[ledrocker555]

oh and the boxter?

[ledrocker555]

where the hell is the bmw!?

[1958plymouth440V8]

What's the music while they are driving the Beetle?

[GermanStraight1]

well ...

I was laughing when he called out to the woman

" oh you like something hitler gave the world " ...

you just have to admire british humor !

[desimunda116]

no homo but Hammond should get his old hairstyle back....it looks a lot better

[Molo9000]

I kind of like the copen but the styling is just unexceptable for a man.

I'm usually not the guy who cares about this shit (I drive a MINI for fucks sake) but this is just too much.

And it's WAY too expensive.

It's 18.000Euro over here. That's Fiat 500 Abarth money and only 4000

[Molo9000]

(oops, hit the post comment button)

... 4000 less than a MX5.

Cheapest metal roof convertible sounds nice on paper, but I'd rather forget about the convertible and get a 500 Abarth.

Why can't any manufacturer make a simple, cheap sportscar designed for men?

[Nihilus56]

why do they play the music so loud over their voices sometimes?

[klassetompa]

Hammond!!! get a haiiircuuuut!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[narutofan9285]

ah yes, Massey Ferguson lol

[MercSLRFan]

God I love James' laugh.

[nerddna]

@zalmanuk yes but top gear gets money ... top gear can enable it or disable it. they make money everytime it is played

[Alpenghost]

Audi is the best.

[nerddna]

@zalmanuk it is not youtube who puts it there it is top gear .... top gear gets the money when you see it

[JT123DMG]

no its google

[missmymissy]

vw sucks.

[odktommy]

so do you

[jwhitt070]

use firefox and adblock plugin no more ads

[HenrikOlof]

Beetle cab = for females

[PrincetonTV]

In the mazda miata you can drive in the rain with the top down, going about 20 mph is enough. AND I can raise and lower the top at 30 MPH no problem with one hand. I have the canvas top with a hard top optional. Conversion time canvas under 45 seconds, hardtop under 30 seconds.

[stigger91]

I got my friend who's 6'5" to sit in a Smart Fortwo roadster and his head was popping out the top just like Clarkson with that Daihastu lol

[nimdawf]

Fire the sound guy again

[projundertax]

2:59

epic

[mrjost55]

this is when top gear was the best...now it's a bit disappointing how it became more of a family comedy show

[tomfrankmum]

wat iz the song from 0:16

[Lilsaintaz]

Stupid BBC sucks at mixing

[Exodus646]

its because the video is in stereo and the youtube videos are mono

[alterbr33d]

7:28 Its harder to hear him

[cromkalo125]

wats the name of the small yellow car?

[mikalux67]

daihatsu copen.

you got to be either of south european or asian size to fit in ! ;)

[unnamedgrave]

daihatsu copen. pretty much a convertible smaller fiat 500

[Powertampa]

peel p50 con. would be perfect for clarkson

[AmmadeenaSheppard]

Hammond says Britain is the wettest country in the world? Come and spend a week in Belgium at any given time of year. I guarantee you it will rain.

[Zeldarulesworld]

it is wetter

[kwameopoku410]

who edited the effing sound?

[hAhan17]

hahaha... its dry... yeah!!!!!!

[unnamedgrave]

no, i think you're thinking of Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk

[sebaleon]

hahahaha that guys hair, so funny

[arealnoob]

who edited the effing sound?

I can't hear hamster's voice over the loud music. its like this in the other videos too.

[bluetoes591]

Yeah, whenever the host is inside a car talking and the shot is from outside the car, they overemphasis this and make it impossible to hear what they're saying. It doesn't matter whether its from my computer speakers, headphones, or one of my vintage stereo systems you just can't hear a thing they have to say. Very frustrating.

[welshboi123]

the televised version you can hear everything but when they decided to show it online they re edited the sound. besides what they say about the car when its a voice over is recorded in a studio, which is then added to the visual

[bluetoes591]

Where the sound is recorded is entirely beside the point. I work in the film and television industry, so trust me I know how much sound is edited. However, they are creating the illusion that they are speaking from inside the car and making it so we can't hear it here, sitting at our computers.

[killroy71]

Ah the Bettle, the ultimate girl car!

[AKARNZ]

who's the effin' sound editor?!?! i can't even hear it in headphones!

[roveradamus]

the background music overpowers their talking...... hate that..

[WinkingLark]

"Whaa! Stop! I've had enough. I just got a squall in me face" - May. Haha

[DuallyDieselFord]

Europe has many nice cars. the US sometimes lacks this

[LorienoftheBlossom]

Viper, Corvette ZR1, Challenger and thats about as good as it gets

[DuallyDieselFord]

Dont 4get CTS-V and the ford GT even though they dont make em anymore

[LorienoftheBlossom]

quite true, the Ford GT is still an amazing supercar

[DuallyDieselFord]

the Us has had those beetles for years

[Katlunazul]

Great!!! We get to enjoy stupid beetles but not older version STIs, Evos or Skylines......

