  • two points...for be a doctor xD

  • Comment removed

  • think about it this was, a vw Lupo has escaped your engine ahahahahahahhahahahah this is hilarious

  • The problem with these posts by the BBC is that they always edit them and it causes the voices to overlap and the music to be too loud.

  • hammond actually kept the ferrari right??

  • he did

  • The Stig was really ripping the track up in that little blue car.

  • I want them all.

  • hammond rles but the other 2 are way cool 2!

  • that 's misirlou known from tarantino's pulp fiction

  • One thing that no one thinks about is that rolling roads measure wheel and not engine hps

  • norra124 (20 hours ago)

    One thing that no one thinks about is that rolling roads measure wheel and not engine hps.

    Basically you lose up to 20% of an engine's output via thermal inefficiences and transmission losses, you could say a 90 ps engine is only worth about 75ps

  • chooses

  • Im surprised that a modern economy diesel car will smoke these old super cars so badly...

  • tbh, only hammond's car produced more power than that astra :)

  • fire the damn sound guy

    whoever does it obviously doesn't know what the hell they're doing... the music is almost ALWAYS louder than the voices

  • Its only on the Youtube videos though because they have to mix the commentaries around to fit the Youtube time limit. It is much better in the full episodes.

  • hahaha see hamond dancing @ 04:57

  • whats the song that starts at 3:47??

    someone plz help

  • pump it - black eyed beas

  • misirlou from dick dale

  • This sure is Misirlou, not Pump It

  • good one, didnt even make sense, but keep trying champ

  • lol champ? thx ! good good, all is well

  • wtf did he say 80 HP?!

  • yep

  • Why is there ads?

  • Because the guys that own youtube needs cash?

  • "still, could be worse"

    LMAO!

  • 80bhp !!!!!!!!!!! LMFAO - my first car was a shit pot peugot 205 "XS" with a 1.4 litre carb equiped lump and that made 90bhp lol !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • lol who cares? lol i'll rarther have that car than a shitty peugot 205, it's all about style rofl

  • My comment was to put the POWER of the Mazza into perspective not to convince people that a peugot 205 is a good alternative dumb ass.

  • which song is playing at 3:47?

  • I think it's by Black Eyed Peas - Pump It, but it isn't the same I listened to.

  • THE ORIGINAL IS " MISIRLOU"

  • It's called Misirlou by a guy called Dick Dale. It's on Youtube, and in my favorites if you're looking for it. Awesome tune.

  • 2:45 Lol! XD

  • thanks man! The Roots are a great band, and I have to credit top gear for having the best film editing and choice of great music, and not to mention good ol' british humor

  • Nah -- it's "The Seed (2.0)" by The Roots. Off "Phrenology."

  • Does anyone know what's the name of the song at 6:12 when the Lambo gets on the ramp?

  • wha song playing on the back at 4:00? anybody know? reply me.

  • the song name is Pump It recorded by Black Eyed Peas

  • Thanks!

  • I´d dare to say it´s not Pump it, but misirlou from Dick dale as there are no black eyed peas sounding there to destroy such a great song.

  • Next up, its the ferrari, by far the most reliable car here

    OH SHIT THE MIRROR JUST COME OFF

    so much for reliability eh hahaha

  • Alright, ignorant American here; what does it mean to have a badge?

  • The SS edition had more BHP. Since it was just a badge, the expectations for his car were lower.

  • Comment removed

  • Its lucky that hammond wear a helmet before a mirror fall on him lol...

  • 4:57 ahahahahah^^

    Sooo funny the Hamster is! ;D

    I love the Hamster!XD

  • I just don't get the editing in this video. Several times it simply isn't possible to hear what they are saying. Sometime due to the music, once because they had the author talk when someone else was already talking.

    I love top gear, possibly best tv show ever, but the editing is simply poor in this vid.

  • for some reason that sound issue is only in the youtube vids.

  • Thats because the youtube vids are shortened versions of the original episodes.

