Motorised Bicycles & Stretch Lada in Cuba - Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld - BBC

[DoNkEyDuK]

i thought this was just some guy riding a bike until i heard his voice.

[hejjagedu]

It's just an early moped, what's so special?

[Fahnestock1]

Well I guess I should go and pass on now cause I've seen a stretched Lada.

[eltessy]

"RICK'N'BILLY" is the named of those motorised bycycles in Cuba!

[fairyheli2]

my motorized bike just died, piston rings are now on a road near chichester :-(

[MrRRW555]

I like my motorized bike. It gets over 100 mpg and tops 20 mph. Not the fastest but it'll do.

[kingly205]

my honda once belonged to elvis presley. just sayin.

[ziegle9876]

The sordid final outcome just to the likings of the victors of the Spanish-Amerikan war.

[blueburaq]

yup, and my grandpas cadillac once belonged to abraham lincoln!

Наши ЛАДЫ во всём мире что надо!!!!!!!!!!!

[randomdude10010]

You people talk about our embargo like we owe Cuba something or that we're just supposed to trade with them. Um, no. We owe them nothing and don't want anything to do with them. If they would get rid of the dictatorship and move to a democratic type of governing and an open market system, then yes but currently, no. Don't like this answer? Sorry but I don't care, like I would after all the bitching and moaning you all do about us. After a while, we stop giving a fuck

[icleaustria]

Does anybody know when was this filmed?

[AlecZorric]

@icleaustria This episode aired the 11th of January 1996, So its probably filmed in the summer of 1995

[1998620Miki]

he's shoes are gay :P

[dahorn100011]

@1998620Miki you can't blame him, they may have been in fashion when this show was aired.........in 1996

[edwardoalvarez22]

All those old Cars are wealth  a lot of Money. If they can bring it the U.S. have it remolded.

[joe9320]

He doesn't like it.

[KPKonliner]

In Indonesia,if you ride any modern sedans,many people will get jealous and stare at you for a long time .

[KPKonliner]

I saw these kind of bikes in China

[OghamTheBold]

I heard - UN voted embargo illegal

[MrPenfold84]

@OghamTheBold It is!! shouldn't be in place in this day and age.

But what do you expect from the USA? they always did think they can tell other countries how to live, hence the reason they're not exactly well liked around the globe!

[THEARMEDLIFE]

@MrPenfold84 . i agree and i am american. thing is the world need know there is a big difference between the us gov and the us people we have nothing to do with what are gov does look at this war we've been saying get out for years obama promised we'd be out in his first year of office and were still there our gov dont care what other countrys think or want but they don't care what we want either. should i hate the english people if the queen does something i dont agree with. no of course not !

[Lolaandthemachines]

@THEARMEDLIFE The Queen doesn't really have power.

[Microglia1]

I have an Audi and Tesla and I'm Cuban.

[edersiomoran]

[sarzamineiran]

FUCK THE US EMBARGO!!!

[DBSpy1]

@sarzamineiran I agree, its stupid and I was one of the kids Russia almost Nuke over Cuba. Let Americans go there with Toys if you want to bring down Cuba,not a stupid EMBARGO.

[buddybleau]

@sarzamineiran You should first get an education before making such idiotic statements!

[AManNamedCM2]

@buddybleau America will never defeat Communism through inhibiting trade. The only way that Communism can be defeated is through a Free Market (Capitalism) without bounds.

[buddybleau]

@AManNamedCM2 You may be right.

[XMichaelSpektorX]

@Hurricane101167 since they look like shyte

[EpiDemic117]

@Hurricane101167 Well when some of these cars are already falling apart and most of them don't work. You'd get the idea. This is the thing i don't understand to those who dislike topgear or clarkson. Why doesn't anyone ever catch his sarcasm and take it all seriously?

[Hurricane101167]

@EpiDemic117 I don't dislike top gear or clarkson.

[pim3fifty]

pause at 1:28 can't stop laughing xD

[mondeost2202008]

Pretty young girls a lift home?? I believe America had something called "carpooling"

[203207ab]

This is what we call in the good USA a british douchebag. Why are you breaking the embargo by going there you english douchebag? you think you're better than our American laws? go screw yourself you limey redcoat.

[jorenvonk]

@203207ab

You think your laws are better than a limey redcoat? Way to compare apples with icecream while you didn't even grasp the context.

[ALIOSZACAPONE]

and orange fiat 125p :) I love Cuba

[marcoffs95]

ooh look at that Porsche 356! i'd buy it and give it a new paint job, fix some shit and there ya go =)

[SspavvesS]

[Marinemiketobe]

[RnB123100]

the hotels name is ''el capri''

[RnB123100]

i remember something da orner of mercedes benz said : ''merc is da only company 2 offer new parts 4 cars over 50years old.its imposible 2 keep an old car runig without original parts exept 4 da old chevys in cuba.''

