"It's upside down!"
"Yes, but it won't be when you're back home!"
Glad to see somebody got that down under reference
Love your profile pic.
I think the purposely did that to the Australian
Their humor is a decade ahead of its time.
I didn't get it??
"You didn't say we weren't allowed to bring a Jaguar propelled van."
Fair point.
They didn't even tell Richard about the Jaguar engine
its okay because he got a JAAAAAAAGGGG

You didn’t say I couldn’t cheat at school
"Slightly Turbo-Charged" Probably my all time favorite Top Gear quote!
Ian Thompson One of my favorites here is Bruce's quote 'what the hell is in that van...'
+grisznik Or 'You could've warned me, I had the shock of my life', though that's largely because of Hammond's delivery of the line.
appelpower1
Yeah, but 'what the hell is in that van' is the winner for me, the timbre of the voice, the disbelief...
grisznik Well, it's probably the better of the two...
appelpower1
Everyone can have their favorite, I'm just explaining why this wins for me, over the other one :)
I am watching this in Australia and it must have been very difficult for the UK guys to drive upside down.
Underrated comment
Definitely underrated.
Or to shower daily.
I like how James tries to grab the steering-wheel at 4:25 :D
+spidi150 hahahhhahahhaha

Also that... Airhorn "drugged Airhorn"
Twice 😂
So true
I love how Jodie Kidd yelled "Hammond!" like Jeremy does
I'm Australian and I still like the British top gear hosts way more
everyone does
Ash Leyden I think every one dose
apart from the new top gear hosts for uk!!!
(: ¡uᴉɐʇᴉɹq ɯoɹɟ ǝɹǝɥʇ ollǝH
I agree the new top gear sucks i liked the british one better
2:30 "we are racing against the flat earth society". So much lolz
BWithMist they would be right way up if earth was flat...
It's kinda scary when you think about it
@@_NikkyD_ iluminati
Which is really ironic considering the Flat Earth society doesn't believe Australia exist and that all Australian's are actors paid by NASA
@@ladydixon9651 thats because they r
The best speech WHAT THE HELL IS IN THAT VAN!
'slow down! You're not a racing driver, you're a photographer'!
Kids
"it's upside down! yes but it wont, when you go home and watch it on tv!" LOLOLOL Jeremy is hilarious
"You coulda warned me i got the shock of my life" - my favourite hammond line ever xD
1:09 "I'll prove to you it is *an van*
Luigi2012SM64 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😳😳
*_funny_*
Grammar 101 with Jeremy Clarkson
It's a bit late for telling, but as far as I know, it's Jeremy's way of delivery. He really have the habit of using "an" rather incorrectly. I guess, that way, he could stress more whatever the object is that he's going to tell. And in fairness, pragmatically, people will understand what he's saying without any problem. It's spoken, anyway...not written.
Hahahahahahahaa
They need to put those double decked cars in GTA online
Like a new race mode or something.
And all vehicles that appeared in that TV show (Leaning Tower Citroën, Peel P50, Electric Car etc).
@@mariodacostamosteiro7262 Oh yeah, but it would be more funnier if they make more vehicles similar to some Top Gear cars.
They are in WreckFest :))
i was thinking about that too while watching lol
The Van's engine was not stock, but it's ok, because the engine was from a Jaaaaag...
Top Gear reference
Hammond's reaction when that van went super-fast was just priceless.
This videos proves how superior uk top gear is, in a comedic way.
I'd still rather watch Auzzie TG than American TG
This entire episode was basically just putting the Aussies in their place
@@bonkersllama "in their place"? If you gotta cheat to prove you're better, you're not very good xD
@HappyLarry in what ways was there cheating?
@@monkeydui7241 ...what?
It is slightly turbocharged
I love how they crash into each other more than into anything else, across all episodes.
'You could have warned me, I got the shock of my life!'
Clearly Hammond didn't see anything unusual in a Ford Transit with XJ220 wheels, then.
It's like a Transit skin for the XJ220
The van had actually Jaguar XJ220 rims on its wheels as well.
In fairness, the version shown on Australian TV actually had them point out that the wheels looked familiar.
