Imagine being those school kids. You're on your lunch break and suddenly James May breaks down in a Lamborghini outside your gates.
Nice kit car!
@@abramo7700 it's not a kit car you philistine!
1998 Subaru Impreza 22b STI bro I see you every where how!!!???
@@jakesingleton8273 ;)
I’ve been watching James May for about as long as I can remember so that would be a dream come true
"I'm following Jeremy in his Maserati, doing 48 miles an hour, and I get the distinct impression that he's going flat-out." I love that line, it always makes my day.
Any idea what the music is right there?
@@pendremacherald6758 A hazy shade of winter by Simon & Garfunkel
Jeremy's car had a $10,000 lawn mower engine swap.
Is a small block V8 more expensive?
Yep. What a heap of shit
Yea sounds about right
He payed 7000 for it.
@@Nathaniel2256Studios which had 10k spent on the engine. Which is what OP has said
"It was only 7K pounds, and the owner spent 10K rebuilding the engine".
Every old car guy looks at his shoelaces, embarrassed for Clarkson.
Clarkson: More like the owner spent 10K rebuilding the engine so it just "works" and not "run properly".
Also Clarkson: It was rebuilt using a hammer.
@Joe H Nono. He just didn't tell the whole truth.
Maybe he said it *needs* 10k in engine work and was misheard. I've seen this happen before too "It needs new brake pads, about $100" gets misheard as "It's got new brakes that cost $100"
@Drew Kangaroo It could also be that Italian cars tend to have unreliable engines to begin with lol
@Joe H Lied through his teeth, he did.
5:16 Jeremy checking his gages: "Fuel...depends on what sort of corner I'm going round"
@Qimodis gagues
@@AshleyPomeroy gauges actually
"Gauge" is standard, "gage" is an uncommon, chiefly US spelling, and "gague" is _right out._
The panel falling off when Hammond closes the door at 5:48 and 7:01 gets me every time.
I never noted it XDDD
it's perfect!
The car itself gave us a running gag
What has he done? *Shuts door* Trim falls off, LOL!
That's it, it's parked! *Shuts door* Trim falls of.
again.
JK Productions I
yeah, it happens every time he closes it, hahaha
Are you still alive 4 years ago was a long time ago
i swear i could barely hold back the sip that i took seconds before he did this.. xD
“It’s not a Ferrari, Teeth, be quiet”
Classic
"It! Is! It! I?!"
James to jezza: “you got mechanic butt cheeks .”that is definitely going to help with the gay jokes.
It actually IS a Ferrari. Before 1976, it was made by Dino and therefore had Dino badges. Starting in '76 production was taken over by Ferrari and the Dino badges were replaced by Ferrari's. Richard said his 308 was made in 1979. And interesting fact, it was the first production Ferrari to have the iconic "Prancing Horse" hood badge.
"Let's get back to the action"
Pot and kettle spring to mind
This is one episode where you can't help but root for all three of the cars. Yes, they're old, yes, they're cheap, and sure, they're falling apart, but they're damned gorgeous, and somehow you have to believe that maybe, just maybe they can hold onto their old glory.
Of course, we all know how it ends for them.
427Arbok at least for the Ferrari it ends with it being bought by Richard, being completely rebuild and restored and still being owned and driven by him.
Seriously? He still owns this car?
Yes. It even appeared on a British game show once: ua-cam.com/video/L8En7Qooyx0/v-deo.html
Unpopular opinion, Lamborghini has made some hideous cars over the years and that Urraco is certainly one of them. It's just... boring. Even for it's era, Lamborghini made 3 other cars at the same time as the Urraco and they were all better looking. Mixed opinions on the Maserati, I'm not a big fan of them.
@@jasonhook3884 You have right to your own opinion.
And it's wrong.
I love the shot of Richard closing his door, and the panel breaking.
Reminds me of the Lotus (I think) where he had to hold up the window with his hand
"Oddly, James began by doing housework" 🤣
That sounds like me when I'm baking! I always have to clean up before starting to bake!
When french and italians get together to make a car I should run for my life.
Taking notes.
That's like the greatest advice ever!
