  1. It's surprising that Mike could afford to get his car fixed at Hammond's garage! Must be mates rates? Btw, that wasn't a crash, it was a 'love tap'!
    59
  2. At least James didn't have to change clothes to drive it!
    59
  3. Has he converted to Judaism?
    52
  4. Only when driving in Wales!
    30
  5. You forgot upside down!
    22
  6. It only gets hot when the battery overheats!
    17
  7. All that power and speed but what sort of range will it have at racing speeds? Battery tech isn't advanced enough yet to give any of these concepts a decent time on track, imagine running at Le Mans and only getting 4 laps before needing a recharge, 20 minutes in the pits to get enough juice then another 4 laps etc for the rest of the 24 hours?
    13
  8.  @KayoMichiels  The mechanics also used to 'relieve' themselves on the blocks!
    12
  9. You know Ben would try to keep it!
    11
  10. Rob Dahm also is in possession of a 12 rotor 'W' engine originally designed for marine use!
    9
  11. Code Brown day was it?
    9
  12. I can hear Jezza complaining that it's just a Volkswagen!
    6
  13. He won't notice the difference between his Chevy convertible pick up and the Suzi, plus he wouldn't need the child booster seat!
    6
  14.  @thembanimdlalose5229  In the State's people have been putting Chevy LS3s in MX5s for years. Admittedly not as heavy as the TDi but not far away! They also fit quite well with little fettling!
    5
  15. What I want to know is if Oscar still has the bullet hole in the floor after Clarkson shot it?
    5
  16.  @RotGoblin  A Brum screwdriver usually works, commonly known as a 5lb lump hammer!
    5
  17. It's nice when daddy's company pays for it all!
    5
  18. Gotta pay for the Scooby Doo somehow!
    5
  19. Daddy's money?
    4
  20. Your handing it over Hammond? Do you want it back in one piece? Are you completely insane? Now having watched the video, yes you are completely insane! 🤣🤣🤣 Despite what Hamster and Captain Slow say, that Maserati looks the dog's doodahs!
    4
  21. Turn it into a coffee table like Jezza did with the V12!
    4
  22.  @nolowputts  What a'W⚓'!
    4
  23. If he's painting the underside perhaps it should include the sign "Other Way Up!"
    4
  24. He's in a Village People tribute band!
    3
  25. Ah! Diddums!
    3
  26. I think the owner of the Sagaris has his tracking out! I wonder how many drive shafts are going to snap like carrots?
    3
  27. Hammond is small enough to live in this Landy for the rest of his puff!
    3
  28. Ah, but are they safety crocs?
    3
  29. It used to be quite common for Alfa drivers to go from 1st to 3rd until the gearbox warmed up.
    3
  30.  Muscleman8562  I hope it wasn't used?!
    3
  31. I was wondering too! I guess Connaught tried to run before they could walk? The induction system on the original engine seemed very Heath Robinson!
    3
  32. It hasn't got a full interior as Steve and his passenger sit almost where the back seat is and the seats are rated for drag racing not road use!
    3
  33.  @lorenzrudolf  Looks like the TT I rammed when the Richard Head driving it tried queue jumping on the way into Cambridge one very wet morning. He left with an Iveco 7.5 tonner shaped dent in the back!
    3
  34. Will Shmee be wrapping his collection in this colour?
    3
  35. Hammond can with his little legs!
    2
  36. You cannot be serious! Captain Slow wouldn't dare take it out of first gear, Clarkson would return it with four flat tyres and the Hamster would leave it in the middle of a field! Upsidedown! On fire!
    2
  37. Clarkson from the distance: "MORE POWER!"
    2
  38.  @Jdmess9  But not on road legal versions as bolting it to the existing gearbox would a) be a fiddle and b) no reverse gears in motor cycle boxes.
    2
  39. 🎶Everything I do, I do it for Wrexham Town! 🎶
    2
  40. Noted American engine builder Steve Morris is currently working on a 1200 cc 3 cylinder Rotax unit that is expected to produce 900bhp! Not sure what the all-up weight will be but the customer wants to put it in an off road buggy which are pretty light!
