If I recall that's where he gained his appreciation for fast cars, cuz without a really fast car he might never have got to say goodbye. I think when he got there his dad passed away only 30 minutes later. I bet the chicken he brought for his ma was still warm
It's like he was saying near the end of South America about his old teddy bear: "To you, it'd be worthless junk, but to me it's one of my most prized possessions." Sentimentality is a powerful feeling, make no mistake
Honestly don’t blame him, if a car they built and lent me to review was the reason I got to say goodbye to my dad it would probably be my favourite car ever made.
@@kdpwt it was but then they started doing the specials travelling around the world. That brought back so much of the original stuff. Like when the train split off in India. Noway that was staged
According to what Andy Wilman wrote in Top Gear Magazine, this was the very beginning of the cheap car challenge tradition. It was supposed to be a film on how good a cheap Porsche can be, but when Jeremy's car broke down so quickly, Jezza decided that old rubbish breaking down was more fun than new cars working perfectly. Thus, the cheap car challenge was born.
eddie90 Did they do that first? I remember seeing it (although I can't find it anymore), and I rather liked it. Though it perhaps wasn't really a classic cheap car challenge. The cars worked quite well, didn't break down and weren't modified in any way. It was more journalistic and less pure entertainment than this Porsche challenge and all the ones after it...
If you ask me the £100 challenge was as entertaining as all the others, especially the ending with the surprise of clarkson having spent only £1 on the car xD
megaspeed2v2 I do stand by the fact that the 100 quid car challenge was mostly intended to show how good a 100 pound car can be. Maybe that's the difference: the 100 quid challenge was ambitious, but not really rubbish. The cars were really surprisingly good, by some stretch it counts as useful consumer advice.. This one was the first of many to genuinely go by that motto.
appelpower1 I agree it was a good factual segment, but I think having a factual element also helps make these things more entertaining, when its pure jokes it wears thin fast.
He chose it twice, he talked about the reason he loved the 928 in the Patagonia special how he was able to because he was testing it for the 1977-2000 top gear rendition, and he found out his dad was in the hospital and he only had one chance to say goodbye to him, he got himself down to the hospital and was able to say goodbye to him because of that 928.
I like how Clarkson knew his car would be a disaster before even starting the first challenge. He just bought a 928 because it's his favourite Porsche for very sentimental reasons.
There's a reason they probably don't care. Beyond any other reasons, It doesn't even make sense. Chinese, from what little I know of it, has distinct L and R sounds. So they can say eleven just fine. Written, it's 十一 which doesn't look like a burnout either.
why be crazy those cars are 10k at least crappy ones and goes up 15k to 30k . the ones on the show is a bad condition from junk yard thats why. these cars are only going up in prices.
That was above all else the true genius of Top Gear. They really were just three average blokes that never grew past grade school lavatory humor. They reminded us of the simpler times with the friends we grew up with.
Jacob Begley if you watch the Patagonia special, he says that he needed a reliable car to get to the hospital where his dad would eventually die, and at the time he chose the 928 because he was testing it :(
Phoenix Intergrale Also he got the hospital 30 minutes before his dad died, and said that he can thank the 170 mile top speed of 928 that he made it there before his dad died.
***** after just watching the moms episode where they get all 3 of their moms to test cars and reading the comments, i also found out that Clarkson lost his mom last year too. dam i feel for Clarkson considering he also just lost his job.
Thats what makes cars special...when they hold a special sentimental place in your heart for one reason or another. Although it might not be the latest and greatest but to you it is the greatest.
07:39 The guy in the white jacket is Alex Renton (who at the time, Series 5, was a researcher on the show) and is now executive producer on the current Top Gear.
Top gear at it's peak. From the music to the story to the genuine laughter.. just amazing. I've watched this clip 100s of times and it cracks me up no matter what.
Loved these challenges when I was growing up, just so entertaining and also introduced me to the world of classic cars. 18 years later at the age of 25 I have finally bought my own 1982 Porsche 944 for £9000, to think 20 years ago they were so cheap! Even project cars are over £5000 so these really have shot up in value in the last few years
@Ezra Redgwell My thoughts exactly! :) And they wouldn't be able to find a Porsche of any kind that still runs (in Canada) for less than $4,000 Cdn. Best they could do is get a set of four tires (maybe). The prices in Canada for everything are of another world. Everything is more expensive here. There's no such thing as a "cheap" car in Canada. A Hyundai Accent starts at $15,000 in Canada.
Syl Me. 944's are just the best, my dad had a Porsche 944 and 924 business. Must have had a good 20-30 of them within 10 years and it was so nice to walk out the front door in the countryside seeing them.
After watching the Patagonia Special a few years ago, now I Know why Jeremy wanted the 928 not only for this challenge but also for every chance he got to get one.
I think back when this was uploaded back in 2008 RUclips had a maximum video length of about ten minutes, therefore the BBC had to cut a fair bit out of the challenges
Jeremy liked 928s before Argentina got angry. Do you know how hard it would have been to specifically find a 928 with that number plate? It's not as if Porsche sold a zillion of them in the U.K. There were very expensive when they were new, something like £150k in today's money
DAZ605 "bulletproof this, and here ,and the windows, and get me one of them phones, ya know with a... with a scrambler. And a radio with scanners, to pick up flying saucers, stuff like that"
GorillaProduction38 I doubt that. This car was mechanically ruined, I doubt restoring it would be worth it, even if the 928 is normally a magnificant and rather rare car.

