OK, I can completely understand the hate for the Chris Evans segments. I hate them too. But this? Now you're just being idiotic. This segment was very good.
That beginning just makes my heart swell with pride and joy for us on this little rock, even a little teary eyed. Just one more cool thing we've done with our beautiful machines and determination, RIP Norman you legend
Usually i just type "rip top gear"... but Is this the new host for top gear? i never bothered watching more than half the first episode on the new series. This guy is great and does not pretend to be Jeremy Clarksson.
dezent He's one of the new hosts for Top Gear, yes. But for the new series of Top Gear coming up next year, Matt Leblanc and Chris Harris are going to be the 'main' presenters.
Rory Reid does a great job here, the car is outstanding and to give full respect to the amazing Norman Dewis was a special touch. IMO the best new Top Gear item by far.
coming from a grand tour fan, this is a such a good review! why is it so hard for most people to enjoy multiple shows at once? if its good content and bringing a car enthusiast good information, then there's no need to bash a show just because it doesn't have our favorite presenters presenting it.
Great review. I see idiots still can't get over the fact that this isn't old Top Gear anymore. Yes it's a shame but this is still a good review nonetheless. I see no point in bashing a good guy and disliking the video just because.
NikoBell12 they will never do it, just the top gear name is worth billions. I think in a few years they will find good hosts. I also am a bit disappointed bu THE GRAND TOUR. Too americanized
I can't imagine how tough this would be in a time without road lights, freeways sitting in a 2 seat, rwd killing machine without comfort. The man was averaging 68mph for christ sake, on shitty roads without esp in complete darkness!
The reason he's a good presenter is because like Chris, He had his own car show on youtube . So we know he's not faking or trying to be something he's not
great video. nice production, nice host and a bit of car history wich i always like. just one question, if he arrived just minutes before the prasentation and after 13 hours on the road, how is that the car looks pristine?
And it would have been a lot more special if the car had been left dirty... But thats the 21st century in a nutshell...fake and soulless. Besides a "real sports car" doesnt have awd and an automatic, its rwd and manual...
I can really relate to this, I once had to do something similar, whilst working for the same company. I was tasked with driving a prototype, loaded with it's test equipment from Gaydon, all the way to the test facility in Barcelona, a distance of over 1000 Miles overnight. I was helped by another who came with me so we could at least swap drivers, but we went non-stop, neither of us slept, and we made the drive in something like 17.5 hours. I know the weight of responsibility Rory must've had on this drive. Massive respect to him.
singhajs it's a car show, not a comedy show. Only Clarkson, Hammond, and May can successfully mix a car show and a comedy show, and they're not a part of Top Gear anymore, so we just have to accept the fact that Top Gear is no longer going to be the funniest show in the world...
"it's a car show, not a comedy show. Only Clarkson, Hammond, and May can successfully mix a car show and a comedy show, and they're not a part of Top Gear anymore," "This was actually pretty good. Just because it's Top Gear without Clarkson, Hammond, and May doesn't mean it's a bad car show..." (2 contradicting statements)
yeah it may be a little cinematic, but this one of the greatest drives I've ever watched, the words of Norman was very moving... hats-off to Rory & TopGear... 👍👍👍
i hate that in all of these races, it always comes down to the wire. I'm not saying this particular video is faked, but i don't believe they all are real. That aside: I like this guy. Seems to have a good relationship with the camera, and he keeps his eyes more on the road than most car show people. Filming or not: it's a real world out there, with real other motorists aso. TBH i haven't watched more than two or perhaps three episodes of the new season of TopGear. They sucked so much i gave up. This guy gives me hope there might be someone in the TopGear crew that hires people who can make a car show.
This is definitely a well-produced commercial. I like how the car arrives ten minutes to show time but all of a sudden it is all polished and buffed. Lovely cinematography all the same.
Vegito Just because you put a CTS-V bodykit and rims on your Prius, it doesn't make it the real deal. Get back in your Prius and get outta here, TGT fanboy.
He had a massive advantage as he took the train to France which takes approximately 37 minutes the ferry takes around 1h 45 minutes on a good day and back then it would have been longer
Just to make a point, this is Jaguar at a one of the biggest motor shows. They would have had a team of people to give the car a once over and could have easily got a brand new car show room ready in 5 mins flat. They never said he drove straight onto the show room floor. The point was to recreate the legendary trip and get there in enough time for the show, which they did. Whether 20 mins early, 10 mins late doesn’t matter, long as it made the show. Really liked the way the told the story of the driver and bringing his amazing life to the world while showing off two of the best looking cars ever made.
And I'm probably the only one here who has driven from Geneva back to Manchester in one stretch on only 2 hours of sleep the night before. In a Saab 93. Last year.
Top Gear with Chris Harris, Tiff Needell, Rory Reid and Jason Plato. Make it happen BBC and give them room to review and drive the cars. Then you got the best car show.
***** the whole humor is made for a american audience. The old grand tour was a car show with british humor. And yes, the old top gear was scripted but grand tour is even more scripted and with bad scripts. If you like it, fine, i don't have a problem with that.
MisterFO Prod. reviews by May are great, Clarkson okay but Hammond is awful, he just acts stupid. He can do good reviews, but just hasn't bothered at all. Also, there is such a thing as too staged, and this is it.
1960 policeman: oh you are the chief test driver for jaguar and this is the newest prototype...we ll close our eyes on it. 2017 policeman that will be 4500£, a.d we will confiscate your car and license.
Modern police are assholes and speed limits are specifically designed as a source of income. Which is why they are about 50% slower than a "safe speed" in most cases
Man, the amount of falseness in this video is beyond belief. First off he's acting as if it's such a difficult thing driving a 21st century luxury GT cruiser for 13 hours through the night. And than when he suddenly shows up at the show just right on time with the car "sparkling clean" after a 13 hour drive through multiple roads and countries...that was it! So much staged lol
you can't deny Top Gear has fantastic camerawork
Yes, I still don't know how he left Top Gear
Too bad they don't have fantastic presenters anymore
@@007Spadge true
That is why I still watch Top Gear.
Except when it comes to animals
R.I.P. Norman Dewis 3 August 1920 - 8 June 2019, the passing of a motoring legend 😢
Noooooo

