Building a Car in the Kitchen | Top Gear | BBC Studios

[@theBoonarmies]

"unlike the car, the wife did fit through the door quite nicely, fairly early on" fantastic line...

[@aminebestof256]

Are you in life?

[@RastaSaiyaman]

They should do a revisit of this, see how the guy has moved on and how the car drives.

[@jacknapier7036]

Tataly I agree with you it's 2022 now

[@Jakeyboyshow]

ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!! ....Safety Wedge......Peculiar.....Safety Kettle full of water.....Skirting board....Turned the gas off at the mains.... BRILLIANTLY BRITISH!!!

[@platypusone]

"Its running a bit rich" as he examines the suit blown all over his kitchen wall. LOL

[@bernhardtsen74]

Give any man an obsession, give him time and watch how something cool/crazy goes off and end up as perfection!

[@ribenawrath]

i can relate lol. never built a car, but when you are in the zone there is nothing that can stop you. i like his commitment- he deserves to do well.

"Pretty good working conditions really. Its as warm as the house, cos it is the house" Joker

[@STho205]

Beautiful joke at the end. Super.

[@TheBenoff]

Hmmm .. should i put a roaring engine into my kitchen or a nagging wife ? That man got his priorities right.

[@x1nu]

now that's homemade sense

[@piersremus]

so does anybody know what happened after? I mean can we see the actual car running/racing somewhere? I would be really interested in seeing that!

[@MajesticOak]

So, now we have a reason to tell the men to "get in the kitchen"...

[@zenoist2]

I've sketched it out on a peice of cardboard on the floor sounds classy.

[@martinuk964]

Its as warm and dry as the house..."because it is the house" haha! brilliant

[@TwoWheeledDecaf]

This man is simply legendary.

[@greenzx6rr04]

Well, now..I have seen everything. I can now die happy.

[@Sonicdude10]

I built an engine in my bedroom on my bed once. It was quite nice to cuddle with at night for a month...

[@LuckyLegionN7]

Sonicdude10 erm...

[@chaytonruijsenaars3971]

+Sonicdude10 i once did the same with a 75mm short barreled howitzer . . . it got old after about a week and i had to put it on the couch downstairs . . it remains there today after 5 years . . lol just kidding

[@Sonicdude10]

Chayton Ruijsenaars Good one. Good way to call me out on my bullshit comment. I never did build an engine on my bed. Think of the oil and grease mess that would cause.

[@mardamek]

"unlike the car the wife fit through the door quite nicely" looooool

[@kenblank9892]

That Blokes house gave birth to a car

[@ScarletWinters]

oh goodness! I can't believe he tore down the wall of his own kitchen!

[@MatthiasMeys]

"I'll turn the gas off at the main"

[@igedeastika670]

0:37 that man using Gumball 3000 clothes!!!

[@ahsanafzal48]

Luckily he didn't design it in his basement.

[@AidanMillward]

+mr rambo Watch NCIS. The main character builds boats in his basement and somehow gets them out

[@XxThatMOPARDudexX]

+amillwardmusic yeah I would like to know how he does that

[@GoatzombieBubba]

+HomeGrown Racing dig down to the foundation and dig keep digging out and up then cut the basement wall and wench out the boat.

[@nozzer8691]

Pretty simple this is. . . .He was always gonna be changing his window for a patio or french doors. You can tell because most of the window was taken out, except for the head (To keep the lintel / brickwork from upsetting).

[@EXTREME4YEARSTOCOME]

lol "yes yes ya no no yes yes"

[@Tom-uv7ry]

Amazing comment one of the best it's stood up to the test of time all these years later honestly your comment is the second best comment on here no doubt you should be proud of yourself and that's why I'm giving it your first like absolutely incredible legendary

[@hoppps2740]

Hell yeah! He's also got a Gumball shirt on!

[@VituMV]

i wonder what she said to him. "it's either me or the car...." he probably answered, "well, thats the problem, the car won't fit through the door"... you know the rest of the story lol

[@Kaaxe]

He seems really nice

[@simon199418]

lol the wife fit through the door quite nicely:P

[@americantorino]

wait a sec. there was no radiator, just the crome fitting for a radiator hose on the block. how does he plan to sort that out? or is it just not added yet?

[@tocsa120ls]

Ok, funny as they tried to make it, but did TG ever revisit this bloke? No story is complete without the ending!

[@bmx214racer]

this guy is like like my grandpa.. He is building an airplane in the basement....

[@Slakbury]

A friend of my Dad's built himself a small plane in his living room back in the day actually and we all thought he was crazy too. But, to be fair, he did own a pretty awesome wooden frame hand crafted plane at the end of it :) hehe.

[@bentleyv8t]

how can you forget that there's a car in your kitchen!

[@Axetele]

Reminds me of an old guy I know who built a plane in his four-car garage one winter. One problem - it was a four-door four-car garage. He had to take it apart to get it out, then sold it in bits!

[@pangtopia]

Can't he just tip the car 90 degrees and get it out of the door side ways hehe.

[@phocia]

love his decor scheme :P

[@Axetele]

Looked like the valve cover had 'Cobra' written on it.

[@PaulHindt]

Yea real good idea to run an engine in your house with no ventilation.

[@atsernov]

You didn't watch the whole video, did you? :) He did get it out, by cutting away a non structural part of the wall, laying some ramps, and rolling it out.

