Ha, i was at that gas station this past Sunday. I always ask them if this was real or staged and they always tell me they don't know what I'm talking about.
Of course, it was staged you guys… 🤦♂️🤷♂️cmon now! 🤯🤦♂️ if you are American and saying that then you aren’t very American or aware of much..? I don’t know how to put it..
They've been to Chernobyl, Antarctica, and an Bolivian mountain pass literally called the 'Death Road', but the closest the Top Gear guys ever got to being killed was when the went to rural Alabama lmao
As much as I am a very biased American , and id love to believe we have the best car shows. Top Gear UK was by far the best car show ever. The American version was a joke in comparison. I remember watching it growing up and loving it. Top class.
I don’t know if you are looking for an argument, but you probably won’t find one especially from an American on what you said.. 🤷♂️ I’ve never seen any Americans say that the American version is better than the British..? Works both ways with TV and movies! Some are better at some things, and some are better at others like the American office. Probably the first show people think about when copying. American version is a million times better. 95% of people will agree with me probably more. I am very aware that there are people that think the British version of the office is better.. 🤯 yeah it’s not sorry haha
As someone from Alabama, I hate when the whole state is portrayed this way. Don't let videos like this give you a bad view of us. Even if that whole thing was completely real and not staged at all, now a days those kind of people only exist openly in the bubbles of those small little shithole towns like they were in. By the way, Daz, what part of Bama are you coming to in November?
Yeah, I'm in the north of the state. Other than our *elected* politicians, most people up here are pretty reasonable around this town. I wondered where they are going, too... would be cool to have a beer or something.
i’m not even from the south and I think that type of talk is so stupid.. 🤯🤦♂️ the south gets a bad rap why?? The whole damn south! Makes no sense to me and that just tells me people have been watching too many movies or have been on social media too much. The south is absolutely massive and many states. Only foreigners, especially Europeans think Americans are running around saying “Yeeee-Hawww” all the time.. 🤦♂️or like Nascar 😆such Bs.
@@LuxRoyale I agree I am from Michigan and live in Michigan and even those southern stereotypes piss me off today. Such BS they are for the most part. Most of the time when you see this type of stuff it’s from Europeans thinking that’s how they really act. 🤦♂️
@@BriBryBriBry Yes for sure. If it were real, those 4 boys would be jumping out of the truck while it was still rolling. They did a good job of hyping it up though.
James did say in an interview, before the Argentina thing, that this was the scardest he'd ever been in a Top Gear Special, that includes driving to the north pole
If he were to believe what the Europeans think about southerners in the United States.. I doubt he would come. 🤷♂️ but obviously he’s DAZ and knows better especially better than most Europeans because he lived here.. i’m sure it would be cool.
It's still isn't any different. Fuel is about $3.80 per gallon now in the U.S. and is still much cheaper than in the UK and Europe. Right now, the UK is over 7 dollars per US gallon.
Of course, it was staged you guys… 🤦♂️🤷♂️cmon now! 🤯🤦♂️ if you are American and saying that then you aren’t very American or aware of much..? I don’t know how to put it..

