Hey We also have school buses

@LaBass666 That's the Land Yachts I believe

@@sleightlyhandy889 yeah busses not cars.

School buses have ladder chassis; so I guess the bus would be represented by the Ram 🤷🏽‍♂️

don't forget the SUVs

carpetburn Isn't it just the expression of drawing the short straw, except he replaced straw with hotdog? Or are you suggesting that it's supposed to be sexual?

It's not sexual, they're just mocking the US.

Anzac-A1 how, I don't get that?

Derby Racer think he thinks they pulled out their dicks

Jesus. There's nothing to get. He's an idiot to thinks that they whipped their dicks out and Jeremy being the tallest had the smallest dick which is why he did the voice over. When in reality they just drew sticks. Nothing else to it

He's the Stag

🤣🤣🤣🤣

He was only the second Stig that Clarkson got in a fight with, and the only Stig Clarkson hasn't made up with.

American Stig or as I called it the Stog

o h

Hammond: This MF spittin’

This was a prophecy come true

I'm still really facilitated, that he survived it!

What happened?

Gravydog316 I died!!

Hammond just Busrts out laughing hahahahaha

"Such an insufferable oaf!"

Only cheese? Which kind?

Its not The Stig... it's The Stigs AMERICAN COUSIN

@@Saucy-ws6jc Oh, but just "cheese" is so much funnier, though. A cheeseburger is stereotypical.

And strawberries for dessert.

@@ericmadsen7470 Imitation American Cheese

Glen Campbell's "Wichita Lineman", a perfect match!

Expect the Cadillac isnt nice and relaxing

I was looking for a comment about that song, I felt in love with it thanks to this video. It’s such a heart warming, at ease song, it takes me to another place... RIP Glen.

@@kristian5821 seriously, they're great aren't they

Me too

me 3

Me too -every top gear fan ever

Count me in, I miss Top Gear as well... (2002-2015)

They shouldnt even call it top gear no more

c'mon . it's set up, all of it is

@@IshtiaqeOG jermy

2charliep and now he’s built like fat stig

This episode was aired in 2007 I believe. The year of some of the best specials that Top Gear ever did!

He hasn't lost his hair.

+Sebastian Cano Roughly a third of the US population are same. Another third are ridiculously patriotic, and are the loudest of the groups (the ones who get the most butthurt). The other third romanticise Russia, Communism, etc etc for whatever reasons. I don't understand it at all XD

Alexis Auld Lol you right.

Because they are sensitive buggers

Americans r the most easily offended people on the planet

Sebass Because they are American.

Was one of the most genuinely lovely moments of top gear

Most blue coler thing

Its "fast" at the corners too

Only American can say this

The brakes were pretty good

it is! a beautiful automobile! a real luxury car, not like today's crap cars lol

Wichita Lineman was perfect for the Cadillac, couldn't have though of a better track

Was

@@alangreig4261 you replied to 2 years old comment so yea obviously "was"

Let Em leave him alone people probably wouldn’t have known.

Yeah I thought so

He taught me any vehicle made outside of the US is communist.

except the sunburnt ;)

Builder's companion stig

No his arm is too pale

I was the 100th likes of your comment

Big rig stig

Now, with simple tuning, these 80s Camaro now do 0-60 under 3 seconds

@@hybridAbsol Simple tuning? Are you sure? I guarantee you'd need to get some forced induction on that thing to bring it under 3 seconds

@@ryanscott99 the 5.0 V8 was detuned to 220hp for a reason, the engine actually produces about 400hp so with just natural aspirated setup, it will up to 600hp, of course with sports suspension, larger tyres and limited slip differential

@@hybridAbsol Fair enough, I wouldn't call that simple though, and you'd have to be pretty slick at changing gears and at launch to get it under 3 seconds, especially with it being RWD

@@ryanscott99 double clutch kit would be enough to get off the line quicker, since the stock gearbox isnt gonna be able to handle 600hp Yeah theres a lot to be done with this Camaro

This comment aged like milk

A comment from 2010....woww

Oh boy...

I see it too lmao

Same

Free`Water I thought he said ''insufferable oaf''

+shazaibbiazahs You are correct sir or madam.

Free`Water A

its oaf, not oath

4:26

Well Hammond is actually the shortest

Was 360p HD ten years ago?

@@JSMEsq actually 360p was SD and there was 480p HQ :) 720p HD was brand new at the time

@@mericdrives wow 720p was too end back then? I'm using an s20+ with 3800x2160 resolution it's mental how far we've come

*So everyone gonna ignore how he responded to a 10 year old comment*

@@lordgrim1798 that is utterly amazing

Except the Alabama bit. That was horror movie territory.

Every episode

@Nic Lazzari prove it

If you think Top Gear would've survived much longer, think again. The BBC just wanted to get rid of it in the shape it had. A show like that in Political Correctness bureau (which the BBC pretty much is) caused too many blisters back then. The "fracas" was just an excuse, the alibi the BBC needed to ax Clarkson (and by extension the three guys) off the show. Had it not been that it'd been something else, guaranteed.

@@ramjb Good to know you're a topgear fan Ramjb. :)

That cost him his job and lot of pc

Could be.. There is mark Harmon. Then there was also a time when it looked like tony Stewart would have trouble getting in his car

It was Mike Skinner

Or maybe it was ben collins in a fat suit

My thoughts exactly 🤣

ive seen some big people in helmets and they dont look like that, i think its like pillows or something like that

+Triunp I don't think that's it

+Triunp I have a different version of the episode then, I downloaded it from iTunes years ago. For me it's a laid back blues song with slide guitar. Won't come up on Shazam either and I can't find any info on it anywhere.

Wichita Lineman - Glen Campbell

thatamerican550 they already did

Beechaii2 That isn't the dance.

Zoltan Csikos It's a joke m8

i see it like this In ukraine, clarkson is pointing at a fiesta 3 cyl saying "this is brilliant but i like this" (this being the Vw up-exclimationmark)

I think the oil crisis at that time influenced that? The fastest method to improve fuel efficiency a bit is to detune the engines.

@@dbclass4075 No, thats not what caused it. Mainly what did it was the switch over from lead to unleaded fuel, and the clean air act altogether. Emissions more than fuel economy, as making an engine less thermodynamic also REDUCES fuel efficiency. When they switched over from leaded to unleaded, early on in the late 70s early 80s the unleaded fuel had a lower octane which meant engines had to lower their compression ratios to compensate for the available legal fuel. Going from 9:1 prior to, to around 7:1 after. Eventually fuel got better and compressions went back up, but 9:1 in the 90s was still considered "high compression". Hell, my 97 Mercedes was 10.5:1 and that was considered very high at the time and today thats low. But aside from lower compression ratios to deal with crappy fuel they also had many new emissions regulations to meet which would further reduce the efficiency of the engines by adding on extra crap like complex air pumps, egr systems, richer af/r to reduce nox, exhuast restrictions in the form of catalytic convertors to burn the unburnt fuel from the richer af/r mixtures the list goes on. Not really "detuning" an engine so much as choking it, which is the very opposite youd want to do to achieve fuel efficiency. There was nothing fuel efficient about the early 90s modular V8s compared to a modern V8 of equal displacement.

@@shabutir1820 On the topic of the Clean Air Act, are intake and exhaust after-treatment (catalytic converters, particulate filters, etc.) a factor too?

@@dbclass4075 A factor for what? Efficiency? Modern catalytic convertors are very efficient and high flow, which means they have very little impact on the engines overall efficiency compared to early ones. I dont really know a whole lot about diesel engines.

That depressed boi I think they were all bought in Florida

@@thribs ok thanks
