classic means old a cherished like an antique. Thumper got two series of TG cancelled. The series with Fred, Paddy and Monkey are great and less contrived.
Classic Top Gear are pre-OG trio era before the first reboot with Hammond, May and Clarkson where it is just a rotation of presenters like Noel Edmonds and such, so yeah
5:46 "The only thing I know about Liechtenstein is they make more false teeth than anywhere else in the world... which is probably why Hammond has brought us here!"
Can't belive you guys were here on the flüela years ago, it is leterally 15 minutes from me, and I ride it all summer long with friends, happy that you liked it as much as I do now😁
@@EnforcerX71 Ironic how he wants to go to Switzerland but few years later on a different show they finally went to Switzerland, but we all know what happened tbh
This was the episode that inspired all of my road trips...From Scotland to driving the Susten, Grimsel & & Furka passes in Switzerland. Thank you blokes your Top Gear episodes were the best and always will be. ❤😎👍
I drove this pass a few years ago - absolutely loved it. Now they must have closed the pass just fpr yhem because it is NEVER this empty there are always super cars coming in the opposite direction which can make the hairpin corners tricky. The locals told me that if they want to donthis at speed they do it at night. In fact we encountered a couple at midnight on the Jauffenpass.
I was a kid when this episode first came out. Next week, I am going to Bormio on holiday. Amazing how the trio intertwined with our lives and love of cars.
You’d think that for the 8 entire extra years the BBC could have made this for, they’d forgive the indiscretions, rather than just pretending to still be this and never making anything good ever again
They offered to bring Clarkson back after he was fired for punching a producer and Hammond and May had quit in solidarity with him, but the Trio refused to go back and work for them.
It's crazy this is how I always feel driving around finding awesome back roads!!!!! Yesss sometimes it's super frustrating but mannnn when it works out it's absolutely epic !!!!
Love how they stand at the top of the Stelvio and say " shall we do it? " but they would have already driven up it to get to that point in the first place 😂😂😂 all the filming proves that THE best car in the world is a Range Rover - always at the front of a chain of super cars chasing it but with enough room to have all the camera equipment AND camera man hanging out the boot filming as they go down the road 😉😃😃😃
Lol these cars costs thousands upon thousands of dollars. If driven seriously, that Range Rover wouldn't even see them in front of it. They're driving in a very controlled environment which is why they took it so slowly over the turns.
I appreciate that they're putting old clips like this on UA-cam, but this royalty-free music robs the audience of the sense of grandeur the original possessed.
5:32 the borders on that map aren't right Edit: If you're taking suggestions, which I doubt, I hope we can properly see the 'boat vs McLaren to Oslo' race (I can't recall it being in any of the DVDs)
I know he makes amends in future supercar excursions. But til this day, I still don't understand what James was thinking by choosing that hardcore Aston. 😂
This feature made me visit Stelvio after seeing it on tv.. nice road, man! P.S. my Audi tdi wasn't the most amazing ride but the road was. Is this still open?
I'd have the Gallardo. I'm surprised James didn't go for the standard 911 GT3 (997). It's a lightweight car, it was available at the time and it would have been ideal for finding the best driving road. It would have been far more suitable for the Aston Martin V8 Vantage N24. The N24 is more suitable for the track, rather than the road.
@davidkato1150 you are talking as if mountain passes are made up of all straight aways, its fun to drive because of all the winding downhill and uphill roads, no one goes there to break speed records and 180 km/h is plenty to have fun, still better than U.S speed limits lol
has anyone ever put a genuine estimate to how much it cost the BBC to axe Clarkson? had to be loads in missed revenue. does the current top gear even make it's money back? never watched a single episode and never will.
Which supercar would you like to drive on the Stelvio Pass?
I'd love to drive that Gallardo Jeremy drove.
ford streetka
A would like to drive a Bugatti
McLaren F1, it has to be
Kia Picanto
Top gear "classic" is the BBC realising yes we do indeed like the actual top gear better than whatever they did after the iconic trio left.
classic means old a cherished like an antique. Thumper got two series of TG cancelled. The series with Fred, Paddy and Monkey are great and less contrived.

