The first guy made my day. Something about him made me smile the whole time.
***** a big guy with his heart at the right place by the looks of it..
No. The man at the beginning is a "real" Texan, not the one at the end. We don't all think we're better than others. We just live a completely different way of life than most others, and we're quite proud of it. That's it. Proud, but not better.
Unfortunately, after moving to Houston for the last 4 years, I have to say there's more of the latter in this endless nonsensical suburbian on steroids experiment. I hope the rest of Texas are more like the first guy.
@@vsbaratinhoLike most places, the cities are a poor representation of a states culture, simply because people come and go in a city much more frequently
That bearded dude is
Freaking adorable.
The first man seemed like a really nice guy
"This is the all time Clarkson favorite vehicle"
He's exactly the same now. He goes for big, loud, horsepower machines.
Now hes favorite is a lamborghini tractor
The old guy in the beginning was awesome. Just goes to show you can't judge a person by their looks. Clarkson is awesome too.
That man in the beginning loves his truck, and I can understand. I wouldn't trade my truck for the world.
I'm from Texas and other than the British accent, Clarkson would fit in, he needs to work on his y'alls. He definitely fits the driving style of faster and larger than life of Texas.
It’s crazy how long 12 years really is wish the 90s would last forever
I love living in Texas, being fat and happy.
I've live in many parts, and I really love Texas. Its a great place to spend your life.
Never ask a man where he’s from. If he’s from Texas, he’ll tell ya. If he isn’t, well you don’t want to embarrass the poor fella.
OMG I would kill to drive Big Foot. Jeremy is one lucky SOB!
i resently found out in cold weather that the prius its engine still runs during stand still cause there was still coming smoke from the exhaust.. so that is why i like old cars...
That is quite possibly the most awesome example of friendship I've ever seen.
THIS is how you interact with your fellow man.
Damn I wish my grandpa was a 3rd of that texan fellows awesomeness.
what a peaceful old man, i want to have a beer with that guy
This is so hilarious lmao. God I love Texas :D
that first guy with his truck was ace. seemed really friendly, and like he's got a million stories to tell ya.
@Blacomerjo they are old used mining tractor tires that are cut up to reduce weight. They cost new about 5k per tires but used probably about 2 grand.
That first guy made me miss living in America. What a cool country
that guy looks like a viking
"there is substitute for cubic inches...cubic feet!" AHAHAHAHA!!!! Made my day!
I have to say the old guy he talked to seemed like a really nice guy. Down to earth. Clarkson may say he 'hates' America and the cars we drive, but I think he also has a great appreciation for them as well. It is cool that the Bigfoot people let him drive it. Oh, and that 1 gal/300 yrds, you have to remember, that isn't "gas"....... it really doesn't have anything to do with foreign oil.
Minus the cities, my aunt lives in dallas and drives a prius.
THERE'S STILL HOPE!!!
"The all time Clarkson favorite vehicle!" (Not a British or European car, an American Ford truck!) You heard it straight from the horses mouth.
I went to a car dealership in America and I asked what they sold. He mispronounced every single one. He said "We sell alot. We got Hundi, mitsibusi, jagwaaarr, Bee-em-dubya."
I remember watching this episode back in the early 2000s in India and came here just to see the scene with the bearded guy in the beginning. I remembered him 20 odd years later
I would love to analize the whole video in pieces but in small words I just wanna meet that mister so badly. I love that kind of lifestyle.
beside the action in this video THERE IS SO EMOTION
LOVE IT...
I wonder what would he thought about American muscles cars after driving that monster truck😅😂😂😂🤘🤘🤘🙌🙌👏👌
Good song at the end "Take it to the limit" Eagles!!!
My truck looks a lot like that one. His is a 1960 Chevy Apache with a 67-72 grille for some reason, mine is a turquoise 2WD 1961 Apache with a lot more rust.
ha ha love that duddes truck!!!! and who would've know texans were so chill n down to earth fughin awesome!!!
Jeremy Clarkson drove the truck that started it all BIGFOOT.
THEY NEED TO PUT THAT ON THE TOPGEAR TEST TRACK!
Texas here. We have NASA, we have progressively cultural Austin, Dallas, Houston, Galveston, ect. We've been an icon where anybody can be anyone. The last wild west is Florida - Panama, South Florida, Tampa.
love the first old bloke.....really nice chaps
Anyone know where to find the full episode for this?
I'm sorry but the Texas one is the only episode that doesn't really exist anymore.
