On a trip to Arnhem in the Netherlands in the late 90s, I popped over the border in my Vauxhall Senator and briefly went up to 160mph (257kph) on the Autobahn. An amazing experience. ;-)
I did 147mph on the autobahn from Stuttgart to Hanover and got flashed at by a black Porsche to get out of his way! The roads are fantastic,and the road holding is superb.
“What about us in World War Two?” Answered very well by our national treasure Alan Bennett in ‘Beyond The Fringe’ sixty or more years ago: “And then the Americans and Russians asked if they could join in …” I believe it had a very successful run in New York too so no unfriendly comments from that direction please!
In UK the speed limit is only 70mph, 80 is nothing for Germany compared to no limit lol, people who can drive fast, do lol. If you drive too slow on the Autobahn you get a ticket XD
It’s not just English people, the rest of them are all guilty of it. Andy Murray is a prime example, Scot’s will always call him scottish but they wouldn’t call Tyson Fury, Lewis Hamilton English but rather British, it works both ways.
I would say that most English people would be called British throughout the UK, as England seems to have become synonymous with Britain. If a Scottish person, for example, called an English person British, they wouldn't be claiming the English person, as a lot of Scottish people don't identify as British.

I think it was the walkie-talkie building that was zapping cars. It has a convex surface that was focussing sunlight like a magnifying lense. I think they resolved the problem by applying a tinted wrap.
They were complaining about the suggested 80mph speed limit because the Autobahn in Germany has NO SPEED LIMIT. You can go whatever speed you want as long as you're safe.
5:15 are not inside jokes, but international ... it is an "Egyptian consortium" so instead of "Aston Martin" they said "Abdul Martin" and then the "special price" with the accent made fun of the haggling culture in the Egyptian markets :)
Indeed, you really are getting better at knowing where English counties are. Impressive mate, most Brits would struggle to have sensible guesses for where Hammond was pointing on that map...
Spain eats so much fish. Their fleets range far and wide fishing on an industrial scale in the Med and the Atlantic. By far the largest in the European Union. Also have somewhat of a reputation for their "whatever" attitude to fishing regulations. Hence the several Clarkson digs at Spanish fishermen.
And even those have been outsourced. The production at the LEGO factory in Denmark was halved, due to production costs, the operations in Germany have been entirely scrapped. The four largest LEGO factories are now in China, Hungary, Czech Republic and Mexico. In 2025 there will be one in the US (Virginia).
Countries which build cars: Germany, France, Italy, Japan, USA, India, China. Don't forget that FIAT (an Italian company which owns Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Lancia) acquired Chrysler in 2014.

I have driven at 107moh from Manchester to Birmingham, it took me 50mins to get back. Also drove at 125mph on M54, I wouldn’t do it now tho. Looking back I see why it was stupid. But I was young and daft back then. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
No, Denmarks' main expoort is NOT semanb. "The main Danish exports include foodstuffs, machinery, instruments, packaged medicaments, different types of machinery". BUT they may be the world's biggest exporeter of human semen owing to other countries' privacy laws (i.e. the donors in Denmark can remain anonymous).
I appreciate your channel. I feel like you are one American reactor who doesn't fake your reaction for likes. I really find some hard to watch. Just enjoy what you enjoy. We are all different in our tastes
Denmarks biggest export is not semen. From all the countries that do export semen Denmark is the biggest per capita. They are not exporting millions of tons of it. Their actual biggest export is packaged medicaments (medicines, prophylactics, supplements etc. that are individually packaged).
Clarkson is right about us claiming success from Scotland, Ireland etc. Your earlier video you posted about greatest Brits, I noticed you mentioned Bono on the list. He's Irish (from the Republic) - not even part of the UK, let alone England! Irish wouldn't be too happy 😅
Yeah but most famous English people are called brits are well. You don’t hear about famous English inventors or war generals or actors etc etc they’re called British so it’s the same for all of us really.
@@charpost62 I can understand why Americans might not think France as most French cars do not sell in America, they won't have heard of companies like Renault or Peugeot... Probs too complicated for them to pronounce or spell anyway lol
Haven't you heard of Rolls Royce? There are lots of different car makes made in Britain. A lot of them are expensive makes like Jaguar and Morgan sports cars. The Morgans are still made by hand.
The thing is European drivers actually know how to drive and are trained. Take an Uber Taxi in London. The driver is usually Mohammed and you realise the high standards of European drivers and how grateful you are to say “thank you, bye. Phew”.
Yes we used to have a car industry in Australia until Prime Minister Tony Abbott wouldn't give them the support they asked for so they all left 😭 But we are still making military Bushmasters to donate as aid to the Ukraine.

They are referring to the fact that buying anything in North Africa usually involves haggling over the price. 12:18 The Cod Wars were indeed a series of fishing disputes with Iceland between 1952 and 1976. However, when the UK joined the EU, it gave any EU country the right to fish in UK waters. The French and the Spanish took full advantage of this.

Everybody goes over 70mph, I’ve never met anyone who sticks to 70.
If you drive "too slow" anywhere you can get a ticket.

FWIW, Richard Hammond lives in Herefordshire - so you were pretty close, and he pointed a bit further north than where he lives. :)

Ah yes, well the Spanish nick our fish. We tried to nick the Icelandic fish but they stopped us as we'd scrapped our navy.

the egg shaped building is known to everyone as the Gherkin (which is a kind of pickled cucumber)

We wouldn't loose the oil because they would be a tiny country with no military and no money to pump the oil out with

I believe Denmark is the biggest tyre producer in the world. Lego tyres, so not that much rubber, but still.

The Shard is a great piece of design. I don't mind the 'Walkie-Talkie'. When you say 'easter egg', do you mean the Gherkin?
To him it would be the pickle 😂
The "Walkie Talkie" building also has the nickname of The Nokia.

motorway cruising speed in the uk is about 85 mph the speed limit is 70 so if the limit was 80 it would probably end up being over 100 here
