12:09 I love how Smith is just standing relaxed, narrating what he sees, chuckling away. The cuts back and forth between him and Trott to the music-genius editing.
The car is a disaster waiting to happen. (Oh wait, it already happened.) The car was probably SORN anyway, And i think the the fact that it's been structurally altered and that the engine's swapped for a more modern 4-stroke which is even more broken than the Sebi's starter motor and choke shows its likelihood of ever seeing the road again. Think you'd struggle to find someone willing to fix it to get it back on the road
To be fair, looking at the state of it it doesn't seem like it was up to much anyway. I expect it was a car some guy bought for cheap, heavily modded it to the point of near destruction then sold it to Hatfilms on the cheap. They look like their keeping good care of the other trabant which is nice.
As a Tire Tech myself, I laughed ridiculously hard when turps put on the spare tire backwards and at pretty much everything else theses guys did in general, but be safer plz as hilarious as this is. What you guys are doing is extremely dangerous. cant have some of my favorite youtubers dieing on me now can I? That Being said keep up the good work Glob... I think I know what my mom feels like at times now...
The thing is, this was filmed ages ago when the yogs had the old office so I highly doubt that any of them sustained serious injuries. Unless they have clones...?
Hat Films are so good and with their content trying different things and trying to please everyone wish they were getting millions of views for each video!
its not the original engine .. the original one is 2 cylinder 2 stroke that one in the blue one i 4 cylinder 4 stroke .. it definetly had some problmes with the fuel i guess
a) No soviet countries drove on the right hand side b) As far as I know I don't think you can just attach another steering column to the steering rack, although I don't know the 'biology' of Trabants. Also I feel that wouldn't be legal lol It's probably just something for the passenger to play with, might have just left the old dashboard in after converting to rhd
You guys should ask your subscribers whether they have some interesting cars you can review like most car youtube channels do. Theres about 900k of us, there must be some interesting cars out there. I'd love to see you guys do a car thing on the side!
What I learned from this episode Trott does not get along well with inanimate plastic objects. Smiffs a bad jacker Ross has common sense. Who'd have thought.
Good god this was stupendous, right on lads. Love the top gear narration. SUCH STRONG GORGEOUS BOIKS. I AM PART OF THE 7%...THE 7% MUST RISE UP AND DO BUGGER ALL ELSE EXCEPT WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW.
Pshh, what are they talkin' about, it's still got the horn attached, the blue car's fine! XD Really though, this challenge is great so far, I'm absolutely loving these! I'm very glad Turps survived this episode, haha, also poor Trott getting attacked by that plastic bag had me in stitches, I can't wait to see what happens next
they pushed the car, he had it in neutral and tried to start it.... like moving it is gonna make it start? you know BUMP START is that you have ignition ON, you hold the clutch put it in 1-2 gear, release it to make the engine turn = start XD
Been in a few car crashes now and not gonna lie mate you took that like a champ and without seatbelts but you werent going over 20 mph so ehhh but nice one mate!
I think Top Gear got 2 important points figured out: You start with at least working cars. And you bring a professional mechanic along... Oh and about 10 Camera and Support Cars.
Smith is obviously Clarkson (case in point: yelling POOOWWEEEEERRR!!), Trott certainly feels like a Hammond; shortest of them all, does things like chasing after plastic bags (and not really succeeding). That leaves Ross as May, which isn't entirely accurate, but also not too far off. Turps, however, is just a madman. Probably closest to a Clarkson-type.
trott getting accosted by red plastic is the best thing I've seen since GO PRO STOP RECORDING
koba it was a beautiful moment.
12:52 TIMESTAMPED
Made me want to vac him.
best thing since #vactrott
"I'm worried about this!" -Turps. I mean yeah, that about sums up the whole video
witnessing trott being attacked by that red sheet was really a special moment
#vactrott
12:09 I love how Smith is just standing relaxed, narrating what he sees, chuckling away. The cuts back and forth between him and Trott to the music-genius editing.
Speaking of which, what actually was this music? EDIT: For those looking at a later date, it's Learning for Life by Mike Franklyn.
Finally Hat Gear ep 2 is out!
you mean Top Hat
Still better than the current 'real' Top Gear with "Joey" and the other wankers.
Oh look, another ignorant muppet who can't stand change. I happen to love 'the other wankers'
Oh look Freddie, the grand tour is funny and doing great. People dont care about change its just they recognise wash ups when they see them.
Trot Gear
'Most expensive mistake in Yogscast history'.... Well apart from Yogventures of course.
well yogventures costed yogscast nothing since it was all crowdfunded
apart from Turps LOL
bullshit. the company making it are the only people who got anything from it. All other parties lost out.
@@Chicanery_Artifice that company went bankrupt
19:43 Smith is Clarkson confirmed.
