I love that too, a problem occured and his first reaction was grabbing at the wheel to regain control. Never mind that he was already holding the wheel that was no longer attached to the steering
I love how they just roll up in them like ‘yeah I made this’ when in reality, the engineering and mechanical expertise required to make all three was probably incredibly complex and time consuming
Yeah I chuckle in their specials when u know for definite they got mechanics from the crew to help sometimes the whole crew helping make a ramp then they cut to it finished and Jeremy saying "after minor struggle the 3 of us have finished the ramp". 🤣
Well, they do show the crew a fair bit in this segment. And frankly it's not _that_ complicated, the suspension and the other complex parts stay with the back when it's cut off and what's in between is mostly sheet metal. Except on James's... _thing._

I absolutely love the faces on James May's workers: the one in the maroon checkered shirt thinking "this is just wrong" and the one in the navy blue shirt thinking "what the hell is he on about???" XDDD
May rolling up in that crabbing double ending limo with the Knightrider Theme playing is hands down one of my favourite Top Gear moments... Pure comedy
I remember watching this on a Sunday evening as a kid, after a bath and before bed for school on Monday. I absolutely screamed when I saw Clarksons limo, the whole family were in tears even my mum who’s doesn’t know anything about cars, my brother who was more into football and my dad who didn’t like Clarkson at all. This show was so good back in the day, pure good time nostalgia.
Man I miss Top Gear.... So inventive and entertaining. You look at the highlights from the USA one and it's "Lamborghini drag race", or "Porsche drag race!", or maybe if you really want a laugh... "Ferrari drag race"...
I forgot about that challenge and it was so funny. Jeremy always does the most ridiculous things and I love it when things go wrong. Do you remember the disabled scooter challenge. I loved that too.
tracey cross I do. It was hilarous. Richard would've actually won that if he didn't have to go back to rescue the other two. James's was nice too, but it was a nice wheelchair, not a nice off-road scooter.
I keep thinking of James's wheelchair and I can't stop laughing. Jeremy's was so funny when it rolled down the hill. They did think they were off road vehicles. Lol! Going to kiss them so much.
I feel like these three are the exact reason why we put warning labels on EVERYTHING. If it isn't Jeremy's three-story RV or Hammond's track record with supercars, it's James May taking the front ends of two cars to make a limo
Why did you cut so much out?!? All the really funny bits are missing! Clarkson and Hammond arguing about what car May got, Hammond almost cutting his car in the wrong place, Hammond removing the parts from the underside of his car to stretch, May's comment regarding Clarkson's passenger entry and exit system, Hammond's communication setup, Clarkson and May playing sports in Hammond's limo, and Hammond and Clarkson unlocking the steering in the back of May's limo and subsequently breaking the steering wheel. There may be more, but that's what I can recall of the top of my head years after watching the episode.
7:39 - For your interest, the fire engine used in the "Evasive driving part 2" challenge is a 1966 Thornycroft Nubian Major 6x6. Here is another photo of the same truck: www.fire-engine-photos.com/picture/number37423
The different time and climate zones in Jeremys car make it difficult to plan. While it is time to go to bed at the back, morning is dawning in the driver's zone. Communication might also be difficult. At the moment when Jeremy sees the guest lighting a cigarette, it already has turned to ashes, cause light from the back needs three minutes to reach Jeremy. But because of the Earth curvature he can't see what happens back there anyway.
The Fiat Panda, MG F, Saab 9000 and Alfa Romeo 164 were all part of my childhood. I used to see loads of them when I was growing up. I know James's idea of combining 2 cars together was strange, but, amazingly, he actually had the best idea when it came to making limousines.
3:44 that car driving at an angle, with that music and James May at the wheel is my favourite top gear moment.
Derpyderp yaaa awesome. can you tell me the song in this scenario?
@@thomasrabe1469 Knight Rider theme
No idea why they used the Knight rider theme, but it's cool
@@The12thDimension. because kit was the pinnacle of car back then.
only fitting for the salfa rombeaab
@@The12thDimension. It's reminiscent of the Knight Rider into, with KITT driving towards the camera
I've just noticed that on James's limo, the only thing you'll be able to see with the wing mirrors are the other wing mirrors

