Part 4 of Some of the unseen outtakes and behind the scene clips from various Top Gear episodes. Like this video if you enjoyed this #TopGearOuttakes. #TopGear #BehindTheScene Subscribe for more.
The exchange between Jeremy and James about the GTR is why I loved the show so much: I knew that the animus was scripted, but this shows that they genuinely get on.
I mean they worked together for decades, I doubt they would have if they actually disliked each other. The other two left top Gear with Clarkson. The hate is just part of the act, if I thought they were actually sincere about it I would not enjoy watching it. I take is as buddies who like to banter with each other and give each other crap all the time, but actually do it as a sign of affection, not hatred.
That's almost exactly what I wanted to say. This video is 4 years old, and that piece of Ken's driving with that music would have been just a pretty video of a superb driver in action just 4 weeks ago. And now its like we are watching a video in the memory of Ken Block. Shall the man rest in peace.
I feel like Top Gear would have been just as good if it was just Jeremy and James. Hammond feels like an awkward third wheel more often than not. He's only ten years younger than them, but acts young enough to be their son.
Clarkson WANTED May on Top Gear when the show first returned in 2002, he knew from May's previous work just how good he would be as a presenter and entertainer. May initially turned down the offer because he didn't think the show would succeed initially (and had already been burnt out from presenting three other car shows, including a brief run in 1999 on the original Top Gear), but after Jason Dawe was let go by the BBC producers, Clarkson tried again (for Series 2) as he really wanted to make sure it WOULD succeed with May presentt, and the rest from there is history. The three just all had that chemistry when together, something that's very rare in a trio act, and something that the current Top Gear presenters (with all due respect) can't repeat.
These between-shots moments are really my absolute favorite. No music, no cuts, no scripting, just watching some of my favorite people exist in their world that I will never be a part of. I could watch behind the scenes clips like this all day.
The sad part is he was doing something reckless on vacation with his family. It could have been completely avoided. He chose to be irresponsible and it has destroyed his family and saddened millions. A true shame.
@@corbinselanne7990only one who could carry the name is his daughter, she’s wicked behind the wheel for her age it’s crazy. It just sucks he’s not here to help her surpass him :(
Really enjoyed watching May playing with the launch control on the GT-R like a kid on Christmas morning, and the Ken Block slow motion film with that music is especially more poignant. Great stuff.
I had one back in 2012/2013. Had it built with a custom colored frame. Blu Cepheus, to match the gallardo I had at the time. It also had the full carbon big front and rear wings and the supercharged engine. Took around 6 months to get it titled so I could drive it on the street. It really was an incredible experience owning one. But I have to say, driving it around town sucked. The brakes were the strangest thing to me. Felt like pushing against a wall. Like it literally felt like the pedal never moved....just sensed the pressure you were applying...which was like doing a leg press, every time you wanted to stop lol. Car was quick as hell, and handled amazingly. It's a memory I will always treasure.
@@vhayne91777 most race cars have really hard and stiff break pedals, to counteract the G-force being put on the body and to decrease the amount of lockups i believe
Funny how Hammond said that in the real world post apocalypse we'd be driving stripped down cars without car bodies, just tubular design. That's exactly what cars looked like in Mad Max 3.
No protection. No fuel capacity. Cant sleep in it. No weapons storage. If it shits the bed parts are impossible. So no. We wouldnt. We would be in xb falcons or, more modern, monaros with longgggg range tanks.
Well it makes sense. Bodies are the had part to build. The driveline components bolt right in and can be mix and matched, but forming your own sheet metal is art. that is why offroaders build tube buggies when they aren't using ready-built trucks. Although I don't think either of the machines Hammond was featuring would look at all right in a Mad Max movie of any sort, especially not the X-Bow.
if these are the outtakes, just goes to show you how much good footage the editors have to work with, also hats off to the camera men, director and the choice of music/songs....add to the pot three middle aged eloquent fools and you get a recipe for chaotic bliss
Top Gear was the best because of Jeremy , May and Hammond . . . . miss their voice , witty humor , friendly competition , pranks and stunts . . . . it was simply brilliant . . . like all the stars aligned perfectly for this creation . . . . miss it :(
@@joelquick4954 Unfortunately, even though it is nice, I just feel like the older BBC days top gear had much more going on. Plus, they take AGES for one episode.