if you are complaining about Jeremy 928, that car was doomed already: those engine damages and rust made a salvage basicaly impossible to be done. to have sell it as spares is really the best he could do, so other 928 can be salvaged
he had 2 944's one was int he Ambulance challenge in series 22 and the other was in the rear wheel drive one where he manages to mend a few things on his car from series 13
I love the 944. My Dad's first car was a 944 Turbo and he loved that car. Most of his early cars were Porsches and now he has two in our garage... He never grew up, lol.
These challenges were peak top gear. All starting with the £100 car challenge. Love the porsche, budger supercars and also car thats not a porsche challenge...brilliant. Wish it was in hd haha
The 928 was always special in Jeremy''s heart. Recalling Clarkson explaining the event regarding the visit to see his dad for the last time.
If I recall that's where he gained his appreciation for fast cars, cuz without a really fast car he might never have got to say goodbye. I think when he got there his dad passed away only 30 minutes later. I bet the chicken he brought for his ma was still warm

Honestly don’t blame him, if a car they built and lent me to review was the reason I got to say goodbye to my dad it would probably be my favourite car ever made.

to have sell it as spares is really the best he could do, so other 928 can be salvaged
5:18 james laugh is so priceless 😂
And thus, the iconic set pieces were created
Love the way jeremy says “look at the door handles” whilst not trying to laugh and then promptly laughs
Damn man. These guys aren’t the same. Top Gear/BBC really did get the best of them.
Well obviously they were in their 30s and 40s here now they're in theirb50s and 60s
Damn! TopGear has been on youtube longer than PewDiePie. And always better 🍻
7:20 Jeremys Chinese accent lmao
“Ore somron write an ereven”
Another racist moment from Top Gear that they got away with back then.
@mitchcash760 Russia, China and Iran want to commit genocide on us and you're worried about an accent?
Fuck you.
7:22 “Ohhh, someone write erreven!” 😂😂
watching this in late 2023 its absolutely INSANE that these cars were even close to 1500. let alone that 928
Why does James say that so hilariously 😂 3:06
0:20 Look at Hammond's massive eye bags. Did he not sleep for 3 days or something?
1:34 and who knew that that is the car Jeremy would use in the Patigonia Special.
he had 2 944's one was int he Ambulance challenge in series 22 and the other was in the rear wheel drive one where he manages to mend a few things on his car from series 13
And it was a piece of shit in that too. He has sentimental value because it's the car he drove to see his dad half an hour before he died.
2:36 look how Clarkson raises his eyebrows at the end when it hits him that "remove the bonnet" is actually a good idea :D
You gotta love Jeremy's ingenuity. They never said he couldn't do things with it. . .
This was my favourite era of top gear, I loved their cheap car challenges!
Thin Lizzy - Boys are back in town while Stig is driving Jeremy's Porsche!
Awesome!
Can't stop laughing at the "Oh! Someone write a ereven!" xD
Same here 😂. Funniest scene in the episode, and not only 😂
I dont get it. Whats the joke?
@@honkhonk8009 asian people cant pronounce l's properly
I am deeply saddened that this episode is not available in parts like it used to be. .Some of the best content is omitted.
I love the 944. My Dad's first car was a 944 Turbo and he loved that car. Most of his early cars were Porsches and now he has two in our garage... He never grew up, lol.
6:01 Cars almost look green screened into place, as if they forgot to read the challenge while recording on the track.
"Ooooooo SUMWUN WRITE EREVEN!" 😂😂
" In fact, Hammond had given his 924 sporting credentials it didn't deserve." i died again
5:18 James' wheeze is everything
5:18 - the legendary James May laughing duck impression.
That idea with the seats and the V8 table is actually brilliant.
"Beneath this -faded- ruined exterior, beats a heart of pure arthritis."
These challenges were peak top gear. All starting with the £100 car challenge. Love the porsche, budger supercars and also car thats not a porsche challenge...brilliant. Wish it was in hd haha
How can you cut out the explosion of engine oil all over James' freshly cleaned engine bay? That was the funniest part of the whole challenge.
