High Speed Police Chase In Albania | Top Gear Classic

[@sammni]

I think as the old Top Gear audience matures we are all starting to finally appreciate the brilliance of James May

[@DrivingGod21]

Day one James May fan. Captain slow is always my favorite 😊

@@Caffeinated-DaVinci I agree, may has always been my favorite. But my appreciation for his sense of humor has only gotten better as I get older.

"I'll see you in Spain lads!" - is one of the most iconic quotes from James.

[@DaSpaceJammer]

Literally the first thing I thought of when I saw the title and thumbnail😂. An iconic quote indeed

[@SeanBarrett-i6z]

Definitely

[@TopGearClassic]

Which is more iconic? This or the Albanian rozzer line?

2:21 Muhhhhaaaaa 😂😂😂😂

[@leakyexpress9833]

by far the best line

[@mickys8065]

Honestly, even though its clearly scripted etc, it's still really impressive they were allowed to do this at all, given we can see all the roads were still being used, and they had to swerve around pedestrians etc.

[@domenicooo3217]

I was thinking the same thing. I can hardly get a shopping mall in America to let me film inside the building... these legends managed to get the damn Albanian police department to allow a road chase!

5:51 When I was younger, I genuinely thought James had died and believed it for a while. Because all the episodes I had watched after this one where older ones!

It's ok, some people still believe that Top Gear was a reality show and these things weren't part of the script.

[@Chris-bz9pg]

6:13 you can a human like figure just peering out of the car door aswell as most of the roll- the attention to detail is crazy

[@Twisted_RC]

Never noticed that before

[@nonegone7170]

'Human like figure' is one way to describe James May, i suppose.

[@Dattinator2501]

That’s actually James he was actually killed in the chase.

[@ZevMeth_originaljewishmusic]

[@janusz4156]

Instead of the Bentley Mulsanne, there is a Zastava 1100, the Yugoslav version of the Fiat 128. The fact that the Albanian police kept up with the Ghost and S 65 AMG with their Chevrolet Aveos is quite an achievement. Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG (V 221 MOPF) is the best car in this ranking and the best in the first installment of Forza Horzion. 20 years of BR 221 in 2025, 15 years of BR 221 MOPF and 55 years of Fiat 128 in 2024.

[@Firemarioflower]

I"m surprised the police were sliding so much through the corners, it looked dramatic but drifting costs you time.....

[@NuiGates2456]

Cop driving crazy bro

What’s a legendary car chase? I was always very fond of the Bentley, but now seeing you can’t even outrun the Albanian rozzers… I might reconsider

@@Firemarioflower W220 are the first S-class deviated from the "built the best no matter the cost" philosophy, due to the partnership with chrysler. So W220 suffers a lot from cost cutting and feels "cheap" compared to the previous W140
