It's a bit late for telling, but as far as I know, it's Jeremy's way of delivery. He really have the habit of using "an" rather incorrectly. I guess, that way, he could stress more whatever the object is that he's going to tell. And in fairness, pragmatically, people will understand what he's saying without any problem. It's spoken, anyway...not written.
The cornerstone of British engineering. 2 worlds clashing together:- The villainous charisma of the Jaaaaaag owner and charm of a transit driving tradesman.
"what if you bang for fast twice? that's like slower" - "leave a pause". that's classic Top Gear, the kind of stuff that gives this show its flavor and the kind of stuff that keeps us tuned in :)
I'm Australian, and I am just gonna say straight up, the Australian Top Gear was TERRIBLE! US, OZ, And Korea should just leave the experts at the UK to do their job. ...Mind you, I did get a few laughs from Shane Jacobson.
Wow... this clip reminds me of my old van days so much... beating a car no one expected me to in a race, sharing driving duties... except we sat in the same seat, person on the right hand side steered that way, and operated the gas. the left was brake, and left turns. It actually worked quite well, though we never did it on a busy street, or in live traffic. Always late at night, on a barely used road. It was also really roomy inside, and whoever was on the right was always prepared to jump off, and leave it to the right. Man, I did some really stupid shit as a kid... Like parking-lot surfing. Stupid, but so much fun!
Wow, I can’t believe how bad the Australians were, they only had to go against a “slightly turbocharged” van and in the second challenge we let them be on their right orientation.
Pretty sure the guy who was looking at them said what's this. And then they all asked what is that that must have known that Jaguar XJ220 wheels and then thought no it can't be and sure enough they were right.
Top Gear UK vs Top Gear USA Richard Hammond vs Adam Ferrera James May vs Rutledge Wood Jeremy Clarkson vs Tanner Foust Alternatively I would like to see a full blown, no holds barred race between UK Stig against Foust. With Stig driving a McLaren MP4-12C against Foust in a Viper SRT-10 (hardcore package).
Top Gear UK found great playmates with Top Gear Australia. The challenge with Top Gear Germany was great too, but these guys can throw banter at each other mercilessly and just have a good laugh and good time.
‘An’ should only be used in reference to a singular noun that begins with a vowel, like “An ox” or “An axle” or a word that begins with a vowel sound, like “An hour” (the H is silent so it just sounds like ‘our’) Jeremy was just being funny by using an incorrect word for the sentence he was saying
brits and aussies are great at banter, when theres americans and brits its not the same, (some) americans are so thin skinned, they cannot take a joke about their precious country. Not to say there arent americans who can take a joke, but its not as usual as with aussies or brits who dont take themselves as seriously
Agent Washington belgium is a fair target, no one gets upset when you make a joke about belgium, not even the belgians. The brits have been making jokes about the belgians for centuries, and the ones who laugh the hardest at those jokes are the belgians themselves, saves them from oblivion
u know the other problem with other topgear. the hosts r too cooperative and clever while uk's hosts try to kill each other and blithering idiot + james may's "oh cock" that'd be sarcasticly brilliant.
I thought that too but Hammond said "Well, what if you bang for faster twice? That's like slower" And James said "I'll leave a pause" Maybe Hammond just meant 'You' in the general meaning of anyone, and James said "Well, leave a pause"
@@cyburgin I don't think so because doing so you would have Abby Eaton face against Chris Harris a more experienced race car driver to much Chris Harris would end up winning
True. Then again, that had a massive wing and widebody on it, it wouldn't fool anybody. Plus, the F1 engine broke down shortly after the van was made so they replaced it with an Escort RS Cosworth engine, sadly.
"You didn't say we weren't allowed to bring a Jaguar propelled van."
Fair point.
They didn't even tell Richard about the Jaguar engine
its okay because he got a JAAAAAAAGGGG
@@IronReptile JAG-WHAR
You didn’t say I couldn’t cheat at school
"It's upside down!"
"Yes, but it won't be when you're back home!"
Glad to see somebody got that down under reference
Love your profile pic.
I think the purposely did that to the Australian
Their humor is a decade ahead of its time.
I didn't get it??
"Slightly Turbo-Charged" Probably my all time favorite Top Gear quote!
Ian Thompson One of my favorites here is Bruce's quote 'what the hell is in that van...'
+grisznik Or 'You could've warned me, I had the shock of my life', though that's largely because of Hammond's delivery of the line.
appelpower1
Yeah, but 'what the hell is in that van' is the winner for me, the timbre of the voice, the disbelief...
grisznik Well, it's probably the better of the two...
appelpower1
Everyone can have their favorite, I'm just explaining why this wins for me, over the other one :)
I am watching this in Australia and it must have been very difficult for the UK guys to drive upside down.
Underrated comment
Definitely underrated.
Or to shower daily.
I love how Jodie Kidd yelled "Hammond!" like Jeremy does
I like how James tries to grab the steering-wheel at 4:25 :D