    2
  41. Can't do 300 mph going to the shops? Hold my Dom Perignon!
    2
  42. Has Oliver still got Clarkson's 'signature' mark in the floor panel? The bullet hole where he tried to rid Oliver of the trapped river water?
    2
  43. You've not heard a Ford GAA engine on full song! Sounds more like a Ferrari than a Ferrari!
    2
  44. Just for a laugh James entered a 'James May Look-alike Contest'. He came 3rd behind Billy Connolly and Brian May!
    2
  45.  @titaniumoverdrive259  Nor are they particularly small!
    2
  46. It's definitely NOT the jet dragster or the Rimac?
    2
  47. Are you sure that Pierce isn't Christian Horner moonlighting during the off season?
    2
  48. I'm disappointed! I was expecting it to be upside down, on fire, in a ditch and Hammond recovering in hospital....again! Swap the tow ball for a foot scraper.
    2
  49. The guy explaining the conversion is twitching like he needs the toilet!
    2
  50. If they'd given it to the Hamster there would have been a sign on the underside saying 'Other Way Up!'
    2
  51. I was gonna offer 15p as the insurance and running costs will cost an arm, leg and both kidneys!
    2
  52. I thought that was an AMC Pacer?
    2
  53. Because Jaguar didn't realise that the Japanese drive on the left like us! Do'h!
    2
  54.  @InteloPL  Usually when they're dead!
    2
  55. Can't afford the watch let alone the Porker!
    1
  56. It would need a third musketeer to make the full set! Maybe Javier?
    1
  57. Did it come complete with the booster seat as Hamster is having problems looking over the steering wheel?
    1
  58. Should have left the out of date milk in Hamster's office!
    1
  59. Yes the Hamster has hardly changed at all apart from the face fungus, and the glasses, and the dragged through a hedge backwards hair style, oh and the teeth whitening kits used on a regular basis!
    1
  60. When I saw the thumbnail I thought "Oh no! Here we go again!"
    1
  61. Why didn't you get it sorted at Hamster's garage? Er...on second thoughts!
    1
  62. Was he sitting in it, gently crying!
    1
  63. That SMG box sounds like a Wilson pre-selecter bus gear box! Go down a gear as you approach a corner and up again on the way out and it will sort itself out, eventually!
    1
  64. Mike should have used this as his camper conversion!
    1
  65. Must have been Clarkson!
    1
  66. That's protected by all the excess engine oil that blew out of the overflow!
    1
  67. Not to mention Mindy counting the insurance pay out!
    1
  68. That front splitter looks well mullered!
    1
  69. Manscape were offering tickets for a policeman's ball. It was a raffle!
    1
  70. I thought that excentric British engineers died with Fred Dibnah? I was obviously wrong! Wonderful stuff!
    1
  71. Just like the Hamster!
    1
  72. I thought Richard was going to say that the patch of sand where he was conceived?
    1
  73. Not very tinted then as UK traffic police carry 'comparators' now to make sure the tint isn't too dark (in their opinion!)
    1
  74.  @peacefulsounds6973  How many gallons to the mile would you like?
    1
  75. He probably let one rip and the crew fell about laughing!
    1
  76. You've obviously never heard a Matra V12 at full chat mate!
    1
  77. All that intro and yet you didn't touch on the Cappuccino's party piece with it's novel top?
    1
  78. That's why they went to a Welsh circuit!
    1
  79. It's certainly a reasonably priced car but it's only ok if it's THE reasonably priced car! (As driven by the celebs on Top Gear!)
    1
  80. He left his booster seat at home!
    1
  81. Is Ben (Stig) Collins the best driver NEVER to have an F1 career?
    1
  82. Fig rolls? At least they will keep Neil regular!
    1
  83. Re the next episode: has Mike got the new Lambda sensors this time?
    1
  84. Yes, it's not just teeth whitening products he uses.
    1
  85. It's great that he has those lovely hand finishing machines for coachbuilding but I have a sneaky suspicion that Hammond doesn't know how to use them yet.
