3:39 never heard a more genuine laugh at the misfortune of others
And I love how Hammond feebly consoles him. 😆
There's a word for it - schadenfreude 😉
"It's nice!" - Hammond's hilarious tone of voice
It becomes 10x funnier when you remind yourself what James thinks of the French 🤣
That Citroën was later bought off of the BBC by May because he grew to love it so much, making it May’s equivalent of Oliver!
I'm guessing he has fond memories of the "Love Boat".
They all bought their cars here off the BBC
@@mikeshearer1250 Hammond certainly had a good reason to buy the old Lanchester.
What type of Citroën was it?
@@Cladcreeper Ami
"Still, at least my car wasn't Medieval."
Nightwing Caliber I thought that was what he said. Thank you for the clarification
I thought he said made in evil
What a dismal racket Lol
My dad got me a new Bugatti it’s got a staggering 1 horse power
.
4:05 when the Auctioneer subtlety laughed at James 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
and at 4:14 when the people behind james laugh at him
Dean get your grammar right at least lol
@@tafadzwasanya1616 yours isn't correct either
I didn't not carining about grammar. Im in Norfuk
@@rickdubbink yes it is
The three 'stages' of Jeremy laughing at James is great.
1) the laugh of surprise at hearing it's the last lot.
2) the laugh of amusement at James's panic.
3) the laugh of hilarity when he sees the dire Citroen.
What cracks me up - in addition to these - is the auctioneer's laugh (never mind the other buyers/audience).
They did everything you're not supposed to do at a car auction:
1) Don't bid on the first thing you see (unless its a unicorn of course)
2) Don't get into a bidding war and go above budget
3) Never wait till the end thinking you're going to get exactly what you want
That's why I don't take part in auctions. I would if I could just buy it outright and if necessary out bid anyone else for it.
Yeah with Top Gear's track record with equines a literal unicorn would be a bad idea
SHUT UP
To be fair, it was kind of a strategic move on Hammonds part by bidding on the very first car since the people there probably knew not to bid on the first car lol
You my dear friend are forgetting one tiny little thing that influenced their decisions. BBC Money.
I love how even the auctioneer was laughing at James having to bid on the Citroen😂
The voice crack he had at 1200 😂😂😂
I wonder if Richard met his wife that way.
LOL
Lol but his missus looks pretty nice. Maybe he got lucky one night.
COBRA 10 sorry mate
"hiya love how ya doin"
LG Work wot
One of them should have gone for that Cortina
James Porter if my brother was a presenter with them , he will
I wouldn’t have
Charlotte Dunois I see you literally everywhere lmao
I like TG :)
Charlotte Dunois who doesn't
4:14 The laughter from all the guys in this scene was priceless.
4:36 i always found it fascinating how they can just eyeball how many cylinders the car is running on just by sound
May should have taken that Cortina while he had the chance
Its too basic for him
oh you know him...
It went up to 5000
0-60 in 31.7 seconds! 😂😂😂
No joke, i guessed 32.
i actually thought he just says no, he cant even get to 60mph
I thought 6 minutes dam was i wrong
At that point you might as well walk
@@Ersy90 That depends how high the cliff is.
Clarkson's laugh when that bright blue Citroen rolled out xD
4:14 The laughter from all the guys in this scene was priceless.
It becomes 10x funnier when you remind yourself of James' beliefs about the French 😂
Pause at exactly 4:14 and you will perfectly capture the chemistry between these three and how it radiates around them.
You also capture the three blokes in the back laughing at James' misfortune so it is perfect.
3:32 always loved how the auctioneer glanced up at James when he said "the last lot!"
"While Hammond was having a who do you think you are moment"😂😂😂😂
That guy in the back of May just enjoyed laughing at every decisions made by those three 😂😂😂
He got a front row seat to a live Top Gear show.
That whole auction scene didn't include any driving or any information about any car, but it was way, way more entertaining than the new top gear series combined.
If you laugh genuinely on a car show, that car show is the shit.
IKR
Chris Evans is terrible....full stop....and ginger
Clarkson's top gear had me laughing all the time and was a pretty good car show imo
Baskentli those were the golden years of top gear. Even the grand tour doesn’t compare. They were right in their stride and it was glorious
@@agreen182 Yeah but the Grand Tour is still a million times better than the new Top Gear.
4:24 "It's like driving around in a radiogram!"
