Ford Model T - Fifth Gear Legends

[Theawsomenes83]

oh my god it has bicycle wheels

[Theawsomenes83]

were the hell did u get that ebay

[kalispellvalleyford]

A true legendary car. At 101 years still maintained it's brand new look and a touch of gold makes it more lovely. It runs pretty well, too.

[JEEPnF100]

Oldsmobile was the first to use the production line!!!!!

[matzklim]

@MrEricMBlack so is the internet, you better get out man

[Bouzoukiellas]

Lets go ride in a mota ca!

[LongSchlong9000]

Lightweight, no roof, 'loads of torque,' green...

Ladies and gentlemen, the Lotus Elise Model T!

[juffurey]

is that a model t built to uk specs? or were the first ones all right side driver?

[PolishExplorer]

Never mind I heard the location on the video that your in the UK my mistake.

[PolishExplorer]

Are you from England because I was wondering why that Model T has the steering wheel on the right just wondering?

[PremiereDirector]

Great video, just one suggestion though, it made me cringe watching you crank with your right hand - big no-no! A model T should ONLY be cranked with the left hand when starting, as if it backfired, you could break your wrist and possibly arm too.

Otherwise, very good video.

[Octavideoz]

oh nice, heated seats included

[GrotrianSeiler]

Goosebumps, mate. That was a great piece. Nice to have a younger folk engage with such an old piece of kit, to give some perspective on how different things were. I'm off to Boston for annual Porschefest, for a very different kind of experience. And taking the MGB. Cheers.

MORE LEGENDS!

[AndersO1983]

The complicated starting sequence would be a much better way for preventing your car being stolen than any modern alarm system...

[DJzSith]

this calls for a drag race! oh wait this isn't top gear :(

[niswel]

Oh, you forgot to say it completely changed the society as a whole - things like suburbs and shopping centers out of the city centers would be impossible without a car - public transportation just cannot cope with all personal transport. Living in remote areas or in mega-cities like LA is hopeless without a car.

[silverbullet1979]

it's amazing to see how the automobile evolves through the years, this has been one of the greatest reviews I've seen... good job 5th gear...

[PapioG]

I want one on Forza 4 :P

[mastifiorulamitongla]

how do you perform an emergency stop? dethrottle, then clutch in, then swap down into low, then... we already killed eight children, a dog, and maimed an old lady?

[rock3tcat]

@mastifiorulamitongla

Or just declutch and brake...

[ay1990kb]

next legend may be the mini

[powersliding]

wow, first production car came with cruise control

[psk666pt]

Great Vid. Great Car. thank you Graham, and thank you Mr Ford. :)

[DroverChicago]

Graham is a Fifth Gear legend.

[datpimpinboy]

Great video and great car but I didnt understand shit about how to drive this car.

[altern8ive]

it's rare to say this about webclips but im really looking forward to what future 'Legends' are lined up :)

[nurttkind]

wobbling wheel at the back

[transammike]

Cool video, I want one!

[chimaeraSPK]

Crankin' that engine up seems like a dangerous chore, thank goodness for modern technology. Appreciate the history lesson tho'.

[12valvepower1]

stig it. 

[jessancatre]

One of the best car videos I have watched. Two thumps up!

[boofhead123456]

"make sure its fully retarded" hehe

[lindsayicon]

now let's put Tiff in it.

[MrOdogowen]

the model a (1928-1931) was the first modern affordable car every built. you could start the car from the inside. you had a clutch pedal, brake pedal, and a gas pedal. it had roofs available. you could order a heater as an aftermarket accessory. also was the first car to ever have down payments. kinda cool to know that some things never change.

[HardlyNormal12]

@SwPiotrek Never forget that Henry Ford's anti semetic views inspired Hitler

[SwPiotrek]

That's why I love Ford's.

History of "T" is much nicer than VW Beetle...

[12valvepower1]

@SwPiotrek copy of the tatra t603 tatraplan

[WhiteIceMan3]

So you need a PhD?

[JDMSurge]

I bet one of the legends is going to be the 57' ferrari 250 testa rossa.

[Rangeroversport12]

@JDMSurge or the F40

[nforspeed91]

It's still hard for me to comprehend the fact that car is over 100 years old.

[roflcopterofchaos]

whats with those shoes!?!?!?!?!?

they look like they are off a movie set for somewhere between star wars and something about the roman empire.

[sebas412]

LIKE A LOT

[frdyn8tr]

Funny how he avoids to say "top gear"

[bloximonkey]

@frdyn8tr Where?

[freejrs]

@frdyn8tr There's only two gears......high and low. Top Gear doesn't come into it. ;-)

[paulb4uk]

Great car and video most modern cars struggle to last 10 years and are made out of cheap and nasty materials .

[peterhejlejensen]

Extremely wobbly rear left :O

[allwheeldrive1]

@peterhejlejensen

pffff its called active camber. :)

[odzadze123]

Very Nice video!!!

5/5

[TerribleTimes]

Great episode, we could learn a lot buy trying to once again copy Ford's system, cheap, well built cars, built in your home country and sold for a fair price....oh to dream..

[12valvepower1]

needs a 4bt cummins yeah.

[typhoon5000]

Awesome vid. I got to visit the original Model T factory and Detroit and it was awesome.

I can't wait to see what the next "legend" is, although I'm not looking forward to the Beetle.
