I figured out where James picked up that guy in London by finding where that hotel used to be, it was litterary a 10 minute drive away from the destination.....
5:36 James is almost 4 miles away from his destination at that point, about double the distance between Chelsea (where he started) and Earls Court where he was meant to be going! 😂
@@dazzaMusic He's on Radio X now, they play a much better set of rock music. I also saw him do a DJ set recently in Plymouth and to be fair he got the crowd going more than the main acts 😂He's still about having fun and playing great music!
Incredibly, James came up with the best design. His car was the least shot in the anti-terrorist challenge, it was the best in the water cannon challenge and it was the easiest to get through the tight streets of London.
Yes, of course. Jeremy and Richard were too rough and that could very well be part of the reason the wheel came off. Either that, or there could be a weakness in the column. Who knows?
Lamar was in on it. The producers asked him to have a go at James because he was actually being too nice. They weren't on the way to the show the whole video, most of this was just a days filming around London for content.
I love that these videos are in HD, are all stitched together into longer videos, and some footage we may have not seen before. As for the video, poor James being shouted at! 😭😭
I seriously love og top gear, i dont understand why new top gear can't be OG style , i dont care if we dont have OG crew. People love these fun car themed ideas with chaotic endings 😂
Interestingly what James may said about the congestion charge is wrong. The car is registered as a TOPGEARSAAB/ALFA. What is more concerning is that it is registered as red.
The internet will miss this legendary Trio. Probably the best trio out there regarding television series. It’s crazy how they just released their final episode where they’re all working together on something one last time.
Why is it only Chris Moyles that looks like he's a tad worried about getting into the car? I know there's duct tape on that one, but still... Top Gear cars... 😂
@@liamcollins9183 You have me with The Invincible 100% that's definitely the most iconic. In my opinion I would argue the limo segment has been memed more than the car-boat segment(s), which there have been two or three of.
6:48 When Lamar pulled the steering wheel off I died
pissing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
RIP
Fkin hell hahahaha
Did not fkin expect it hahaha
"if you could just straighten up please sir" 🛞🤷♂️
To this day, this is one of my favourite top gear episodes.
It's so stupid, I love it. 😁♥️
I remember a spectator uploaded video of this when they saw it in person. Tried to talk to Jeremy and he said something sassy lol
Is there anywhere to watch the full episode in non potato quality?
mine as well
I figured out where James picked up that guy in London by finding where that hotel used to be, it was litterary a 10 minute drive away from the destination.....
To the 102nd guy who liked hello
He also had the easiest car to drive there aswell, it was only slightly longer than a normal car.
Captain slow did him best 😂
yes that would be why this section of the script was so funny
The guy having to hoist himself using the rope to get to the back seat LOOOL
'the guy' Yeah Chris Moyles...
@@durpanda123 yeah, a nobody!
If you were alive in the UK in the mid '00s to early '10s and turned on a radio you'd know who chris moyles is lol@@mzzzzz2179
@@mzzzzz2179 Imagine claiming chris moyles is a noboday lmao, if you're any age older then 8 years old then you've just embarassed yourself.

It's a show...
@@Qwairy Oh, you don't say?
perhaps 4 mile of road? and not 4 miles as the crow flies
@@Qwairy I'm aware, but those who aren't aware of where places are in London might not know exactly how long he was....
The new top gear can never be as good as the OG top gear
Yeah, that's probably why there hasn't been any new episodes since 2023.
@@JamesTrifolium No, that's because Freddie's injured.
@@named_qp Hosts come, hosts go. If they wanted it to keep going, they would’ve hired someone else.
@@JamesTrifolium Can't really argue with that... good point.
This wasn’t og Top Gear. OG Top Gear started in 1977
Funny how the three guests are basically nobodies now, whilst Clarkson, Hammond and May are legends
I was about to say the radio one fella is still pretty well known... but then I couldn't remember his name 😂 so maybe you are correct!
I think Lamar is still about but mostly over in the states.
It's really funny honestly😂
@@0tispunkm3y3ryeah but he’s far from his Radio one days
@@dazzaMusic He's on Radio X now, they play a much better set of rock music. I also saw him do a DJ set recently in Plymouth and to be fair he got the crowd going more than the main acts 😂He's still about having fun and playing great music!