@@deerlord2363 What???? Bugatti's are brilliant!!
The mother of idiots are always pregnant.
Buggati's are german, not french. And is true, french car's reliability is just rubish
@@NA-gf1zy Bugatti from origin is Italian actually. Dont' judge cars only by nationality. An example: Bentley's are still British, they're owned by German VAG Group still they're built in Britain.
*Overtaken by a caravan for driving too slowly*
Obi Wan Kenobi: "You have become the very thing you swore to destroy"
"When French and Italians get together to make a car, run for your life", as a Citroën SM owner I have to say, he's right. The car is brilliant but that Maserati engine is a nightmare to maintain in good conditions. My dad used to say that this car is only doing well at 200 kph, anything less and it becomes capricious.
When the camper van overtook Jeremy's Maserati and his reaction is priceless!
Theres a lot of music from pulp fiction in this episode
Or lock stock
Or fistful of dollars
Or greek
I heard Boney M during Hammond's lap
@@preetamdasika7636 was it???
Every time one of them says "well, it could be worse"... you know the next scene is going to be James May standing next to his broken car.
He wasn't wrong about the Merak being one of the prettiest cars ever made. Still looks great now I think.
Like a Lancia.
Beautiful But Broken.
The bonnet is eating my head! One of my favourite Clarkson quotes.
Bullet*
TODO DH No, bonnet. Come on man...
Yeah it's "bonnet". It's what we English call the "hood". Jeremy's head is being squeezed by the bonnet lid.
@@DaveWraptastic p@@@
Lol when hood acts like a old freezer hatch. "The hatch is eating my head" to keep it open while looking in it for what you want.
The fact that Jeremy has a doctorate in engineering and is the most mechanically inept just tickles me
Clarkson has an honorary Doctor of Engineering degree. Not a real PhD.
it its james may who hasing it :S
The design of their electric goeff is a perfect example of how not to give out roles.
It's an honorary Doctorate in Engineering. It was awarded for his work in journalism for and history of Engineering... Academia is weird.
Clarkson's Maserati has less horsepower (left) than my Fiat Grande Punto...
Yep. But which would you prefer to drive for the rest of your life?
+Scott Sherman Considering how much the maserati lost, it wouldent LAST till the end of his life.
+Carrack090 Haha, well yeah but still.
Exactly, I'm only 20 - still have a few more years left in me....
+Czar Christoph 3 or 4 maybe...
Car: knock knock.
Jeremy: Who's there?
Car: Old worn rod bearings!
***** probably used all the worn parts
Joel Artursson put thicker oil in it.
10k rebuild. No new big end bearings fitted.
The engine begun to knock after Jeremy run without coolant around the track.
@@neutronalchemist3241 tho it had no power before that so i call bs on the rebuild most of time an extreme overheat warps the head and block before the big end fail or if its cast iron cracks the head .block
5:47 xd.. I love it how when Hammond slams his door, a piece of the side of the door just falls off... XD
“What has he done?”
That Maserati sounds just like my old 04 Grand Cherokee right before one of the cylinders (or pistons I should say) decided they'd enjoy life better outside the engine.
Lol omg, I'm glad I found this comment! I'm not reallly a car enthusiast, maybe in the past, and I don't even drive lol. BUT my dad drove a few Cherokees when I was growing up, and literally that's what I was thinking Jeremy's Maserati sounded like XD (My dad bought only used and did his own repairs lol).
Take the muffler off and you've got at least a year of my childhood's soundtrack XD That thing is chugggin' lol
To put something in perspective about the Merak; that SS badge cost the original owner about $250 in today's money
Hold on, the badge was 39 quid in 2005, that's about £66 or $80 today. Even if you run it with US inflation it's only $112.
"My oil temperature.. Minus 20. Fuel.. Depends on what sort of corner I am going around." Love this show
2:33 Technically, Jeremy has an honorary doctorate.
3:10 Hammond's narration is hilarious
5:59 ... that ferrari sound
its not a Ferrari!!!
alexander syguu It is
Mega Centurion not
Sounded good didn't it?
No, it's a George.
