Welcome to the home of Top Gear Classic on RUclips! Want to see more of your favourite moments? Then make sure to subscribe: ruclips.net/channel/UCx6xmIOXqnQ79ZI6VVpARXw
i will see more of it regardless of what i do so im certainly not going to subscribe there is no incentive or need to it only benefits you not me so why ask me to do it. maybe youtube should have a rethink.
Can I ask, why keep posting the exact same versions with half the challenge cut out? Like, everyone was angry and dissappointed the first time, and then every time after that its the same thing. I mean, taskmaster can put up whole episodes of recent seasons and be perfectly fine. Top gear is still cutting out most of its challenges for a series that aired 16 years ago
If you're going to upload these, why not upload them in full? I understand if there's music you want to avoid playing but you stubbornly cut Jeremy saying "I'm gonna need a helluva lot of paint" at the beginning for no reason other than to save 2 seconds of video? Do this properly, please. If you do, you'll have so much more views on each video!
It's the British way, if we🇬🇧 are not insulting your country it means we🇬🇧 don't like you. So greetings from the UK to all the Australian and American fans of Top Gear yah c**t's 👍🙂
@@rohitklare9281I am not sure the international variants existed at the time. The OG series popularised the format before it went global. I think its them just ragging on countries with weird trucker cultures.
@@jonsmith5058This isnt the original series though, it is the revived top gear. Revived series one was HAMMOND and clarkson, and I think may came in from series 2.
The powerslide challenge was a great demonstration of how underpowered Clarkson, Hammond and May's trucks were lol. If anything they need at least a couple thousand horsepower to light up those big tires.
"... so it has a flat floor and that means, it's easier to fit the carpet." Similar vibes to the levels of interest they showed towards their vehicles in Burma special with other trucks or Vietnam special where they used motorbikes (and a scooter). 😁
At 3:41 you can still hear a remnant of the song, Bon Scott singing "no stop signs" from the second verse. Guess that was too tricky to remove fully from the mix
He did it because he dont want BBC smash his videos due copyright on songs or uploading them in unedited version. This video actually have 2 parts which he only showed part 1 from it. Part 2 challenge is Top Speed test on Bowl track, Uphill-start test and crash test on any kind of obstacles they choose for.
@@hartonosutrisno5452 that makes no sense whatsoever. This RUclips Channel IS an official BBC controlled channel. Also, the BBC are not the copyright holders for ACDCs music. The real reason is probably that they bought a license to use the song on the show, but that did not include any duplicates or edits shared on the internet or elsewhere. Licensing deals are usually extremely specific about the use.
Yep.... fortunately they did continue on with The Grand Tour. So there are multiple seasons of that to watch. Though they did all just retire with the last episode earlier this month.
this is what got me into Top Gear years ago - incredibly thankful to have stumbled across this and share these memories with my dad. Forever grateful for these lads
"Not double clutchin' like you should" Those big transmissions aren't synchronized. You can't just jam on it. You gotta double clutch or float shift it.
Wonderful times in life. When the final episode of The Grand Tour airs in the next coming weeks - truly an end of a monumental time in Sunday evenings and life with these 3. Glad we get to see them doing their own separate things but this will never be replicated, nor should it try to be. Thank you Jeremy, James and Richard.
Idk why they are calling this Top Gear Classic. This is the only Top Gear…every other unfortunate attempt at a show to carry the same name just wasn’t and literally nobody watched it.
Clarkson's lorry, after he spruces it up, immediately reminded me of Goliath from Knight Rider. It was a lorry or a semi for us Americans, that basically faced off against KITT and absolutely wrecked KITT in their first meeting. The episodes with CARR and Goliath were definitely my favorites in that show.
Gay AND friendly Indian look. Tbh hammond gives gay energy and has a twink build and dont get me started the way he filled out that tan romper/jumpsuit 💅🏻
First watched this when it was originally broadcast and thought lorry driving looked pretty easy. At least a lot easier than these turnips made it appear. Now sat in the angry seat of an artic cab, bemusedly rewatching many years later my hubris is not lost on me.
What a machine that one ! Almost give you chills its so good. The sounds of the engine, the shape and aesthetics of the body , and then to top it all off its built to the hilt. Wonderful
What timeless content. I do wonder if in years to come this will be looked at in same way we view other timeless classics like laurel and hardy, only fools and horses etc.

