"Jeremy, we are in one of our colonies"
What a one of the most pure British thing that I ever heard 😂
Never a truer statement has been made. 😆😆
I must have missed something in history class. When was Utah a British colony?
The fuck they are
@@peterboczan2116except it’s entirely false we kicked the British teeth in long before we concurred the west. 13 states where British colonies and they where all on the east coast.
You know that you're running with the big fogs when everywhere you look you see "In Memory Of."
A lot of these cars represent more than one generation of hot rodders, some of them have been running out there for 30,40, or 50 years.
For not having experience at Bonneville with a supercharged engine, Jeremy Clarkson did exceptionally well. Congrats on a great run sir.
200 is terrifying on that. It's terrifying on pavement, but that salt is only "Flat" from the air. The vibration is so bad, you can't really see.
Speed Demon this week went 475 with piston power. Yeah baby. 🇺🇸
A prototype moved by a 1990s Supra engine block did around 425kph
@@DanArnets1492 Yessir
You that dude with no teeth
@@DanArnets1492 that's only 264 tho, barely fast for its engine class
It still amazes me when people think going fast at Bonneville is easy. The lack of traction, density of altitude easily above 5500 feet over sea level, 7 to 10 mile cross winds and this year smoke. Jeremy should try an open motorcycle at speed with wind trying to rip your head off....never mind I saw Jeremy on a moped in Vietnam 🇻🇳 😁😁
He gets paid to air his contempt for things not understood. Clarkson can be so entertaining but he is clearly a magnificent asshole.
"He's too vast to enter the cockpit"
The classiest fat joke Ive ever or will ever hear
I really do know a guy who has a P-51 Mustang & how he gets into that cockpit at his size is amazing. P-51 is awesome too.
“215 is about the limit for a petrol engine” the Poteet and Main Speed Demon can do over twice that
This is from over 22 years ago, ofc everything moved forward
@@TheLastCrankers I didn’t know this came out before the demon even existed
Speed Demon runs on menthol
@@markjohnson8448 an ICE is an ICE

The legend that is Jeremy Clarkson...
Not.
For Clarkson to reach 17,500 MPH you would need to send him into space. Now there's an idea.
Best idea ever!
No wonder Jeremy is always screaming speed and powah…
This series is literally called "Speed."
0:58 Jeremy with the drip 🥶
He had to do a lot more than that. There are rookie runs at limited speed as you build up to that run and license.
Me and my dad were good friends with Mike and his son
I really enjoyed watching this brilliant video thank you
I like watching this each year.
I always try to keep my speed down at manageable safe levels, whenever I hop on my bicycle I say to myself keep it under a hundred miles an hour
Beware of speed wobble.
@@jgilbert31544 Yes, believe it or not, that stuff really happens.
its the 200mph club? "yes but you have to do 250mph for that" ..... hahahaha americans
I go almost every year in my big rig, and yes they race those things out there too
215 the limit for ICE engines, eh?
He was to return 7 years later with the Hamster and Captain Slow for the muscle car challenge.
I hope you back again Jerry and find 4 th gear !!😎🍻
I'll probably the only one to comment of the Paul Weller song - but nice choice!
Yet his every word was making fun of the car and team. You can't see the beauty of a 32 Ford flats car?
That's basically Clarkson's brand: irreverent and oafish. You love it or you don't.
beautiful
Calling B.S. With a rookie run and a license runs starting at 125mph (need to run between 125-149mph) then a new class license for every 25mph. It would take a minimum of 5 runs to be able to go over 200mph. So this is a nice fiction puff piece.
I wonder if clarkson ever saw freiburger whilst at the flats
It was 20 years ago.
Great stuff .
'Turning money into noise' - the USA today.
'Geräuschvolles Abschnurren des Lebensrestes' - der alte Thomas Mann im Tagebuch der letzten beiden Lebensjahre - 'wenn herausragende Einzelne sich anschicken von der Weltbühne abzutreten, dann ist das schon einmal so'. Eine kluge Selbstbemerkung von Herrn Thomas Mann er hatte Selbsteinsicht.
Nachbemerung: Und wenn Europa weiterleben möchte, dann muss es sich anderen Bündnispartnern und gesunder, neuer Zukunft rechtzeitig zuwenden, falls die USA nun wirklich untergehen? Das ist eben so. Bereits der Gedankengang ist nützlich, richtig und hilfreich.
... Eine Lektion aus der deutschen Geschichte übrigens auch - richtigerweise wollte das deutsche Volk an der totalen Niederlage der Nazis nie teilhaben. Wie wohl Herr Hitler es dazu zwingen wollte, alles dafür tat, sogar 'deception am eigenen Volk'.
Am (mit fast allen Mitteln geübten) Zwang, am Untergang teilzuhaben, erkennt man das Faschistoide und Verbrecherische - auch
Again! AGAIN! PLEASE!
He went as fast as mater in cars on the road
wtf he has the old stigs helmet with sponsors
That's the Monopoly car piece made real.
In memory of Doug Cook right after somebody got literally cooked
How about getting into a top fuel dragster so you can go over 300 mph in less than four seconds???
They are unsafe for speed records, since they can only hold that power for the length of the drag strip, then they blow up, making it very hard to regain control afterwards. These are for stable high power applications.
The burly guy with the moustache is Mike Cook (I think). Think Doug "Cookie" Cook of Stone, Woods, and Cook.
Really a name from my youth, thanks for pointing that out
Phoenix truck at 1:35
They could have the ambulance run behind every driver. Why wait for an emergency?
Its in Amerika
@@ajaxamsterdam3994 Oh k.
They let the ham-mond do the insane shit, because clarkson is too valuable.
Maybe he's not the only one in the world, but there's certainly only a handful of true car analysts in the world. Because you need to be true men for that.
yeah i rather be the one in a pickup pushing and pulling people to there death then me die.🤣
We lucky Hammond didn’t come
this is like gridmap in real life
200MPH is like getting slapped in the face. With a steak!! 😢
Obviously very old video. Heck Captain Slow has beat 250 MPH now, in a Veyron.
These days people go that fast at Drag Week with street cars!
wow he gained a lot of weight in 3 years
Jeremy wasnt driving that car
1:20 and americans go on about british teeth?😀
OMG He's so skinny!
Whining
Pog
Stick man Lad absolutely not
You suck
Very pog
piss champ no
@@oocabuca6262 pain.😔
I would love to enjoy this. Bonneville and El Mirage are near and dear to me. But Clarkson's Euro-trash contempt for us, and the U.S., are too much.
Clarkson sucks. Never could stand his arrogant British ass.
Lake gairdner is way better
But it's not easily accessible.
