3:48 James May is known as “captain slow” by clarkson and Hammond, the fact that a random man in Uganda knows him as Captain Slow is a real testament to how popular the show was worldwide
@@grizzlygamer8891 well I don’t know what a true Ugandan accent sounds like so I can’t comment. However in Syria the top gear team were way more popular than they expected to be so I’m not surprised if Ugandans know who they are (whether or not they’ve spent time in the U.K.)
I love how just from watching clips for a few months, you've done the journey almost all Top Gear fans do. Liking Clarkson, then Hammond, then realising just how cool May is.
You've GOT to check out FoodTribe with James May - he's usually making some weird 70's sandwich, and getting the crew (notably the youngest) to try them.
its meant to b the colours of the union jack. red white and blue. also, yes, yes the french helped you out "quite a bit". some might say, if it wasnt for france, you wouldnt have even had the guns to fight with. but our main war at that time was with france. the american independence war was more of a side war for us. the war with france was our main one.
France were so excited sticking it to the British that they bankrolled the whole revolution and knowingly drove their own economy into the ground to do so. Of course the brave men who put their lives on the line deserve the foremost praise, but without France it probably wouldn't have happened. The Britons were quite good at stopping rebellions in the colonies.
Even the grand tour isnt quite scratching the itch, either. Im not sure if it was the limitations of budget in the older episodes, might of made it more relatable? Made them work harder with the tools available? Im unsure.
@@Matt09pearce BBC has claimed ownership of the concept of a "cheap car challenge", and those were the best episodes. So that's why the grandtour is a bit lacking.
@@volundrfrey896the grand tour frankly is better then top gear because well after he Jeremy got fired top gear died and well Amazon revived it into their own the BBC tried to keep it going and in the process killed it
I still think Clarkson is the funniest of the three but May is the most intelligent, he knows more about motors and technology than the other two combined.
Hi Connor...most modern tanks get less than 1 mile per gallon...the M1 Abrams is rated at .6 miler per gallon, I believe. Some tanks that do not have turbine or turbo diesel engines could get more than 1 mile per gallon, but those are pretty few these days...again, I could be wrong. Armored vehicles are not normally rated for miles per gallon...they operate more along the lines of a gallons per hour calculation. I am not sure which episode this is from, but it seems like the boys are driving supercars or hypercars, so fuel mileages of 8 mpg or even 6 mpg would not be out of line...these are probably extremely high performance engines. Also...14:50 Hammond was supposed to be doing the Union Jack...the British flag...but he did the colors such that they looked like French flags...that clip is from the India special when the boys were assigned the mission of promoting British stuff to Indians.💯✌
Mate, these cars drink fuel like an alcoholic out of a rehab. I have a modified tt rs and a Ferrari 328 GTB, if you take the tt rs on track and throw it around you'll barely achieve 3.5 mpg but on the flip side the tt is making 500 hp at the crank. Whilst the 328 is more economical at around 13-15 mpg on city/motorway.
Connor, their calculations of fuel economy - mpg - are what's called "back of an envelope calculations" or "rubbery figures".... Clarkson is a Luddite, and had a measurement of how much fuel he just put into his Hyper-car (like a sports car on steroids) in metric litres, he then has to ask May how to calculate correctly against the miles the car's trip meter measured, the MPG (UK) the car did, so his 6.6 or whatever was more likely to be normally around 10 in regular usage, and it'd be similar for Hammond and May.
Props to you knowing that it was the French who were the deciding factor in that conflict. Most insular yanks I've come across online actually think it was a bunch of farmers 😅. If that was true, we'd still be your boss.
Longitude is up and down because you can see a long way up. Latitude is like Lattice fries that are flat on you plate. While I'm here I might as well teach you about stalactites and stalagmites, too... The tights come down so your hand might go up. Not sure if you have 'tights' in the US or if you just call them all stockings. lol. They are basically leggings/tight trousers for ladies made out of the same material as stockings/nylons/etc. It works very well in the UK and was taught to me when I was 11 years old by a great geography teacher.
Mate you have to see the whole Vietnam episode, when Jeremy becomes a biker, if you ever see 1 full episode that is one of the best.., it can be found on the internet..
I think, I've got blocked ears, any chance raising the volume for just me, please? Can hear but have to concentrate, like yourself listening to us Brits. Thank you for sharing your recaps. 🎅🏻👵🇬🇧
How can you like the french, even the french don't like the french, and they didn't do you any favours going against us, it would have been a lot better if Britain stayed as the head of the country cos later on we would have given it to the people like other countries and then you would have had a fair and civilised society with all the best things the British have given to many other countries like a fair judicial system, a excellent transport network, free health care, which only people who don't understand it say it's no good, yet in America you pay more in tax for your system which costs around $4000 a year from each person compared to the British which is £3000, a year, and you still have to pay for health insurance on top, so I wouldn't be to pleased with the french they didn't do you any favours or any other countries come to think of it, and I'm not hating on anyone, but just look up what they did to Britain straight after the 2nd world war and then when they tried to stop us joining the European union in the 70s, it was only the french who said no, what more could a country do for another? And after millions of dead British and billions of pounds spent to free a people from the Nazis, how ungrateful can you be, and if it happened again we would still go and help them, thats the difference between the two types of people

