Old Top Gear - October 1999 

And about thermal imaging (on your HUD). I want. I need.

I'm in Kate Humbles' hedge, and I'm loving it - Clarkson 🤣

Now now boys, we have moved on nowadays..

i love the saying 'off your face'

Completely agree. And also when motoring programmes where actually about the cars and not about the presenters. Now TV motoring programmes both on TV and on various RU-vid channels are more focused on the likes of Clarkson, Hammond, May and that Wheeler Dealers really tall grey fuzzy haired Edd China where it's just the usual 2002 Top Gear era style of childish babble and talking about why Edd China decided to leave or why Clarkson made some stupid remark and became controversial and all the irrelevant rubbish. These motoring presenters are idolised for some strange reason. Why are people so obsessed with Jeremy Clarkson, James May, Richard Hammond and Edd China for?. Noone was bothered about Quentin Willson, Tony Mason, Steve Berry, William Woollard or Chris Goffey where they?.

@@Embracing01 Because people like entertainment more than information.

​@@farishanafiah8461 especially these days. But hey, there's still Fifth Gear...

When Top Gear was a better version of Fifth Gear but still only had a fraction of the audience of the CHM format show.

you mean when top gear was boring and unoriginal?

Even worse that’s not an M3 Coupé. It’s an M Coupé. Some call it Z3 M Coupé

I wonder how does Fifth Gear compare to 90's Top Gear, especially with Clarkson gone.

Bollocks. Find a 200 pound TVR Chimaera

Z3M ? I’ll take two !!

Obviously.

Not all of them.

Most aren’t.

Frrrrrrrrr 😂😂😂😂😂

So is the girl at 0:04

2 years on and still bollocks

@@tylert6573 Someone hasn't heard of Tesla...

I find Clarsekson and Captain Slow frightfully annoying, Kate and Quentin were perfect.

he said dodgy fit on doors

Because it involves a lot of computing power and it will increase the price.

@@farishanafiah8461 a 2023 $50 phone is more powerful than the most powerful computer in 1999 so doubt

Eeeww!

it wasn't even called the Z3M then, it was just the "M coupe"

Think that was fifth gear..

@@71MWhite Hi! Nice to see a 2 year old comment being replied to. It was Top Gear. I think it was one of the first ever episodes in the first series. Not 5th gear lol 😂

@@oxygengraphafonadelaverberator Never knew Edd China was in a Top Gear episode. I've never understood why people are so obsessed with him and other motoring "icons" like James May, Clarkson and Mike Brewer for. There's a video that has 11m views about China leaving Wheeler Dealers. What's the deal with that dude I don't get it. They have become idolised.

Christian Buczko I doubt if CIA is ever interested with that particular McLaren.

Yeah hackers cracked Jeep, and could control throttle brake and everything else electrical using the infotainment system

On the mclaren you had to plug the modem in before you could connect

JDMxlove same! :)

me 10, miss those days ;(

Better Off Alone by Alice Deejay :)

theo sinc no one called it a Z3m back then

1. They are expensive for a small cheap car 2. People like parking sensors more because in the UK people look at their mirrors more (and thats safer) and parking sensors tell you exactly how far you are away from hitting something. 3. In a car where they are no infotainment screen they cannot put in a reversing camera.

Aidan Sheehan jr That’s fair. The Hyundai I hired didn’t even have parking sensors but then again it was an inexpensive, small car as you alluded to. It wasn’t bare bones, mind you, with otherwise typical Hyundai ‘luxuries’ like cruise control, air con and power windows all around. I think cameras are better than sensors and allow you to see what is behind the vehicle (children playing, for example) but of course you shouldn’t rely on that alone, as I am sure many people do.

BloomingOnion You can see a child playing in your rear view mirrors. People don’t like Toyotas that constantly beep and have no front or rear parking sensors and just a camera. So other company’s will keep a reversing camera and front and rear parking sensors.

Aidan Sheehan jr Every year, dozens of children in the US die because they are reversed over. In many cases, a camera showing directly behind the vehicle (especially in a SUV or hatchback) is ideal but I suppose beeping sensors help too. My car has both - blind spot and rear motion detection beeping as well as a camera. Now that I have them, I would always want both on any new car.

And still going on at Amazon Prime.

Blokes is a polite name for them.

Obviously these are 20 years older

@@forza223bowe5 It shows how far technology has advanced since the turn of the century.

Gentleman Gamer Please tell me what a 2020 car differ from 2000 Mondeo, Passat, Opel, or an E-Class MB that have the same price tag can actually have any beneficial tec apart from having a huge screen with Apple Car Play and a rubbish looking cheaply made interior, many recalls, weak transmissions with the life-span of a fly and microscopic twin-turbo charged coffee machines.

@@unicorntomboy9736 Yeah technology advanced lots and MPG's seemingly got worse because how much all that extra stuff weighs

The Puma and the Z3 Coupe is for teens? I highly doubt it.

All those were affordable decent cars that were cheap to maintain and insure. Perfect for youngsters back then. I had a few of them myself.

Wtf are you thinking. All those first choice cars were great. Thankfully people weren't Jdm whoars back in the day.
