Ahh the days you used to be able to sit in a car with a mate....
And not be doing a drug deal
@Sydney Pettitt Going outside.... Remember those days?
Jonny's Mondeo crash story takes me back to 2001 when I was lucky enough to be invited on the Honda Civic Type R launch in the Isle Of Man. I was paired with a young local journo but thought I was the lucky one as I got hold of the keys first and did the first stint of driving. It turns out I had made a mistake as when we swapped seats after an hour or so we arrived at the start of the mountain section of the TT course and the local police had completely closed the road so we could really test the VTEC without worrying about other road users. Now I'm a bad passenger at the best of times but as this young scribbler wheelspun away from the startline I immediately felt nervous, and as it turns out rightly so. I still remember him saying to me, "it's alright, I know these roads really well", but unsurprisingly he didn't know the grip levels of the Type R and not three corners in we understeered at quite some speed into a low flint wall during a left hander, setting the airbags off and chucking the car into the air. Once we had landed I couldn't open the passenger door to get out of the poor hissing, steaming Honda, but after clambering out of the drivers door I saw that the whole nearside of the Civic was wrecked, with both wheels missing and the suspension hanging out at different angles.
It must have been one of the first EP3 Civics to go the scrapper, and strangely I didn't see the local journo during the evening meal....
Probably the Gooseneck. Someone on the island must have a contract to fix that low wall, there's a chunk of it missing now! Bonus point if yer man binned it at Waterworks, that takes proper ineptitude. P.S: IOM police ran Accord Type-R's at the time, I have a picture of my Lada Samara parked between two of them at the Hairpin..
Hamish McFearless yep, I’ve just had a look on Google Maps and it’s the first decent right hander from when you come out of the trees. It’s certainly looks like that wall has been patched up a few times!!
When I retire I plan to do a PhD thesis on "the psychology of car parking" - I've spent years trying to understand the thought processes behind some people's bizarre parking space selection choices
My theory is the chance of someone parking next to you is the product of how valuable your car is and how many spare spaces there are around it.
So I park at the far end of a lot and when I return I find a rusty pick-em-up truck within inches of my car. Just for fun? I assume so. And the lot is nearly empty.
My PhD will be "talking bollox with a mate while in a car"
Jumping the humpback bridge with the E-Golf 😂 I see, let's not tell anybody about this, especially the dealership 😂
14 minutes and 5 seconds away from reality, thanks guys
"... I just stood there as a spare part..." Damn clever observational comedy right there. They are both so ff-ing eloquent! God I love this channel...
Probably the best self-induced self-isolation car chat in the world.
Richard steadfastly refuses to wear an Aquadrivel watch so Jonny has to wear two
Johnny “Two Clocks” Smith.
When one watch simply isn’t enough...
If you were an east end gangster, “Johnny Two Clocks” would be your name. And as you were out running the rozzas you’d shout “SPOAWAAAATTTT”
thats a very kind way to say "are they traveling folk"
A+ Smith & Sniff for the ages.
I would do anything to passenger with Parry-Jones, fucking hell.
I tried to tell someone about this channel, I said how good it is, but you try and explain what this channel is, two blokes eating lunch talking bollox. Fucking amazing and love it.
never buy a car from Jonny Smith
You guys need to interview Richard Parry Jones the guys sounds brilliant/mad. Also jumps of hump back bridges completely by accident had me in stitches.
Sadly, he died in a tractor accident soon after this.
@@richardharrold9736 what a loss very sad.
@@rpjwhite he did do an excellent long form interview for Gareth Jones' On Speed podcast, worth a listen... RPJ was a genius, and a very warm, funny guy with it.
Best part, Richards blank expression when Johnny was talking about highend German caravans....excellent again guys
This video is absolutely what I needed. Fantastic as always
You are very right about the Defender. They have a personality. There is nothing better than having both windows down, radio up loud and zipping through the traffic. It’s quite quick once it gets going. But then other days, after the ten minute warmup, things don’t always get going as you’d like. I love it though.
I detest people who park inches from you when there’s loads of free spaces. What I don’t get is why they always park with their drivers door next to you so it’s a nightmare for them to get out and will hit your car.
Same people who line up at the urinal next to you for a piss in an empty public toilet. Wrong-uns
Thoughts on Metcalfe’s Garage of Grot?
Chuck it in and sort it out driving style, love it 😂
This is hilarious got a story about going over a humpback bridge in about 98 my mate had a nova with chopped springs cable tied in to stop them moving we landed and it bottomed but stayed bottomed out the spring had dislocated itself after the puny cable tie system snapped . Never went out in a nova again .
Probably the best thumbnail I've seen this year
Loved the story about 'RPJ'... What a guy!
We NEED the footage of the crash
we need footage of the walk of shame
I don't believe a word of it
10:39
“Which car?”
“I’m not telling you”
Pretty sure the jig is up, I’ll bet it was the Golf 😆
I hope your archive is vast to get us through this. I think I need to go back and start from the beginning again.
What? Let's eat crisps and drink while lacking, that won't annoy anyone
Thank you both for this pointless trash conversion. I'll be back for more 🦐✔️
These two absolutely need to go and tell some car stories on Vinwiki
Cannonball Run tales are getting a bit yawny now!
I went and watched the 5th Gear review of that Mondeo. The editors did a good job of hiding the smash.
