  • talk about unbreakable muscle O_O XD LOL XD i bet mabey even a dodge viper could build a better reccord than that XD

  • @FLAME4564 Thanks for constructing a coherent sentence.

  • @OverTheTop94 np ^^ anything constructive n practical needs that type of sentance to match.

  • i dont like the fact season 16 finished

  • @wetwater90 why in the netherlands

  • 28 people are caravan-killing volvo haters

  • Clarksons accent has changed SUBSTANTIALLY since this video.

  • I didn't know that Top Gear had haters as I didn't know that Justin Bieber has fans.

  • what series and episode is this one on? plz reply

  • Try this in the Netherlands.

  •  PRESS 2 FOR WREAK IT REMIX

  • oh man. brilliant! if only you could 'like' more than once without having to refresh

  • 27 people must have been in the last 2 caravans!

  • now only he tell the speed limit is 50 lol

  • when the volvo started i taught that it was no gonna make 50 miles

  • when the volvo started i taught that it was no gonna make 50 miles

  • Only broken turn light :)

  • puto racista

  • Love top gear and I want to see how tough those kinds of volvos are, top gear should do the same thing they did to the Hilux to that to see if it's tougher.

  • wtf was someone driving that? =o

  • you dont see that shit in mythbusters P

  • @turkishsoldierbaran Don't use a good show to hate on another good show. You don't see that shit on Opra...

  • just like davidsfarm haha

  • to be honest, the caravan saved the volvo... well done mate!

  • Caravans look like they're made of cardboard.

  • my mom loves volvo but i HATE it

  • @uberpwnleet1337 I hate Volvos too. Older ones are crap and newer ones cost an arm and a leg to fix when they break down - which is rather often.

  • If I hear another goddamn toyota commercial I will vow to never buy a toyota

  • Top Gear is bitter because it's dad never took it camping.

  • thank you top gear for destroying the caravan

  • 25 people polish their 240 all year to go caravaning in the summer

  • @leirikhol believe me.....its many more than 25......sadly

  • I'm amazed that big Volvo actually bounced on top of them for a little bit.

  • death to caravans!

  • "Well done!" xD

  • Scarily, the Volvo survives...

  • 240gl's are tanks. Fuckin awesome cars.

  • richard!

  • was like watching a fat kid jump into water...

  • yep...i love ads....press F5 to skip it :)

  • @Wyzenhu

    or if youve got firefox just download one of the extensions to block them

  • mint

  • Only the headlights are broken, maybe one or two scratchs on the paint ^^ Notice the sideview mirrors : intact =)

    These cars are mostly indestructibles.

  • @centinex88 notice the carivan are made of not such hard materials.. haha even a Citroën Perier would have survived that intact... hehe volvo's aren't such undestructible car's... there safe and well engineered hehe.. and still i rather have a 5 star renault on safety then a 3 star volvo wich is undestructable but brakes your neck when the stiff body shivers the impact to your spine =P

    just saying =D

  • That is the point, Volvo really provide shock absorbing zones : that's other's peoples cars you crash into =D

    But true : any car would have survived a crash into a caravan, they acts like cushion of soft material afterall, but most cars would have stuffs broken like sideview mirrors and the such.

  • I want to try this!

  • D'ya like dags?

  • lol he he he

  • @rug3r44

    Dags?

  • @Malskazz

    its from the movie "snatch"

    its a good movie u should watch it

  • I bet if the really pushed it that Volvo would soar over those heaps of rubbish.

  • but that wouldn't be so much fun would it?

  • @Suryavideo Yeah, LOL.

  • Don't know about you guys, but if I knew the company that made those caravans, I'd never ever buy one from them!

  • lmao why do they hate caravans so dam much its fuckin hilarious

  • @sparsnick123 Because all three complain it clogs up traffic and they are slow and all the people just visit a garden and they park in centres

  • Lol was the stig driving? He could have died

  • Well, as you know, stig cant die ;p

  • @TheReallHighROllerM they say that under his helmet is not a face, there is only a fist....wait, that's chuck norris and his beard...wait...THE STIG IS CHUCK NORRIS! WE'VE FIGURED IT OUT!

  • @anthonystuart69 the stig is chuck noriss' inspiration

  • lol that was actually very graceful until the last caravan

  • wast of a classic old volvo:(

  • Fuckin crazy, remember when I first saw this episode when first aired. This show will never be beaten by anything else going, it is just that amazing!

  • general lee can do it better

  • they should try this with that nitrous jaguar they had

  • They wanted to jump caravans....not send it into orbit hahaha

  • at least he had a soft landing

  • niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiccccccccccccccceeeeeeeeee­eeee

  • He should've jumped towing a caravan. lol

  • he cleared two and dismantled the restt lol

  • it would be so funny if the volvo just ran across the top, i got an idea, put like a cage in the caravan and then drive across the top, i dare some one to try it, Richard Hammond maybe?