@@RickySpanish-RS you must be fun at parties
- "the gear leaver's gone up my arse"
- "alright, ok"
I haven't heard that line in YEARS and what a joy to laugh at that again
'After the gear lever has been removed from Jeremy's bottom' I love how calm James' voice is for this line after, it's never not funny.
@@tommoex bruh so true James said it like it was a normal thing LOLOL
-after cleaning my lunch from my windscreen
Love to see a remake with Tesla Semi ! 😎 No gear levers in sight.
"Does understeer, this lorry" gets me every time haha
That whole episode was full of perfect lines!
are youmy father?
The one that gets me is, “I absolutely hope that when James May wakes up in the morning that 10,000 insects are in his underpants.”
Oversteer might be even worse 😅
Nah @@TopGearClassic, it's better because you don't see the tree that deletes you
This channel will rightly blow up because this is the ONLY Top Gear anyone cares to rewatch
well said
indeed
Indeed, either this classic Top Gear or Grand Tour
The Chris Harris stuff is great and Joey did a good turn too.
@@stewrooin comparison to sings of praise maybe?
1:55 “less developed countries like Australia and America” I love how the old top gear would poke fun at everyone 😂
think that’s directed to top gear america and top gear australia 😂

“After the gear lever had been removed from Jeremy’s bottom…” 😂😂
James has the funniest voice overs lol
a serious medical procedure...
bottom gear obviously
Bottom gear
"The suspension linkage has come off"
"On your leg?"
"Noo on the lorry" 💀😆
The shot of Jeremy barreling past and his entire lorry on fire was an era defining moment for 13 year old me 😂
bro facts as a kid I was so amazed by that, as an adult Jeremy is a mad lad LOL
Nearly peed my pants laughing the first time I saw it! Only bested by May checking his trailer load, "Ah."😂
@@heatherhodge1590 that was my favorite part honestly!! when the car fell out I started dying🤣🤣
@@prodyung829 its CGI, he just drove normally
mate literally the same. i can remember it vividly on that sunday night loool
Can’t wait for my comment to be seen 16 years later on this video
History repeats itself
ye
Gonna book myself in here to come back in 10+ years
We shall be here again with you in 16 years brother
Let me join in!
5:46 "Have you done something to your leg as well?"
"Yeah, the gear level has gone up my arse"
"Right, okay"
Gold 🤣
After enough time in EMS, you’re not *really* listening to the patient, especially when the answer to your question begins with “the gear lever…”
Missing: hill start, crash test, the joke about murdering prostitutes.
And hitching the trailers
@@thepaddockengineerthat was the best part, especially Hammond’s
@@scottyscott9965 someone get the forklift !
@@scottyscott9965And May’s laugh as well :D
"... And it's a hard job - change gear, change gear, change gear, check your mirrors, murder a prostitute, change gear, change gear, murder..."
"Yes, I know. It's bad."
"Well, it's worse than that..."
Never thought I'd ever hear myself wheezing but here we are xD
That scene was so funny
Oh that is quite bad now isn’t it? 14:00 💀
You reckon eh😂
undersratement of the century
Yeah it is, that's on fire
They were slightly better at driving delivery vans.
"Does understeer this lorry"
The powerslide challenge was a great demonstration of how underpowered Clarkson, Hammond and May's trucks were lol. If anything they need at least a couple thousand horsepower to light up those big tires.
James wanted to kill Jezza im pretty sure
@@KEMYSScs2 There's a scene in series 14 where James held a machete and threatened Jeremy with it
@@TheSilverShadow17 Well, Jeremy did nearly heavily injured James there.
Will never understand why people repeat what we've all just watched 🙄
8:15 “Somebody get a move on up there cause if I have start from the beginning of my gears again, I’ll kms” 😂
I thought he said I’ll “kms”😂😂
13:17 BBC looking at Top Gear when the trio left.
"Is that bad for my ratings?"
"Yeah! More to the point, where's the show?"
“What have you got?”
“A lorry.”
“What sort?”
“A big one!”
Still one of my favorite bits from this show.
“well, clearly”
"... so it has a flat floor and that means, it's easier to fit the carpet." Similar vibes to the levels of interest they showed towards their vehicles in Burma special with other trucks or Vietnam special where they used motorbikes (and a scooter). 😁
I used to drive truck
What sort
A really big one
It doesn't matter how many times I rewatch this clip, but the Micra flying out the back of Hammond's truck always cracks me up. 😂😂😂
until you notice the 2 people in the trailer who pushed it out
James crashing into Jeremy's lorry
Jeremy: "You..!!"