LOL, I loove that truck! I want it! I know just what he means about ugly being the best. I like to keep my cars ugly. I had a Legacy AWD wagon with a Volvo logo on the front and some sort of black mold or something growing all over the white paint, and a 4x4 sticker on the tailgate. A Geo Tracker with a mud-over-blue paint job, and no windows. My red n black '87 F-150 with 33" mudders (on the rear) and a plow frame. My Volvo 240 wagon, plank bumpers, and a "Yeah, It's Got A Hemi" bumper sticker.
young jeremy ^^
Hold on just a minute. Those things get 300yds to the gallon?! That's the same as a Boeing 747, which weighs half a million pounds. It's got four engines, each large enough for a full-grown man to stand upright in, and it develops power by pouring fuel into the engine, lighting it, and letting it blast out the back. And you're telling me a pickup with big tires gets the same mileage? Jesus.
so now we know how santa gets around other than the sleigh
Texans are very nice people.
ever been to Austin? i love that place.
lol at 5:10 " Two headed baby "
better than other people xD hahaha yeah and bush is the best example for it! hahaha god I laughed at this
cool truck, that's how real cars look like!
that guy in the beginnin is freaking old school :D
I would love to see clarkson drive a Caterpillar 797B Dumptruck.
Clarkson (or the cameraman) chuckling in the background is hilarious.
I was about to write that that old guy was really nice too until I saw your post. It just goes to show us all that appearances aren't everything.
no...they are a percentage of the oil exports but not that much.
i would love to have a truck like that!
ahaha clarkson should come back to texas now and see how much has changed!
@takura13 No doubt.
I made the mistake of getting rid of my old '78 chevy some years back and I've been looking for another just like it ever since. When I see a nice stretch of road, and inviting two-track, a rocky hill, even a small parking space the first thought in my head is "I wish I still had my truck".
The guy with the banged up truck, only in America. What a legend
got the same truck. 1961 chevy apache
Now that's what i call recycling!
Moral; it's not some shiny tin god, it's just a machine.Shopping list on the door! Good one.
gotta love those Ford hemis
Don't let Clarkson fool you, if he had been born in America, he'd likely be one of it's biggest cheerleaders. As much as he loves automotive culture (and it's pretty obvious that he does) there is no way he could have spent so much time in America (he has) and not be attuned to our car culture. He's just trying to get a rise out of people...
If I'm EVER on an episode of Top Gear, I'm bringing this up.
Good luck with that.
Clarkson had a ford truck as a favorite, WOW
you look young on this clarkson !!
Hello an unknown person from 2008!!
1:08 the hat style of the future for sure
bahahaha... as much as i love to hate on you yanks.. i just LOVE this stuff! =D
Clarkson perfect Vechicle What!!!!
@fortziii Its as old as the hills, when someone constantly criticizes something, means theyre jealous of it.
My friends, you see true love at 4:25...lol
Where I was born n' raised in Texas, you would see a whole mess of good old boys driving beaters such as the one above. Every single one of them would give you the shirt of their backs if you needed it, even if it was pouring down rain.
Ever been airboating Jeremy ? Go to Florida and give it a try.
like i said iv been to texas numerous times they are some of the nicest people...but iv heard some of them say they would rather be an independent nation...what resources does texas have that they could possibly sustain themselves.
That truck is NOT ugly its experienced. I want to see a Tacoma or a Tundra that experienced
@androgenix Texas is definitely a beautiful state for sure! Very cheap to live. The weather is very humid during the summer months, but other than that check it out :)
The guy who drives the ugly truck actually has pretty nice penmanship!
Drag Racing Cars can make up to 8,000 hp. I should know, I own one
how can you compare land rover to lexus and aston martin to ferrari completly different types of cars ???
"This is the all time favorite Clarkson vehicle!"
Yeah I'm with u fascinating2112 im from Dallas
You should test it on the topgear test track! :D
Land Rover TD90 will get the job done quite nicley.
Has been doing 'the job' all around the world for over 50 years now.
"I said let's make something better than stonehenge.... took about a week"
ROFL
Thanks m8
What a shame, we gave great food, and San Antonio is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever been to.
That truck was about a 60 or 61 with a 69 grille. It is pretty cool, lol
Yeah, because there are SO many of those around. Besides, it burns alcohol.
what truck is this?
i love the southwest, never been to texas, but i love utah nevada and arizona. this summer i went to monument valley, bryce canyon, zion, grand canyon, and lake powell. some trip. quite different scenery from the jersey shore where i live lol, although thats awesome as well. id love to go to texas and see what beautiful scenery you guys have, but i dont think ill be going anytime soon, sorry.
'' I said let's make something better than stone heads- so they did. took about a week''
hahaha
i had a 65 chevy truck in high school i drove it two weeks and started walking the steering was hard as hell and it was a bitch to park
this truck is NOT ugly, it's a bummer!
that beardy man made me so happy
because people like that man are really nice and don't deserve to be clubbed to death. and monster trucks are cool man!
@LightningT5 You could probably use the Prius itself to write with xD
I love that truck.
I see more bentleys and lambos in texas than monster trucks, must be those damn oil giants
Aren't those caddillacs in new Mexico not texas?
Apparently you missed treeunit's description of indestructability.
whats that for a truck?
@obscene678
don't worry, we're all VERY well reminded of your achievements.... all.. the.. freaking.. TIME!
man i loved grave digger, i got to sit in Carolina crusher tho :P
i like the old guy. his beard suits him. i like his truck too.
this truck is so pretty(start crying)