~interior of car looks *just like* a 1930's HMV radiogram~
James May: Slow, but always 100% correct.
Always right, untill it comes to his sense of direction.
Richard was right about the night club thing because James didn’t bid and was left with a car he didn’t want 🤣
James should have got that purple Triumph Spitfire. It would work nicely in the warm weather of Mallorca.
LukeInside *Majorca
@@tomaszlosinski875 Mallorca is the Spanish spelling. Majorca is the English spelling. ;-)
@@tomaszlosinski875 mallorca
I wonder if he knew he'd spend two days racing with a glamour model riding shotgun, he would do thus.
It's a Triumph; they'll rust in the Sahara; & overheat in the Arctic.
The Spitfire looked gorgeous. I would have loved to see more of it.
I get so happy when I watch Richard realize the car has heritage in his family
they should have bought the ford
Dev Gopalan a 4th presenter who wants to win then yes he/she will take that Cotina
Who would buy a cortina?!
Someone who loves rallying ?
Me. For that money a bargain
They should Bought the beetle type 1 !
3:30 The best part by far.
Wolfgang 101 WhAt?
@@andreafusco9416 I think he means 3:39
“Seriously, what do I do cause I don’t want it! I DONT WANT IT!” 🤣🤣
I love Jeremy’s laugh when the Citroen comes out, it’s so genuine 😂
That laugh at 3:39 is priceless
Jeremy: "Oh my God, what have i done?"
XD!!!
"What a dismal racket"
Still one of the sickest burns in TV history.
2:57 😂
James: Why did u bid on that u halfwit
Jeremy: it's with ur number
James: oh I see... HA HA HA HA HA
Should have gone for the courtina
I love that the auction guy is laughing at James buying that POS!
5:34 that face May makes 😂😂so happy/proud
If I was one of them I 100% would've gone for that Cortina.
3:40 the best you’re screwed laugh
Aw mate 😂😂😂
4:05 - You know it's a dog when even the auctioneer is laughing.
"1000 POUNDS!"
"giveittome"
"Thank you, Sir!"
2:45 "You like the color, bid" HAHAHAHAH
There will never be a TV show like this ever again in our life time. Still hilarious with the trio😂
I'm wondering if Hammond still having the taxi.
He cheated on it with Oliver.
He's the bloke off fake taxi
@@dankenport2485 OUCH
Remember when he brought that little thing (Oliver) back from Africa (Batswana, I looked it up) or south America or wherever the hell it was. Well, not only does he still have it he had it completely restored. But then again, Hamster is an American and we get attached.
@@servicarrider hamster isn't American he was born in Birmingham
The sear displeased sound of “I don’t want that 3:47
3:33 last lot
I happened on this show and decided to have it on in the background as I worked. I didn't get any work done!! These guys are so funny and I love how you don't need to know anything about cars in order to enjoy this show. This challenge is one of the best.
Top Gear was great! Still loving the charme of those elderly dudes.
Great programme, one of my favourites on TV. This episode was hilarious.
Regardless of how many times I see this, I still cackle with Clarkson when that blue Citroen comes rolling in 😂
2:29 "Oh my god. What have i done" I love that phrase, I'll take it with me for the rest of my life.
"You'll see, my patience will be rewarded."
Cit.James May
man that spitfire was sick
3.00 I love how James mellows when he sees its his sign
'Did you just bid on that you halfwit!?'
'Yeah with your number'
'Oh i see' 😂😂
I missed the old top gear. Superb show
0:26
"What is that? "
"A London taxi." 😂😂😂
😂😂 I lost it when Jeremy said that
We remember this one! This was one of our favorite episodes, absolutely hilarious!😂🎧
They should have done auctions more than once! This was brilliant
what a dismal racket 😂
"oh my god what have I done!" LMAO
I had one of those citroen dyane ! all 600cc of slow and sure , it even carried a mobile disco for awhile , (once I'd taken the back seat out of it ) , it even had adjustable head-lights on it !!!! I love that little citroen . happy days
5:31 Fun fact: The Citroen 2CV used a very similar mechanism back at this time as well.
when jeremy bids against that guy with the blue shirt
what do you expect?
you think you would win? he probably earn 3k in one week XD
+Andrew Timothy while on top gear he made 80k a month + expenses so thats 20k a week :)
not to mention all other stuff like magazine and advertising and stuff XD
I think he was making the equivalent to over $2,000,000 US per year just a few years ago.