Don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya! If I rode through small town England with antagonist slogans painted on my car, I bet I would be ushered out as well
It’s easy for me: Daz - Clarkson… the loudest and most outspoken, been there done that type Dave - Hammond… still clinging to his youth/boy racer but failing to get away with it Mike - May… fan favourite that everyone routes for, and a distinguished mind
They have since admitted, this was all staged. They even admitted, the guys that pulled up in the pickup, were just a random group of guys. I still love old Top Gear though, even when they are making fun of Americans!
It is a TV show so of course some parts are staged and there is some sneaky editing to portray a narrative. But at the end of the day it was entertaining and a good laugh.
To think you'd actually get killed for doing that smh. Staged or not, I don't really like this show, the humor is mean-spirited. Richard Hammond seems like a good guy though, I think it's just Clarkson that I don't like
Was chased out of Alabam myself, circa 1980. Didn't return for decades, despite being a landowner - and only then, after one of my kids moved there and became a landowner.
I disagree with Dave because I think that the panic with the crew using soda to rinse off the paint was 100% real. If you watch the whole episode, after they leave the gas station they were followed by a bunch of cars. They were genuinely concerned for their health and safety.
Of course, it was staged you guys… 🤦♂️🤷♂️cmon now! 🤯🤦♂️ if you are American and saying that then you aren’t very American or aware of much..? I don’t know how to put it..
This was 100% staged. I would bet they even paid those people at the gas station telling them they would be on tv to act stereotypical redneck. If someone really wanted to hurt you in Alabama or any other "redneck" part of the South, they simply hurt you. This kind of stuff is staged nonsense and the conversation they have dosnt even sound authentic unless you think movies are real.
I think they were mostly pissed off because they knew they were being mocked. That lady sure seemed to know and she wasn't having it. She called the boys!
Of course, it was staged you guys… 🤦♂️🤷♂️cmon now! 🤯🤦♂️ if you are American and saying that then you aren’t very American or aware of much..? I don’t know how to put it..
I hope you aren’t English and saying that lol.. because obviously gas is more in the UK, but Americans drive way way more than English people do so.. 🤷♂️
I’m sure there are so many English people that believe all of this is 100% real in the USA… 🤦♂️🤯🤷♂️🤣 I feel sorry for them if they really do lmao.. the reactions from so many of the Americans are terrible and so fake 🤷♂️ obviously! But most of us Americans found it hilarious.. one of the best shows ever imo. Even though Clarkson loves to say crap about Americans that isn’t even close to being true whatever makes him feel better.
When I drove through the south, as soon as I got to the Alabama border, all music stations were cut off the radio and every station was bible thumping preachers. Just dozens of fire and brimstone sermons. So glad we were there for just one night, in Birmingham. IT is amazing the gullibility and cult hood of some areas of this country.
Never understood why so many people cared if top gear was scripted. Was it entertaining? For sure. Then who cares. Just enjoy it. Pretty much all tv is scripted and I could care less unless it’s labeled as a documentary, which top gear for sure isn’t, but it’s entertaining!
I don’t think most people care.. but they do care about people that don’t even know them actually thinking and believing these things they are saying when it’s total BS 90% of it.
@@BriBryBriBry Well they did make fun of pretty much everywhere including their own country so what’s the problem here? Can’t take the joke when it’s about you?
Daz is the douchier version of Jeremy Clarkson, if that's possible. Mike is barely noticeable most of the time, so he doesn't get to be anyone. Dave is the nice guy, but boring. Hammond and May don't have equivalents here. I don't understand the Dave hate on this channel. He's the least douchey person on it.
DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS PERSON!!! only get your travel advice from people who live there and not just visited a place and then say there's nothing to do there, because aobviously they're talking out of their ass
100% scripted show there are many articles with interviews including them themselves saying yes it was scripted in order to make it "more entertaining".
Sorry this pisses me off so much...but, you guys dont understand. We are ALL armed. And 1/2 of us are actual criminals. Plz dont come to the States without a production crew and 2 degrees of separation and do things like that. You will get royally jacked.
By your grammar, I assume you're one of the half dozen teeth in the back of that truck? If half of you are criminals, you shouldn't have firearms anyway. Not all of Alabama is like this, you make it sound that way. When, I was at Benning we would go through Dothan on the way to PC and fuck with people like this, cause we were a mixed group. We just had bumper stickers that said "Thank God for Sherman", and things like that. We all had the applicable permits, but no need we were young military guys that were pretty jacked. We would get snide looks, the occasional middle finger, and of course "nigger lovers". No violence, cause we understood the Constitution we swore an oath too! If any of that got violent with fists or firearms, someone like you and your buddies wouldn't have stood a chance either way. You piss me off with your ignorance.
Ha, i was at that gas station this past Sunday. I always ask them if this was real or staged and they always tell me they don't know what I'm talking about.
if the woman is the actual owner and she's denying it, she probably doesn't wanna look bad to millions of people

You guys had me scared, thought you guys weren’t gonna upload today. I still cant believe you do 3 vids a day so consistently. Keep it uppp
Yes! More Top Gear with Hammond, Clarkson, and May.
CCCCLLLLLAAAARRRRRKKKKSSSSOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!
When this was released, most of us asked, "What did you think was going to happen?"
They be too busy with family?
The rock throwing and chase scenes were not real. But it is still a classic Top Gear episode.
95% of it wasn’t real
yeah it's fun to watch, but none of this was real
@@BriBryBriBryThey were in no danger, they may have been yelled at but nobody was gonna hurt them
If a kid can shoot his classmates , this seems absolutely possible .
@@rockydungdung9187yes but they fake some stuff like Tesla broke down and Elon said it was fine and they made it up

Man i miss the old Top Gear. Legit one of the best shows on tv.

I love how they treat Alabama like it's Somalia or something.

Probably my favorite episode.
Baldwin County, I believe, where the author of Forest Gump lived/lives.
@2:48 WAIT! You mean to tell me that the professional television producers DIDN'T actually want one of their on screen talents to be shot?
That guy in the white hat and white T-shirt sounded just like a South Park character.

Best Police vid ever........Bodycam Shows Handcuffed Woman Stealing Tulsa Police Car
Are they going to drive those cars though Knightsbridge or Newham?
Best episode.
Gas is still less than $4.
Daz, if you're coming to Alabama, I'd love to meet up.
Yeah, I would, too.
If he were to believe what the Europeans think about southerners in the United States.. I doubt he would come. 🤷♂️ but obviously he’s DAZ and knows better especially better than most Europeans because he lived here.. i’m sure it would be cool.
I thought the bodycam reactions were good, more Top Gear!! :D
They raced for the border.... with Mississippi?
When you mentioned the price of fuel and exchange rate you have to remember this episode aired in February 2007
It's still isn't any different. Fuel is about $3.80 per gallon now in the U.S. and is still much cheaper than in the UK and Europe. Right now, the UK is over 7 dollars per US gallon.
That was risky AF if it wasn't staged! It's a great idea in theory, but dangerous in reality.

"wahh wahh they're mean to my fee fees wahh wahh!". Shut up.
I remember when this aired as a yanking thought it was hilarious
If Southerners reach for rocks first you're very Lucky.
You should do the episode where they actually got ran out of Argentina lol
sorry but nothing on top gear isnt planned/scripted/staged. aside from that drive through argentina