I just love the Greek music used for this challenge. Even the syrtaki was used at the best possible moment.
I like how most of the background music are hits from the 70’s starting with Roxy Music’s “Love is The Drug” for the 70’s supercars.
That black Lambo is beautiful. I'd buy it if only it were mobile.
I’d buy it, then remove and replace EVERY part of running gear
I only watch Top Gear for the plot:
The plot: *3:45*
5:48 min! LOL! Look at the doorboards! ;D
milhouse147 you saw that too!?
When that happened I lost it 😂😂😂
The music in this episode is so damn good.
Not the 'music' from the Maserati though!
Stig's Italian Cousin some say if he walks for more than 30 meters he breaks down, all we know is he's not the stig he's the stigs Italian cousin
Like a Kahuna Burger!
Ayyye
It is!
Even though the best parts are clearly Greek and not Italian or French lol :P
The door trim falling off every time Hammond slams the door has me rolling
Holy shit never realized how much the Maserati was knocking haha. What happens when you run the motor with 0 oil pressure and no coolant on a track 😂
whoever rebuild that engine of that Maserati , should be sent to hell
Why? He obviously loved that car.
No one rebuilt that engine. They probably just dumped in some engine rebuild in a can.
@@FlorianDootz How can someone love something so mediocre
@@justinvaughn2277 Ask your mom.
@@FlorianDootz Your mom probably waited too long for the abortion
Great Greek music for Italian cars
Valle Comms 😂
actually turkish music
Rick Sanchez no its greek
@@bananadictator3032 greek belongs the turks sooo
@@ricksanchez9767 it's 100% Greek
The creatures really use great music in the background. This was the dance theme from Zorba the Greek while they were changing their oil and spark plugs..Baboons. And then the lovely Ennio Morricone theme song from Fistful of Dollars...Superb.
Those cars need to swap colors. The Ferrari should be red, the Maserati dark blue, and the Lamborghini yellow.
the dino should stay yellow. its iconic isnt it?
Of course YOU would say something like that.
3:21 sometimes my stepbro…. It’s almost frightening
Clarkson: "When French and Italians come together to make cars, run!"
Stellantis: "I'll pretend I didn't hear that."
Ok who is going to work on the looks more and who is going to work on performance more?
I love how at the beginning of the episode or whatever, Clarkson is praising his Maserati. And now that he learned what really went on (with the badge and horsepower loss), he's saying that you should run when the Italians and French try to make a car together.
I grew up watching these old top gear episodes and it's so weird rewatching them and actually recognising some of the places. 5:53 I never realised it but a couple years ago I had a job where I would drive on that road a few times a week and never noticed it's the spot where James May broke down and got overrun by posh school kids.
3:04 when jeremy cuts the broom he doesn't cut it, it snaps itself apart
Wrong equation, right result lmao
"The only thing we can do to help James now is to just go..." Hahaha, I love these guys
5:46 the door panel falling apart when hammond shuts the door is so class😂😂
''Are you looking where you're going or using The Force?'' Haha, Jeremy's the man.
3:32 Hammond: "I'm actually dawdling." *laughs* "I don't want to win by too much!"
Changing oil and Mikis Theodorakis playing in the background!! Also, every time Jame's car breaks down, rempetiko starts to play.
man that engine knock on that maserati is so bad
MEEP put thicker oil in it. That'll fix it.
@@godgirlsguitars What? 120 weight?
@@AB-80X That's like thicker than differential oil isn't it?
@@godgirlsguitars Yup.
Old car coverage is so much better than al the new cars. It is so much more enjoyable to see cars needing repairs yet still travelling. Especially when they are supercars of old
Who ever is the music producer for this show has amazing taste.
i like that they are playing greek music whenever James has a problem with his car. love it!
1:28 when they go together like that, it looks like the German flag 🇩🇪
Lol yeah
Dutchland dutchland ubber allee
“Teeth, be quiet” is one of the all-time great Top Gear quotes.
4:00 is me when trying to do something on my car, I am a good doctor...
(7:09) This is my first time watching, and did not expect "Jungle Fever" to start blasting in my eardrum!
I always loved the challenges, builds and races the most. They were always the best.