James: "Does understeer, this lorry"
pure gold
13:09 "its worse than that" 😭 ts is a comedy show
That was a true British Understatement
This Top Gear (Clarkson, May, Hammond) is pure gold, and has aged and will age like a fine wine! Legends all three of them!🙌
This has got to be the best channel created this year, never seen these videos in good quality and i have to say its amazing
That Lotus jump at 6:27 was crazy! I miss the old top gear :(
Definitely!
Certainly!
For sure
Indubitably.
3:22 cheeky song change. Used to be highway to hell
Probably a rights thing.
At 3:41 you can still hear a remnant of the song, Bon Scott singing "no stop signs" from the second verse. Guess that was too tricky to remove fully from the mix

Change gear, change gear, murde, change gear, change gear
😂
That’s a lot of effort in a day
Suspiciously absent from this clip
4:09 a rare shot of James May running on television
He also ran in that Renault car episode
"Hammond was just squashing the finishing line"
That line always gets me.
11:05 some of the best camerawork in the history of television
They sure were good at improptu stuff.
If only they were that good with Wildlife Photography 😜🤣
1:10 "It's uhhh... It's, it's an ERF!" 😂
"This was hopeless..."
-also a MAN
The word “emergency” is without a doubt used more often than the word “car” on this show. Love it.
Ever since watching this years and years ago, i have now become a truck driver and can appreciate this even more
BBC finally realised the Top Gear, people actually enjoy to watch. God I wish they never stopped.
Ditto! I was searching for this comment
either that or they are desperate for money
It stopped because Jeremy was sacked, so the other two left as well.
Yep.... fortunately they did continue on with The Grand Tour. So there are multiple seasons of that to watch. Though they did all just retire with the last episode earlier this month.
1:30 "Did you just buy a shed?". Iconic
The Trio’s episodes are now officially classics.
When Richard says "what colour is it?" 😭
"In exactly just over 3 minutes", i liked that.
One thing about this channel we'll get the classic clips in a better resolution.
Thank goodness I got recommended this video and channel.
James had gone for a gay and friendly Indian look… and I hadn’t
I love the music shift.
Yep the bbc edited the og challenge so that it's 'legal friendy' 😢😢
what did they change?
@@AnItalianGuyOnYT They removed Clarkson's bit about lorry drivers unaliving ladies of the night.
@@Gordanovich02 Change gear, change gear, murder a prostitute, change gear
@@Gordanovich02change gear change gear ….ifykyk
Are you serious? Removing banter/jokes now. What has this world come to
Retired Canadian Truck Driver here(25+years)... ROFL... hahahaha Wishing I could have had a go at that race...
There will always only be one Top Gear cast in my humble opinion. Thank you UK, for this priceless contribution to car culture. 🍻 from Florida!
This is the only Top Gear i care about 🙏🏻. "cried bcz of the memories".
More love❤ from SA 🇿🇦
this is what got me into Top Gear years ago - incredibly thankful to have stumbled across this and share these memories with my dad. Forever grateful for these lads
10:53 Jeremys genius is frightening sometimes
One of the best episodes ever on Top Gear.
The Black Renault looks pretty brutal to be honest 😅😎
That Renault reminds me of Goliath from Knight Rider, but even more intimidating 😈
This Legendary Lorry Challenge... Basically ETS2 Multiplayer in Real Life
"just squashing the finishing line" was a piece of understated genius. I had to rewind to be sure of what I'd heard.
"Not double clutchin' like you should" Those big transmissions aren't synchronized. You can't just jam on it. You gotta double clutch or float shift it.
Particularly with these older ones. You get a different license for those here in Australia. Which I have.
No other show has ever or will ever be this good and it's all thanks to those three legends
Love how Jeremy never realized his lorrey was on fire even after he stopped and got out :D
Finally a HD video. It's been ages since it came out but still many people love to watch it again & again.
11:42 omg that timing, I'm dying
Watching this so many years after it originally aired, makes me think of how GOOD we really had it. Iconic
even the bbc knows no one gives a damn about the new top gear
Wonderful times in life. When the final episode of The Grand Tour airs in the next coming weeks - truly an end of a monumental time in Sunday evenings and life with these 3. Glad we get to see them doing their own separate things but this will never be replicated, nor should it try to be. Thank you Jeremy, James and Richard.
This really showcases James’s underrated driving skills!
