Imagine thinking you found a free parking space but a Peel P50 was in it
Pick it up
The way I imagine people feel when they find my motorcycle in that spot they saw
@@jseden or when they see a mini cooper parked so far back they try to park there but almost crush a mini cooper
Just Cody yep. I always park my bike far enough into the spot for someone to see it but not far enough that anyone would try to squeeze in with it.
Scooters win when it comes to city parking though.. bike racks, sidewalks, next to the front door, ECT. It's pretty much all fair game. I keep one just for this reason.. never have to look for a spot in the city

It was a not-so-subtle dig at all the l efty mumbo jumbo the BBC is fixated on.
That entire meeting was just a bunch of five-quid buzzwords randomly strung together. ChatGPT could've made a more convincing meeting script, and it wasn't even invented yet.
That meeting sounded like something Sir Humphrey would say.
@@WackoMcGoose I think you missed the entire joke there bud
So I know the meeting was staged for tv, but everyone sitting on the same side of the table was more awkward than the car being there
They were all not touching the guardian newspapers they were given
It was the BBC's last supper
Your pfp fits perfectly to this comment:)
the topics discussed on this meeting were the joke all these years ago and now people would take it seriously...
W1A before it was a programme.
Clarkson: Who's stolen the car?
Boss: *maniacal laughter*
It wasn’t his boss it was a pretty famous news reader.
@@user-ns3vs3bp3e He was having so much fun with it too.
The boss of Radio 4 current affairs programmes maybe, or was :)
7:04 which department is this? The department of the extremely good looking employeed people 😊 unlike me 😥😭
Boss put the car in his pocket and walked away.
This was aired in Series 10, episode 3 in October 2007 - I can't believe this is so old. Doesn't feel like 16 years when this first aired. A very different Top Gear, a very different BBC and in many ways 2007 was a better world than 2023.
Tell me about it - except for the soggy summer, it was better for me too. (I was eight, FWIW.)
@@WedgePee I was 22 in 2007 and I loved it. Felt like a fresh modern world. Ever since the tories came into office in 2010 it has been utter hell.
I know the new guys are rubbish and unwatchable.

And 1997 was just 10 years old
5:24. That shot of Jeremy waiting quietly outside the elevator must be my favourite image from the Clarkson years.
This looks EXACTLY like Mr Incredible in his little blue car.

I mean I was young and the things they talked about were just too out of my range as a kid to comprehend or understand so I always used to skip the channel but yea now that I'm older I understand Clarksons jokes and their banter I don't regret not watching it but watching these videos on TH-cam shows what a gem this TV show was back then.
I'm surprised these weren't mass produced, kids and young adults would have a ball or pranked. I want one just for a laugh at work
if they had gone the route King Midget automobiles did there would have been a lot more of them.
You can buy one it’s not a original but it’s essentially the same thing except it’s made by a different company and it can be sold as a kit or a complete car and there is 3 different models to choose from if I remember correctly (also they are street legal somehow)
@@rhinofire067 would the different model still 50cc engine? Or battery? Or hybrid (if such technology exist for something this small)
seems almost as if an actual moped would have been more convenient.. and at the time it really wasn't seen as some novelty I have to think
completely impractical for everyday use, but it is an amazing car
imagine the peel P50 actually appeared on the news broadcast
what a cameo!
Jeremy causing absolute chaos across the BBC here is one of the funniest things I've watched in my entire life
the real reason the original topgear was stopped is because Jeremy's gotten lost in the building.

I’d have been too impressed to be disappointed lol
I see it as being provided a chair.
Woth no reverse gear
6:22 "This is the most complicated building in the world"
That's by design. Television broadcast stations intentionally design their buildings to have extremely convoluted and unintuitive floor plans, so that it increases the difficulty of a potential broadcast hijacking by terrorists or other criminal groups and delays them if they do attempt it.
Tell that to the television studio in Detroit become human
I am very surprised everyone did their entire best to not be reacting during the set of P50 Peel at BBC News
They couldn't hold back the tears of laughing during the making of the film :D

Yep, same as my car. That's why I know how to drive safely. In fact all cars should be like this, that way there'd be far fewer accidents.
But think about it this way, if everyone drove these, no one would die in a car crash because no one would go fast enough for any fatalities to occur.
Not it the accident is listing
Well.
Safe to say that if you as much as slightly touch anything with this car, you'll be instantly trapped and in need of rescue.
“… is a key responsibility of anyone who uses a photocopier”. The writing on this show was beyond brilliant. Back when the BBC still allowed people to have a sense of humor.

Too tall to fit in a Ford GT but short enough to fit in a Peel P50. That's the ideal height I think.
Correction: in a GT40! Clarkson fits just fine in the GT, with only the door being a difficulty!
As the old saying goes; I can fit into whatever I want.

What you don't know is that because this P50 is painted TARDIS Blue, it's actually bigger on the inside
make this thing electric and people will buy it in 2019
The crazy thing is it's probably true
It is now! You can buy it either with an electric motor or moped engine.
@@gecko_gaming2168 why not get a extended version were you can have a bigger eletric engine, or a bigger engine.
I would.
Actually there is already an electric version
As time had moved on im amazed that they allowed the level of rough handling to this original car, I guess the show did provide some significant increase in value but picking up the car with Jeremy inside using the handle, crazy! The recent video I saw of the one at the iom didnt even want to use the handle at the back to move the car empty in case it broke. Funny but brilliant

Producing things in America is expensive because business' have to pay 1.Accident insurance 2.Insane lawsuits 3.Environmental fines no one's even heard of 4.Health insurance for employees 5.Non injury-safety violation fines that would make you cry/laugh 6.Higher utilities 7.Wages that are higher than other countries. 8.And.... cost of goods sold expenses. The country is legislated into costs and expenses that are making it impossible to manufacture or work here competitively in order to bankrupt the country into BEGGING to join an international government that can make things "fair." It's like running jobs out of the country like bison off a cliff and then gathering in all the bits.
Max Fuller Going to work once a week? Now that's something i've never heard of. I'm from Poland, and from my experience, it's actually pretty opposite.

I'm not implying Americans are lazy, but don't go all "Yourop be so lazy".

Eve though it is tiny, it would actually be handy for a someone who is smaller, fit and a bit flexible. It is small enough for any parking space and besides the fact it’s back pain inducing, it’s fine.
Someone should create an electrical version of this cutie. Running on power tools' batteries (Makita, DeWalt, Parkside… whichever is willing to cooperate)
I feel like you could make a modern micro car that would actually be extremely successful. Something that's maybe just a bit bigger than this, electric, 0-60 in 8 seconds, sturdier and safer, MSRP of like 7k.
It's the Dacia Sandero.
Has to be electric, otherwise people would try to drive them indoors like the video and get CO poisoning
Emphasis on safety. I would want an uncrushable roll cage, and safest possible air bags/harness for the whiplash . Youd still get squished in between a car and a wall, but its a car to drive defensively in, obviously.

My guess... Increase in _demand_ courtesy of Top Gear (this episode) and other appearances. I'd consider this more of a vanity item anyway. For $1k~3k you can get a decent moped, which I find a bit more practical (though, less charming), than this car.
Even so, if you got a moped for less than $3000, you could probably spend a bit extra money and some quality time in the garage, rebuilding it into a small car of your own shape and size and STILL get away with it cheaper.
+Daniel Renard you can get one online from a factory for 10 grand
