Disco Climbing Challenge | Top Gear - Part 3

[@androiderification]

For those of you wondering, that exact Land Rover being filmed is still going strong and according to MOT data its doing about 12k miles a year!

[@Meowingtiger]

With probably half of those miles to and from the car repair shop.

[@livzlievga4222]

LR3 are pretty reliable tho

[@TONOCLAY]

@@livzlievga4222 land rover and reliable don't belong in the same sentence

TON O'CLAY I don’t know why mugs like u think Land Rover are unreliable. If u take care of any car they won’t let u down. Get lost with your shite opinions

[@TONOCLAY]

@@jai8star they aren't shit opinions they are facts lol. They have electrical problems like crazy. Aswell as engine problems. Like head gaskets and cooling. And some cars it doesn't matter how well you take care of it.

The soundtracks, the views and Clarkson, Top Gear greatest tv show ever...

[@im3phirebird81]

Do you know the name of that classical soundtrack piece playing towards the end? I know I have heard it before, but I can't name it.

[@im3phirebird81]

Ah I just found it! It is from the father of all soundtracks: Gustav Holst - Jupiter Edit: Apparently "Jupiter" is made of multiple parts and this specific part is named "Thaxted"

[@pokiou]

Funniest part of the whole clip was the following week you ended up find out that Clarkson went home and took the keys the disco with leaving the crew and the car on top the mountain stranded.

[@DU7590]

Clarkson: Look at that view. Helicopter crew filming it: How cute.

[@cl191]

@extraction706 It's actually from "Jupiter" from the Planet Suite by Gustav Holst. It was later adopter into the hymn "I vow to thee my country". They actually cut it into pieces in this film, part of it can be heard around 1:20

[@AndrewSmart32]

I remember Jeremy saying in this episode, after he got the 'disco' up the 'hill' he got a helicopter ride back (rich prick, won't be any more) leaving some of the team to take the car back down. He took the keys to the 'disco' with him. Some say they are still there today, feasting off zesty fizzy drinks and various liquids heated by diesel kindling.

I was thinking if that anchor came loose from the dirt it would become a projectile. XD haha

[@coltonjacobs5383]

I mean, there’s a lot less risk involved with a brand new winch cable that is probably rated for twice the vehicle weight than an old chain. Nonetheless, the chance for danger is still there

[@Terrifier1984]

Synthetic rope pals!!

[@galil_6863]

James May almost got killed for doing exactly that during the Middle East Special. The cable suddenly tightened up on him, which sent him flying head first into a rock.

SONG AT 3:45 I VOW TO THEE MY COUNTRY. a British hymn. the one at the end is different its called World in Union and is sung at UK rugby games

[@MaxArceus]

Oi, that 1st song is Gustav Holst's: The Planets - Jupiter :o Not a British Hymn

[@mh4447]

British hymn is to the same music mate.

[@seamusaddamson1721]

Technically, Marlinspike hall, you are incorrect. 'I Vow To Thee, My Country' has lyrics, whereas the song at 3:45 does not, therefore it is not the same song as Jupiter.

[@interpolpirate]

Yeah as the other guy said its Jupiter from Holst's Planets Suite. The 3:40-5:42 bit is also from that, but its often put to words in the hymn I Vow to Thee My Country.

that wasnt diesel he was burning because if it was it wouldnt ignite like that. it takes alot of heat to ignite diesel. it looked like bartoline white spirit to me

[@darthos6257]

[@williamhamer3661]

[@mh4447]

They use range roves as their crew cars as well as the new Discovery 4 (LR4 in america). every where they went in the specials including the Argentina and Bolivian off road special and Indian as well as Africa. Range Rovers and Land Rovers have been

[@w4397]

In Top Gear Argentina christmas special, the crew also used Toyota Fortuners alongside their Range Rovers in the filming process.

[@DoubleCGamesStudios]

They're brits, that's an obvious choice

[@Arrrbol]

The Range Rover/Disco is better than a Toyota as a film car imo - not because of their abilities but because the Range Rover has softer suspension which will help keep the camera steady, along with the higher top speed which may be needed to keep up with some of the cars they are filming.