"It isn't a Ferrari! Teeth, be quiet!" _[Almost enraged/annoyed hamster stuttering]_
Best line ever.
Damn these old episodes had really good music in them.
6:05 Is that the Fistful of Dollars theme?
"You evil ma- THAT'S BRILLIANT!" 😂
Just discovered this show. I feel like I've been living under a rock. I shall hide my head in shame now
All the kids were taller than Hammond 🤣🤣🤣
5:55 italian supercar becoming american muscle.
Its the subtle things about classic cars, like the armrest breaking off the door at 5:45 when hammond slams the door shut 😂
i love it when top gear makes challanges and adventures its so entertaining
I love how at the beginning they have a map of Europe, but are only traveling across a small part of England!
That Miserati really just runs on hopes and dreams, doesn’t it?
Love the bit where James goes "I'm quite happy doing this if you'd like to sod off!"
5:48, love how when he closes the door a piece flies off :p
I don't even like cars and I never have, but, I love this programme...Three great presenters...Bravo.
That Maserati tapping..... KILLIN ME
Give the cars to Mike Brewer and Edd China
Agreed.
MIKEK3NT no shit
MIKEK3NTAs far as I remember they did a Lamborghini Merak some time ago. A fabulous car.
TheBimmerfan Lamborghini Merak? What's that?
tavi921 lol
"James had got going, and got stuck, while Jeremy had resorted to shouting."
That's it that's the show
That E30 at 6:18 though! beautiful :'D
omarrrxo its a 318
it was also scrapped
Im digging the Quentin Tarrentino sound track in this series!
2:47 Holy shit, Richard indirectly predicts Jeremy's breakdown later on, never noticed that
0:41 when fuel was 94p a litre 😂
Not that much more now considering 15 years later
Well there has been a fuel crisis
"Are you actually looking at what your doing or are you just using the force"... XD
4:12 lmao
6:50 yes the force he was using. One with the force Hammond is
Idk why I keep laughing so hard when Hammond's door falls apart when he shuts it
They could record Hammond getting off the car (before closing the door) and change the camera to show for example the trio, the cars, whatever, but no, they literally have left it for lolz and fun 😄
I love when Hammond shuts the door and the piece just falls off xD
6:08 Clint Eastwood western music.
Thanks
A fistful of dollars, spot on mate
Anybody notice at 7:01 that part of Hammond's interior door trim came off?
That's the second time lol
1:18 FCA and PSA Group merger in a nutshell
2:39 that’s the W1A theme song
(face palm moment)... at the end, I was like "what about James and his "old school" Lamborghini?" I look to the right of the screen and there's part 4. I wish me and my friends could do something like what these guys are doing.
"while Jeremy has resorted to shouting" ah, a true mechanic
Wait he said he was a doctor of engineering?
Guessing he means honorary doctor.
The thing that cracks me up is Clarkson stopping to gloat at May when his car shuts off like his Maserati doesn't sound like a two stroke with a miss. Lol if I were in a car that sounded like that, I wouldn't say shit if my mouth was full of it 😂😂
6:32 Is that a Nissan Primera on the right? I have that thing! Awesome!
The Japanese car itself is great, just the French engine is falling apart. I am with Clarkson on this one.
That poor Merak really needed a rebuild. He should have used a heaver oil.
I love how James broke down outside that school at lunch and Jeremy and Richard still stopped for further entertainment for the kids!
6:18 the BMW 518 E28 was victim of the scrappage scheme it seems.
D121 ADG

Is The Merak Still Taxed And MOTD
4:50 Why didn't that DOUBLE doctor in engineering adjust the worst of his (I guess) 32 valves?! He is destroying a nice vintage engine and he doesn't care a bit. Men like that are the reason, great cars get rare.
He Didn't adjust the valves, he just changed the oil and spark plugs.
How the hell could a V6 have 32 valves? 🤦
5:24 that's music is Greek guys not Italian. It's bouzouki
0:43 Love how the camera focuses on the AA Renault Trafic and trailer in the background
Bahaha the door at 5:48 XD it falls apart when he shuts it!!!