[RnB123100]

we cubas dont need so much crapy expensive parts to repair a car,just give us a woterbottle n some tape,lol

[R3DMAN1AC]

when you live in cuba, you'll go back in time of the wreckssss!

[matawin2]

shit he was skinny at the time lol

[kostasviper]

"Ladies and gentlemen... you have now seen it all. This is a.... stretch Lada!!" Hehehehe

[Motorfordtoyota]

Thats sad, a car that is consider a Piece of shit in America, is consider a luxury car in Cuba. Sad!

[Athrunwong]

@Motorfordtoyota

so we must stop bitching about our lives.....

we had iphone in our pocket and toyota camry in our yard......

we are damn lucky dude....

[ter1960]

Cubans live with what they have.

Some first world people have cars but they have to work night and day to pay the leases or loans.

So they live in freedom?

[meowmixy1]

This guy is the typical pompous British wanker! Both himself and wheoever at the BBC that wrote the script for this uninformed and unresearched bit of propaganda should be reassigned. At 4:07 "he suspects" the Porsche 356 "will never become a classic". What an ignorant tool!! It already has been a recognized classic for the last 20+ years.

[meowmixy1]

In addition he's a shameless propagator of stereotypes. And what of British stereotypes?...I suppose that it's also a well known fact that all Brits have bad teeth and all they do all day is drink tea, eat crumpets and watch oronation Street. . What's even worse is effectively calling the Cubans animals. What an absolute wanker that guy is!!!!

[hcrun]

@meowmixy1

You are displaying your ignorance or lack of a classical education....or possibly both.

The reference to "all animals being equal....etc" comes from George Orwell's "Animal Farm".

[kayman92]

@meowmixy1 He wasn't calling them animals it was a reference to George Orwell's Animal Farm.

[guywhoflys1]

@meowmixy1 you think he is calling them animals? you are a fucking idiot you clearly have no idea what he is referring to. it's a quote from the novel Animal Farm and he's referring to the socialist economy there, not actually calling them animals

[ViccieB1993]

@meowmixy1 Maybe that was the joke you bloody fool.

[maugustyniak]

He said exactly what I thought: "That's a stretched Lada, now I've seen it all..." OMG!!!

[KraZyRuskieFilms]

i wish jeremy clarkson was immortal...

[R33Racer]

People in Cuba adore their cars as they are such a privalage to own. We are lucky that you can ger 20 year old cars for almost free yet over there it's dire. There's almost nothing that is simply written off there.

[thepedomo]

hahaha cuba rocks!!!

[89s10lvr]

how is the throttle set up on one of these things

[RnB123100]

@89s10lvr it depens who built it

[Any2267ful]

What is your message?.I undestand the same like you cubancohiba.But who look like animal of the farm is him.You don'see ,when it stoped de motor of the bicycle and he doesn't to fix de problem,because he cann't do it ,and two man in one motorcicle say something to him,for he get out his way.He look so dumb in the middle of the street.ja,ja,ja.Anyway.Long life to cuba and its smart people!!

[cityflyguy]

And imagine being able to just fit a motor to a bike and be legal. Here ou cant do anything like that without the police bothering you or some old biddy curtain twitching and calling them. Cuba looks awesome, I dont buy the whole anti communist BS we hear. Life looks good there, I jus thope they can resist any attempts at over throw once castro is dead.

[cityflyguy]

Its disgusting how we in the west scrap millions of superb cars everyday, when in cuba those cars would run for another 80 years or more. Dont forget these cars are not made of the same quality of lets say a 80s-early 90s mercedes. Can you imagine how long an old 300D would last in cuba? And that horrible scrappage scheme made people destroy thousands of them. If I had the money I would buy up any decent used car in the west and ship it off to cuba.

[MegaDavid1960]

now i know whot to do with that old chain sore ...lol

[cubancohiba23]

This guy is passively funny...did you hear him when he got an electric shock while riding the "Harley". Also, look into min 2:40 I could swear I heard him say "In Cuba all the animals are equal" I hope I am wrong...I am not trying to be funny

[ozmodiar88]

It'a reference to a book named Animal Farm. This book has an anti-communist message, but also a left-wing bias.

[GlennnD]

whoaaa !! Cuba is awesome !! Old cars etc..

[KraZyRuskieFilms]

isn't the Lada russian?