Really...

[sxssio]

well yea, this video is about 6 yrs+ old

[Yocara]

Where were the images taken from? I would like to go there :)

[simon547]

Buttermere in the lake district, beautiful part of England, worked in a hotel there, definately worth a visit, the views from the top of the mountains are amazing.

[KPWoCkAxX]

True that.

Aweosme place!

[rrdtogo]

THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD!!

[SilveI2]

TOO LOUD MUSIC!! :((

[ErkyOfChrome]

I wonder which media boffin neglected to downmix this to stereo before uploading?

[Whoatemycheese]

Dear Top Gear,

Please don't make the music so %$#@! loud and the voice-over so %$#@! soft that I can't hear what's being said. Please.

Regards,

Fellow Youtuber

[seanarrative]

I have a question; is it a "uk" thing to have the music so loud while the host is talking? I cant hear them speaking that well..

[tomoevans]

not, it's not

just a beeb boob

[Bosmob]

I'm pretty sure the VW Beetle along with a lot of their other models are manufactured/assembled in Mexico...

[Li1Heavy]

Why is the music so dang loud cant hear squat

[nissanrb30]

BU-GAY!!!

[sismithin]

WTF the start???

[BENKATOK]

Americans buy more convertibles than the whole Europe.

[cliquehop]

I like the daihatsu coppen.....

[anurek123]

me too. never heard of it before really lolz :p

a sony ferrari??!!

[googleguy08]

They keep having sound issues.

[N495illithian]

This is actually from a really old episode, from season 2. To put that into perspective, they're about to release season 14. The sound is basically fixed on all the newer shows.

[TalmadgeG1]

They even have them on BBC america versions on tv. Best just to use a torrent.

[1g2002541]

love the New beetle Conv.

[LordPine]

i feel sorry for anyone who owns any of these cars

[NovaScene]

Awesome work with the sounds! Congratz!

[PyroPandaGuy]

lots of complaints about the sound...lucky for me both of my ears work =D

[1Mouse1]

both mine do but u seriously cant hear richard over the music at one point

[MrRocket2008]

Yea that seems to be a problem with a lot of their older clips that they put onto Youtube for some reason.

[PyroPandaGuy]

hmm...maybe I didn't have it because I was wearing headphones at the time, who knows

[GalmTeamLeader]

Why is the music so loud? You can't hear anything half the time because of the music.

[joli0411]

plz, lower the sound of the music!!!!

[killersamuk]

FIX THE SOUND!

[msanchezym]

WTF? Where did all this adverts come from?

[imthebrandon]

goddamn fire the sound editor, geez!

[darthleonus1]

Hammond and I *

[anildesai824]

hi

i think its a old video...some what season-12..

[swishersweets666]

FIX THE FUCKING SOUND !!!!!!!!!!!

quality show otherwise.

[HaxorLee]

Wow...

I sent TopGear a PM about this issue.

They replied a couple of days later saying:

Thanks for your message. Our team are already looking into it. Please accept our sincere apologies andw e hope that you continue to enjoy our videos.

Finally... We can hear what they are saying in the vids :P

[123crider123]

I've too noticed the sound is bad on a lot of topgear videos.

The music is just too loud and you can't hear the talking... very annoying.

[amedsoprano]

indeed

[Gadoguz]

so you see, gerry does care about us... LOL

[aenimoxxx]

nice!

[pewterhatch]

Why is the smaller guy driving? Shouldn't the bigger guy be the one that drives?

[MrSexyscout]

really good show i like it soo much

[thejackboom]

hahaa i love topgear. hey guys and girls if youve got time. check out my vid :D

[ducdodger245]

QUESTION... Why is the audio mix on these BBC posted TOP GEAR segments so bad???

[pewterhatch]

Why is the steering wheel on the passenger side?

[lesterclaypool1]

are you joking ?

[RockOut113]

In England, New Sealand, Australia and other countries that drive on the left side of the road, it is just usual, since you sit closer to the middle of the road

[Oxedizer]

Ummm.. What? "since you sit closer to the middle of the road ". Left hand drive - Right side of the road. Right hand drive - Left side of the road... both occasions, the drivers seating position is in the middle of the road mate.

[Leksaboy]

just what he said and then you repeated it and.. just wtf?