I will miss these trio. Thanks for the journey 😢
2:24 that's one hell of a shot, Jeremy's truck looks straight up menacing
It looks like the garbageman garbage truck in the tmnt 2003 episode
it looks like it has broken shaders
@michaelhawke7689 yeah but does his lorry look like it
I like to say thank you for uploading this to RUclips regardless BBC despite hating them at least you see the importance of the three of them
4:52
Hammond: Ah, me bonnet! Driven over my own bonnet!
XD!
These three are the definition of the perfect trio. Will truly miss them.
They did a lot of Editing, in the original video at 3:29 AC DC highway to hell is playing.😢
i've noticed this too lmao, in fact you can still hear a snippet at 3:40
For copyright reasons
Copyright is a pain
The dog kennel on Hammond's lorry had me exploding in laughter back then and it still has me now, all these years later!!! 😂🤣🤟
Love how hammond painted his blue to fit in and everyone else changed colors
Jeremy’s all black Renault actually looks pretty badass. Kinda reminds me of Robotnik’s truck from the 1st Sonic The Hedgehog movie.
2:08 The fact that they announced the *secret* alpine test location in *Bedfordshire*
Its lovely that the classic top gear is finally easily accessible. Will likely be coming back to this channel quite frequently
11:50 peak non-verbal comedy right here
Watching this years later, it’s still amazing.
Idk why they are calling this Top Gear Classic. This is the only Top Gear…every other unfortunate attempt at a show to carry the same name just wasn’t and literally nobody watched it.
Lower Gear
It doesn't mean this era is top gear classic, it means that 3 men failing at TG challenges is classic top gear.
Golden Gear
Clarkson's lorry, after he spruces it up, immediately reminded me of Goliath from Knight Rider. It was a lorry or a semi for us Americans, that basically faced off against KITT and absolutely wrecked KITT in their first meeting. The episodes with CARR and Goliath were definitely my favorites in that show.
I’ve always loved “how can we be this Rubbish?!”😂
2:20 „james had gone for a gay look” i just cant stop laughing😂
Gay AND friendly Indian look. Tbh hammond gives gay energy and has a twink build and dont get me started the way he filled out that tan romper/jumpsuit 💅🏻
I want the episodes to be released in full with this quality
That black matte finish looks sick
These 3 guys will be seriously missed!
I just noticed James says "Hammond's just squashing the finishing line" at 12:47 lmao. This channel is a godsend, thank you sir.
First watched this when it was originally broadcast and thought lorry driving looked pretty easy. At least a lot easier than these turnips made it appear. Now sat in the angry seat of an artic cab, bemusedly rewatching many years later my hubris is not lost on me.
11:05 - Turns out Hammond indeed could power slide his lorry
What a machine that one ! Almost give you chills its so good. The sounds of the engine, the shape and aesthetics of the body , and then to top it all off its built to the hilt. Wonderful
11:47 my Amazon delivery guy when I don't tip him:
It’s good that there’s a top gear classic channel now because I used to watch top gear as a child and I was in love with cars because of them ❤
I think 5:54 was symbolic that Jeremy has been deflowered 😂
I think this and the botswana special have to be my favourite episodes they ever did.
2:41 wtf, hammond is a real knucklehead
I dont wanna know what that snake is gonna do to that women..
Hawk tuah
So wait, your telling me this is a new BBC Top Gear channel showing clips in HD .... Hell yes!
5:19 it doesn't work.
Yeah i belive it doesn't work
I FORGOT THIS EPISODE EXISTED.
You are a legend for uploading these
I know they changed the music for when the Stig shows up cause the Original footage used Highway to Hell by ACDC
Yesss!! They shouldn’t have change it tho!! Should remain original 😢 but ok the part where I really missed was when they first saw their trucks 😂
@@MotorMindsUnleashed Copyright :(
@@robthemodYT sad 😢
Watching old top gear videos are like pilgrimage for me
'What colour is it James?' 😂
These guys taught me English. I am German. This was the first time I nearly shat my pants from laughing.
The best Top gear
In 20 years from now our kids will be watching these clips just as we do, this trio is immortal.
the straw and electric fire had me laughing hard LOL who's idea was that?!?!
What timeless content. I do wonder if in years to come this will be looked at in same way we view other timeless classics like laurel and hardy, only fools and horses etc.
Have to watch this in 144p, anything higher feels wrong
13:08 the slight echo of the empty trailer killed me