When you see a picture of an insane car on the internet, there's a 50/50 chance it's a photoshopped picture, or a Top Gear challenge.
Niko Mikkanen this is the best comment I’ve seen in a while
When people think they can do this the best in Photoshop Top Gear- hold my bear
haha good joke
True.
Or Mythbusters
At the front, its a sensible Swedish Saab 9000, and at the front, its a sporty and stylish Alfa Romeo.
Still gets me
As a non-car person I always wonder how many jokes are going completely over my head
@@ENCHANTMEN_ "At the front" and then "and at the front" since May's car has no back end, its two front ends XD
What kind of paint thinner were you sniffing? 😅
@@VorbringAir Perhaps whatever James May was sniffing to come up with that :P
Italian
6:53 he literally reaches for the steering wheel as he’s holding it and i cried cause he didn’t realize it came off for a second
He tried to steer it using the dash. A million different things must've been through his mind at that time
I love that too, a problem occured and his first reaction was grabbing at the wheel to regain control. Never mind that he was already holding the wheel that was no longer attached to the steering
Jeremy: Does It Work?
James: No
Its "Jeremy"
funny comment btw
Hey Teimo! How's the shop holding up?
Well yes but actually no.
T@ eimo
ROBBAZ TEIMO
I lose it every time when i see the steering wheel come off XD
haha yeah
And goddamit I was just eating when watching that part... 😆
Yeah me too. And even more when James is trying to hold on the Dash board 🤣
That music that played as James May made his entry just made everything a whole lot funnier.
hahahahahahahahaaa
I first saw this 7 years ago and I will always remember that exact moment. Never gets old.
MrBannystar where?
*****
on BBC 2 in the U.K
I mean on which second in the video
I love how they just roll up in them like ‘yeah I made this’ when in reality, the engineering and mechanical expertise required to make all three was probably incredibly complex and time consuming
Seeing them fixing cars full of mud, broken down and smoking on the side of the road, will never cease to amaze me!
Edd china contributes
Yeah I chuckle in their specials when u know for definite they got mechanics from the crew to help sometimes the whole crew helping make a ramp then they cut to it finished and Jeremy saying "after minor struggle the 3 of us have finished the ramp". 🤣
@@DwarfDt they’ve fixed that slightly in the grand tour because now they say “and with absolutely no help from the crew/anyone else”
Well, they do show the crew a fair bit in this segment. And frankly it's not _that_ complicated, the suspension and the other complex parts stay with the back when it's cut off and what's in between is mostly sheet metal.
Except on James's... _thing._
3:46 its so funny how the wheels don't even line up well 😂😂
Right?? From Mr. “They actually fit perfectly together.” 💀
"salfa romeaab"
my stomach turned upside down.

lol
You must've Puked by now (It's a joke for all you butt hurt Idiots)
Bxrew nobody's butthurt except you
I love how Jeremy got out of his car with a jack in his hand like he was going to try to change the tire after he ran over the stinger.
Zachary Adams As if he would do it himself: he'd just get an intern to do it for him.
Likes ruined.
144p is the way of the future
Living in the limelight
If it isn't 144p is not good
it was 10 years ago tho
Just gonna like for the rush profile pic
All bow down to the mighty 144p...
As I've grown older I've come to appreciate James' limo more. If you had one, you'd never have to reverse out of a parking space again.
7:45 watching James just smash into the Ford in front of him after saying “watch this” and the other two losing it always gets me
When he turned on the wiper and it squeaked. I absolutely died.
Gabriel Benitez same
I got a bigger laugh out of that wiper than I ever did from New Top Gear!
"The wedding vegetables"
Haha was just about to sa y that

Hanif Purbaya Number of episode?
Did Jeremy choose the Fiat solely to make that Giant Panda joke? Brilliant hahaha
I just realized James' Limo was the CatDog of cars.
Clarkson made a bus....
Bob has 3 letters,the illuminati has 3 sides
Bob = illuminati confirmed
Mr_Yolo awesome Wow. AND you are correct...
...with the turning radius of a small moon!
Its so cool.. clarkson is a funny funny man lol
You mean he made a train
When Jeremy drove by in the finished product, it felt like the opening scene of Spaceballs.
That's brilliant 😂
Should have had a bumper sticker reading "we brake for nobody"
“What kind of paint thinner were you sniffing when you thought of this?” 😂😂😂😂 really made me crack, hilarious line
These old episodes of top gear will never be topped 😂😂 I love this so much and I have never laughed harder at top gear
You know the video is great when you can count the pixels on your hand
"Salfa Romeaab"...