"POWERRRR!"
And and at the beginning when he said he picked the right vehicle.
Kind of a shame to watch poor Rubi get destroyed :(

I agree :( Probs not many of those trabants left!

I feel more sorry for that range rovers clutch! Can smith/turps not drive manuals?!
George Marriott well, pushing a heavy weight around up hills does tend to have that effect on a clutch driver independent
Yes I'm so excited for this one, the teaser at the end of next episode was mad
The editing is SUPERB
I cannot wait to see what fresh and unholy terror Episode #3 has in store.
Tonight..
Turps squeezes a horn;
Trott chases a bag;
and Ross tries out some art.
Is Top Hat sponsored by Jalopy and Jaffa Cakes?
This was sponsored by the makers of Jalopy yeah. If Jaffa Cakes didn't sponsor the entire yogscast by now I'd be suprised
Jalopy and Kinder Eggs
If Jaffa Cakes didn't sponsor Simon, they're not gonna sponsor ANYBODY
As a Tire Tech myself, I laughed ridiculously hard when turps put on the spare tire backwards and at pretty much everything else theses guys did in general, but be safer plz as hilarious as this is.

Glob... I think I know what my mom feels like at times now...
The thing is, this was filmed ages ago when the yogs had the old office so I highly doubt that any of them sustained serious injuries. Unless they have clones...?
Someone's gonna get laid in college
@SanninShiMa I know this was recorded long ago. I meant it for future video from this day forward. Just want 'em to be more on the safe side. :P
this is infinitely more hilarious after hearing smith say he's dyspraxic in the latest trials video
16:09 - lefty loosey, righty tighty Turps!
Overall I think the Blue Trabant was only in marginally poorer condition than the range rover by the end.
Maybe add helmets to the shopping list..
Yeah, maybe a seat belt too.
Helmets are for white people with kids
Hat Films are so good and with their content trying different things and trying to please everyone wish they were getting millions of views for each video!
This is the most Top Gear thing you have ever produced and I love it so much
Been looking forward to this all week!
I feel so sorry for the poor guy who spent so much time doing up the blue car, only to sell it to the hats...
Anonnymouse Hacker yeah, quite a lot of time and skill would have gone into lowering the roof height alone
They probably should have put more work into the engine.
Half of this video calls out how CRAP the custom job was.... so no
its not the original engine .. the original one is 2 cylinder 2 stroke that one in the blue one i 4 cylinder 4 stroke .. it definetly had some problmes with the fuel i guess
Looked like A VW 1,3L to me, would put a likely bet on Carbs being filled with crap
Watching Smith' car fill up with what I assume to be smoke from the clutch at the end gave me so much joy xD
So for any of you wanting a Soviet Era car, you better buy a range rover as well to help it get going down the road.
You might need another car to get the Range Rover going too.
IamCombustible xD yes
Still better than new Top Gear
Wait why does Bluey have two steering wheels?
Early soviet auto pilot
Its Polish. Probably converted from right to left hand drive and they didn't bother taking the old one out. (I have no clue, im just guessing)
a) No soviet countries drove on the right hand side
b) As far as I know I don't think you can just attach another steering column to the steering rack, although I don't know the 'biology' of Trabants. Also I feel that wouldn't be legal lol
It's probably just something for the passenger to play with, might have just left the old dashboard in after converting to rhd
Most likely it was an instructor's car. Used to teach people to drive trabants in race or a track layout.
Callum Grant Because COMMUNIST RUSSIA
Alsmiffy's reaction to Turps' crash is the funniest thing!
next time: smith loses his mind, rams a car, and slowly finds out how much fun it is to drive like a lunatic
Turps and Smith, the best two man pit crew. Lol
I spent the whole of this video in tears, possibly one of the funniest hat films videos yet!
You guys should ask your subscribers whether they have some interesting cars you can review like most car youtube channels do. Theres about 900k of us, there must be some interesting cars out there. I'd love to see you guys do a car thing on the side!
What I learned from this episode
Trott does not get along well with inanimate plastic objects.
Smiffs a bad jacker
Ross has common sense.
Who'd have thought.
it is a good day when theres an upload on hat films extra and hat films.
Why is this so well produced? Despite the whole, ripping off Top Gear 😁
This is just a tribute.
I thinks it's meant to
Harvey Budgen "Ripping of Top Gear." Not everything will be 100% original.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I think this series is amazing!
Absurdly well produced is what Hat Films do.
This isn't great as far as Hat Films live-action stuff is concerned.
You guys need to do a spin off car show. That would be epic.
scrapyard wars meets Top Gear. God I love this!
Good god this was stupendous, right on lads. Love the top gear narration.
