Quick note, Connor...that gigantic thing that Richard is driving in the clips you see is NOT a Hummer. As someone else noted, it is actually an armored vehicle from South Africa called the Marauder.

[@annemariefleming]

Rowan Atkinson is a car nut. He has a fleet of supercars. Renault is French. So is Peugot. Fiat is Italian.

[@RAGING_MIRAGE]

Rowan is actually a really good driver.

[@nicksykes4575]

Friend of mine used to race against him in classic car events, Rowan had a 1930s Bentley.

[@palmaken]

May be, but he don't know nothing about cars.

[@kevinmorrice]

@@palmaken rowan knew rolls royce had an experimental v16 engine, and asked them if they could use it for johnny english, as a result, rolls royce later brought a model that used it as standard

[@Bill_Stranix]

Why hasn't Rowan Atkinson been knighted? Surely if anyone deserves one of these, no matter how frivolous, it is this guy. He is a legend.

[@rescyn1190]

Bermondsey is a district in London. Birmingham is what he said in case you misheard ;)

[@timholder6825]

Bermondsey is district in east London. Birmingham is city in the west midlands.

[@iKvetch558]

I get why Connor reacts to the compilations, he likes to cover a lot of different topics, and reacting to a complete full run of Top Gear would take a lot of his time. But I still would love to see him do it...that way he can see the quirky fun from the early part of the show before it got hugely popular, and then he could also see the amazing episodes that resulted from the trio getting such a big following...like the episode when they had Cameron Diaz AND Tom Cruise on as Stars in a Reasonably Priced Car. 😁

[@PHDarren]

I think he has seen full episodes, certainly the big travel specials.

[@lukespooky]

doesn't have the attention span for it

[@iKvetch558]

@@lukespooky I do not disagree...I was just trying to find a less blunt way of saying somewhat the same thing. LOL

01:28 - South African "car"

[@EvieDoesYouTube]

Bermondsey is a place, yes, it's near London bridge

[@zaphodbeeblebrox6627]

The joke about Peugeots( at the time of recording) was that all their cars all had large radiator grills which kind of made them look ugly. Bermondsey is in south london by the river Thames approximately 4.5 miles west of Greenwich and about a mile east of Tower bridge.

[@terezahlucha4613]

Oh, would I love to see Jeremy Clackson trying to pronounce "Eichhörnchen".

[@davenunn7259]

The table mount is a Jaguar V12 Engine Block

[@Mojova1]

Wait did you think that the red car was like a Hummer or something? It is not an American car. It is South African military car made to be used on the road for the public called the Marauder. USA is not the only country in the world that makes big cars.

[@Cobalt-Jester]

My ex girlfriend had a GTR that's show in this video at about 3:15 It was stupidly fast and I mean stupid. No other road car grips off the line like a GTR. If you haven't got your head resting on the seat when you set off at full speed you're going to injure yourself. It goes 0-60mph (0-100kph) in less than 3 seconds, 2.5 to be exact. But it's not just that, it's how it does it. It's so aggressive. It's like you are sat in a nice comfy chair and then a massive hammer slams into the back of you. It's the only car I've ever driven that I was scared of. I was lucky enough to drive it around the TT course. I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't get much faster that 120mph. Well because it wasn't my car and I didn't want to wreck it but mainly because I knew it could hurt me. I did go around the track with my girlfriend driving. She really wanted to get it to 200mph. she came close. I think she got 198.8mph and then she blamed me. Even though she made me sit in with her she said that with my extra weight she would have got over 200mph. I think it's top speed is only 208mph so to get 198.8 out of it was pretty special... Then some idiot construction worker who was digging up the road outside our house to put in some new pipes or something hit the rear corner of it with a JCB. It bent all the chassis and that was it. It would never be driven again. To be honest the guy working that JCB probably will not ever work again. It cost him £125,000. I know that they only cost £80,000 or around abouts. But she'd had hers custom built by Nissan. Pearlescent Cobalt (where my name comes from) blue paint, white leather interior with blue stitching and trim... Nismo tuned and remapped...... She never was the same after that. You could just tell by looking at her, something in her eyes, something missing... We broke up about a month after she lost the car. It was a mutual agreement. No hard feelings. But her losing that car was like losing a loved one as silly as it sounds...

[@ConnorEllisMusic]

Dunno if you noticed, but you can just open up a tab and search Peugeot and then maybe you would get the joke, instead of waiting for someone in this comment section to fill you in.