1:26 "No expense spent"
I know it's "no expense spared", but I like Jamelia's version much better 😂
Had to rewind to catch that, gave me a good tickle 😂
I remember her saying that when it aired back years ago, been my fav saying ever since
That's the joke genius
the two sayings have completely different meanings!
Yeah that's the joke because the car was a piece of shit monster
"which has affected rear leg room a little bit"
The entire James section is absolute peak comedy. From the stuck clackson, to the awkward small talk and the broken off steering wheel 😂
God I miss these challenges, I grew up watching these Sunday nights with my family, we will miss you 3 lads
They aren't dead.
@@hypnotised-clover he meant they retired
@@bobandjamesofficial Since when?
Skns last week i think
@@olivertclarsen Who hosts Who wants to be a millionaire now?
2:19 “If it starts to rain, don’t press it because you’ll get electrocuted” 😭😂
Ironic that the boys became more recognisable worldwide than their passengers.
Absolutely, I’m not from the UK and I have No idea who these “stars” are. Never ever heard of them
@@teethendrikson I thought Lamar was Lamar Davis, the rapper guy that annihilated Drake a while back
@@teethendrikson Jamelia or w/e has been on panel shows and was pretty funny, I had no idea she's meant to be a singer though
Chris Moyles has done radio for decades
@@teethendriksonyou’re probably too young to understand. Man the money I would have given to be in the TG tent… can’t believe it’s finally over.
Lemar's reaction to the steering wheel disassembling on its own was GOLD💀6:51
Incredibly, James came up with the best design. His car was the least shot in the anti-terrorist challenge, it was the best in the water cannon challenge and it was the easiest to get through the tight streets of London.
As long as the Alfa wheel stays on, of course.
Yes, of course. Jeremy and Richard were too rough and that could very well be part of the reason the wheel came off. Either that, or there could be a weakness in the column. Who knows?
Although it had one design flaw.
not really a limo though is it?
No, not really. More like 2 saloon cars joined together.
11:04 the girls screaming Jeremy's name
The original length of the Panda limo was hilarious in the first part of the episode.
This channel should be memorialised forever in a museum, seeing how The Grand Tour has ended.
James' car would've been great if it wasn't being driven by James.
I love how everyone is a relatively good sport about their "limo" being a mess
Lamar especially was a homie ( driving his own limo xD) until he wasnt
Lamar was in on it. The producers asked him to have a go at James because he was actually being too nice. They weren't on the way to the show the whole video, most of this was just a days filming around London for content.
@@hippopotamus86yes, that's how TV works
@@Faulty720 I know. But plenty of people don't. Go see the comment section on the main Top Gear channel of the same challenge. 😂
To this day I haven't got the first idea who Lamar is
@@hippopotamus86 HAH LOVE THAT!
This is emotional, I have seen this soo many times in potato quality, finally HD!
one of the best classics
Went to bali years ago and bought the entire dvd collection of top gear from 2002 up til about 2013, binge watched them all. Good times.
1 million views in 11 days shows just how globally popular and influential og top gear was
9:09 'Jeremy, how you doing?' 'Not well'...lol
It’s so dangerously illegal and amazing. London in mayhem for a topgear episode 😭
James May, stopping horn blaring with a kick. I'm telling you, this man is dangerous.
🤣🤣🤣
3:39 the look of pure concern
Man im going to miss these guys. Cant believe its over
Amazing how none of Lemar, Jamelia nor Moyles are still around, but yet Clarkson, Hammond and May are.
You made it sound like they died 😭 but you're right
I'll forever miss this trio and I'm only 23
Feels bad for captain slow at the end😢
it's slow troll after that
luckily it's all acting
Captain slow, is, again, slow. It's all in the name innit.
one of my favorite episodes ever
To this day this challenge still gives me level 99 second hand embarrassment.
6:16
"I was getting on my seat!"
"Oh I thought someone had run into us"
☠️
Extremely savage 🤣💀
I love how this feels like part TV program, and part hostage video.
Thank you so much for posting these in high quality!
As the years go on it gets harder to watch these classics.
All the cars featured and on the road have so much character...