    1
  86. Sophia Floersch and Alice Powell have been through this too and recovered well so all the best!
    1
  87. Won't lose it in the car park now!
    1
  88. Great for frog eyed Sprites but not a Yank tank!
    1
  89. In their day, the Lancias were the dogs doodahs! The next car to have this cachet was probably the original Scooby Impreza without the aero.
    1
  90. Do you work in the Liqui Moly promotions department?
    1
  91. Hammond needs a booster seat to be able to see over the steering wheel!
    1
  92. I use the 3 sea shells!
    1
  93.  @ntnwwnet  While they got absolutely missed as a pewt!
    1
  94. I'm shocked! SHOCKED! But not that shocked!
    1
  95. Little Legs and Littler Legs go HGV!
    1
  96. Oh the embarrassment! A Scotsman using a welding mask emblazoned with the English flag! 🤣🤣🤣
    1
  97. It's not a Jag, it's a JAAAG!
    1
  98. She may have all the bits that are missing on Oliver but has she got a bullet hole in the floor?
    1
  99. Katie Price!
    1
  100. So basically she was just the gofer for this project?
    1
  101. All that gin is there to get the car started before switching to the main tank!
    1
  102. It's going to be fun trying to overtake oncoming traffic in the Ross on Wye area!
    1
  103. You've obviously never seen or driven a Reliant Robin pal. Check Top Gear archive for what happened to Clarkson when he drove one! Hilarious but very dangerous!
    1
  104. I thought his fav was his Landy?
    1
  105. Is this the same 'Stig' who was beaten to the Praga championship by a former shed dwelling, internet, sweaty boi? Nice one Jimmer!
    1
  106. Hey Hamster! I've got what is the effectively British/German version of this! I give you the Vauxhall/Opel Tigra Exclusiv! Ta dah!
    1
  107. Where's Hamster? Counting his money again?
    1
  108. Another Katie Price relative!
    1
  109. It's a factory built kit car!
    1
  110.  @mumsspaghetti6649  And for the Hamster's teeth whitening kits!
    1
  111. Many years ago there was a car dealer in East London who 'specialised' in yank barges. The oldest one he had was a 1925 Studebaker President that had a straight 12 engine. Never heard it run but he was trying to offload it for £250!
    1
  112. Lucky it wasn't in the pink or Katie Price would wrap it round a tree when she goes on the p*ss again!
    1
  113. JM: "HAMMOND!"
    1
  114. So these guys were developing the V10 MX5, how's that going? Or have they given up as it's too complicated to make it work?
    1
  115. It means "Pure Blood", Richard. That means it didn't have it's covid injections!
    1
  116. Reverse the roles, Hamster playing golf and Rick driving the car!
    1
  117. Don't let Richard drive it! It'll be wrecked!
    1
  118. It's a Beemer unit, much better than the Ingenium boat anchor!
    1
  119. American engine builder, Steve Morris, has been working on a 3 cylinder, 900 bhp, turbo unit for a customer who wants to fit it in a dune buggy.
    1
  120. I guess the jet dragster crash was too traumatic for Hamster to show?
    1
  121. Are you related to Katie Price?
    1
  122. I see he's got his mate Noddy's car in for a refurb! Parp! Parp! You can hear it in the background!
    1
  123. I thought the BBC payments were like cheap suits? Small cheques!
    1
  124. They weren't nuns, they were penguins!
    1
  125. I'm very surprised that the Scoobie didn't end up going through a hedge! Backwards! Upside down! On fire!
    1
  126. There's a portrait of him hidden in his attic!
    1
  127. As a boat anchor!
    1
  128. Richard says he hasn't seen a scrap dealer in 48 years? I guess he should invite him to the Little Cog workshop?
    1
  129. You're definitely not going to lose that in a car park! I thought you and your oppo were going to disappear into the sunset like Thelma and Louise?
    1
  130.  @WatchGeek  Studebaker used to build a straight 12 back in the 30s and, yes, it was a very long engine!
