Children are rebellious. If your mum is safe, you are unsafe, if you mum is fast, you are slow. It may be intentional or not, but that is how it often is.
You cant really break the 4th wall in a show like this where they talk to the camera all the time. They arent trying to pretend theyre in a universe and they arent being filmed.
Mrs. May looks like she would send her son to his bedroom. Mrs. Hammond looks like she would slap her son’s bottom. Mrs. Clarkson looks like she would have beat her son with a crowbar.
I remember the "finding the source of the Nile" episode where in a city in Uganda this random bloke selling stuff on the street goes up to James' car and says "captain slow" It was one of the highlights of the whole show imo
2:31 AHA! So the mystery behind the slowness of Captain Slow is revealed!! It was his speedy mum that traumatized him as a child! .. That makes sense..
That explains it… When either Miraitowa or Someity gets traumatized by their speedy parents, they expected to go at the same manner as James May. However, unlike James, they managed to get rid of their worst trauma ever.
I would've loved to see their mothers do some more testing, preferably using something with at least 500 horsepower. Sadly, that's not possible now. Farewell, Mrs. Clarkson.
Their mums are literally the opposite of their personality Richard's mother drives really careful and safe James' mother drives like a racing driver (lol, it surprised me, even the low-profile tires) Jeremy's mother is really patient
No, TYres. Non of that stupid american spelling here. Top gear is British. Tyre is what goes on the wheel of a vehicle and is spelt with a Y. Tire is used when you're describing someone whose not had enough sleep.
4:03 *Mrs May:* "Also, when the back seats were down, there was very little room in the front for your legs for driving; I couldn't get the [driver's] seat back far enough." *Mrs Hammond:* "I didn't notice that." 🤣
I love Richard and his mum's bickering at the beginning when they were trying to sort the car when all James was wondering was whether his mum had brought him a fruit cake!!!
0:25 I’ve definitely had this discussion with my mother before. Where she’s not quite understanding some piece of tech and I’m getting frustrated trying to explain it to her. When Hammond said, “It just is!” I felt that in my soul 😂
Oh I always got so annoyed when people point out similarities between parents/kids/siblings etc., but i just changed my mind looking at Hammond and his mom. Not only do they look the same, but just listen to her "right" (0:47)! :D
Mrs Clarkson is calm and considerate. Mrs May drives very fast. Mrs Hammond is a safe and responsible driver. They are literally the opposite of their sons
That is so funny... All their mums are just so sweet, and I loved the dragrace, and Mrs. Clarksons comment afterwards; "can we do it again??" But the must funny thing really, was that James May's mother was the fastest of the lot....!!!!

Mrs. May seems like a lady that would be fun to just hang out with baking cookies on a lazy Sunday afternoon. For that matter, I bet they all would. Shame about Mrs. Clarkson. These are the types of women that rightfully deserve the title of "mother". Makes me miss mine.
Still one of my all time favorite segments. I always wished they had the moms back again. And I definitely wish they got Mays mom out for a full timed lap in the reasonably priced car. They could have riffed on Captain Slow all day. His point that he is Captain Slow as she traumatized him as a kid was spot on though.
These mothers have actually changed my view about buying cars. I wasn't the kid that dreamt of having a fancy sports cat, a Ferrari, or any of that fast stuff. I wanted a new, good car that had lots of gadgets. I thought "Yeah! Bluetooth sound system! Yeah I want a GPS already in there! Yeah I wanted something big and intimidating so I have plenty of space." But after seeing these, I actually stopped and thought "Hey, I don't need any of that. Why do I need any of these fancy gadgets? I'll never actually use them since I'm too busy driving." From that point on I turned my attention to more practical cars. Yes I wanted something good and relatively new, but I'd be happy with the cheapest car that got me to wear I need to be comfortably. No fancy bells and whistles
I think, out of all the review segments and short challenges they did on this show, this Mum Run challenge has to be one of the best! I love the dynamics of the mums and how well behaved the presenters are around them. Also it's a good perspective of these cars that isn't from the trio and instead from older people who would need extra considerations beyond how it looks and how fast it is. The old ladies are so sweet together and it's a great dynamic segment!
I love how tame the boys are around their Mummies. It would've been funny if James, Richard, and Jeremy had gotten petty with each other, and then gotten stern rebuking from their mothers for their behavior.
Such a cute segment - I love how Mrs. May knows what she's talking about! And now I'm kind of intrigued by what "Creamy Empire Chicken" is, on the menu at 4:05...
13 years after and… as always, MUMS WERE RIGHT! Renault Modus was a sales flop, and the Honda Jazz is still alive and kicking despite the recent SUV frenzy.
Their mums are probably the best guests they ever had on the show.

James, internally: "Fucking, _what?_ Viewers, are you hearing this?!"
How did it not become a meme?!
"That's why I don't, I was traumatised as a young boy in the back of a Mark I Cortina" is one of the funniest things James has ever said

This was an inspired bit of film-making. The dynamic between each of the presenters and their mums gives so much away about what they’re really like.

Lol
1:30... the apple was launched a few hundred kilometers from the May tree...
The look in Clarkson's face when his mother interrupts after 0:57 is hard to explain in a polite way.
It's like when he gets interrupted during a piece to camera by the director talking on the radio
Jeremy's Mum is such a lovely and very funny woman. May she Rest In Peace. And thanks Mum for not just spitting him out, we all enjoy him very much.

Mays mom shocked all of us when she started talking about how tires feel, how she is connected to a car is just amazing lol
