I fucking love Goodwin's approach to all of this. 'eats a fucking Mars bar while speeding and listening to BBC Radio 2'.

[@danieladdison8332]

Whilst driving like an absolute muppet

[@jep1912]

Just watching straight after Collecting Cars podcast... effing genius!

[@ThibauTM]

Same ! And wondering why this hasn't had more views in al these years.

[@josj15]

these old autocar videos were hilarious, ah what humble early days of web video those were

[@philipholland4280]

This is one of my favourite car-related videos of all time. A collection of some of the world's best car journalists dicking about in disposable cars, way before Topgear cottoned-on to the format. It must have been immense fun.

[@MathewBMW]

Chris Harris for Top Gear TV when those three middle-aged retire.

[@nandadwirendragraha1210]

MathewBMW your dream came true

[@demerara]

Daamn that actually came true😂😂😂

[@akshaypatel3998]

This aged like a fine wine

[@Flowermouth]

The prophecy 😂

[@maddee2548]

Do you drive a DeLorean?

[@dimitarchardakliev5351]

Steve Sutcliffe should be a co-presenter at Top Gear instead of Reid.

[@nutsackmania]

Yeah.

[@Random.Contents.]

How to make new Top Gear successful again : - Chris Harris - Tiff Needell - Steve Sutcliffe Or - Jason Cammisa (JC, like Jeremy Clarkson) - Chris Harris - Tiff Needell - Steve Sutcliffe

[@EvoPower2010]

How in the world do you find a 205 GTi for 250 quid? And that 170HP Volvo. Really? You can find them in Eastern Europe LHD for about 700$ but not THAT low.

[@armchairgeneralissimo]

I got a 170hp Volvo 850 GLT 3 years ago for £300 if it's not a T5 they're dirt cheap in the UK.

[@angrydragonslayer]

dont know where you live but the gti engine is $150 here while any 205 with a blown engine is maybe $120, some work and you got a working 205 gti

[@kristisrb]

@@angrydragonslayer where do you live? I might come to gey myself gti

[@angrydragonslayer]

@@kristisrb sweden It might have gotten worse given the recent €150 scrapping premium for old engines and cars

[@kristisrb]

angrydragonslayer wow. Mind pointing out where I could find some 205s in Sweden? Im not too far. Have been looking ages locally and even the base ones are crazy expensive if you can find one at all

[@wildbill8517]

Wish I had a time machine could go back and get a 205GTI for 250 quid!

[@AndreiIstoc]

This looks like tremendous fun

[@maddee2548]

Wonderful, bring back the good ol days of motoring journalism :")

[@22fret]

The 850's got bad tyres on the rear axle...

[@charlesmacgilchrist3648]

Calibra mot'd for £250 now would be a miracle...actually that would be about right for the slog wagon he got. And the 205 was probably nicked!

[@chappy2121]

You guys need to do this again but with £100 cars

[@supercharged5653]

this is simply the best video on the internet.

[@CJM44.41]

These are absolutely hilarious! More of this!

[@kennethawesome]

Still joyful to watch in 2024!

[@gordonremsey8055]

The Volvo driver was definitely the funniest 😂😂

[@turki_wz]

I like Colin Goodwin's style lool

[@domokoskelen3975]

This is what the new top gear shouldhave been like, cos these guys are actually friends, like james hammond and jeremy, so its actually funny

[@user-bh6zt1it2l]

I want that 205

[@sbaddison]

240p🤣 Watching during lockdown 2020👍🏻

[@Reihe_sechs]

Yeah! I love 205's... Very happy with my old carburetted XS!

[@chibiy2j775]

SAAB Rocks !

[@theneil007]

This is a little gem!

[@dombou70]

AHAHAHA @ that lift off oversteer. I spat coke everywhere when I saw that. Looked so pathetic seeing the Pug's ass hanging out. This is much more hilarious then Evo's and Top Gears cheap car challenge. Goodwins driving is hilarious.

[@RichardLyleEsq]

I laughed so much it brought on an asthma attack.

[@davidknell9676]

Good fun. Hasn't Chris aged well.

[@petercdowney]

Contrary to what many people think, Saab are still in business (though only just)

[@magna59]

+Peter Downey I thought GM had put the knife to it ....... how / why does it live . Are they picking there way through the parts bins ?

[@petercdowney]

+magna59 Do you know what thought did?

[@fasthracing]

£250 for a Pug 205 Gti those were the days.

[@tom2812]

absolutely brilliant! I love Autocar and this is one of the reasons why.

[@TonicEnergy]

It's called having fun racing cars, which is universal, which To Gear has captured well, basically, and, run-on sentences are fantastic!

[@colinwatson4172]

Free with the magazine. Do you have the Aston vantage testing with Sabine as passenger. Think it was a Auto Car vid.

[@KRAMFPV]

Goodwin is hillarious!

[@magna59]

Great piece of REAL !

[@nzwotb2525]

3 awesome cars for that cheap my God

[@Garf2O]

This is fucking gold lmao

[@McLarenMercedes]

yes, I've read that as well and I've seen them smoke several more modern cars sadly they are a bit too small for my needs

[@hank491]

no mate, autocar are a magazine but they make these videos while they do their tests etc and put them on their website. Would be great on the tv though, bunch of legends

[@DericO-rz3be]

CAN WE HAVE THIS AGAIN.. INSTEAD OF THE current Collection Cars and Top Gear Bullocks B/S

[@93455Driver]

Classic. Where was Meaden?

[@notthehulk442]

good video guys!

[@that.guy11]

A 205 GTI, with a valid MOT, for £250. God damn I wish it was 2008

[@mountjoy23]

'Practical F5000' good old times.

[@tomforrest7814]

Calibra is the best!

[@zloychechen5150]

the only thing that can kill a volvo is a bad owner.

[@Radfordperson]

I love the Volvosaurus

[@donaircooleone]

can you do another one of these? :D

[@GregersLife]

Epic!

[@alfamonk]

"i had a slight lose round that corner"...that's funny

[@Humancbr]

cus this isnt knicking any of top gears ideas.....

[@Joe90ridesahonda]

£250? Top Gear did it for £100,and even that was high!

[@bg1379]

Well I can't even tell you what I said - but if I said wow this is a blatent ripoff of TG, then, it is. But the concept is good, so if I WAS complaining, I can't defend myself. It was 6 months ago. . . .

[@AntoRoberts]

top gear ownz this sheet

[@bg1379]

Top Gear wannabes

[@abodysite]

Are they kidding? Who drives these cars in North America? What is their target demographic? Certainly not Canada. No I'm not being funny.

[@richardharrold9736]

This isn't America, it's Britain, and all of these cars were very common here in the 1990s and 2000s.

[@billall4895]

abodysite these cars are like the equivalent of a banged up Chevy cavalier, or like a Geo metro