20 days before my birthday 😭😭😭

Ha I got a grand tour ad on this
love grand tour . drive my aston rapide !cross the Europe is my dream
OK, I can completely understand the hate for the Chris Evans segments. I hate them too. But this? Now you're just being idiotic. This segment was very good.
Uzair Syed the car looks very clean for a 1500 mile trip...
Videography is good. Host(s) ( including this guy ) are nowhere near as charismatic as the old trio.
When the current trio are filming apart, they’re pretty good. But when they’re filming together, ehhhhhhh....
This was good can’t lie
@@eriktenhag2022 Poor Norman DewIs what Shame he Unfortunatly Now Gone what Great Talent
Yall need to chill. Sure this segment felt a tad scripted but the presenter did a good job. He felt natural for 90% of the segment.
I don't understand the scripted criticism, it's television. Everything has a script.
Even the old Top Gear was scripted. People think things like this was just off their heads!
That beginning just makes my heart swell with pride and joy for us on this little rock, even a little teary eyed. Just one more cool thing we've done with our beautiful machines and determination, RIP Norman you legend
this was the only time when i really enjoyed new Top Gear
No, I think this is pretty good too.
he just said that
Sorry, I read that as "Am I the only one who enjoyed this" lol
Usually i just type "rip top gear"... but
Is this the new host for top gear? i never bothered watching more than half the first episode on the new series.
This guy is great and does not pretend to be Jeremy Clarksson.
dezent He's one of the new hosts for Top Gear, yes. But for the new series of Top Gear coming up next year, Matt Leblanc and Chris Harris are going to be the 'main' presenters.
That is to bad.. Mat looks like he is about to fall asleep all the time and lack the energy.
dezent This guy (Rory Reid) is still going to be in top gear but he won't be a main presenter like Matt and Chris I don't think.
dezent you are right
dezent but he makes it to Geneva, you could only imagine how Norman Dewis back in the day, was feeling during his journey to Geneva
I am watching this only for Jaguar f type
same
Sad. You missed a great video then.
Ahmed Saeed me to
Arjun Bhat he didn't say he didn't watch the video…
Glad I own one !!!! A legend in the making ☺️
Rory Reid does a great job here, the car is outstanding and to give full respect to the amazing Norman Dewis was a special touch. IMO the best new Top Gear item by far.