2:30 "we are racing against the flat earth society". So much lolz
BWithMist they would be right way up if earth was flat...
It's kinda scary when you think about it

Grammar 101 with Jeremy Clarkson

Hahahahahahahaa
'You could have warned me, I got the shock of my life!'
Clearly Hammond didn't see anything unusual in a Ford Transit with XJ220 wheels, then.
It's like a Transit skin for the XJ220
I love how they crash into each other more than into anything else, across all episodes.
They need to put those double decked cars in GTA online
Like a new race mode or something.
And all vehicles that appeared in that TV show (Leaning Tower Citroën, Peel P50, Electric Car etc).
@@mariodacostamosteiro7262 Oh yeah, but it would be more funnier if they make more vehicles similar to some Top Gear cars.
They are in WreckFest :))
i was thinking about that too while watching lol
Jeremy, richard, and James will always be the only true top gear hosts
The Van's engine was not stock, but it's ok, because the engine was from a Jaaaaag...
Top Gear reference

The villainous charisma of the Jaaaaaag owner and charm of a transit driving tradesman.
@@Bav-s30zThe 2 aren’t mutually exclusive. Doing a shoddy job in the Tranny during the week before going out in the Jaaag on the weekend
This videos proves how superior uk top gear is, in a comedic way.
I'd still rather watch Auzzie TG than American TG
This entire episode was basically just putting the Aussies in their place
@@bonkersllama "in their place"? If you gotta cheat to prove you're better, you're not very good xD
@HappyLarry in what ways was there cheating?
@@monkeydui7241 ...what?
I love how surprised hammond was. "You could've warned me!"
I love how they got to the point where the Top Gear team just wanted to beat each other.
5:30
*Darryn, just shut up and DRIVE!*
😂
It is slightly turbocharged
"We're racing against the Flat Earth Society."
This show is so quotable.
Being upside down for a long time can get real dangerous real fast. I'm surprised nothing happened to them.
In truth, they felt like they were back home.
It gives you motion sickness not good.
But they lived in Australia tho so it's normal for them
It takes hours and hours for blood to pool in your head and your heart to suffer from the stress
ReaLLY not real.
"what if you bang for fast twice? that's like slower" - "leave a pause". that's classic Top Gear, the kind of stuff that gives this show its flavor and the kind of stuff that keeps us tuned in :)
The van had actually Jaguar XJ220 rims on its wheels as well.
In fairness, the version shown on Australian TV actually had them point out that the wheels looked familiar.
INEEDNAWZZZ Good of you to tell
Rims on its wheels? You mean it has xj220 wheels
I'm Australian, and I am just gonna say straight up, the Australian Top Gear was TERRIBLE!
US, OZ, And Korea should just leave the experts at the UK to do their job.
...Mind you, I did get a few laughs from Shane Jacobson.
I guess they're still better than TGUS...
they’re just bland. not bad just bland.
American top gear wasn't as awful as people say it was. it's just worse than uk top gear
@@gaocheng1 not bad, just worse than every other top gear
I'm from the UK and its not that we do it best, it's that JC RH & JM did it best. The new top gear without them is rubbish.
I don't even care about cars. I'm the type that says "it's a blue one" when someone asks about a car brand... but this is one of my favourite shows.
"It even managed to beat you while carrying an engine in the back." XD
“Look at his hair!”
“We are...” 😂
I came here for the Van!
I love how they all forget about the turbo when Hammond says they could of warned him, they're just like a bunch of mates haha
"I'VE GOT NO HANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
-waves both hands around-
I love the endless banter between Australia and England. It keeps both nations in check!
Strewth
“Bruce”
“Nigel”

Top Gear Australia is the only other Top Gear worth watching other than the originals
2:23 The greatest upside down joke of all time
"You could've warned me, I had the shock of my life". Hahaha