Right. Just like the other t-thing

You are simple, indeed
I did this tour with my mates this year on our motorcycles, it was truly breathtaking.
I'm deeply envy. Your experience is officialy noted in my dreamlist.
8:30 and 10:48 The music when they find the best road is Mystic Prelude. Glad they kept that!
Do you know what's the one around 4:20 ?
@@aze559Steamboy main title by John Powell
It's not the original soundtrack though. Original songs were Dario Marianelli - Evey Reborn at 8:30 and Antonio Pinto - Requiem at 10:48
Mystic prelude by who? I can't find this
What's the music at 11:19 ?
legendary episode. I'll never forget watching this episode together with my friends in the dorm.
These Top Gear Specials really took you places... the scenery and such was simply amazing

Classic TG Thanks 4 the nostalgia
" we should have just come here on a f**king bus " love his rant, man went diabolical
Jeremy: Trying to defend his choice of driving in Maggiore.
Richard and James: Actually mad, not having his BS.
Hammond wanted to go to Switzerland, he's in no position to moan.
@@EnforcerX71
And James wanted Austria.
@@EnforcerX71 Ironic how he wants to go to Switzerland but few years later on a different show they finally went to Switzerland, but we all know what happened tbh
jeremy went to early, they hadnt built the gran turismo track yet lol
Even the name, Stelvio Pass, sounds like the gateway to a hidden realm of the Elves in Middle Earth. Truly a majestic place!

Imagine, a team of dozens of people traveling with them having helicopters, big cameras, expensive cars... the times of their lives, that's for sure!
1:13
EXTREMELY rare footage of Jeremy admitting he did something wrong, even slightly
I was a kid when this episode first came out. Next week, I am going to Bormio on holiday. Amazing how the trio intertwined with our lives and love of cars.
One of my favorite TG Videos!! Nostalgic!❤️

@@drkushajagadeesh6347No it didn't. It's not "woke" to fire someone for punching their boss, dumbass
This episode is my favorite of all time. Especially given the vehicles chosen.
That Lambo might well be my dream car, the looks and the sound are just perfection❤🔥🔥
We wont forget that the BBC still scrapped the historic Top Gear cars and got rid of them from the museum
8:48 jeremy being as british as one could be!
🤭👍
Huh, that's a coincidence. I was just watching my old DVD of Top Gear challenges with this exact road trip ^^;
This was the first episode that i watched and it makes me love the show ever since
What was your favourite part of the episode?
It's crazy this is how I always feel driving around finding awesome back roads!!!!! Yesss sometimes it's super frustrating but mannnn when it works out it's absolutely epic !!!!
My favourite Top G ear moment, amazing series 10
The best series was 10.
Best museum i've ever seen
Had a question about a game, and 4ra's support was right there, super quick! 🕒🙌
I didn’t even know I was a “car guy” when I was younger. In my 20s, this show made it apparent that I was.
Even when they later found the Transfagarishan Highway, this is still one of the very best roads I have ever seen.
Had an amazing winning streak on 4ra last week, can’t wait to play again! 🏆🎉
A gated manual 1st Gen gallardo superleggera with harness’s …. Perfection
Been getting daily updates from 4ra on match highlights, loving it! 📱🏏
Love how they stand at the top of the Stelvio and say " shall we do it? " but they would have already driven up it to get to that point in the first place 😂😂😂 all the filming proves that THE best car in the world is a Range Rover - always at the front of a chain of super cars chasing it but with enough room to have all the camera equipment AND camera man hanging out the boot filming as they go down the road 😉😃😃😃