Jazz
Most of the people who hate Top Gear have no interests in cars and drives a Prius, that's why.
This kid is actually pretty decent. I think he can do great things
Lol.
Great review. I see idiots still can't get over the fact that this isn't old Top Gear anymore. Yes it's a shame but this is still a good review nonetheless. I see no point in bashing a good guy and disliking the video just because.
fanboys
It's by far no review, but it's a cool video.
this would be a great show if it wasn't called top gear.
Pinhead Larry
I agree, they do need to change the name.
NikoBell12 they will never do it, just the top gear name is worth billions. I think in a few years they will find good hosts. I also am a bit disappointed bu THE GRAND TOUR. Too americanized
If the trio was still here. That f-type would have hit a curb or something because Richard Hammond
I can't imagine how tough this would be in a time without road lights, freeways sitting in a 2 seat, rwd killing machine without comfort. The man was averaging 68mph for christ sake, on shitty roads without esp in complete darkness!
"Tried so hard but achieved nothing" -Clarkson
DroidTech Chris said that?! now I'm definitely on Jeremy's side
The reason he's a good presenter is because like Chris, He had his own car show on youtube . So we know he's not faking or trying to be something he's not
He's bloody awful. No wonder top gears viewings have absolutely crashed.
great video.
nice production, nice host and a bit of car history wich i always like. just one question, if he arrived just minutes before the prasentation and after 13 hours on the road, how is that the car looks pristine?
Dumy Jobby TV magic
Its called TV my friend, just play along
Guys, anyone seen that AMAZING new car show on Amazon Prime? What was it called... like, 'Grand Tour' or something?...
it sucks
frankenstein01 you butthurt chris evans?
Michael McGrath what
frankenstein01 what sucks is ur mom.
tbh gt ain't as good as top gear used to be and top gear isn't top gear anymore...
I got a Grand Tour advert before watching this
These videos just aren't authentic. They are filmed beautifully, but still leave you cold. TopGear needs to reinvent themselves
TheGetawayer
They've already did. Watch all 6 episodes entirely, then you'll see.
Such a shame that they let Rory go, his videos were always great
This guy properly review the car, with his own style. Give him a chance guys
Is this not the similar take of what Jeremy Clarkson did in Jaguar to race the sun ?
Gave him a chance and he's awful.
Rory and Chris are the only watchable presenters on New Top Gear.
so scripted...the car was bloody clean from any spots...if he truly came in the last min there would have been some dirt...its obvious tho
Chris S Yup. It would have been covered in dead bugs too as it drive through the country side.
They could have cleaned it before presenting it you know. They have sprays for that.
Simple quick wash and dry...even more so if its been coated/clear wrapped.
And it would have been a lot more special if the car had been left dirty...
But thats the 21st century in a nutshell...fake and soulless.
Besides a "real sports car" doesnt have awd and an automatic, its rwd and manual...
Chris S Still less obviously scripted than The Grand tour. I enjoyed the grand tour but the level of scriptedness was painful!
this is a great video. this is the kind of thing people want in the next series of top gear. well done rorey!
This aged badly. Top Gear might as well jump in a coffin at this point. The viewings are right down.
RiP Norman Dewis,.......The loss of a legend!, we don't build them like that anymore!
I can really relate to this, I once had to do something similar, whilst working for the same company.