INEEDNAWZZZ Good of you to tell
Rims on its wheels? You mean it has xj220 wheels
5:30
*Darryn, just shut up and DRIVE!*
😂
Being upside down for a long time can get real dangerous real fast. I'm surprised nothing happened to them.
In truth, they felt like they were back home.
It gives you motion sickness not good.
But they lived in Australia tho so it's normal for them
It takes hours and hours for blood to pool in your head and your heart to suffer from the stress
ReaLLY not real.
Jeremy, richard, and James will always be the only true top gear hosts
I love how surprised hammond was. "You could've warned me!"
I don't even care about cars. I'm the type that says "it's a blue one" when someone asks about a car brand... but this is one of my favourite shows.
I love how they got to the point where the Top Gear team just wanted to beat each other.
"We're racing against the Flat Earth Society."
This show is so quotable.
"It even managed to beat you while carrying an engine in the back." XD
I came here for the Van!
I'm Australian, and I am just gonna say straight up, the Australian Top Gear was TERRIBLE!
US, OZ, And Korea should just leave the experts at the UK to do their job.
...Mind you, I did get a few laughs from Shane Jacobson.
I guess they're still better than TGUS...
they’re just bland. not bad just bland.
American top gear wasn't as awful as people say it was. it's just worse than uk top gear
@@gaocheng1 not bad, just worse than every other top gear
I'm from the UK and its not that we do it best, it's that JC RH & JM did it best. The new top gear without them is rubbish.
“Look at his hair!”
“We are...” 😂
4:29 James is searching for his steering wheel :D
Top Gear Australia is the only other Top Gear worth watching other than the originals
"what if you bang for fast twice? that's like slower" - "leave a pause". that's classic Top Gear, the kind of stuff that gives this show its flavor and the kind of stuff that keeps us tuned in :)
I love how they all forget about the turbo when Hammond says they could of warned him, they're just like a bunch of mates haha
When are we gonna see UK vs US, or UK vs Korea?.
Come on producers those are a ratings gold.
P.S. Top Gear vs Fifth Gear, come on its so obvious!
pbfloyd13 lets make a challenge where the presenters from fifth gear can only use fifth gear and make them race an 8 gear car XD
Ukvs us is coming this season
I guess never... :'(
pbfloyd13 We can't have UK vs US or anyone vs US because if the Americans will get offended, if you make a joke about their precious country.
Wow, I can’t believe how bad the Australians were, they only had to go against a “slightly turbocharged” van and in the second challenge we let them be on their right orientation.
LAWL "It is slightly turbocharged..."
Wow... this clip reminds me of my old van days so much... beating a car no one expected me to in a race, sharing driving duties... except we sat in the same seat, person on the right hand side steered that way, and operated the gas. the left was brake, and left turns. It actually worked quite well, though we never did it on a busy street, or in live traffic. Always late at night, on a barely used road. It was also really roomy inside, and whoever was on the right was always prepared to jump off, and leave it to the right. Man, I did some really stupid shit as a kid... Like parking-lot surfing. Stupid, but so much fun!
5:25 THAT’S UNBELIEVABLE IVE GOT NO HANDS! 😂😂
Barron, just shut up and drive!! 😂
James reaching for the wheel at 4:27 is hilarious!
I love the endless banter between Australia and England. It keeps both nations in check!
Strewth
“Bruce”
“Nigel”
Who mutilated an XJ220 to make that van?
***** It was a Jaguar test bench for the V6, according to Google.
***** I'd mutilate one of those hideous travesties any day. Worst car ever put out by Jaguar.
+PastaOverseer As far as Im aware, that engine now powers an Ice Cream van made by the same guy
Tyrm Lmao
+Taylor Wenslow Blasphemy !!
Yeah, I always get that up-down thing confused when I go to Europe.
videowilliams that might explain that guy I saw walking on the ceiling in that hotel in Warsaw.
@@Poud2 that or the LSD
i really love how the aussies take this waaaay to serious
1:42 That Laugh 🤣
"You've broken my window!" 😂 😂 Says no XJ40 owner ever haha.
