Seriously though- add an outboard to James’, make Hammond’s more waterproof, and remove Jeremy from Jeremy’s and you’ve got three decent amphibious cars
"Remove Jeremy from Jeremy's"
That made me grin wider then it should've.
Jeremy car, was the car in gta 5
Jeremy did at least improve on the Toybota when they did the second challenge. He made sure to do a more thorough welding job, added foldable outriggers, smaller engine, and fishing rods. So the improvement for Jeremy's isn't to remove Jeremy. It's just to add outriggers and a slightly less powerful motor.
Meanwhile, you take take the power removed from Jeremy's car and add it to James' so it actually moves.
Hammond's, yeah, that needs to be more watertight. I was rooting for that one because it did look like the most practical and fun to drive/sail. Unfortunately, it had one major flaw: Hammond
I think the problem with Jeremy's was the massive outboard. He really didn't need something that large, it be like putting something like that on a simple row boat. Of course the buoyancy would be compromised.
So get a smaller outboard and Jeremy's would of been pretty much perfect...maybe rework the nose a bit to cut through the water better. Of course Mutt outlined all this before in that almost everything wrong with the Toybota was fixed for the Nissank.
@@MrSilnev how about my estimations for Hammond and May's amphibious boats? James' could use an actual motor and Hammond's could use someone who knows how to make a car float, instead of a plucky Brit from Birmingham who hates actual boats with a passion
Credit where credit is due, James nailed the buoyancy of his car.
Clarkson would've too, if he didn't force it to drag race
Aidan Jane McIntosh the thing was half underwater for most of the race lol
he"s an absolute math wiz
James could have used a set of oars, that would have served him very well.
He would do. He’s a science geek.
"is that your car?"
"yes"
"its upside down"
"don`t give me technicalities"
+takemeonajetplane even better, he said "it's the wrong way up" :D
Lel
It's wrong way up😂😂 lol
James in the studio after "If you'd booked a cruise ship and it arrived upsidedown, you'd want your money back."
"That's half the horsepower of a Formula 1 Car."
And with that, you've just further enforced Jezza's point of view.
only half? GIMMI 4 OF THOSE
Hector the III you have been finished in know time if he had 2
No you've made him want eighth
f1 car is more like 1000hp
@@VCYT Not really. Season 8 (which this episode is from) was aired in 2006. The Toyota F1 car at that time was reported to have 740 hp (552 kW) output at 18000 rpm from its RVX-06 engine.
"Richard. Richard"
Hammond's laugh
I just keep rewinding it over and over... and over.
It really is a fantastic segment
7:49
The sound of fear in Jeremy's voice is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
same gahaha, i cant stop laughing!
Hammond should take an audition for the joker fr.
When he repeats Richards name with increasing fear in his voice, i can't help but laugh
Richard...RICHARD...
Best bit
When jeremy called him "RICHARD" it means that Jeremy is afraid of something. But if he called "HAMMOND!" it means Jeremy is in anger to him.
Fenton, FENTON...
The way the music kinda paused abruptly makes it even better lol
I absolutely love how May turns up with “Land of hope and glory” blaring and goes straight into the water
And then immediately after Jeremy’s annoyance of it
That is a powermove
"If he drives out of the water, I'm going to kill myself."
"Are you?"
"Yeah."
"Fair enough."
I read that as it was happening 😂
Wow me too
Me 3 wtf xD
My favourite part:
Richard: "It had only one major flaw..." *points at Jeremy*
Jeremy: "WHAT?!"

but he had no engine

Spyros Bellos sorry, i worded it incorrectly but he had a sail rather than those big boat engines whatever you call them
@@abramo7700 oh, i thought you meant he had no engine in his car🤣🤣
@@spyrosbellos2522 is it a motor or is it a engine?
Clarkson's hubris sinking his boat at the end, while he shouts "No!" and Richard starts manically laughing....it's like something from a Greek tragedy.
This is probably my all time favourite TG episode
+Strider It's actually been voted as the best TG challenge they've ever done by the BBC, which I wholeheartedly agree with.
CoDWiiPS3Gameplay Awesome I didn't know that! The challenge was perfect all the way through, TG at it's best
My favorite too!
@@Strider_JM The second highest rated challenge was Amphibious cars 2 when the crossed the channel on the toybota
Same
"Who will arrive first?"
"Summer or James May?"
James May
he was a year late to his first episode so we know who
Ahhhh my bet was summer 😂😂
Should have been “The month of May, or James May?”
I like that James was so calm and chill during all of it
He had some lake j's
Save for the "Come on, ya bitch", but that was more of a slight annoyance
"Well, it was a good idea, it just had one major flaw."(points at Jeremy) "What?!"
everyones nightmare
MafiaCat he is like an american always too big
Richards laugh as they flip over is so raw you can tell he's just lost it and can't stop 😂
There isn’t Falmouth because only river difference in those country
"Where is May?"
"I don't know, what do you think I am worrying about right now?"