Didn't they just.
The Gareth Jones on Speed ep. with RPJ is well worth a listen, but didn't convey this aspect of him.
Why am I not surprised you have extensive knowledge of caravans .. I enjoyed this one ..
I missed the joke at the end of that bit. What did he say after the two caravans he mentioned?! Sounds both historical and very local dj? No clue whatsoever... But it clearly was a shared (inside) joke. Love it how they riff off of eachother...
Never mind, this one went straight ove rmy head, found a comment further down: Eccles Onyx. Still doenst make sense to me... Damn. Usually I'm quite up to speed.
@@jwvandegronden Eccles Onyx ..which was then connected to a scrap metal business .. :)
Graham Tuson ~ Ah! LOL! That explains it... thanks mate.
I love these videos - easily the best motoring RUclips channel.
I know they're a bit out of date now but I would definitely fit a Becker Stereo in place of whatever that single DIN thing with the huge metal knob is in the Defender
You reminded me of the humpback bridge near yelverton in devon its at the bottom of a downhill and the opposite side is scared with exhaust marks mine were from a mini . a mk1 sirroco that ended up facing the wrong way , a volvo 240 gl in shit brown and a mk3 escort oh and a pug 205 gt lol
RIP RPJ
I remember my old man launching his old Passat B2 estate over a humpback bridge with me in the car as a kid. That was a big barge to get airborn. Great fun!
Cheers chaps, much appreciated. :))
Keep up the Great chats guys, maybe now though in separate cars 🚗 just saying 😂😂😂👍
Hey, share your crisps, I'm now hungry
Worst thing to eat when filming, a packet of crisps, it's either the russle of an idiot searching for that elusive crisp, or the crunching of said crisp in someone's mouth, brilliant
I often park next to other solitary vehicles in parking lots rather than in a bunch of empty spaces - because:
a) I feel like I don't want the other car to be lonely
b) I'm parking challenged so it helps me line up correctly
I am completely OCD with Jonny opening the bag of crips at the bottom ( check the barcode).
Locked down away from my landrover ahhhh. Nice guys
Went on a proper off road course in a lightweight land rover years ago. 5 up. Driver decided to gun it up a slope , not realising it was a steep decent. Traction up. Sky. Air. Engine fan through radiator. Good night Vienna. Walk home.
Brilliant as always, chaps. :)
5th gear must have that footage somewhere?😉
Kneel before Zod!
Binge watching Smith & Sniff is my new fetish
Somebody must have got the sack over the RPJ wheel nut saga.
wait... 2 watches Jony??? is this new?
I want to try wasabi peas now!
Eccles Onyx, brilliant ending :)
I can just imagine some caravan club sitting around their onyx coffee table
The crisps and Wasabi peas are quite annoying Johnny, but I think you could do better. Pork scratchings perhaps? Vegetarian of course.
N R by definition pork scratchings can’t be vegetarian, if they are vegetarian then they aren’t pork scratchings.
Jabber 1974 Thanks for pointing that out Jabber. I hadn’t realised that bits of pig weren’t suitable for vegetarians.
@@nr5494 🤣
Fucking 2 watches! hopefully more watchers..
It's 19ft jonny...I have a Hobby prestige on the same chassis ...🤣🤣👌. Who knew you were a Caravan Nerd ....
Top Trumps Caravans...Amazing! (crying at my desk) haa haa haa
Crisp eating and teeth picking really enhances the viewers enjoyment 🙄
Eee, when I were a lad. . . If ya told kids that today, they won't believe ya.
Starting to think Carpervert is now buying snacks on their "how f**king noisy will this be on the video" rating...
Jeez the boy never stops eating and drinking lol
Mummy knows now.
these are good!
Nice video but the whole crisp thing really didn’t add to it. Who is sadder, you for making a crisp eating video, or me for watching it?
two watches ??
Mmmmmm wasabi peas.
Kneel before XOD
Is it necessary to wear 2 watches when timing your piss? 🤔
Jonny
Why two watches ?
To see if you notice.
Isn't Ricard Parry Jones Australian?
Welsh
Are you going to make more remotely? Maybe record a stream of the two of you playing online GTA or Farming Simulator or whatever else you'd want to play and talk bollox over the top of it.
Why is Jonny wearing two watches
Because he really really likes the carfection look.
Can't be a motoring journalist with just one single watch on, next he'll be over pronouncing his Rrrrrrrrr's for surrrrrrrre.
His own and the the garbage made by the channel sponsor.
The mondeo review, 13 years ago: ruclips.net/video/r2a2JerrjOI/видео.html You're welcome! :)
I wish you were my mates
Should we be attempting to guess the services???? My guess is Baldock on the A1M.
I think they said it was in another episode.
fifth gear staff wanted to kill you, clearly
🚑
please don't eat on camera
This advertisement for watches is getting to the level of Rich energy, really trying too hard, not doing the brand much love
2 watches on my wrists was a joke!
There is a monster of a humback bridge at Chatsworth house, back when the RAC rally used to do a stage there we (as 18 year old idiots) used to blast through at night. My mates 3 day old Fiat Unu turbo ie got totalled after he launched it when it landed it sort of just pancaked and broke more or less everything underneath and buckled the front end. The 2 rear windows popped out and the boot wouldn't shut along with the doors not opening. Like a tin can.
RIP RPJ