  • They're not shortened, if you time the originale and compare it to this, you'll get the same.

  • Hmm. I don't get it then. Because at least in the Botswana special there are several things missing.

  • This one isn't shortened, but most others are. This was put up before TG made a habit of using edits for channels other than BBC2. They shorten episodes, thus, most Youtube clips, for all other broadcasts.

  • Actually, I take it back. It was so loud I couldn't even tell there was voice audio underneath.

    Carry on.

  • The music is kinda loud, but y'all are exaggerating... Quit your bellyaching.

  • yea with the music u cant hear them talking

  • lol at 1:00...flying astra

  • Whoever mixed the sound should be taken out and, in the words of Clarkson, "Killed to death!"

  • stupid music !!

  • play 3:34 over and again(:

  • the background music is too loud

  • 3:49 what song is that guys ?

  • its misirlou . thanx for reply :)

  • pulp fiction soundtrack.

  • misirlou :) thanx brotha .

  • Misirlou from the Pulp Fiction soundtrack

  • i got a porsche 944 and it costs me 120 a year fully comp on classic lol ring footman james

  • hammond is the best lol they take the mick but he brought the best car lol

  • i mean wouldn't u recognize Jeremy Clarkson if he asked to get a qoute? rediciulous

  • my favorite was the Ferrari. I once bought a Porsche 928 used, a la the Budget Porsche episode, and I'm convinced that it was down a few dozen horsepower like these cars.

  • 6:15

    lol cant believe they used The Roots

  • listen to the sound balance between music and speech, i quess someone put this music over the original video.

  • who would waist their time to do that haha

  • someone did

  • No they hadn't. You will have to watch the video in high quality to get the audio right.

  • Same here, loving it though :p

  • Hammond reminds me of he could be one of the hobbits in the Lord of the Rings.

  • his tach must have been broken..it was revving up to 6000, if you listen to the engine pitch.

    musical geek and car geek..oh joy

  • Me too.

    Oh joy.

  • Hammonds car was the best looking by far, though yellow isn't my favorite color.

  • 8:17 the blond girl should mean something with that !!!!

  • i dunno what ya mean...but shes hot.!

  • the blond girl with the green scarf behind James May seems falling in his LOVE xD

  • thanks

  • At 6:50 Jeremy complains about an SS badge, but the car also needed a Merak badge. So it was a Merak version.

  • whats the song at 1:43?

  • Deep Purple - Black Night

  • May's laugh is so strange hahah

  • I love the sense of humor in these shows!!

  • What was the comment about Hammond's misfiring in his Ferrari around 3.33?? I couldn't quite understand..

  • Jeremy and James were predicting at about 2.58 that Richard will blame his (slow) lap time on a 'misfire'... at 3.33 he does indeed blame a misfire as predicted, thats why they were laughing.

  • That lambo was one of the best cars in the world at that time. The reason it broke down is the battery that is never created ever since the car came out so only lambo who are still live and actually serviced that car will be able to fix it.

  • all lost maserati engine blow up ferrari electrics all failed lambo broke down again

  • who won at the end like lol

  • what happened with the voiceovers?

  • 4:49 i like hammonds victory dance lol

  • ooooohhh my god! your car has done a wee

    has hammond ever had any proper problems with the cars he buys (apart from the classic car he thought his grand dad built)

  • The Alfa romeo challenge his Alfa's water pump broke and he had to get a crank one that he cranked while he drove.

  • oh yea, i forgot that one

  • well watch it on tv n stop bitchin bout free infotainment

  • sound over lapping for anyone else?

  • yeah me

  • SEND ME THE FERRARI :D

  • cars of this era, built to the edge of engineering need to be maintained on a very rigorous schedule or they just wear too much . . . these cars are about sound and fun . . . not reliability . . . have you civic guys ever owned a ferrari . . .or maserati? or lambo . . .none of them are reliable . . .not until audi purchased lambo could you rely on it starting every day.