I laughed so hard! These guys are like your university roommates going on trips with unlimited budget lol
Some say that the fire still burns... 1:44 :D
Even after going through that lake.
my alternator did that lfmao

Clarkson Original Lord of Cinder
@@appelpower1 😂😂😂😂
8:27 HMS Clarkson has capsized from the sounds of things, that is fantastic!
"Is that you car?"....."Yeah"....."It's the wrong way up".
This will never get old :))
rkv don’t give me technicalities
rkv .
None of this ever gets old.
I like the farming on on Amazon with Jeremy ..
"I'll give you a million quid... Or this bucket!!"
"What do we think, Viewers?"
"You owe me a million quid!"
I think the bucket lmao
Equal worth
@@Unix_0 the bucket had a hole
"Sailing ... Really boring!" - James May. Still one of my favourite James May lines.
Aside from 7:25
the fire on Jeremy's truck
Yes?
prkl
polandball
It never went out, even when he was upside down in the water
It’s a trick candle
Legend says it's still burning to this day
7:26 best line ever
Daniel Barrios come on you bitch
@@kalle6947 ?
IWillB3INURCØMM3NT S3CTION Pink Floyd
LOL
1:47 Even the cameraman is cracking up. you can hear him laugh in the background
I only just noticed that myself.
Hammonds laughter as the Toyboata sinks is priceless
The part where Jeremy is trying to put out the fire is hilarious 😂😂😂😂
'Don't give me technicalities' 😂
I think I may have won my 2nd top gear event
I lost it when the fire kept lighting it’s self again
My doctor prescribed me this video clip as my antidepressant.
The toyota was like "Don't worry guys. I'll be fine. Just get me out of the water and I'll get you home."
Ironically it failed to start in the studio at the end of the episode
@@raconbacon How to kill something that's indestructible: Let Jeremy Clarkson use it.
@@lyonvensa which is weird seeing as he was the one who originally tried to destory the red hilux
@@raconbacon They just needed the mechanic
6:58 POV: You're crewman in 1912 on an unsinkable ship and you tell the captain it hit an iceberg
I've said it before and I'll say it again, dear god, I love James.
kamelotmerlin ...if you want quintessential James...watch “James May, The Reassembler” ....only for true May fans.
@@erikhertzer8434Yes the reassembler is basically just hours of nothing but James May
7:50 That laughter though😂
Hammod's laughter while Clarkson's Toybota sinks is contagious.
Ahhh it missed the bit where Jeremy says "YOU! YOU OWE ME A MILLION POUNDS!" thats the funniest bit of the whole episode as well!
3:42
"The big question was which would arrive first - Summer or James May?"
The Next Winter
That fire is still burning in the name of Top Gear.
I like the fire that never can be put out
I love that fire too
Why he chose the Hilux. You can't kill it. Jeremy can't kill it, he tried.
@@Psiberzerker I happen to own a hilux, it's literally a tank
@@DavisStevenson I owned the American version of the Lolux. Basically the same thing, without the lifted suspension, in Florida. It was a rust bucket, but it just wouldn't stop running. We moved a palate of roofing shingles (Work truck) that far exceeded it's 1/4 tonne rated capacity, and the wheels scraped the wells in the back at the slightest bump, but then we unloaded it, and it was fine. Not that I let it get carried out to sea at the second strongest tide on the planet, but it did get moved by a hurricane storm-surge. We drained the fluid (Oil, and seawater mix) topped it back off, and got it running again. Not going to try blowing up a building under it, though.
I also had a 1 ton Bronco, with a 300 Straight 6, C6 transmission, 4xlow transfer case, and floor shifter. It would get from 0-to-60 down la bajada hill, in neutral, with a tail wind, but with a good winch, it would climb a wall!
1) Given how close the water is to pouring into the Toybota I'm amazed it got that far
2) Hamond cracking up at the end always kills me
3) Jeremy almost got killed being crushed by the Toybota and the dock and ever since I noticed it put me off.
Shotgun Parley à
Shotgun Parley It was actually really dangerous.
he was no where near being crushed, you’ve never done sailing at all have you, car or not😂
You dont think the, divers is not in a water... This is well good show with planned scenery.
Oh shut up Karen, he wasn't almost killed.
That weird feeling when James's sailcar hits the water and that epic song kicks in.. it's a mix of pride, joy, hope and a little bit of dread as well since this is Top Gear. How hard can it be?
Apparently not only the truck is indestructible, the fire on it also is
Perfectly exemplifies their train of thought:
James: calm and relaxed
Jeremy: POWER!
Richard: completely overengineered mess with one critical flaw
Also be seen on the camper challenge
7:26 *”COME ON, YOU BITCH”*
Calmest line of angryness ever from Captain Slow! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You know it's authentic when the cameraman is scrambling to get a better shot, points at the ground to watch where he's going, and then continues.
