We went vehicle shopping with Ex-Stig! After realising that Ex-Stig Ben Collins needed some serious upgrades to his farm machinery, Mike Fernie decided to take the him to Witham Specialist Vehicles, a site that once hosted Clarkson, Hammond and May when purchasing demolition vehicles on Top Gear.

Am I the only one that really happy that Ben is back in the public space? Like... When he left top gear you knew a piece of the OG was gone. Now having him on drive tribe, hammon and his daughter, May with some randomness, it's nice to see Mike and the crew keeping the spirit of "top gear" (Hammond, Clarkson and may personality and energy) alive. The new top gear never captured the energy as well as drive tribe is doing

I'm really happy this channel exists. Top Gear and soon Grand Tour may be over, but I hope they keep doing occasional appearances on this channel for years to come. And Ben is always a joy to watch. One thing I remember really well from Top Gear is all the guests always saying how nice the Stig was.

@robertf456 2 месяца назад

I think he was always jealous of not having the fame. I don’t really care for him.

@MarsLonsen 2 месяца назад

ben has this sort of military vibe to him and then I found this: "After Ben graduated in Law from Exeter University he served four years in the military with his exceptional driving ability being utilised as a Special Forces driving instructor. After leaving the army he used his ability behind the wheel to pursue a career as a racing car driver."

Yea, nothing like having another man sit open legged behind you on a machine that sends vibration through the seat. Mike will be sitting on the storage rack.

@Yvolve 2 месяца назад

The best choice by far is Ben's Kubota on fresh tires and a trailer behind it. It was literally designed for this job. It is more practical than the quad, is less dangerous, can haul more and has a roof, in the UK. The Pinzgauer is awesome but hideously expensive to own I reckon, as it is mostly single model parts produced in relatively low volume. Yes, it is army surplus but that doesn't mean it is cheap.

@jamesward6460 2 месяца назад

Pinz's are mostly ok...they are very thirsty but, at least our one, has a VW van engine and zf gearbox that appeared in other vehicles. Its the running gear which is the mega proprietary stuff...

@Yvolve 2 месяца назад

@@jamesward6460 Mostly ok when they work. When they don't, you have to re-mortgage your house. From factory, they come with a Steyr designed inline-4 or a diesel inline-5 or 6. It has a manual 5 speed and later an automatic 4-speed. Not sure what other vehicles they were used in. Running gear is what breaks when you go off-roading, engines mostly overheat, the clutch might go if it is a manual. I'd love to own one, I think they're great but it is not fit for an orchard.

@themightyculsh 2 месяца назад

Had to drive a Pinz from Blackpool to Paderborn and back, by the end fluid was piddling out the steering column and my gearbox broke on the M61. They are fun to drive, but maintenance is horrible.

@Hostilenemy 2 месяца назад

Positive camber on some of those vehicles are by design. As you load up the vehicle with whatever it is you're carrying, it will push down on the axles and essentially get rid of the camber.

Also helps on very uneven ground to give the higher wheel more contact surface.

The most practical would be the UTV. The Pinzgauer is fun until you have to get it fixed, then just empty your bank account. Really what he needs is a 4wd Kei Truck from Japan. Many of them are actually 5 speed with a pin holding you out of 4th and 5th gear so they can scoot pretty good. Cheap to maintain and will last forever and will have wipers and a heater that works.

@theackshow5048 2 месяца назад

I used to own an older 1973 710M in the US. It had an air-cooled straight 6. It was a BEAST when offroading. Unfortunately, it was also a pain to keep running despite it's simple modular drivetrain construction - especially if someone (like the previous owner) ran it in 4-wheel drive mode on dry pavement. It was not as bad as a Mark 1 or Mark 2 Alvis Stalwart, but things started to break down fast when abused.

The Alvis CVR(T)s are the best. My dad worked on them at development and manufacture (at Alvis). They would go well over 50mph (possibly at 70mph on rubber tracks on sealed roads?). Early versions had Jaguar petrol engines. Not for claustrophobes though.

The front wheels points inwards because the truck doesn't have all the heavy kit mounted that would otherwise weigh the springs down. Also why did they mount a microphone inside the engine bay on the last vehicle? Were they afraid it wouldn't be loud enough?

The fast attack vehicle you looked at the sand rail thing not sure about the UK but the Americans used the Chenowth and i have a kit car version of of one in my garage owned it for over 20 years now VW powered Chenowth went out of business along time ago my one looks like the ones you see in 3 kings movie hasnt got the the third seat or gun turret but as far as i know basically the same thing! Has only been out the garage a handful of times was imported around 1991 and i reckon built in America and used as found a few American coins down under the seats! Kingfisher officially imported it into the uk and it was used for the safari off road series until someone rolled it and claimed on the insurance thats how i got it!