[@kinghk5734]

Even on the grand tour

[@jessicataylor4071]

Land Rover and Range Rover are the same thing Land Rover is the brand Range Rover is the model

[@philupton1816]

I’ve got one. Identical to this. It’s phenomenal. Used it off road all over the uk. Mind blowingly good.

[@DanCooper-zs9gw]

It's a Land Rover, it's what they do. They can go anywhere, unlike other "suv's" like the Porsche Cayenne and BMW x5

[@QurttoRco]

Dan Cooper2001 cayenne and x5 are not really intended to be competitors for range rover. Then again g class walks all over range rovers so you know germans are still the best

[@Lelantos_]

QurttoRco You cant really compare a G Wagon to a Range Rover, maybe the Defender

[@Minecraftrok999]

Dan Cooper2001 Why put "Suv's" in ironic quotation marks? Suv means Sport Utility vehicle, not damn Offroader...

[@Minecraftrok999]

Lelantos and you can't really compare the Cayenne or X5 to a Range Rover...

[@Lelantos_]

Ralph Körner Definitely not, do you like Range Rovers May I ask?

[@FitzOmega]

Not sure if it's the same song but most of the time the music was 'The Planets' by Holts i think

[@stevenjr6582]

Land Rovers are incredible.perfect mix of off-roading luxury safety and everywhere capability!

[@dubyarex0624]

The music is taken from Jupiter like newtongrace said, but the song you hear is actually “I Vow to Thee, My Country”. They’ve also used the same music to make the song “World in Union”. So if all you like is the music, you can look up “Thaxted” “I Vow to Thee, My Country” or “World in Union” and get pretty much the same thing.

[@Smennyboy]

That is actually a pretty good idea. Something tells me those anchors might not be cheap though

[@landroverSV]

Own a 2008 Discovery 3 SE V8, it know has 104K miles and I love it! Even with it's sometimes pain in the butt gremlins it's still an awesome truck! Cheers 🍻 🇺🇸

[@jamdungvybz]

3:40 Jamaica's national song :') I feel proud

[@anomalyp8584]

Sounds a bit like Braveheart! :D

[@gibbsfreenthalpy]

Actually, it is the middle part of Gustav Holst's Jupiter, from his planet suite. It was often adapted for hymns, even by himself (see Thaxted) the following part is of the same piece...The hymn is very nice, I always got goosebumps when we played it with our orchestra....

[@jamdungvybz]

Freeman well i really do not care, it is the song i learned for my country and I'm proud misinformed person on the internet

[@gibbsfreenthalpy]

whoa, wait, it's not as if I want to question your pride, it is more like I wanted to make a bit of, let's say, advertisement for this piece. As the text is yours, and really, as the music has been used as the base of so many different hymns, so only the text is important, it is perfectly alright to be proud of it. But the entire musical piece, especially the orchestral version, is great and I only wanted to tell you about it...Listen to it:)

[@JohnSmith-ie1pg]

It's "I vow to thee my country" British hymn

[@TheSchumi4ever]

Thank you very much sayertherebel and TheGreasedWeasel

[@Jayster943]

"Im never going to take this watch to a thousand feet" exactly you took it over a thousand feet lol

[@futureERdoc101]

Well saidJeremy. Maybe this isnt the best family car but the LR3 is a beautiful creation. I have an 05 LR3 and I will never own any other type of vehicle. This thing drives like nothing Ive ever driven. You are completely separated from the outside when you get into one of these. And the ride is incredible. I have he V8 which i way more powerful than this one, it would have no doubt made it up with much more ease. Land Rover really got there act together with replacing the Disco II with this!

[@Monosandalos]

Later in the series we learn that at the end of that shoot he went home on the helicopter used for the areal shots and left the car to the crew to drive back. However, he still had the keys in his coat... D'oh!

[@VascoCC95]

According to Wikipedia: Off-road up a mountain/Test: off-road ability. Clarkson tried to drive a Land Rover Discovery from the beach to the top of Cnoc an Fhreiceadain in Scotland, completely off-road. It was heavily criticised by environmentalists for the damage done by the vehicle's tyres. Clarkson left the mountain by helicopter with the Discovery's keys in his pocket, which caused a delay in its removal from the hill. Series Five, Episode Three

[@tonok]

great video!! i cant help thinking about when he says "look at that amazing view" and he's right its amazing, but this is because he's never seen the view from the top of a volcano here in Guatemala...