[@chrisnelson152]

Pretty sure there’s nothing in the cup at 00:38

[@Sunday8916]

that man is mental

good to see that man has his priorities straight :)

[@apban]

I wonder when the point was that Hammond stopped wearing leather necklaces :)

[@asalamale]

hahaa the wife did fit through the door haha

[@Ecosse57]

so british! i love it.

[@danmartin7141]

He comes into my work all the time

[@madmarv86]

wow! i did bikes in my apt....this takes the cake!

[@OMGItsWeasel]

@americantorino thermostats stay closed and circulate engine coolant within the block itself, this is in case the weather temperature outside the engine is much colder than optimal running temperature of the engine. when its hotter the thermostat opens and flows coolant through the radiator. i bet there is still more work to be done when they filmed this.

[@frankisfunny2007]

wow, those brits can sure make a hell of a race car, and I am a car racing fan, car guy, good job to him, 5 stars & favorite

[@clarkthesuperhero]

Gotta love the old school English eccentric :D

There was a wife... but she did fit throug the door!!! hahahahahahahah

[@amirulhakim2858]

Happy Birthday Hamster

[@sebstar78]

living the dream!...god bless ya mate.

[@apban]

it is slightly odd because you can sorta see that Richard has gotten older, and yet he's the one who has changed and aged the least outta the three of them

[@LandofNonecom]

Well, put it this way, he found out that his wife doesn't truly love him, and if she did, she would still be with him. So, to test your wife love and most importantly tolerance, do something of this sort.

[@alienfac32]

i;m just waiting for someone to build a car on the second floor or in a apartment :P

[@harperandyman]

ha ha i built a trailer in school for my exams and we could not get that out of the craft room, had to take the school windows out ! and no before you ask i didnt pass but my mate made a pencil box and he passed ? :(

[@JoaoMario24]

''But unlike the car, the wife fit thru the door quite nicely.'' LoL '

[@rob2859]

although it sounds stupid to pull down the wall its would be faster than rebuilding the car I suppose.....

[@justforever96]

I want to see that beast race!

I didn't realize the BBC was one of the youtube OG's lol..

good call

[@acalthu]

to get into top gear of course. come back when you manage the same.

[@ericdamexican]

i never built a car in my kitchen but i did build a motorcycle in my diningroom!

[@zaosin329]

I think it's pretty cool I work on go kart engines in my room cause its nice and warm I'd never run em in my house but then again I can carry the things lol I can see where the dudes coming from he's a nut but he's a smart guy none the less.

[@ericdamexican]

i'm still married also!!! p.s. gotta love Primus!!

[@taylor77777777777]

he wanted patio doors from his kitchen anyway...

[@adamaqmal]

yeah he is legend..

[@JackWestrop]

typical bloke.... brilliant what i love top gear for

[@cup_and_cone]

You see how they perfecty cut it out of the existing window area? He was going to put in slider doors...

[@JulianEckstein]

the engine is a ford 351 i think or a 302, mostlikley, but it may just be any small block ford IDK what is avalibal in the UK. (PS spell check not working on my part)

[@AMD64bitFOD]

well by looking at his back garden, he might be living in town house, just like the one i'm living in right now - no garage!

[@aminebestof256]

Oh my god i remember watching this. Years years ago

[@christianbugatticg]

Couldn't you just bust out a hole beside the single door frame and pull it out, and then make it a double door entrance

[@Leo1239150]

there are numerous easier and cheaper ways to get it out..

[@Candisa]

If you do that, you'd have to support everything, install a load bearing beam first, take the supports away... There is already a beam above that window and the window is wide enough, so chucking out that old single pane glass window and the bricks underneath it is a lot faster and easier. It's also a good excuse to do some remodelling with a nice double/sliding windowed door, or just leave it open and build an extension with lots of glass.

[@lgld114]

it's warm and dry as the house... cause it is the house

[@apban]

of course you don't take a car apart to get it out of a kitchen. You clearly take your house apart :)

[@masonbarker5807]

Yes yes, no no, yes yes

[@Henzzman]

@enigmaPL Yes there are engines,that can take on a v8 and vice versa,but V8 is usually the top choice for drag racing,which was the thing,that this particular car was built for.

[@Radi0starrzx]

That man isn't sane...

[@taylor77777777777]

this guy is a legend!

[@platypusone]

Thank you.

[@victorymansions]

It's quite funny how Robert looks like Stewart Lee

[@patrickkelly1786]

Sometimes I wonder. Who are these people? Why arnt you at work? How comes you can just take your kitchen wall down?

[@jadeng1147]

+Steven Chorkley thats one hell of a hobbie

[@Johny40Se7en]

Old V8, old because it's carburetor not fuel injection, sounds nice though, raw. Ridiculous way of getting it out though, should have just disassembled it.

[@Johny40Se7en]

Alright, wasn't sure if you knew the different fuel... delivery types, anyway, no idea about the cubic capacity. I think V8's start at about 2/2.5L. Just wondering why you want to know the size?

[@00BillyTorontoBill]

you take out a second mortgage on the house and then drop the clutch... The car is worth more by that point easy...

[@Professional_Youtube_Commenter]

im sure it would have been doable to just disassemle the care and the rebult it outside than to break the house wall down. Builders aren't cheap

[@moderngamers]

He should have been hired to work to Top Gear.

[@MarkHarrellJr]

It's as warm and dry as the house cos it is the house...