May: "The rules said hits on the car, not hits on the 'wedding vegetables'" hahaha
In fact the rules did not specify hits on the car.
i love the fact that when james shows his car its the german luftwaffe march in the background 0:12
I absolutely love the faces on James May's workers: the one in the maroon checkered shirt thinking "this is just wrong" and the one in the navy blue shirt thinking "what the hell is he on about???" XDDD
Seriously every time james says “watch this” it ends with an accident😂
Wedding vegetables lol 7:22
I first watched this when I was 7 or 8. Couldn’t stop laughing. Now I actually get the joke it’s so much funnier 😂
2:36 when you have to go to a car meet but your build is 50% done lol
3:04 Jeremy arrives in he's monstrosity of a Panda.
Richard Hammond: "Oh. My *chuckles* God..."
440P; OK.
360: Bordering unwatchable.
144P: You're having a joke.
I'd rather not.
It looks perfect for a phone though
Fair point
+aftershock2013 You are lucky, this is good for me beacause I can only watch in 144p maybe even 240p if I am lucky because of internet
+aftershock2013 its really not acceptable of the BBC. I get it was uploaded in 2008 but come on BBC!
Massive red limo just makes me picture a double decker with its top deck taken off and fixed to the back end of the bottom bit. Still hilarious
LOL I agree

11 million views at 144p perfectly illustrates the brilliance of og top gear
Just saw this on Dutch TV. Tears in my eyes, pain in my stomach..... love it! What a laugh!!! The water canon! The steering wheel! LOL! Love them!
Man I miss Top Gear.... So inventive and entertaining. You look at the highlights from the USA one and it's "Lamborghini drag race", or "Porsche drag race!", or maybe if you really want a laugh... "Ferrari drag race"...
The new one makes USA look like this
James Cree
USA and new ones are about cars, the old top gear was about the trio
This has to be the best top gear challenge episode ever
I love this and the campervan challenge. Gonna miss Jeremy. Top gear will never be the same again.
tracey cross Don't forget the amphibious car challenge!
I forgot about that challenge and it was so funny. Jeremy always does the most ridiculous things and I love it when things go wrong. Do you remember the disabled scooter challenge. I loved that too.

Glorious 144p
2008 vid
The episode is old
+Tony Montana but the episode was not recorded in 144p
+Patrick Keating That's what bugs me... Many other videos from the time were in 360p at least, and the EP was recorded in 480p.
many memories......, it lived better with 144p.
James is a legend. "you aimed at my gentlemans area, that was chuffing agony!"
"The rules said 'hits on the car', not 'hits on the wedding vegetable'!"
3:44 The KnightRider theme, LMAO! And for a second there, I thought it had DeLorean doors on it!
1:52 the second guy has my exact reaction
I lost it when the steering wheel came off 😂
Jeremy: “I just hope that was the end of the evasive driving stuff”
James: “evasive driving part 2”
Eric Edwards 😂😂
Jeremy's date with the fire hose = priceless, Hammond getting hit with the paintball's = Priceless, James stering wheel coming of = priceless
They're all priceless.
1:52 . The engineers face creases me laughing every time!
That Salfa Romeaab still cracks me up every time 🤣🤣🤣
2:47 the bonnet lifting kills me for some reason
3:09 Jeremy's limo is so long, it's been designated a Royal Mail Ship!
"Watch this"

Still one of the funniest moments ever

Like a GTA character
How is Jezza driving half of a car when the fuel tank was in the back? a jerry can on the seat that feeds fuel to the engine?

So you watch the episode
I just realized when May's car is first introduced, the Luftwaffe March from the Battle of Britain just randomly plays lol.
9:15 May: "oh there's some smoke coming out of it." Hammond: "doesn't that break your heart?" LOL!
+Benjamin Turlik Hahaha, love that.
I love how fitting the music was with the panda showing up

"No."
It's those horrified looks on the faces of those guys in the garage when they see May's plans that kills me 1:50
Absolutely lost it when James May drove out to the Knight Rider theme 😂
If Smart made a limousine it would be called Smart fortwenty
i think they are the perfect combo of people for the show. thats why its such a hit. i love this show. even way back when jeremy had a perm. lol
I agree.
“What kind of paint thinner were you sniffing when you thought of this??”
Classic
The Panda's entrance was one of the greatest things ever
LOL hes trying to fix the flat while getting sprayed XD
At 3:15, it looks like one of those old looney tunes cartoons with the obnoxiously long limo a gangster rides in.
Salfa Romeab. LOL
A Giant RED Panda. The cutest and biggest animal ever.
As much as I like James May, in the beginning of this episode he was exactly like one of my bosses. The mechanic's reacts being like my own at work.
did... did he say WEDDING VEGETABLES???
Yes. Yes he did.

Me: Can we have a limo
Mum: We have limo at home
Limo at home:
Jeremy´s limo is eldritch/looks like a plane without wings.
James´s limo looks like two bugs mating.
Richard´s limo looks like a shoe.
‘I just hope, that’s the end of the evasive driving stuff’
‘Evasive driving... Part 2’

I like James' Push-Me-Pull-You car the best, though Jeremy's hilariously long Panda is great, too.

The Fiat Panda, MG F, Saab 9000 and Alfa Romeo 164 were all part of my childhood. I used to see loads of them when I was growing up. I know James's idea of combining 2 cars together was strange, but, amazingly, he actually had the best idea when it came to making limousines.