I'm not sure the guys accent was entirely Ugandan though. He did sound like he's spent a fair bit of time in the south of England.

It was supposed to be the Union jack colours, Red white an blue but he put it as blue white an red which are the old enemies colours France

A clip that has absolutely nothing to do with America.
American: Makes it all about America.

Supercars eat fuel, Clarksons GT40 did 3-4 mpg. They also did a gallon segment to see which supercar was the most efficient.
i just miss old top gear so much better then the new one

The miles per gallon they worked out is for UK gallons. 1 UK Gallon = 1.2 US Gallons, so that 9mpg is 7.5mpg in US units!
I still think Clarkson is the funniest of the three but May is the most intelligent, he knows more about motors and technology than the other two combined.
~"So it is supposed to be US but they made it french?" No, more like it was supposed to be Brittish. 14:40
Watch them try to cross the English channel on homemade boat cars !!

you want to watch clarksons farm its brill
Is it me, or do half these clips not actually appear in the episodes? Or on iPlayer?
Some of them are deleted scenes yes
I'm a May fan too. He's the one I'd want a pint with
Props to you knowing that it was the French who were the deciding factor in that conflict. Most insular yanks I've come across online actually think it was a bunch of farmers 😅. If that was true, we'd still be your boss.
Yup, that is how it goes, we all end up with May cause he is the kindest of them.
They're trying to promote Britain in India, but Hammond arranged the colours like on the French flag. Not sure how you could do the Union Flag though.
Hi Mac.. just a little reminder.. Australia cancelled the French Submarine contract.. because... we didn't want subs fitted with a reverse gear.
The Union Jack is also Red White and Blue
The one true red white and blue
@@Delicious_J damn right. Rule Britannia!

Don't forget British Imperial gallons are bigger than American gallons, so their mpg is worse than you think.

the red blue and white represents the union jack flag
James May is my fav!

Watch the Mongolia trip. God damn it's funny. The Grand Tour - Survival of the Fattest
you should check out "Stewart Lee and Top Gear" - a slightly different slant on TG :D Very funny too.
Check out the Stuart Lee Top Gear stand up bit...it's hilarious.
To me to this day Jeremy is the funniest, the others not to far off though.
This seems like a load of unaired clips. Not the boys best work.
Jib, you need a haircut mate :)
These arnt the funniest moments there are so many better ones

I enjoy the actual reaction parts, but you are so clueless and you miss so much by talking over stuff with your inane comments.
20 minutes in nope ..i still can not stand mister Clarkson can not watch anymore but will not hit dislike
