ultimate car guy show. These 3 blokes as you English would call them, made loving cars seem normal and natural. Made you feel less alone in the community. Now I look back on these 3 blokes from England and just find pure comfort from them. I'm having a hard time mentally, and this is one of the few shows that just helps bring me back to stability. Its a nice little dose of medication. James, Richard, and Jeremy will forever live in our hearts as maybe the worlds best trio. It sucks to see the band finally breaking up, but we owe them so much for the joy and comfort they brought us. Thank you gentleman - you've more than earned your retirement from the car world.
"YEEEEEEHAAWWW, lets skin a possum, throw it on the fire! Get Willber, and Mertle over, they look can at the V8 in ma pick-up truck and ma Steve Mcqueen jacket"
The lady extolling Shackleton's High Seat Chairs at 18:27 didn't let fame go to her head. She still bought her tripe from Mitchell's Tripe Shop ("Established over a Century") in Bradford's Rawson Market (though, to be fair, Mitchell's was the poshest tripe shop we had).
THATS IT !!!!! I’m having a custom made t shirt with the words GOOD NEWS , ITS A DACEA SANDERO printed on it I can never get enough of James May ……. (In British slang) I just adore this man ….. and his OCD mannerisms
I don't often agree with JC, but I totally got what he said about "simply liking" a car. Plus he's right about this particular car - I've had an up! as a holiday rental car and while it was a little underpowered (probably the 60 hp version?) it was utterly likeable. Plus it was quite versatile and usable for a car of its size. We managed to fit three grown men into the car comfortably with enough boot-space to spare for one of the guys' whole luggage. When I went to the same place the following year, they didn't rent up!s any longer so we got a Polo instead. And while that was the much more grown-up and roomy car of the two, it felt like just "a car". Even in its very basic version, the up! felt kinda special for some reason.
4:05 Either this whole thing with another one of Clarkson's "genius" ideas ending up smashing his rear window was entirely faked, which would be an absolutely brilliant piece of television, or it was all genuine, which also is absolutely brilliant television. Either way, Top Gear is just so incredibly good.
@@Fizzure3000 I mean that maybe they knew exactly what was gonna happen when you drive around towing a log on dirt roads with a sufficiently short rope. Maybe they purposefully shortened the rope to make sure it would smash the rear window.
Whenever Brits say "Beta", I hear beater, and when I see that Lancia, it's a fucking beater. I'm surprised any of the cars made it.. I do Like that Hammond was able to bring Oliver home to England.