[@alphasiderius]

What version of "World in Union" is used for the big climatic ending music?

[@crazy7997]

2:38 brings back bad memories. But with a honda 900. Yes a motorcycle. hahaha It ended up sitting on the exhaust pipes and rear tire extended all the way down into the mud. That was a long walk of shame back home to get my father and the truck with around 150' of rope/tow straps and cable to get the beast of a bike back to hard land.

[@karljaneraytapire1702]

[@greyclassic6563]

Legend has it the flags still there...

[@blackrocklookout]

Now that these have a good twenty years behind them (and many have managed to stay on the road), they've gained a small but devoted following in North America. Their value sinks like a stone, but they're in a sweet spot of half or less the cost of the same year Land Cruiser. Source parts and do the repairs yourself and you can have a decent off-road vehicle for well below the price of a Toyota.

[@ITmage]

Diesel? Doubtful he managed to light up diesel with a match.

[@cvnic]

This was a great feat. I can't wait to see what they do with the all new 2013 Range Rover.

[@TheCls63]

This SUV is a beast, its only the driver that sucks, with a good driver this SUV wouldnt get stuck a single time. For people saying american SUV are better, try to compare them against the G class Mercedes or a better Land Rover which are the best SUV in car history.

[@QurttoRco]

That the difrence mate have you ever seen woman driving Disco nope and land cruisers are for soccer moms

[@OFFICIAL_VIDEO_AWARDS]

You must be one of those people who has seen one thing their entire lives and dismiss everything else. Here in Australia we run mostly Japanese 4WDs with about 30k worth of gear on them to be able to do 3000km no fuel stop trips through crocodile infested rivers, bulldust corrugations, sand, mud and rock and even snow. Guess what.... We do get stuck but being able to winch out or recover yourself means life or death. Get over yourself Nancy

[@TheCls63]

Exactly, why not taking a great SUV thats already all equiped and has less chance getting stuck in the mud?

[@OFFICIAL_VIDEO_AWARDS]

I feel like putting a bucket over my head reading your response. Mate, a great SUV or not, they don't hover over the ground. Tyres, the type of tyre, weight, the ground conditions all come into play. The only thing a 4WD differs on not including engine power is the suspension clearance height and the wheel articulation. I have two Landcruisers, one 80 series with a 2" lift, 33" mud tyres and a bunch of other stuff like light bars, storage drawers, dual fuel tanks and a turbo diesel for touring. Just like a diesel can pretty much be submerged with a snorkel and it will run. My petrol Landcruiser is for playing about. They still get stuck. I strongly suggest you KZbin Australian 4WD Action to get a grasp of true remote 4WDing and not driving in a paddock with a car. Also a 4WD is actually a one wheel drive without diff locks. Lift one wheel on each side and no wheel will turn.

[@QurttoRco]

outwestlawns Of course but Australian army uses 6x6 g class, also if you really would want to not get stuck anywhere you buy a unimog

[@ipmangreatfan167]

If we choose what comes to us, I think you should do a test similar to this, on a different mountain. In the Marauder, that would be an awesome special!

[@Davewise1965]

Top Gear is the best motoring show ever. The car didn't really make it to the top of the hill under it's own power because the Top Gear crew had to rescue it twice. If it wasn't for the two rescues the journey would have been over long before the top of the hill.

[@mh4447]

+Dave Wiseman yes but a proper off road driver like Richard Hammond would never get it stuck in the first place

[@kkjelt]

@Damino95 1. I live in the country side. I still don't need a SUV. In fact, most people living on a farm, having the needs that you describe are farmers not able to buy an expensive car like that. And why on earth would they carry 7 people off- road? Without the 6 passengers a tractor would be a better way of towing that load. 2. You do not know what I have driven. ...to be continued...

[@RK1FX]

@torende I would buy it mainly for its off road abilities. Such a great car. Would love to compare the LR4 to Jeep GC 5.7 Overland 2011, same ground clearance and aswell a nice off road setup.

Someone should tell that guy to never ever stand between the cable and the car when you are using a winch. Very good for the the Discovery.
