This channel will rightly blow up because this is the ONLY Top Gear anyone cares to rewatch

[ticktock]

The shot of Jeremy barreling past and his entire lorry on fire was an era defining moment for 13 year old me 😂

Can’t wait for my comment to be seen 16 years later on this video

“After the gear lever had been removed from Jeremy’s bottom…” 😂😂

"The suspension linkage has come off"
"On your leg?"
"Noo on the lorry" 💀😆

1:55 “less developed countries like Australia and America” I love how the old top gear would poke fun at everyone 😂

[Ngrdr]

"Yes, I know. It's bad."
"Well, it's worse than that..."
Never thought I'd ever hear myself wheezing but here we are xD

It doesn't matter how many times I rewatch this clip, but the Micra flying out the back of Hammond's truck always cracks me up. 😂😂😂

[TheSlamburger]

“What have you got?”

“A lorry.”

“What sort?”

“A big one!”

Still one of my favorite bits from this show.

[timoilonen]

This Top Gear (Clarkson, May, Hammond) is pure gold, and has aged and will age like a fine wine! Legends all three of them!🙌

[Legitster]

Missing: hill start, crash test, the joke about murdering prostitutes.

[TescoRoadman]

“The suspension linkage has come off”

“What on your leg?” 😂

[provigilandchill]

1:10 "It's uhhh... It's, it's an ERF!" 😂