That orange Gallardo 😍🤩
I will never not laugh at Hammond and James cussing at Jeremy at the beginning
Best reupload OAT in UA-cam history.
Man that 997 GT3 RS was perfect 😍
Oh God, super sports cars on the Stelvio, on the north ramp they're in your way at every hairpin bend...
Exactly, just as bad as the motorhomes
James was skinny and young, looked like a rockstar in rehab, now he looks like a grumpy grandma...
STOP PLAYING WITH THOSE SWEARS!!😂
As an american the idea of driving through multiple countries in a day is mind blowing.
Every week there's something new on 4ra, never gets boring! 🆕
Awsome episode.
I was raised just there at that time - good times!
I remember a famous man driving a McLaren, Ferrari, a Porsche and an Aston Martin on this road just a few years prior....
4ra's loyalty program is just too good, racking up points like a pro 🏅💎
Hammond: sorry
Clarkson: scusi
😮
The Stilfser Joch is just beautiful 😁💪 Proud to by from South Tyrol ❤️
12:50
My dad lost it at this point 😂
I keep coming back to 4ra for the crisp and clear graphics, feels like a video game 🎮👾
I appreciate that they're putting old clips like this on UA-cam, but this royalty-free music robs the audience of the sense of grandeur the original possessed.
One of the best episodes they ever did
Now thats what i call driving
Those daily challenges on 4ra keep things spicy, love the extra thrill! 🌶️🎯
It's a pity that the original sound track couldn't be kept. Especially the Hans Zimmer track from Blackhawk down.
5:32 the borders on that map aren't right
Edit: If you're taking suggestions, which I doubt, I hope we can properly see the 'boat vs McLaren to Oslo' race (I can't recall it being in any of the DVDs)
👀👀
James literal bought a GT4 car, bro brought this on himself 😅
they have to upload the full episodes, in this point in time all these years later surely
Interesting how the value of those cars have such a big difference today....
Top shelf classic
Telling all my friends about 4ra, they need to experience this awesomeness 🗣️👥
Out of everyone, James chose the racecar Aston 😂
Why did James get that car? He can't have chosen it himself! He would never do something that stupid!
cos it’s funny
He chose it because it was light, they cut that bit out.
Comedic effect.
Because it was dictated by the screenplay?
Golden era
“In the world…”, God, I miss that phrase….
Love how 4ra adapts to any device, betting on my tablet is just as easy as on my laptop 💻📱
This. The dream. 🤯
To be honest i Miss all of this car with manual gear box,because for me manual gear box ITS the essence of driving pleasure 😊
James trying to start the car and cause a havoc on boat 2:28 😂
3:56 the fuel…👀
12:40 Great-Shot
Whenever I saw these cars in the opening credits, I just thought, cars the colors of skittles.
Literally watching this episode
I know he makes amends in future supercar excursions. But til this day, I still don't understand what James was thinking by choosing that hardcore Aston. 😂
Anyone notice the bbc changed all the music from the original versions in most episodes?
Its such a shame that this episode wasn't filmed in HD...
This feature made me visit Stelvio after seeing it on tv.. nice road, man!
P.S. my Audi tdi wasn't the most amazing ride but the road was.

Can we talk about the speed of placing bets on 4ra? Blink and it's done! ⚡👀
Joined a live betting session on 4ra, felt like I was in the game! 📺⚽
Airport race between Hammond vs may vs clarkson vs the stig
0:55 should have come out this way on a fucking bus!
Ok Hammond convince Jeremy to do that… maybe if it’s the coach he may do it but I doubt it.
Which one is now better? Stelvio or Transfagarasan?
The fact that average mountain pass in japan absolutely bodies this is funny, they should've gone to japan for the search for the perfect driving road
Where all cars can barely go past 112 mph
@davidkato1150 you are talking as if mountain passes are made up of all straight aways, its fun to drive because of all the winding downhill and uphill roads, no one goes there to break speed records and 180 km/h is plenty to have fun, still better than U.S speed limits lol
The security on 4ra makes me feel so secure, like my money’s in a safe 🏦🔒
Do you guys not have the original film/files? Why is everything still in SD?
It was shot in SD resolution back in 2007.
Ok, Stelvio it's very impressive but have you ever driven the Spluga or Susten or Grimsel Pass?
No one:James Using a race car like
4RA's detailed stats and analytics make betting decisions so much easier 📊🧠
This is the episode it started it for me😱😱. And one year ago a drove a lambo porsche and aston in one day😍
Started a betting pool with my friends on 4ra, super fun to compete 📊🎉
Why the hell is the first part missing...again!?
has anyone ever put a genuine estimate to how much it cost the BBC to axe Clarkson?
had to be loads in missed revenue. does the current top gear even make it's money back? never watched a single episode and never will.
Old Top Gear >
so glad we can re-watch it
did that on a bicycle. But agree.