SUCH STRONG GORGEOUS BOIKS. I AM PART OF THE 7%...THE 7% MUST RISE UP AND DO BUGGER ALL ELSE EXCEPT WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW.
Please do more content like this! Absolutely great.
I approve the amount of times the boys almost does with this whole Trabant shenanigan.
Watching Trott attempt to catch a plastic bag made me laugh, then consider the futility of existence
This series is the best thing ever created??
Any chance of stuff like this becoming much more regular? You guys do it so well
Trottisan: "is it in"
rossperu: "no, not yet hang on..." "I´ve heard that before"
ross is a comedy genius
You can hear Turps' head hit the steering wheel
Pshh, what are they talkin' about, it's still got the horn attached, the blue car's fine! XD
Really though, this challenge is great so far, I'm absolutely loving these! I'm very glad Turps survived this episode, haha, also poor Trott getting attacked by that plastic bag had me in stitches, I can't wait to see what happens next
It's a pitty the blue one didn't work!
they pushed the car, he had it in neutral and tried to start it.... like moving it is gonna make it start? you know BUMP START is that you have ignition ON, you hold the clutch put it in 1-2 gear, release it to make the engine turn = start XD
Hat Films is the new Top Gear UK
Love this series, lads. Looks like it's a lot of work, but I'd love to see more TopGear-like content.
Been in a few car crashes now and not gonna lie mate you took that like a champ and without seatbelts but you werent going over 20 mph so ehhh but nice one mate!
This is criminally underviewed
I love these videos so much, classic Top Gear vibes
Lost it when smith shouted "POWER" and rammed the trabant Xd
I think Top Gear got 2 important points figured out: You start with at least working cars. And you bring a professional mechanic along...
Oh and about 10 Camera and Support Cars.
I know it won't happen, but I want them to be the next hosts of top gear.
Smith looks hilarious sitting in the blue one.
Kinda sad these cars are getting wrecked.
I'm personally, at some point in the future, gonna buy a GAZ-24 Volga. Kind of a dream Jalopy of mine.
I love these videos so much, i am crying with laughter 😂😂😂
Top Hat is the best show of 2017
My most favourtie Top Gear Episode YET! ;)
I was so excited for this video! 😁
I vote that oookoo be introduced into the dictionary as an official insult
This series is the best thing ever oh my god :')
Who needs Top Gear!
Ah, this fills the Top Gear void in my life. Feels good.
From the sound of it, that engine-swapped Trabant had basically no oil in it. That engine is dead as a doornail.
"AM I STRAIGHT?" -Turps, 2017
I feel bad for that Range Rover. RIP clutch
These videos have been brilliant :) I'm loving it...just keep making them if you can, soooo good :D
That plastic bag wasn't having any of it haha
Quality content guys, amazing!!
Love how smith tries to lift THE WHOLE CAR with that crappy jack 😂
5:10 poor Simon
i think this vid goes well with a quote from smith recently "i have trouble with empathy"
tbh i hardly noticed
I jizzed a little when I saw this in my sub box
I've been waiting for this one!
#TrottGear
So great 😁 more crap car challenges please!
Plastic was not Trott's friend this fateful day.
This should have been called top hat
I wouldn't have jacked them up under the sill, and did they torque the wheel nuts?
We need more of this!
Jaffa cakes keep you in the zone? that should be their marketing campaign
If I showed this to my uncle he would die from heart attack. He's a trabant enthusiast owns two trabants and a warburg.
this has made me laugh the hardest ive laughed in a while
This week on Top Gear!
Smith is obviously Clarkson (case in point: yelling POOOWWEEEEERRR!!), Trott certainly feels like a Hammond; shortest of them all, does things like chasing after plastic bags (and not really succeeding). That leaves Ross as May, which isn't entirely accurate, but also not too far off. Turps, however, is just a madman. Probably closest to a Clarkson-type.
One of these men is a father. God help us all.
Is that left side panel from the Trabant made from plywood?
19:44 POWAAAHHH!!!!!
Think you guys should get a segment on the new top gear!
Always knew smith was gonna be the clarkson of the group
the next Top Gear bois! pls make more! this is hilarious
Smith jacking the car up right in the middle, wow
"On the last episode we were three strands of string away from probably killing people because of our own negligence."
Fixed.
I can't believe Turps just got back into the car after the initial crash. Crazy bastard boik
trott is definitely the Richard Hammond of Hat gear
the kitty cats and smith is definitely Jeremy Clarkson.
I think these guys play too much GTA. You don't respawn after getting WASTED irl, stunt lads. XD
And on that bombshell!...
You know, this may seem hard to believe, but I think that Ross and trot are winning
This is the best episode of Top Gear since Clarkson left
POWAAAA! He should work with Clarkson!
Blue car would be a sick rat rod.