08719823838 PAUIA CAII me how Vodafone going soon most misses
"I'VE GOT NO HANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
-waves both hands around-
"You could've warned me, I had the shock of my life". Hahaha
UK Top Gear rulesss !!!
love to watch all their reviews
Ha! I'm Australian and I still don't know who to go for when I watch this! 😂
Darren Lions freaking out is the best reaction ever 🤣🤣🤣
1:07 You can tell the Aussie lot have already seen the writing on the wall when they noticed the rims on the van.
Pretty sure the guy who was looking at them said what's this. And then they all asked what is that that must have known that Jaguar XJ220 wheels and then thought no it can't be and sure enough they were right.
I’m pretty sure every single person on set knew about the van having a xj220 engine in it before they saw the wheels.
Still one of the best episodes of top gear.
-"Are you the ones who are looking for a driver for a bank job?"
-"Is that your van over there?"
-"...ye?"
-"You hired"
Fun fact for you Darren Lyons is now (or was until recently) the mayor of one of the largest towns in the Australian state of Victoria.
I think that double-decker car race was the funniest thing I've seen in a LOOOOOONG time
At 4:08, that sound in the background is from the music in Diablo II Act-2 town music. Hah.
3:17 ITS THE MAYOR OF GEELONG!
As an Australian, I can confirm the Australian car that the upside down car idea is genius. I can finally see cars in the right way up.
I know! It’s a bit exhausting having to watch Top Gear upside down all the time. It was very kind of them to turn the Aussies the correct way up.
The van with the turbo charged jaguar engine is one of my favourite clips from top gear :D
Lol love how Jeremy is genuinely surprised once he pounds on the pedal.
this is just 7 and three quarter minutes of ashes sledging and i love it.
How could people possibly dislike this?
Lol love how James is genuinely surprised once he pounds on the pedal.
“with the Aussies the right way up” yes.
"It says Jaguar.....and its turb...two!" LOL
Finally Top gear in Full hd !
"What the hell is in that van?!"
this looks like so much fun! i love top gear
4:09 i feel lightheaded even seeing these men upside down
I immediately recognised the XJ 220 wheel caps ... this used to be my dream car when i was a kid!
Series 16, Episode 2 ;)
you're the best
god..i was really surprised on how fast that van went. lol can't stop laughing to the aussie's reaction!
That drag race was epic. Made me laughed like mad.
the expression of the guy who blew the horn is so sincere
Edd China made the "double cars".
Really?. Thanks for sharing
This is the real top gear and one of the many reasons I wont be watching the new "top gear" RIP. :(
Squiddy200 what about the gt show?
@@kyewilson7837 I'm from the future and it It has ended
I knew somethings up when I saw that xtra-wide rear tires on that van at 0:05... Wish my van had that engine...
What a crazy race!!!
I like all the tog gears from all the countries. They are all interesting in their own way.
u know the other problem with other topgear. the hosts r too cooperative and clever while uk's hosts try to kill each other and blithering idiot + james may's "oh cock" that'd be sarcasticly brilliant.
I like it when they al are laughing at Hamster for getting the shock of his life :D
i love your channel!!!
Top gear olympics U.K vs Korea vs Germany vs AUS vs China vs U.S.A
"It even managed to beat you whilst carrying an engine in the back" lol
Hahahahaha insane! I love them! XDDD I'm courious to drive upsid down, it really can mess around the references. Pretty cool episode!
New Top Gear VS The Grand Tour (make it happen)
New Top Gear would get obliterated.
New top gear will win because they have Chris Harris and The Grand tour for series 2 has lost Mike Skinner the American
@@cyburgin I don't think so because doing so you would have Abby Eaton face against Chris Harris a more experienced race car driver to much Chris Harris would end up winning
could someone explain the whole Nigel and Bruce thing?
Finding Nemo
Stereotypical names for uk and aus males in their opinion
I want the rally part! :D
Oh god, I love May grabbing for the wheel when he wasn't ready for the race to start.
"I'll prove to you that it is AN van"
lol I love the way the british top gear is doing everything so much better! and even more awesome and funny to xD
I always love the lack of enthusiasm the starters have.
4:30 I love how he keep forgetting about the steering wheel every episode
How is anything ever "slightly charged" hahaha
So the super fast traset van in forza is a refrence to this
I simply love Top Gear's 'tests' XD
That Ford is really fast and looks wonderful 👏👏👏 with Engine GR20
"Jaa-goo-wah"