It's a way some bid wars are made. Make the other guy burn through enough money to "knock him out" of the other items.
They make a hell of a lot more money now on the Grand Tou
That pause that Jeremy has of realisation after Richard called his car a midget is gold😂
These 3 can be doing anything in the world and people will love watching it.
"While Richard was having Who do you think you are? moment...."
Haha.... So funny 😂😂😂
I said 30 seconds for 0-60
Axl me too lol
Same lmao
I just said "No"
well you were wrong cus it was 31 lmao
I was expecting "never"
I will never get tired of these three laughing at each other
I would definitely have gone for the Triumph Spitfire; that thing looked awesome.
This is a truly great show; love it even though I'm not much of a car guy.
i like when they start the show with buy they car first
1:33 - Guy in a HSV Shirt!!
Frostytf 3 cars are all Australian and a 4th is an Australian built Chevy
Frostytf
Commodore, Ute & Caprice: Australian designed, engineering and manufactured.
Up until this month the Holden Cruze sedan and hatch were manufactured in Australia. The rear of the hatch was designed in Australia.
who cares about who imported what, the point is, you can't get our cars anywhere else, and don't start talking about the American or europesn equivalent.
HoldenisAustralian that’s hilarious
Taylor You can get them in New Zealand quite easily...
Love that Jeremy's laughing
If I went to this auction now with the prices of then, I’d leave with the parking lot.
This will always be top gear
he was probably on holidays.
but 31 seconds wow.
Hammond's analogy of "going ugly first" at nightclubs is brilliant 🤣
Amazing how you keep the show fresh.
But fellas...
please find a way to make it easier to link to Part 2.
I think it's awesome that Hamster ended up purchasing a car built in the same factory where his grandfather worked
"What a dismal racket."
One of the funniest Top Gear Moments for real
I love how the Ami is the only car that didn't breakdown all the time. Also, the handcrank is there in case the battery goes flat, it does have an electric starter
James may: ill let you have a guess
me: 31.7 seconds
james may: no 31.7 seconds
"terrible cars"
"classic Beetle"
Oh boy...
Classic beetle in their books is one of the worst cars ever made
One of the few opinions they have that everybody generally disagrees with. I remember once when May was happily announcing that the classic Beetle was stopping production and everybody in the audience was sad despite May being ecstatic. I own a classic Beetle, it’s a brilliant little Bug. It’s like a friend to me, you can’t help but have an emotional bond with it
Wow. Love this episode and it’s been 10 yrs. already? My goodness.
Classic top gear! Never been the same without the trio
i like that purple spitfire
1:04 "Go Ugly early" lol
Decent Video, from the old Top Gear Days and proves that you can get a decent Car for a Reasonable Price. Great Quality and decent Scriptwriting/ Action etc. Kind regards Peter
£540 for that Ford... crazy how the market has shifted since then
james's car, do you need 2 people to start it?
McFigroll
No but you do need to wind it up before using
Rubbish, the handcrank is there in case the battery goes flat. It will start on the electric starter no problem.
@@therickman1990 maybe the electric starter WAS on problem.
I love Hammond choice all the time.
Jezza’s laugh when the Citroën pull out from the back 😂 @ 3:39
3:36 - 3:42 jeremys laugh of happiness, I LOLLED :D
Literally every country in the planet: *drives on right.
British when they go to another country: "oh yes, they drive on the wrong side"
78 of the worlds countries drive on the left. But I get your point lol
@@B355Y well, 63 coutries gained independence from the UK
@@pedrofrancisco2291 what difference does that make?
@@B355Y just saying because you said that 78 coutries drive on the left. Just making a point, no worries
@@pedrofrancisco2291 ah mate I just realised the point you were making, please ignore me. I'm daft. Have a good day/night 👍
3:39 his laugh gets me every time
the only other car which I can think of that comes close to being the little brother of Hammond's car that he bought is an Austin FX4.
Though i thought the Austin FX4 came after the Lancester London Taxies.
would like to see more of them at auctions
1:52 OhCockPosting/BloodyShedManPosting have got that stuck in my head!
3:37 just has me in stitches.
i love jeremy's laugh hahahaha
"Did you just bid on that you half whit" I just had an asthma attack on that part😂😂😂😂😂😂