@@hariranormal5584 Yeah, the Top Gear episodes are certainly more re-watchable and The Grand Tour is almost like if they did a movie. Way higher budget, more content and at most times, more scripted. It's cool to watch The Grand Tour every now and then but if I had to, I could watch Top Gear on repeat for the rest of my life.
I'm glad there's more to the motor-home camping trip episode, it always felt like the parts of the episode that actually showed them setting it up/sleeping was lacking and cut short
Lol I wonder if it has something to do with Hammond taking all night to build his home. Perhaps they had activities planned that they couldn’t get to due to timing. But I agree, I would have LOVED to see more of it
You can see James going through the motions of “Should I bother trying to explain it properly to him? Will he actually care? Will I care? Easiest to just let him believe that.”
through ashes and dust, trials and tribulations, laughter and sadness. We have been blessed by three Kings of modern day that have sparked imagination and touched our hearts in ways that words can not express.The experiences of three men changed the world in a profound way. But as we grow older our experiences turn to memories and our memories we share with the ones we cherish most. I thank you James, Richard and Jeremy for the memories you have given me and I will cherish them to the day my ashes turn to dust. God speed into the light gentlemen.
When they aren't in character, James and Jeremy are truly enjoyable people. With Clarksons Farm you really get a good look at who he really is, and it's not the same person as presented on TV. And James, well, honestly he's so lovable even in Top Gear persona, but when he's just being himself, he makes you feel like anyone could be friends with him.
I mean, I imagine the makers of the car sent them an e-mail afterwards, because they call it properly in their track-day car challenge. Lets not forget Clarkson for a few episodes called the Veyron the Veryon. Similarly I'm sure Bugatti sent them an email in response.
The scene shot with Jeremy Clarkson‘s block of flats goes off the cliff. I had a family member having a coffee on the beach at the time, taking pictures which they thought was hilarious
Hammond calling it the "Ex-Bow"; and Clarkson calling a certain Bugatti the "Veryon" the first time they talked about it, is still weirdly funny to me today.
The Ken Block segment had my heart in my mouth, My dads a surgeon and often said driving fast on the highway is the fastest way to his operating theatre Ken was on a highway to heaven
The first one was just Australian, the post-apocalyptic setting wasn't until the second one. The first one seems kinda empty and barren but that's just Australia lmao.
I don’t care for cars. I can recognize color and general shape, but all I care about is “Can it get me where I want to go?” Cars bore me to tears, but these three made me enjoy a topic that I normally want nothing to do with. That is the pinnacle of entertainment talent when you can make someone invested in a subject they normally could not be bothered with.
I don’t know what it is but the clip of James and Jeremy talking to each other about their motorhomes is one of my favourite clips, it’s just two old men talking bollocks but it’s brilliant
Mad max is my favourite movie ever but I always wondered why he drove a thursty V8 that did 10 miles to the gallon but fuel is no were to be found..lol..
I live in the corner of the planet where the original nteresting thing about the Mad Max was filmed… The town where the bikers go, Clunes, is about 15mins from me… The interesting thing is, the way things are going we’re not too far from it being a documentary.
Eh i mean the 350Z already looks obese, as good as the styling is. The GTR in my opinion looks more like if you took the front of the 350, filled it out, and took the rear of an R34 and stitched it on. Which is probably what the designers were thinking
Charlotte Dunois, i agree an areal nomad would probably do fine, i was more speaking to the low ride height and stiff suspention of the atom and xbow which would be trashed in minutes going over a rocky desert wasteland
Maybe someday KTM might build themselves a buggy but then again , they should stick to making bikes instead , cuz the Xbow is a pain to drive even on the circuits
Diese Sendereihe hat Spaß gebracht. Wenn es mal ne Deutsche Version hiervon geben soll, würde ich gerne mitmachen . Auch wenn es nicht so gut wird wie das Original. 👍👋
When it comes 2 Mad Max you also have 2 consider protection from flame throwers, machine guns, snipers, explosions, and so on so having a open cockpit would limit it for certain places. Just imagining the reality of a situation such as that...
That Ken Block section should have been released as a standalone TopGear video when he passed away. I'm not a KB fanboy, but that would have been a fitting tribute to him.
