It was actually my mums car, we lived in Radcliffe in Lancashire in about 2002/3. She's an iron maiden fan and eventually went to put the Eddie from Iron Maiden in the background of the flames on the bonnet. My mum didn't like top gear back then but my dad was a big fan and absolutely embarrassed by my mums car so sent it in hahaha. Made my mum smile when she saw this video, she thinks its famous now haha
The idea that some overseas fan of Dukes of Hazzard went out of his way to basically rebadge his car just to make a "replica" of the car from the show. Could've been a hatchback like the first one and he would've still done it that way.
I know what you're getting at, but its a movie reference, the car was the 'general lee' so Clarkson wasn't commenting on if its ok to be a fan of Robert E Lee

@@SPEEDYxArcher Right, but in 2020 if you reference the car, youre apparently a racist in some eyes. Most racing games (some of which have the exact model and year of charger that the Lee actually was) will outright ban you for using a general lee looking car, and ive seen a big push for having the show entirely banned.
I like how there's some actual motoring journalism and honest, off the cuff opinions going on in the earlier shows instead of the later overly scripted episodes that are so obviously fake they're painful to watch. This is a standard later episode: *intro music* HAMMOND/MAY: 'Jeremy, whatever you do, don't do the thing' CLARKSON: 'Ok, I won't do the thing' CLARKSON: *to the audience* 'I'm totally doing the thing' *does the thing* *everything goes to shit* HAMMOND/MAY: 'JEREMY WTF, WE TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THE THING.' *gay joke about James May* *outro music* Rinse, repeat, yawn. The Grand Tour is even worse.
I agree. But even with how downhill it went, it still worked for me. These guys have such a great chemistry, I think it would be impossible for them to make a bad show.
Heres a suggestion. The Grand Tour brings back the cool wall (in a way), by putting cars on a TV screen. They could call it 'Car Tinder' where you either swipe left or right if you like or hate the car.
In a weird way I kinda miss the old episodes when things were simpler. The Grand Tour is great but this format had a certain simple charm to it having Hammond and Jeremy talking in front of an LCD monitor about stuff they found on the internet.
As stupid as it looks that spoiler is in a sensible place for functional aero, in clean air that isn't being disturbed by the roofline. But for a road car that might hit the track once or twice in its life.
0:55 when I was a teenager both my parents had a citroen BX each and I loved them, so I was obviously very familiar with what they looked like so I was not in any way fooled when a few years ago I saw a BX driving past that someone had tried to make look like an Audi Quattro including an obviously fake four ring logo on the front ( the dead giveaway wasthat a quattro doesn't have 4 doors), I would have taken a picture of it but unfortunately I didn't have a camera phone at that time but I nearly collapsed in the street from laughing so much.
It reminds me of when I sat in a Plymouth Prowler. I'm less than 6ft, but the top of the windshield was right at eye level. You'd have to slouch down in your seat just to see where you were driving.
Ruf buys white/unbadge chassis from porsche,just like alpina buys bmw chassis from bmw. So they still the car marker brand just a re badge tune up version.
The funny thing about that Citroen BX is, that that is not the worst mod I've seen on one. I once saw someone build a block of flats on top of one and go camping in it. What a cock end.
My dad used to own a MB w124 1990 250D and the lock was broken in it for 3 years, when we went to town once I asked him when he was gonna fix the central-lock and he answered who's gonna wanna steal that and laughed. For a time it also had this problem that even though you took out the key the engine still kept running. Never got stolen might I add.
Not even that. That poor Porsche looks like one of those pushable car shopping trolleys you put your kids in when you want them to behave themselves at the supermarket.

Mate my girlfriend would probably think it was, same for a lot of girls lol
lmao girls don't know what a Charger is, except their apple phone charger
Who cares? at this point the roofie has kicked in which means you've already won.

Even the 90s I remember hearing the term.
they did use the term but it was only for the really slow badly modded cars. now its anything at all different from what everyone else likes.

2:03 poor RUF CTR2 GT2 Clubsport. One of my all time dream cars has been molested by an awful spoiler
Luke Walsh don't worry it will have been taken off when the owner wanted to sell the car
AliasSLH what? Do you think it's a stock spoiler?
It looks something that kids climb into

Who'd have thought they'd end up sending a Pluriel flying back to France years later 😆
I like the copen but jeremy really does look funny in it, like being in a pedal car for kids
It reminds me of when I sat in a Plymouth Prowler.
I'm less than 6ft, but the top of the windshield was right at eye level. You'd have to slouch down in your seat just to see where you were driving.
5:41 Clarkson needs a red hat with a bell
I didn't understand the scale of the Daihatsu until Jeremy walked next to it
2:19
"hey, i've got a bigger ooooooooone"

Accurate to American mentality
my hospital bill is bigger

how do you pronounce RUF
I prefer this old school top gear. Not too silly, not too serious.
Where I used to live, I once saw an FSO Polonez with a crooklock on it. I swear the lock was worth more than the car!
2:55 next week I'm going to turn it into a Lamborghini 😂
I lost it at the first half... I couldn't stop laughing!
Those botch jobs were horrible!!!
I really like how they ALL love the tiny car!
I supect, the car belongs to PewDiePie 0:25 xD
4:38 I'm with May on that one. Even if it's an SL, I won't even think of going for V8, even if it's an AMG. 6-cyl version is more than enough for me.
3:14 Excellent hire car... ...because then you can give it back 😂😂😂 (wow James)
I want the wheels off of the Citroen BX. They're BBS RAs.
The wheels are the only nice thing they did to that poor Citroen
Or cheap replicas
Luci fer what? i almost exclusively see BBS on BMWs😂

Funny thing is, that Porsche with the bing Wing was nicely done up. Sure the spoiler is high but looks nice to me
What’s amazing is that the bx has suspension that go’s up and down!
Not anymore, son 👌🏼
"Finished In Lovely Baby Diarreha" - LOL
Seeing Jeremy in that Daihatsu reminds me of the time he had that MG Midget in Majorca.
Store: how many dials do you want.
Me: yes!
1:32 That looks like Hammond's Suzuki in the police car challenge.
I always thought that James may was the posh one but looking back it was Jeremy and Richard who were haha
The car with the big wing looked like a lawn mower😂
Thanks for not putting ads!
James May in Rick Astley's suit.
That Citroën looked like a Transformers reject. And that silver (I think) Skyline had a bigger spoiler than the end of the latest Game of Thrones.
I used to see an old Jag regularly it was painted bright green with house gloss paint.

How is Jeremy going to see out of that Copen? The top of the windshield is directly on his eye level.
Bloody hell I miss the 2000s
I once saw an evo with a tiny 3 inch long 1 inch high spoiler.. I wish I had a picture!
this was like subreddit reaction videos before subreddit reaction videos existed

Its funny because the spoiler on the porsche is like, not even that far off from the 933 GT3's regular racing wing.
