2 Top Gear 1994

[@luzindro]

Wow, Top Gear in the 90's knew the difference between original portuguese music and some generic iberian spanish flamenco crap. Kind of amazed, to be honest.

[@cactusthomas914]

Those 90's airbag wheels on all the Vauxhalls were monstrous. Give me back my 4 spoke Carlton gsi wheel. I miss that car and that era of Vauxhall.

[@seanpaul3050]

When top gear was interesting to watch

[@cerealtiller]

J Clarkson was Pompous Decades ago.....had forgotten that..

[@greathey1234]

As a child, I was driven around in Land Cruisers and Patrols in early 1990s. Many of them are still running today. Hardly any Land Rovers or Rangers were sold in Saudi Arabia and almost none early 90s are running today.

[@MrPabsUk]

Thank you for the information. R.I.P.

[@georgepom328]

I would have the disco

[@edjack1993]

How fantastic was this? Great episode.

[@soundseeker63]

Those Omegas were actually pretty cushty and, with the 3.0 engine, rapid too. They became popular police patrol cars in the 90s and early 00s, before the switch to Volvo V70s. I liked them, especially the facelifted version, but Tiff was right, GM missed a trick by not doing any sporting versions like they did with the Carlton. A Lotus Omega 2 would have been awesome, especially a wagon varient!

[@davidfurniss4648]

Still driving an Omega 2.5 V6 manual, 230,000 miles, same engine and transmission. Very relaxed motorway driving.

[@creeper50]

That range tied an estate together, they don't draw them like they used to

[@fatlad5090]

imagine insurance cover at that race with all them classics

[@cologne2792]

The Omega was one of the few cars available with either a straight 6 or a V6, depending on fuel.

[@E34Benzin]

So were the Mercedes W210 and W211.

[@marsh1707]

Looks like a young Ben Collins in the spectator booth

[@mach1mustangguy992]

The patrol is the best to this day! I wish we got them here in the states….. back when Nissan made damn good vehicles

[@steely1neverwane]

I agree, people always go on about Landcruisers, but if you want an almost indestructible 4x4 you can't beat a Nissan Patrol. Toyota has a great advertising department while Nissan has a great engineering department.

[@SIRTEDD]

We're gonna gloss over the fact there was over a £1billion quid's worth of cars racing around Silverstone

[@chlorophyll6154]

Damn, the orangutan look so innocent at this time

[@BlearyBoy1]

She died in my arms, I was very, very drunk.

[@Timico1000]

The Omega was basically a really nice car - let down by the shortcomings of the Lopez era.

[@anth5122]

Good old Jezzer 👍

[@anthonyeverett1391]

What would you say about the Honda Civic?

[@jacknapier7036]

Mr.Wacek Has got Polo I 1997-98 o think but it was in Poland.

[@keztrucker7478]

If you want to visit the outback use a land rover if you want to come back use a land cruiser

[@navinsivaram]

👌

[@steely1neverwane]

And if you want to arrive back with functioning 4wd then use a Patrol.

[@drphilgarner]

I wonder if Coys were crooks back then?

[@drphilgarner]

How can fuel pumps leak oil?

[@drunvert]

The oil lubricant for the pump motor

[@thechod]

It's cam driven so can leak oil from behind

[@imcg7149]

Toyota are the best

[@cusworks]

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[@anth5122]

Omega the worst most comfortable car I ever owned

[@milankovacs1193]

Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@sutherlandA1]

Jeremy will go out of his way to try and convince his viewers that Land/Range Rovers are worthy competitors to the LandCruisers/Patrols but the rest of us know that because of reliability and build quality alone that they arent

[@ChatterboxFM]

I swear, English motoring journalists will defend Land Rover until they’re blue in the face. They’ll try every which direction to justify buying one over the competition because.. uh.. I really don’t know why anymore. As an American, I can hand-on-my heart say that Jeeps are cobbled together and can be kinda trash. Doesn’t mean there aren’t good models out there, but people buying a Jeep know they’re not buying it for reliability.

[@Greig300]

Funny that. Clarkson bought a Silver Land Cruiser later in the 90s as a daily with his family.

[@ChatterboxFM]

@@Greig300 Holy crap, you’re right! I remember that segment hahaha

[@davidkershaw5379]

Spot on we had a disco it was a bag of crap, the hilux and patrol we had once we took the fat tyres off were like a series 1/2 but better by far. Those hilux aircons how good?

[@friedjelly22]

True.

[@stringer-ik1pc]

Terrorists always opt for rhe terrorist taxi.the toyota.

[@krisjones74]

The mid '90s was a depressing low point in car design. That Vauxhall looks like it was designed by a six year old with a lump of clay.

[@01322521959]

Those speed the old chap was talking about were well into cuckoo land territory. Speeds of 160mph , Paris Dakha rally speeds of over 200, or was he referring to kph?