  • i think it could drive after the crash, it looks totally intact

  • I want that they try out thi stunt with a toyota and see what's left from the car after something like this :/ Volvo tank 4 ever :D

  • LOL :)

  • oh that is so cool and i hate caravans so i am glad the volvo smashed them

  • fucking commercials man!!!

  • The unkillable Volvo 245 GL (Gran de Luxe) Made in sweden.

  • @MrKertty yeah sweden metal :D

  • @MrKertty 1000 thumbs up

  • @MrKertty You can't kill a Volvo, and because of their safety ratings, the people in it too.

  • @MrKertty no my uncle killed 245 in a crash with a 7-11...THE TOYOTA HILUX IS THE UNKILLABLE CAR made in Japan

  • @Aamin123456789 Not the same, " plastic crap " how many Hilux do you think is alive in 25 years ?

  • @MrKertty ..all of them?

  • volvo is a tank disguised as a car ! Great stunt! but i still hate volvo.

  • woah volvo kick their ass

  • ahh nice pillowy soft campers. lol. and the safest car out there. not to mention the ugliest

  • volvo+caravan=mashed caravan

  • Ha Ha! The car didn't even look damaged! Great stunt!

  • skimming over caravans =P

  • xD Awsome!

  • quite a dangerous stunt.

  • send me the link man

  • he was driving on the caravans!

  • yea really, thanks for ruining it

  • lol thanks for ruining it

  • thnx for ruining it you cunt

  • no need to call names, since i am a girl that is quite insulting. second of all, most people would have thought that before reading the comments you would have actually watched the video. plus it isn't like i'm the only one who said how many of them were cleared.

  • diesel volvo trucks can tow trailers.

  • Well that's fine, but I'm referring to the sort of boring, drive-it-around car they're using in the video. It's obvious that Volvo can make some pretty gnarly towers, as evidenced by the fact that most of the tractor-trailers I see on I-205 sport Volvo badges.

  • 240's are boring to look at. shoebox on wheels, and pretty uninspiring to look at, but whoa, they're quite powerful once you fiddle around with the ECU and drop some good parts on it

  • my friend has a volvo 740 with the same b230 engine. after extensive farmboy tuning it now puts out 450hp!!

  • LOL!!!  Like what?

  • Volvo is sooo safe!

  • That Volvo is a FF car? or FR?

  • if i remembered right it's FR

  • Cool! Thanks! Those are getting super cheap now, and I like them, Just didn't know. Before I knew they were safe, strong, and reliable.

  • aint the fuckin modern warfare 2 advert annoying any of you! grrr :s

  • And I thought the BBC couldn't play adverts :P

  • If you are in the uk, They don't. Since this is thw WORLDWIDE channel, it's meant for non-license payers and so they get adverts.

  • wow!!!!!

  • he manage to save 2 caravan

  • Volvo Rules..

  • better than all three of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies put together.

  • gr8 comment dude !!!

  • another sport that didn't make it to the 2008 olympics...

  • good old volvo, not a scratch.

  • he just sinks in them lol

  • volvo for life,volvo for proximate,yeahhh for volvo

  • Thought only Americans did this kind of stuff lol.

  • lol awesome

  • Woohoo!!!  Death to caravans!!! Top Gear for life, and Clarkson for PM!!!

  • @SconeSlayer CLARKSON FOR WORLD EMPEROR!!

  • The old school 240's were absolute tanks. Lol top gear has probably broken more caravans on the show than caravans I've seen piled up at the side of the road.

    Waddup with the history lesson here on the comment boards?!

  • go get your fucking brain checked

  • i completley agree with timoabrahams what the fuck are you talking about midget hammaond is 6ft 5" clarkson?

  • that looked like a shit load of fun!! XD

  • Guys, I hate to spoil your fun, but the video's on jumping caravans in a volvo, please just enjoy it and stop arguing about unrelated topics.

    Cheers, have a nice day

  • completely agree!

  • haze your a straight up dumb fuck :]

  • You know what REALLY FUCKING PISSES ME OFF? Seeing jackasses argue over pointless shit on a video that DOESNT RELATE TO WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT AT ALL. Shut the fuck up, go suck a tit, and come back when you've grown up.

  • Except for the Germans. j/k

  • We have Volvo 240 GL :DD My mother should always jump over some caravans :)

  • why the hell are they crushing the car wich some people would like to have and they cant buy it, i just cant see the point of these stupid tests. Its good show but this was stupid, i need to work like slave to buy this old car.