Imagine if they collaborated as a team! James constructed a vehicle that stayed afloat, Jeremy with his brilliant idea of attaching a boat motor at a level that would not instantly destroy it, and Richard and his contemporary boat design skills.
Any time James may says watch this it never works 😂😂
It did though.
7:42 is one of my favorite moments in top gear lmao hysterical
08:40 the "WHAT" :DDDD LMAO
I thought that Jeremy's build was by far the best in terms of utility. He showed some great engineering initiative here, and he would have won easily if he hadn't fitted an oversize motor and unnecessarily tried to finish as fast as possible. The only flaw with his vehicle is the weight of the motor brings the water level periliously high up the side at the back, leaving him vulnerable to any rocking and water finding its way in. He made a good upgrade in the second part fitting buoyancy aids on the side which adds stability.
"Can I just say chaps, that one obervation I would have: Sailing.....rrREEEally BOOOring!"
Richard's laugh in this will never get old
6:37 Love the cut to James just not moving
to think this was 15 years ago... stuff never gets old.. Poetry
Those were the days!
1:45 best scene
Clarkson: tries to save himself
Hammond: laughs at his own fate
6:50 "RISE TOYBOTA!"
4:14 my favourite moment of Top Gear ever
The utter desperation in Jeremy's voice when he says "Richard" kills me every time
Possibly the funniest Top Gear episode I've ever seen....
"which will arrive first?"
"summer"
"or James may"
Just imagine how many stories these guys will tell their grandchildren,and what is better is that they will also see it in the illustrated version lol
7:30 one of the best moments on TG😂😂😂
7:34 here we witness a failed handbrake turn in a car boat
The music at 3:18 is The Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
thank you!
5:55 all those people watching and not one camera phone
Not high enough quality camera on mobiles at that point
1:55 I think jezza should let it off with a red fire extinguisher and only then the fire would be out already and not come back again
Miami Vice Theme song at 6:24 lol
Clarkson capsizing his truck and Hammond's uncontrollable laughter is one of my favorite moments
Haha, the music they play every time James comes on. Classic!
“If he drives out of the water, I’m going to kill myself”
“Are you?”
“Yeah”
“Fair enough”
This is precisely the reason these three legends of British comedy will never be replaced. Never
All hail Lord Tachanka
Mounted and loaded you bitch
The good old days of fun Top Gear. What we've seen in the past few years is that chemistry between people is not a given.
The new top gear is a glorified car commercial.
Back then it was experiments with fun cars to make them even more fun.
Now it’s just people talking about expensive cars
"Aw aw i am on fire" LOL that was amazing, i love this show.
1:08 guy has obviously never met Clarkson.... POWER!
The sinking at the end is without a doubt my favorite Top Gear moment of all time
8:02 holy shit. They almost saw their ass😂
@9:07 it kinda sounds like a boat when the exurst is in the water bubbling
The outboard engine salesman makes you wonder why anybody bothers trying to talk Jeremy down from his outrageous demands. Just give it to him. You'd get less fuss, a sizeable lump of cash and a sight to see. Just don't offer a warranty of any kind, they'll exploit it to no end.
SNIP3R I'd say it doesn't matter. He tried to talk Jeremy out of buying the bigger engine.
And one more thing, he is jeremy's friend
Scott Mew It's scripted unfortunately to make Jeremy's demands seem as unreasonable as possible. A 2.3 hp outboard engine is actually only suitable for small inflatable dingys / rowing boats and would propel a small boat for 2-3 people at a jogging pace if that. It wouldn't even move the pickup it's way too heavy and not at all streamlined even with a hull.
You can't reason with an orangutan....
That wasn't a salesman. That was a power boating champion and the man that Jeremy brought on to help make the car amphibious. It's thanks to his ideas that the Toybota got as far as it did
Some say, over 10 years later, Jeremy’s truck bumper is still on fire
1:49 The Disappointed Orangutan Look
I just love how when they capsize Richard just laughs hysterically

7:44 They are the only people who can genuinely laugh while they are literally sinking.
5:13 it hit the ramp...and *broke*
"I can see the finish line, it's about-I dunno-couple of hundred yards away, or about four and a half hours.."
1:33 He’s never met Jeremy before, has he?
Jeremy and Richard's arrival at the pontoon is eerily similar to Jack Sparrow's in the first Pirates of the Caribbeans movie!
Love it the way Jezza lies down and kicks and hits the truck like a two-year old!
I just love Richard's laughter as they are sinking..:D
3:23 is it me or are these ducks saying Hammond! Hammond!
8:46 is priceless xd
"if he drives out of the water im gonna kill myself"
*fair enough*
I love the music in this.
"I was grateful when I saw the waterline I'd insisted on only having one engine." - Jeremy, a man who insisted on having two engines.
I love the fact you can hear the mics going as they flip.
When I first saw Jeremy failing to put that fire out, I laughed so hard I had a stomachache for days
I love it when Jeremy says "I'm on fire!" when something hot lands on him.
3:28
Jeremy: It's the coldest March in 20 years because of global warming....