One thing I would recommend doing for these videos is including the full part of the show, not just the highlights.
Copyright, mate.
@@mikebliss3153 the BBC themselves are publishing the videos man
I love that these videos are in HD, are all stitched together into longer videos, and some footage we may have not seen before. As for the video, poor James being shouted at! 😭😭
6:18 😂 one of the most funniest lines!
12:07 The Best Man
Little did he know that it was his peak career moment. Being driven by may is top accolade.
Kinda sad that Earl's Court is basically history now.
How?
"Now sit back and relax" 🔊🔊🔊📢📢📢📢📢
The Homemade Limo Challenge is one of my favourite Top Gear episodes ever. We never knew how good we had it!
Goated show bro.
The chauffers are way more famous than the "VIP's"
I see where Max Fosh gets his inspiration from.
one of the best episodes. so silly and so awesome
It's a GIANT Panda!! Never before breed in captivity.
Looks like inbreeding.
I seriously love og top gear, i dont understand why new top gear can't be OG style , i dont care if we dont have OG crew. People love these fun car themed ideas with chaotic endings 😂

OG Top gear on TOP!

Is this the most iconic Top Gear segment of all time? Definitely one of the most famous non-adventure segments.
I'd say trying the destroy the Toyota Hilux and making amphibious cars were more iconic.
@@liamcollins9183 You have me with The Invincible 100% that's definitely the most iconic. In my opinion I would argue the limo segment has been memed more than the car-boat segment(s), which there have been two or three of.
Thats what an OG TopGear was about. I was constantly smiling for 12+ minutes. Those guys are GOATs
Seeing the old phones gave me nostalgia. They hadn’t taken over just yet
There’s no way you cut out the meetup and challenges. They were literally the best part
I've seen this episode 20 or maybe 30 times, it's still hilarius.
I love these! Gotta include the recap with everyone together though!
These guys will forever affect my generation, made me cry when they ended the show. So well done.
now i can watch it as one whole HD video, thanks
The irony being all these years later, are all these people are forgotten nobodies and Jeremy, Richard and James are superstars in their own right.
This episode is legendary
That poor Saab 😂😂 but this is so funny 😂😂😂
7:11 the OG Sony Ericsson phone
I always like the top gear episodes filmed in London especially those before 2009 which shows London as how I remember it
lemar's face when he sees the car
absolutely priceless
One of my favourite episode, i remember watching it with so much focus 😂
If it rains, don’t press it because you’ll get electrocuted😂
James May, the OG of rear wheel steering 😂😂😂
2:46 Noel Looking Cheeky as Ever
Nothing better than old top gear
Angela Rippon circa 1977?
Chris Moyles, from Radio One.
Those were the days.
I feel like this kind of thing is what was really missing from The Grand Tour. Really missed segments like this, they were some of the best!
I wonder whether lamar was genuinely pissed off or whether it was a bit
2:23 That horn problem solved 😂😂😂😂
ahh finally, this clip in not eyebleed quality!
The original top gear was something else, best car show ever
Jeremy, Richard & James are the Top Gear
Moyles 😂 turns up with a bag of beer and crisps from thw cash and carry, legend
This was peak Top Gear, such good times.
We need Top Gear lap times for this Limousines 😂😂
Poor Lamar 😂 this episode was so nostalgic
The fact that they all worked... with limits... is actually the biggest mystery in this
Posts come once in a blue moon , WE NEED WEEKLY POSTS!!!!
Imagine being late for work on the evening they decide to drive these through town
HOW HAVE I NEVER NOTICED NOEL AT 2:46
8:13 look where you're going 😂
2024 and this is still funny to me. God bless the three musks
even earls court doesn't exist anymore
Does it not? How come?
@@itsdan722 The area is being redeveloped.
@@itsdan722- Demolished for yuppie flats.
Didn’t the original upload show how they built it? I’d know because I watched it just last week
So then why ask?
Jeremy's Panda is probably the biggest Panda in the World!!!
The best part is, I was sitting on this very FIAT one day before this video aired again
This was my favorite episode
A Duct Tape Limo takes the cake 😂
Peak childhood memories.
Hood- lum
this is a masterpiece! "how are you doing? - not well..." - I haven't laughed like that for a long time :)
