This is the top gear segment that started it all for me. I saw the car in a Guinness book of world records 2014 almanac and just had to learn more about it. And low and behold, Lord Clarkson had just the video I needed to see.
I love the fact the TC production crew don't give a shit about the hundreds of supercars that they intact with, but someone puts a moped engine in a Littletyke's car, and they can't get enough.
@@gilumasounds5965 so when you go to the supermarket do you get annoyed that the supermarket gets paid and not the farmer…. As it same situation here with the BBC, Clarkson makes the show. BBC paid him with a contact 😱 plus Clarkson didn’t have to pay the risk, cars, budget, legal fees etc etc. Ffs what u on about?
Here's the twist - imagine if the supermarket very publicly and scandalously cut all ties with the farmer because of the farmer's behavior that was deemed immoral, and a highly controversial product that was deemed completely unacceptable by the supermarket’s standards. Basically, they're telling the whole world that they do not want to be associated with this farmer anymore. Yet, they continue selling and profiting from this same controversial product with the farmer’s face plastered on it, and they're even creating new marketing channels to push it further. If they said he's out for a reason, doesn't cashing in and creating new channels to promote his old stuff kinda muddle the message, don't you think? It's media, not vegetables.

As a dedicated cyclist, who doesn't mind riding in the densest of all traffic, I would probably be terrified in this thing. Because when cycling and you see danger coming, you could jump off your bike, you could use arms and legs to potentially lessen an impact. In this thing, you are cramped together without much of possible movement, whatever is coming for you, you basically have to accept it and wait for the impact. Especially since you are so low and tiny with this. A Dodge Ram would run over you and not even recognize it.
Iv watched this multiple times in my life, and iv only just clocked onto the fact when they used it indoors they had the exhaust re routed to some kind of containment or filter! It always did play on my mind how they got away with that 2 stroke in a place like the BBC! Anyone got any insider info on what kind of filter they used to contain the 2 stroke emissions? Haha
Now imagine driving that where I live in northern New England where most of us drive 4wd trucks. And big ones. My neighbor got a Smart car thing while her van was being fixed and she said it was a terror to drive from fear of being squashed...And that's like 4 times the size of this car at least. If not 6 times bigger. And my Blazer which isn't especially large makes it look like a tot's car.
The reason they don't build cars like these anymore is because the niche is now entirely occupied by scooters and mopeds. Some are even available with a covered canopy and doors not too dissimilar to P50's cabine
One thing I have always wondered... Was the moment when the car was seen at the back of the BBC broadcast scripted? Or is there genuinely a BBC broadcast when out of nowhere you can see the top of the P50?
Like in a circus, an orangutan in a comically small vehicle... And before anyone reports me for this comment, bear in mind that Jeremy was called "orangutan" several times by Hammond and May.

This is brilliant tv. It's impossible that this much quality can ever be repeated. Top Gear with J, J and R was the best Sunday Night entertainment
It was, Top Gear was my gateway drug into British television. But it was always the best.

worlds smallest production car*
Inflation - went up by 11.111%
Yeah, this can't be the world's smallest car. I have a couple sitting on a shelf that are smaller
I’d argue that even though Clarkson’s P45 was shorter and narrower, it was still taller so overall, it’s bigger.