  • wow i hope the top gear people read this, like how can you douchebags really be fighting about country pride...jesus murphy ppl you live on the same planet dealing with the same overall bullshit how bout tryin to fix that instead of having a contest on whos better, you ppl who are fighting about this is the reason we cant all just get along, absolutly embarassing to be honest. and ps....ITS A CAR SHOW NO POLITICS

  • top gear = best car show on tv

  • Had a volvo like that they are tanks.

  • cool vid

  • He's that interviewer from Brainiac. :D

  • $1,000 for the caravan first in line (green and white)

  • ah, richard hammond, you have now entered the realm of true greatness, now that yahtzee of zero punctuation has mentioned you!

  • true.

  • hmmm, drive away?

  • why dont u guys tow ur rv's with suvs or trucks? a station wagon lmfao... but then again, ur rv's are alot smaller than ours, so i guess it evens out.

  • Ahum do you know how OLD this is? I don't mean Top Gear I just mean volvo's 240... and of course the caravan's!

    The issue with caravan's is that you may not sit in them while traveling..that isn't safe..nor are they the best place to keep your stuff.

    Now the Volvo 240 has an huge ass with loads of space for the obvious required cargo space for .. vacation.

    So there you go 2 grown up and maybe 3 kids..LOTSA stuff in the volvo and guess what a Caravan..

    Yeah be happy you are not behind it!

  • well maybe theyd go faster if they had cars that were actually built to tow towing them lol

  • Well nowadays it probably would be a nice 2 liter Diesel pulling it yes I agree! One with better handling then a volvo 240 estate!

    So why did they use a volvo 240 estate. I have no connection to TG but knowing their show..it was cheap to get and if it would break they didn't care! Whenever you see a volvo 240 driving you know you are in for hell!

    Slow, Big, Unwieldy and parking? HAHAHAHA! Funny my family had one and geesh when it came to parking add 5 minutes...with that big ass!

  • lol i love the cultural differences when it comes to cars between brits and americans, i think that car is shitty and small, and you think its humunngus. you dont have cars like the yukon xl, the chevy suburban, cars 20 feet long!!!!!!!! this thing is like 15?

  • 20 feet that is about 6 or 7 meters...ha try to park that or drive that in europe. Trust me you probably would rather rent a small care in Europe then drive a big Chevy!

    that and in Europe we don't do straight lanes that well. Even our highways got quite some curves and yes there is a difference between the american car, quite big but made for long travels. And have long right fast lanes!

    In europe we have well.. cultural and because of the past windy roads. Belief me rent a MINI here!

  • lol i dont think its that bad that i wont get around without a mini, im 6'5'' anyway, so a mini is OUT lol.

    if i do go, id prolly rent a small sedan like a vw passat or a toyota avensis as you guys call it. lol i bet ur saying "he thinks theyre smal?!?!?!"

    lol, idk, look up pictures of a suburban, ford expedition el, and the nissan armada, youll be amazed at how big they are. fun fact: the suburban is 4 feet longer than a range rover, the thing brits think is huge lol.

  • Mmm it would be a thight fit!

    But well in america things can be bigger..try to find a parking spot for that monster ;)

  • lol i live outside of new york city, and whenever i go to downtown manhattan, i always see them driving around, and let me tell you, i have a hard enough time finding a parking spot big enough for my accord, and i have no clue how they can park lol. but, in new york, there are alot of parking garages, so i guess its not a problem.

  • I guess they just take 2 parking places..because really some of those cars really use up allot of space!

  • lol no they basically have the same wheelbase as any other car, they fit in normal spaces. on the inside, the space is ridiculous, 40 cubic feet BEHIND the third row! lol. something like 196 with the third and second row folded

  • I don't want that mutch kids that I need a 3rd row. That way I can still drive a hot hatch like a Ford Focus RS or a Golf R32. And in Europe shops are close enough to your house so that you don't have to buy a lot each month, or get a gun and shoot it. But just go to the shop every couple of days.

  • what the fuck did you say? i do not own a gun, i hate that stereotype and really only rednecks own guns. i live in new jersey, the state with the lowest poverty rating in the union, i do not own a gun. also, stores are not far away, i do not know where you heard that from. every store i need is within 20 miles, i dont know if you consider that far, but i can easily travel that distance once a day.

  • wow, you seem to be the one talking about stereotypes and all. "and really only rednecks own guns", well buddy that sounds like a stereotype to me.

  • mhmm rednecks and black people XD nah im jk, you are right i didnt even notice that, thanks alot for correcting me. but you were still wrong for saying it. am i saying that you dont have logic because you lost it in your tea? no. i do not believe in knocking other nations.