[@411russ]

"Their table is an engine" yes it is, it's from a Porsche, as are the chairs they are sitting on. One of their challenges in a previous series was to buy a £1500 porsche use it for a number of challenges and then sell it, Jeremy broke his and still won the challenge by converting the engine and seats in to the table and chairs in the series and selling them to the production company for use on the show.

[@RWL2012]

the studio chairs and tables are not the chairs and tables made from the Porsche 928.

[@johnmcaleer7099]

Just wait for you to get in a car at home and tell the driver his steering wheel is on the wrong side,as you used to seeing it on the other side😅

[@martinconnors5195]

I love classic Jaguars and the James Bond Aston Martin. Citroën, Renault and Peugeot are all French; Audi, Mercedes-Benz, VW, Smart, BMW = all German. SEAT is Spanish.

[@matthewhenery4834]

You would love Scot Squad. It's frighteningly accurate lol...

[@ShaneWalta]

"I'll just say that the car is German or Japanese" while May and Clarkson are both driving French cars 😂

[@jamesmachin8410]

Purple bugler alarm

[@mathiasosiriswoodhal]

well you know more about cars than me then lol

[@MyBigMouth]

The cable the digger was touching would be insulated/covered in rubber.

[@liamgilmartin466]

6.09 if you ever meet a Scot ask them to say "there's been a murder in a church"

[@Tar-Numendil]

Most cars are made either in America, Britain, Germany, Italy, and Japan.

[@kevin982]

Rowan is a real car nut

[@mattlm64]

That bird is nothing compared to what I've seen. I once got out of a car and a bird did a massive poo the covered most of the roof. Thank god it didn't hit me or it would have been truly traumatic.

[@williammackenzie6115]

Blinkers/indicators stalks must be an optional extra on a BMW,the poor souls should buy a Toyota which is reliable and comes with an indicator/blinker stalk as standard.

[@10thdoctor15]

Is a Glaswegian "burglar alarm" as good as a Geordie "toblerone rolo combo"?

[@bycromwellshelmet2369]

You neither need to like cars, nor know anything about cars, to find _Top Gear_ enjoyable and great fun -- at least, not the _real_ version with Clarkson, May, and Hammond.

[@jasongoodacre]

Bermondsey is a suburb in London. A rather poor area.

[@enemde3025]

As long as a car has 4 wheels, one in each corner, that's all I need to know. The look of someone who owns a RANGE ROVER....I'M A SMUG BASTARD !! It's crazy that you think that saying the word DAMN will get you taken off KZbin !! BERMONDSEY is a district in south London.

[@RainzzYT]

Birmazee 😂 It’s Birmingham

[@HeavymetalTheRealOne]

@McJibbin mabe try to search all europeans car brands u will be surprised 😉

[@mlee6050]

And so when you get in an American car you get confused by wheel on left?

[@nickthomas6923]

darn it lol

[@nicola1175]

Oioi Connor

[@matthewhenery4834]

FRANCE goddammit lol... Renault et Citroën sont made in 🇫🇷. Italian Germany oh Japan... awe babe...😂 ❤ ✌❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 xxx

[@brian5154]

Renault is French.........

[@Cobalt-Jester]

You always keep saying you don't know anything about cars. You say that into a machine that's connected to the internet, That internet has everything ever known at your finger tips. In less time it takes for you to explain how you do not no nothing about cars, you could have searched Google and be reading the second paragraph on a website. It makes me so frustrated when people complain or make excuses for something but they spend more time making excuses that it would do to learn the thing. I normally go live in Spain for a couple of months towards the end of the year and I realised that the amount of time wasted by me trying to mime what I want in a shop or by me saying "I don't know what you mean" or "I can't understand you" would equate to the time I could have spent learning the basics of the Spanish Language. No excuse for not knowing things, especially now the internet is everywhere on everyone's phone.

[@michaelmay5453]

Roll with the flow, when it just keeps going, go with it. I'm a scientist and I do that too, I know programmers that do that as well. Fairly sure everyone does so you do the flow proper for you. Oh and btw, you're spannerman. If we're on a trip, you provide the spanners, I fix the car. Just know this, a spannerman is invaluable, it's not that you'll provide the right METRIC spanner it's that you do so on time and in place. This is just beating shit into your head, now what you got my mate, is good taste and ya can't learn that.