Who mutilated an XJ220 to make that van?
***** It was a Jaguar test bench for the V6, according to Google.
***** I'd mutilate one of those hideous travesties any day. Worst car ever put out by Jaguar.
+PastaOverseer As far as Im aware, that engine now powers an Ice Cream van made by the same guy
Tyrm Lmao
+Taylor Wenslow Blasphemy !!
4:29 James is searching for his steering wheel :D
-"Are you the ones who are looking for a driver for a bank job?"
-"Is that your van over there?"
-"...ye?"
-"You hired"
When are we gonna see UK vs US, or UK vs Korea?.
Come on producers those are a ratings gold.
P.S. Top Gear vs Fifth Gear, come on its so obvious!
pbfloyd13 lets make a challenge where the presenters from fifth gear can only use fifth gear and make them race an 8 gear car XD
Ukvs us is coming this season
I guess never... :'(
pbfloyd13 We can't have UK vs US or anyone vs US because if the Americans will get offended, if you make a joke about their precious country.
UK Top Gear rulesss !!!
love to watch all their reviews
Fun fact for you Darren Lyons is now (or was until recently) the mayor of one of the largest towns in the Australian state of Victoria.
i really love how the aussies take this waaaay to serious
1:07 You can tell the Aussie lot have already seen the writing on the wall when they noticed the rims on the van.
Pretty sure the guy who was looking at them said what's this. And then they all asked what is that that must have known that Jaguar XJ220 wheels and then thought no it can't be and sure enough they were right.
I’m pretty sure every single person on set knew about the van having a xj220 engine in it before they saw the wheels.
Yeah, I always get that up-down thing confused when I go to Europe.
videowilliams that might explain that guy I saw walking on the ceiling in that hotel in Warsaw.
@@Poud2 that or the LSD
Everytime I watch this again, I'd always finds it funny even the subtle reference of the XJ220 rims fitted to the Ford Transit😂
Still one of the best episodes of top gear.
Finally Top gear in Full hd !
The van with the turbo charged jaguar engine is one of my favourite clips from top gear :D
Top Gear UK vs Top Gear USA
Richard Hammond vs Adam Ferrera
James May vs Rutledge Wood
Jeremy Clarkson vs Tanner Foust
Alternatively I would like to see a full blown, no holds barred race between UK Stig against Foust. With Stig driving a McLaren MP4-12C against Foust in a Viper SRT-10 (hardcore package).
Ha! I'm Australian and I still don't know who to go for when I watch this! 😂
At 4:08, that sound in the background is from the music in Diablo II Act-2 town music. Hah.
LAWL "It is slightly turbocharged..."
1:42 That Laugh 🤣
As an Australian, I can confirm the Australian car that the upside down car idea is genius. I can finally see cars in the right way up.
I know! It’s a bit exhausting having to watch Top Gear upside down all the time. It was very kind of them to turn the Aussies the correct way up.
A Jag-powered van vs. a Corvette-powered ute, fair fight
"It says Jaguar.....and its turb...two!" LOL
Top Gear UK found great playmates with Top Gear Australia. The challenge with Top Gear Germany was great too, but these guys can throw banter at each other mercilessly and just have a good laugh and good time.
3:17 ITS THE MAYOR OF GEELONG!
How could people possibly dislike this?
0:42 that proves that earth is round.
I knew somethings up when I saw that xtra-wide rear tires on that van at 0:05... Wish my van had that engine...
“with the Aussies the right way up” yes.
"With the Aussies the right way up..."
I was howling 😆
Why does Jeremy say "an van" at 1:16? Is this some English rule I am unaware of?
Just for humor.
‘An’ should only be used in reference to a singular noun that begins with a vowel, like “An ox” or “An axle” or a word that begins with a vowel sound, like “An hour” (the H is silent so it just sounds like ‘our’)
Jeremy was just being funny by using an incorrect word for the sentence he was saying
this is just 7 and three quarter minutes of ashes sledging and i love it.
I like all the tog gears from all the countries. They are all interesting in their own way.
To answer your question James Stinson,it has a Jaguar XJ220 engine which has around 500hp against a holden commodore which has 350 hp
could someone explain the whole Nigel and Bruce thing?
Finding Nemo
Stereotypical names for uk and aus males in their opinion

“That’s not a van. Did you see the look on Nigel’s face when it took off?”

"It even managed to beat you while carrying an engine in the back"
Edd China made the "double cars".
Really?. Thanks for sharing
Even with the best script, Top Gear wouldn’t have been that entertaining without Jeremy, James and Richard
"I'll prove to you that it is AN van"
I want BBC to do ashes again with three TopGear shows from UK,Aussies and USA.it will be heroic brutally challenge
3:56 why would James be banging to Richard to go faster or slower when James is the one with the accelerator and brake?
James is telling Hammond to bang to James
I thought that too but Hammond said "Well, what if you bang for faster twice? That's like slower"
And James said "I'll leave a pause"
Maybe Hammond just meant 'You' in the general meaning of anyone, and James said "Well, leave a pause"
Shane Fell - Maybe How fast to ease into the corner? Now im not sure....
5:50 Are you doing the "Multi 2-1" ?
New Top Gear VS The Grand Tour (make it happen)