Guys, chill. This was actually pretty good. Just because it's Top Gear without Clarkson, Hammond, and May doesn't mean it's a bad car show...
sigilwig444 nope. just nope. I know the Grand Tour is not that good, but TopGear nowadays is nowhere near the quality of TopGear of yesteryears.
sigilwig444 yes it is...look at this guy, he is too flat. No adventure
singhajs it's a car show, not a comedy show. Only Clarkson, Hammond, and May can successfully mix a car show and a comedy show, and they're not a part of Top Gear anymore, so we just have to accept the fact that Top Gear is no longer going to be the funniest show in the world...
this new shit is cancer

This is probably one of the best videos I've ever seen!!
Top Gear´s film and production team is still the best
yeah it may be a little cinematic, but this one of the greatest drives I've ever watched, the words of Norman was very moving... hats-off to Rory & TopGear... 👍👍👍

crazy how it pulled in from a road trip completely clean and polished...
equals3forum scripted, just like the grand tour
With 10 or more car wash guys waiting on the scene, it'll be cleaned in less than a minute. You don't need to polished it, it's brand new
I always hoped this story would be told properly sometime. One of my favourites ❤️🤩
so much emotion, i cried after watching this legacy journey. Godspeed Jaguar
Hats off to Norman Dewis who would have had little if any modern autoroute for much of the journey. If he travelled overnight how did he fill-up?
This is definitely a well-produced commercial. I like how the car arrives ten minutes to show time but all of a sudden it is all polished and buffed. Lovely cinematography all the same.
its so nice to see such wise men living legends speak about the need to overcome odds such inspiration.
Jaguar is fantastic. I hope they change their mind about giving up to the conventional fuel engines.
100% agree
I remember when top Gear was actually entertaining
Vegito I guess it's not about pointless entertainment anymore. it's actually about cars now, eh?
Lol yea an hour of car facts and opinions is better right lool this top Gear will never be anywhere as near as good as the old one...
Vegito
I remember when there wasn't that many Prius driving TGT fanboys like you.
Lmao.... I drive a cts-v 2013 ahahah and I had to google what TGT even was
Vegito
Just because you put a CTS-V bodykit and rims on your Prius, it doesn't make it the real deal.
Get back in your Prius and get outta here, TGT fanboy.
8:13 was that james may???
Funny how he only had ten minutes but managed to clean the car too.
Obviously it’s all show. Top gear was always scripted
James,Jeremy, Hammond Legends
This video gave me goosebumps!I am in love with Jaguar!
What a legend Norman is, RIP THE LEGEND!
this is very well put together. i dont understand the hate on this video! some people will never get over themselves LOL
Kavinda Weerakoon nice try BBC
vinul g i prefer the grand tour over this, all I am saying is this is still a good video.
Kavinda Weerakoon yeah I was just joking lol
Incredible achievement back in the day, even now.
damn, that was awesome. Beautiful clip. Very touching. And the presentor is pretty great. Rather impressed.
He had a massive advantage as he took the train to France which takes approximately 37 minutes the ferry takes around 1h 45 minutes on a good day and back then it would have been longer
This would make a good show. If it wasnt call Top Gear.
This video encapsulates some of that Top Gear magic we know and love. I miss the boys but this was pretty damn good.
i miss jeremy and james richard who agrees
I personally think it's the most beautiful car .i always shed tears everytime i watch this vid.I want a convertible Jaguar F-Type SVR 😭😭😭😂🙌
Okay. This was emotional 😢😢😢❤️❤️❤️
Scripted but emotional.
Top Gear has always been scripted.
this video it's so great and I'm enjoyed the video nice production
I Love this Video and i wish there Are coming more Videos like this
This isn't old top gear...but this guy is actually pretty good.
Jaguars where real futuristic looking back in the day.
This was actually a pretty good segment. -An OG Top Gear fan
"How did he do this without energy drinks?" Love, he fought in the war - he is one tough cookie
if you dont compare this to old top gear its pretty good.
I never compare post-Clarkson Top Gear to CHM Top Gear. I still watch it.
I just got really excited to see another Top Gear show. Then I realized that the good british car show with great hosts is called The Grand Tour now.
then you watch it and realize it's crap
I watched it and it was crap.
loved this video! great job mate!
I don't want to be rude but, the old top gear was way more fun to watch
Just to make a point, this is Jaguar at a one of the biggest motor shows. They would have had a team of people to give the car a once over and could have easily got a brand new car show room ready in 5 mins flat. They never said he drove straight onto the show room floor.

