We literally got China addicted to opium, destroyed their Navy, burned down the Emperors palace and took possession of several ports, including Hong Kong, just so we could obtain more tea from them. Britains addicted to tea is no joke.
8:05 As the big ship is off their Port side, technically Jeremy has right-of-way. But I do have to imagine that size also plays a role, that more maneuverable vessels (a pickup truck with an outboard motor) must give way to less maneuverable vessels (a 34,000 ton ferry). But my final answer is that the ferry must give way to Jeremy, as maritime law states that vessels in distress always have right of way, which I would assume extends to vessels that have a 99% chance of being in distress at any second.
If we think back to the original challange, Hammond sank first, down at the head(bow), similar to the titanic style Then Clarkson capsized, like the Britannic, and may, the only one that didn't go under, the Olympic
You're in the cold sea, carrying a warm drink. If you think the idea of warming yourself up is an oddly British thing to do then your country must be cold.
We didn't realize how lucky we were when we had these three on the BBC. The grand tour is great, but the original chemistry these three had was magical.
They lost a lot of the production talent that made the show what it was when they left the BBC. I also think the relationship between the three became a little strained after the whole debacle. I think May and Hammond were mad that Jeremy got the show canned with his behaviour and it took a while to repair the relationships, I know May kept saying he wanted to stop doing TGT after each series but I guess the Amazon money was too much to turn down.
if one was to really carry that out till the end it would be nearly perfect, closed roof, all the advantages of a boat, including a place for the girls (:))
I was shaking my head in despair, because they could have vastly improved on the designs and prevented some flaws with only a minimal bit of brainpower. - Clarkson: HYDROFOILS to stabilize the thing which would allow him to actually use more of his massive power. - May: two side-mounted "keels" instead of cutting open the car for a center mounted one. - Hammond: bilge-pump and some outriggers to stabilize the vertical design. It took me milliseconds to figure those out, but they were rubbish on purpose.
This is the absolute peak of Top Gear for me - it was still pretty unprecedented TV at the time, the antics didn't feel staged (probably because we hadn't seen stuff like this before as much as anything else), it was just a comfy time knowing you were going to see something amazing every time you tuned in.
Richard: "And this is where the girls go. U-up here." Jeremy: "No, Richard!" Richard: "In bikinis." Jeremy: "I'm already seeing the problem. Would you like to step down?"
3:29 I love Clarksons face here. He just realizes how bad all their boats are and the fact he has to cross a 22 mile long channel. I bet he’s just thinking to himself… “Shit”
+pokemaster123ism Ye and you can also tell by what it looks like he's probably saying it cause he watched the first vid and now he thinks tho is the same keep
I REALLY wanna see them do this challenge again. I think they could pull it off a second time. I think Hammond had the right idea, and May just needed the right wind conditions.
Vladpryde i think they should invest in making the hovervan be able to cross the channel can you imagine the size of the engines they would need, and the fuel tank lol
"You will now drive to Dover, and then you will cross the channel to France." I can't help but notice the lack of instructions regarding not using the Channel Tunnel, or a cross-Channel ferry.
@@caboose.20 Step 1: Drive to Dover. Step 2: Drive to Folkestone. Step 3: Drive onto train. Step 4: Wait. Step 5: Arrive in France. Instructions followed to the letter. I don't remember saying anything about the Tunnel not being a railway tunnel, or about it being in Dover.
@@caboose.20 I don't see how. I made no comment either way, so, the implication is that I meant whichever I believed to be the correct case (which was that the Tunnel is a railway tunnel from Folkestone, not a road tunnel from Dover). Why are you taking this so seriously, anyway? My original comment was just meant to be a bit of light-hearted pedanticism, not a serious suggestion that they actually should have used the Tunnel or a ferry.
1:20 Clarkson: Now, Richard....I'm already seeing a problem. Would you like to step down? Richard: Yes. Clarkson: Stand at the wheel. Richard: Yes. Clarkson: Now look ahead. Richard: ......yeah that is an issue
I gotta be honest, this is an incredible example of the engineering process. They all set out with the same goal, they each failed in a different way, then they each set about refining their ideas, then tested them again, only to fail once more.

Those three continuously honered the automobile in such magnificent ways. Top Gear just was a neverending homage to the car and let the world see cars are far more than just a tool to get from a to b, with this as its greatest triumph I think: crossing the North Sea in a pickup truck. But don't forget the other indestructable Hilux, the car that almost made it to space, all the "car vs plane/boat/etc." races, the expeditions, the "cars under 1500 pound" challenges and frankly every other little homage to the car or any part of it (the V8 blender comes to mind). So many Top Gear top tips and useful consumer advice. A must watch for car lovers.
I'm an American, but I've got to say Top Gear UK rules. I always thought they are technically knowledgeable, interesting as people, and had fascinating subject matter. Their sense of humor, of course, is second to none. But to cross the English Channel in an outboard-driven Nissan pickup takes huge brass cojones! WELL DONE, Top Gear!

"Oh, sorry mate, the cup sank."