[mrspivvy]

yes. The USSR helped cuba out for many years, financial support, cars etc

[RnB123100]

@KraZyRuskieFilms russa use 2 B very good friend with cuba

[dirtTdude]

most of those cars are just about all done now

[era562]

[ARXHMalakas]

these guys are being fucked by the us embargo for ages , no parts , no fluids NOTHING, let me tell you some of the best mechanics are in that island u have to be a real mcguyver to use soap water as break fluid....

[mrspivvy]

absolutely. The cuban mechanics are geniuses. making windchields out of bus window panes, fashioning new wings out of sheet steel, etc etc

[GrandDanois]

@ARXHMalakas - Soap water as break fluid? Gives a nice comfy brake pedal :P

[LamboK28992]

@ARXHMalakas umm theyre an oppressive communist regime you hippy fuck

[zabimaru1593]

@ARXHMalakas soap water?

[TheJcp1234]

@ARXHMalakas Communism fucked up Cuba.

[Vitaminous]

Communism is only good at making everyone poor.

[ferlotte]

same thing for capitalism

[Vitaminous]

You're mistaking it for socialism and your basing that statement on the old days... Y'know, when government and business were best buds forever.

True capitalism works. True communism doesn't, because there's no such thing - humanity just does not function that way.

[ferlotte]

If you look at this closer, you'll see that capitalism is not working, that's why the economy is going wrong since 1 year and more, and magically, the US government must invest to finance GM and big private...

[Vitaminous]

That's socialism, stop being stupid and uneduqauted.

Central banking is one of the first bits of the communist manifesto, and we've been having it since... Oh, yeah, major economic fluctuations - what a coincidence!

Government-planned economy is not capitalism.

[2491cc]

"uneduqauted"? haha retard

[Vitaminous]

Totally missed that.

[starmanskye]

Vitaminous: Privatized profits, socialized costs is NOT socialist. Your wacky ideas are a product of the bloated bureaucratized corporate-hijacked society and hypocritical, opportunisticly-fraudulent system that owns you. What IS the national insecurity state making an institution of perpetual war, poverty, crime and government fraud-and-corruption BUT unregulated 'free-market' capitalism. Stop being stupid, undereducated and foolish!

[bcubed72]

True capitalism leads to unrest, which leads to communism, which doesn't work...so, "true" capitalism doesn't work.

You wouldn't want to live in an idelogically pure capitalist society...imagine Charles Dickens' worst nightmare!

[Vitaminous]

No it doesn't.

I don't see Hong Kong being communist.

[sikor4fun]

[soneyps1]

whelle that mother fucker

[taurus29]

Lada is a little rough car but surely proven to work good in countries like cuba.. specially the rwd ones they are still operating. You see the fwd japanese and european come and go they don't last much in cuba and cuban don't even waste time and trying to make them work. The simples of lada that makes a great car that can survice the armagedon.

[hardcore4republican]

the american cars in cuba worked better. they fixed, serviced and fueled themselves out of nothing in a country that was isolated for more than 50 years, and counting.

[Mr101139]

cuba is poor and cheap cars with no way to make your situation any better no matter how hard you work

i rather live in mexico, same situation but at lease there im free to leave whenever i wanted lol!

[liteboy2004]

huh?

[RockaChrillie]

that 59 caddy in the end, i felt sorry for it :(

[ChazEverest]

It's not propaganda, it's true. However I would rather live a couple less years than live in tha shyte hole

[Pnkbong]

Cuban now have a higher life expectancy than Americans.

[yonian]

A calorie-restricted diet will do that for you. Though perhaps North Korea is taking it a bit too far.

[Mr101139]

but they still live way way more poor lol, so whats a long life without any fun??

slow and painful thats what

[Whitehorze]

And that ladies and gentlemen, is communism at work...

[UnionPacificPL]

[rocketlauncher2]

For cheap classics, go to Cuba.

the hard part is getting it out.

[daryl4classic]

Cheap? I went on holiday there while i was in college and a lada was for sale for ,what I later discovered was equivalent to, £7000!

[rocketlauncher2]

Well I was kidding.. but like the video said, they will bump up the price for the cars.  Guess we have confirmation on that that they really do that, thanks to you :D

[uhmidk7]

lol in the vietnam show thingy it showed that jeremey was hopeless with any 2 wheeled vehicle.....yet here he seems perfectly fine on his motor bicycle

[Axbent]

they should have a scrappage scheme there like inthe UK atm! export the nice old american cars, to ppl who refurbish them!

[Brainiac83]

Ladies and gentleman, you have now seen it all ! ahahahahaha

[mailman63155]

the cars are sad, the bikes funny

[whizbang47]

This guy is pretty sad.

[produKtNZ]