Keep doing what you're doing Rory, ignore the Clarkson fanboys.
The best representation I’ve ever seen in my whole life , this is the way how top gear does perfectly
Don't come to Coventry without the trio again
Let's not get bogged down with whooooooo came.
Another Brilliant episode love it thanks Rest well Mr Norman Dewis.
how the hell did he arrive just in the nick of time, and deliver a car without a single dead bug in it
Miriel91
Because it was scripted, just like TGT.
you don't say...
Miriel91 then why ask the question, stupid
For me, the Jaguar F-Type is a modern car legend!
To be honest, I'm not happy with either shows. The Grand Tour is overproduced, and this show doesn't have the original crew.
this was one of the best top gear videos
I have met Norman Dewis and what a great guy
If you guys love the F Type SVR, check out the Arden F-Type, its tuned to 703 HP 🔥🔥👌🏽

But why would you do that... Unless you really don't hate Top Gear...
Great seeing this again. Very inspiring piece.
Top Gear really needs the original 3 funny idiots.
HeavyWalk BR no they don't. They started out as a car show, this is a car show with some great talents.
And I'm probably the only one here who has driven from Geneva back to Manchester in one stretch on only 2 hours of sleep the night before. In a Saab 93. Last year.

best review, better than Clarkson at actually reviewing
Top Gear with Chris Harris, Tiff Needell, Rory Reid and Jason Plato. Make it happen BBC and give them room to review and drive the cars. Then you got the best car show.
***** Grand Tour is a comedy show for americans with bad drivers. Not a car show about passion and car technologie
***** yeah sure. I loved the old top gear with clarkson. But because i don't like Grand Tour i am a dumb jew. Try to make sense next time kid.
***** the whole humor is made for a american audience. The old grand tour was a car show with british humor. And yes, the old top gear was scripted but grand tour is even more scripted and with bad scripts. If you like it, fine, i don't have a problem with that.
***** Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
James Bond too bad you can't take any sort of criticism.
Top gear sucks with out Jeremy, James, Richard
I really miss the old days.
go watch grand tour. Jeremy, james and richard did a good job on their first season
MisterFO Prod. Not really. They act they to much. It isn't that bad, but it dosen't come close to the "old" top gear.
Yeah it is scripted but the review and funny moments are great
MisterFO Prod. reviews by May are great, Clarkson okay but Hammond is awful, he just acts stupid. He can do good reviews, but just hasn't bothered at all. Also, there is such a thing as too staged, and this is it.
Nafis Batel me too refer to my comment on the top
This is good. It's not "the" TopGear we know, not by a million miles. But it's entertaining, like any other show about a thing you like.
this is my dream car 😘😘😘
1960 policeman: oh you are the chief test driver for jaguar and this is the newest prototype...we ll close our eyes on it.

Maybe, there are car wash guys already waiting on the scene. With 10 crew it will be cleaned in less than a minute.

Even though you guys lost the three old hosts, you guys have done well with making top gear a very true show about cars love it, keep it going.
only if they didnt name it top gear it wud have still worked well......great presenter though
Where jeremy where Hammond where may
God, it's still on... When are they going to cancel it?

Really enjoyed this video . because of this man !
the Old Top Gear was better

yep now grand tour is better then the new one
Chadical Chad but still a huge disappointment, unless you want all script.
I agree
I once sat in a Jaguar f type SVR on the nurburghring. Behind the steer!!
