David Grayson Well, yes, that's what I always wonder. How do people react if their old car was on the show in a piece like this. Still though, there are many cars you could feel more sorry for.
4:13 That’s the very same Vauxhall Carlton that Richard used as a submarine and went underwater in it. That Vauxhall had probably the most interesting life ever for a Carlton GL.

That doesn't explain anything, Feramersi, are you suggesting that anything old is always better than anything new? Because I have some lasagne from 2008 and it's looking a bit hairy.
This is classic Top Gear. Just three guys (or in this case just Hammond and May) dicking around and finding creative ways to destroy junk cars (and caravans).
Top Gear has an app where you can do all their stunts, including attaching a dart to the front of a car and the feather on the back and running it off a ramp into a target.
Hammond & May played Darts on Top Gear & Battleship on The Grand Tour while all along in the background Jezza was playing Monopoly buying up land for his Farm.
@Pavsta1992 That's because James didn't hit "the dartboard" .. So 25 points + 0 points makes 25 points after his second throw. And in his third throw he hit 5 points : 25 + 5 = 30 so it's correct
1:30. I tried to find out what this car was by typing in the registration number (Y809 XBL) into the DVLA website and it came back as a blue Land Rover! I now know that it was a Toyota Celica convertible with 'modified' (I use that term lightly here!) front and rear lights.
I found that! It's been bugging me for a while not knowing the story of that car. It's very strange it's a 2001 Y plate when those Celicas are from the 80's. Also, why the hell would anyone modify it like that?
I saw another comment somewhere shortly after typing the above comment that stated that the car was modified for a TV advert. These days they just take the badges off!
@TGFan101 I See, actually the convertible is not actually a production car, sources say it was actually a Redesigned Toyota Celica Cabrio mixed together with an Early SAAB 900 Cabrio. It was used it an advert many years ago, and was coincidentally purchased off the production team of top gear. So unfortunately you can not buy this car as its a one off. However upon Googl'ing both cars, you can see the slight resemblance to the one in this video. Sorry I cant help further.
I love how Richard says 'a bit higher' while James says '1200 psi, bore elevation, about 40 degrees'.

I might have also meant 'but it was just pathetic.'

5:05 You can actually hear Hammond shouting in the background from earlier.
Yeah
aaa
And less sarcastic
Mr. Bones omg stop
I was about to mention that hah
4:13 That’s the very same Vauxhall Carlton that Richard used as a submarine and went underwater in it.
That Vauxhall had probably the most interesting life ever for a Carlton GL.
I just realised that from the license plate lol, the car went from a normal guy to a drowned experimental car to a dart
Watched this loads of times on TV and only just thought that was the same car they used now 😂
You see a Vauxhall Carlton... I see the silhouette of a VN Commodore
waait I thought they only produced 950 of these carltons?
@@RealMakarov Thats for the Lotus Carlton. The really tuned up one that the feds couldnt catch and was beating almost every supercar during the 90s
I love how the wore the hard hats when they went down to check the dart board...It'll protect you from a flying car
they should have used Dodge Darts.
brugh
new darts were not out in 2004, but point still holds old darts are way to expensive to destroy
Thuugccu,t
I think it was just a joke. Also this guys have like unlimited budget
They dont have the dodge dart in the uk so they would have to be imported
If you listen carefully on the replay you can hear Hammond shouting "yyeeeeaaaaasssss!!!!!" in the background.

It wasn't uploaded to TH-cam until years after it had already come out on tv. TH-cam wasnt even a thing when this was made.

This episode's extract deserves to be in my playlist named Happy People.
Now this is an event I'd tune in to watch at the 2016 Olympics in Rio!
when im watching this, i cant help it but think that somewhere some rich dude is doing this exact same thing just for boredom... :D
Honestly, ten minutes of that Volvo flying through the air, smashing the caravan, Hammond and May going “YES!” and Hammond’s laugh afterwards please
The new series has nothing on this
Because this was from 2004.....

At least it's got a lot better since you made this comment.
Apparently, you haven't seen the Car Battleship.
This is what the U.S. government thought was happening before they decided to ban Lawn Darts.
This is classic Top Gear. Just three guys (or in this case just Hammond and May) dicking around and finding creative ways to destroy junk cars (and caravans).
A caravan always gets destroyed lol
4:13 I think that is the same Vauxhall Carlton that Hammond used in that underwater challenge he did with it.
i love these three gentle men . they make my day .... as if they are some how related to MR BEAN.

Which make is the brown convertible at 3:10. Is it a Escort
So this is where they got the idea for the car darts in the App - Top Gear: Stunt School Revolution

Darts at an insane level