[Oxedizer]

Its called quoting him hence the quotation marks!... For the cheap seats (You) at the back quotation marks are --> ""

[RockOut113]

that's what i meant

[stTbear]

new ZZZZZealand dude zealand has a Z

[RockOut113]

my bad, im not english you know

[Oxedizer]

No worries dude

[stTbear]

me neither hahahah

[gibsonlespaulfany]

because that is so in britain slick

[SgtGe0]

James May: Arrrgh stop! I just got a squwall in my face.

lol

[coolerdude44]

can't even hear the voiceover, it's even worse than on their other vids. idk how clarkson drives these small cars, i'm 6'5'' just like him, and i can't fit into a honda s2000, yet he can. the mazda mx5 is fine for me though.

[carman726]

its not your speakers or top gear so stop blaming it on them WATCH this on BBC if you have it and on youtube its is different when they post it on youtube the adio setup gets changed so its jacked up

[metal571]

cmon audio engineers. louder voices, lower music. but professional video job.

[LiquidRetro]

Wow this is old but good.

[SexCyberGuideCom]

good

[mrtyrang]

Does anybody know the name of that classical song that starts at around 5:03/5:04?

[italianstuddmuffin]

"its dry.........YYYYEEEEEEAAAAHHHH­H"

[fanlimits]

British brokeback mountain

[drwhopk]

why the hell couldnt they engineer the sound ?the music is louder than the narrator.....

[jattnyc]

man i jus hate wen they put too much music dat u cant even hear the guy tlkin

[Max44091]

God I just love the Youtube Topgear audio editors.

[b00353]

"CREATE A CARTOON WHO LOOKS LIKE YOU" why?!

[dylntgr]

God exist-trust me

[maulcs]

Yeah. I'll trust you, over actually observing the universe and the centuries of scientific study. But I'll trust you.

[nakedshoes]

no he doesn't

[wrobokram]

These ads piss me off

[300spartan16]

lawls at "so you can see,jerry does care about us" ww2 FTW

[Coorweiser]

Love god now

[ColdCoffee25]

[StevoElsupremo]

its ok he doesnt exist anyways

[vdub350]

I love the image quality of TopGear videos.

[aquariansafi]

sound issues!

[denisgja]

the sound is terrible!!

[BlazingCheerio]

girl at 8:46 on the right is hot.

[Skandar0007]

Sorry , This is **** what ?? at 0:19

[Volfmech]

Sounds like "Buttermear" ?

[dmhiggs]

Buttermere. Its in the Lake District.

[dmhiggs]

Buttermere.

[jrodigan5]

A neighbor of mine has the Audi in blue, its a great car. They should have had the SAAB 9-3 convertible on here, it would have been perfect.

[Darwinpasta]

You guys seriously need to work out the sound mixing.

[msingh16]

the british borkeback mountain!!!! hahaha

[drummied]

All the clips have sound issues when there is "background" music...which, of course becomes foreground!

All the clips are also brilliant and funny.

This issue of the sound is also quite noticable but not as bad on the telly.

[musicaddict333]

when you live in Canada and half the time it snows, youll never want a convertible unless your travelling down south when you get that odd warm day

[Kingpin1880]

No I have a reason to want a convertible; driving in the rain XD.

[shariItachi]

The thing about driving in the rain isnt rubbish.

Mythbusters tested it and it works.. Altho I think you have to mantain a 90 km/h speed.

[meteorix]

The sound is annoying... in some parts I can't heard the voice...

[olicc]

yeah, a lot of their videos are like that. The music is mixed higher than the vocals. Which is odd, because its not like that on TV.

[BlazingCheerio]

its youtube compressing the sound

[Brandmon]

Agreed. In the actual episodes on TV, the sound wasn't a problem. It is on youtube though.

[Boruc987]

wat year is this from????

[exoticcar2009]

I think 2003

[203207ab]

what a bunch of british pricks.

[LeedsLunatic]

Die

[flammejohn]

please fix the sound. its really annoying

[Skandar0007]

This is What ??? 0:20

[f430ownerFL]

The wettest place in Britain.

[frogspawn11]

[MTLbigJ]

brokeback mountain...james may and richard hammond have an affair

[smellslike1974]

7:17.Music louder then speech fail.lol!

[The0Burger0King]

It is very hard to hear over the music...

[jadephyre]

Hitler didn't design the original VW Bug, it was Ferdinand Porsche.

[Soldatoflife]

Audio so-so in certain spots. The jokes were worth the watch as usual :)

[cazybeast2]

what are they saying???????? aghhhhhhhh

[Skandar0007]

lmao

[poll669]

sounds fine to me =P

[sathyou]

Crappy sound, again.

[drumline91289]

i could hear them... sort of. top gear have done worse in the sound department

[HighVoltage002]

music to loud

[colenbrak]

whoever edited this really hates the sound of hammonds voice

[Hodzic95]

HAHAHAAH 02:58

[citizenross]

Sort the sound out TG.

[4WheelsofLux]

Audio isn't that good..

[Stummel01]

[sorenslothe]

[zJoriz]
