Love The Beast - The Full & Uncut Interview With Jeremy Clarkson

Re-upload of my other 2 videos, this time it's all one video so no need to load part 2 or anything. Also a much better quality encode, enjoy!!

[@luis39205]

These are moments that show Jeremy Clarkson's passion for cars.

[@jorgeferreira2009]

True. It's just ... Nico Rosberg is a pussy because the car bla, bla. Hamilton on the other way is brilliant ... come on!!!

[@cibriosis]

I know people call him annoying including the people he works with (may)..but it's better than being boring

I thought this but he's also got a good bottle of wine in him too!

[@cun7sathome]

Hamilton is a nob... great driver.. no personality at all... my most favorite uk driver is jensen button... that guy is one of my racing heros.. may not of been the best.. but just a brilliant guy

This interview is honestly why I think jeremy clarkson is awesome, he summarizes exactly what car culture is. its not ownership, its more of a relationship which is what makes it so annoying/awesome/frustrating/perfect.

[@johnsonpragantha2974]

When Jeremy heard 25 years of ownership of a first car, I saw that spark of respect in his eyes.

Everyone who claims to hate Jeremy should watch this video and realise the man's compassion, intellect and wit.

[@Rava7891]

And passion.

[@Rava7891]

wrong. i don`t like clarckson beacause of what he thinks -most of what comes out of that man's mouth is prepostereus!!! i respect and admire him (sourt of...) beacause after so many years you can still see he lives and breathes cars, he's still the biggest petrolhead, and you have to aknowledge that, -and, herefore respct him. Plus, he's bonkers, infantile, and loves controversy, so very fun to watch.

[@David-ud9ju]

He's a comedic genius and a great writer and actor, but basically all of his opinions are complete and utter garbage that are entirely based on ignorance, bigotry and prejudice and this interview has confirmed it for me. Also, people who don't like him don't claim he has no compassion, intellect or wit; they don't like him because he's an extreme right wing, bigoted moron with no understanding of the subjects about which he has such strong opinions.

Stirling was and is ...a Legend.

[@ardvark84]

I guess his picture should be in a book with the word "crazy".

[@clivejones7995]

If I remember correctly Stirling Moss never raced again after a big crash, Richard Hammond interviewed him after his crash and they talked about how things changed within them, Stirling said he never raced again because the very fact he had to think about how to take a corner at say 150mph and previously it was all natural he had lost the natural instinct. Clarkson has a love of what he has done through the years this interview says it all, brilliant interview, brilliant.

[@aleksandaraleksic4067]

"The greatest sports racing car ever built - really an unbelievable machine." He said about 300SLR. Also he stated that with it he can beat any driver in any car today if Mille Miglia opened angain.

6:20-7:00, shows how much of a true enthusiast he is. Too many people today are critical and negative toward different styles. A true enthusiast like Jeremy appreciates it all.

[@jamesmcd71]

I love the fact that he really gets the love of a car. Only a true car guy can understand it. There is no way to explain or quantify it. You just know .

[@shriharihudli]

Agreed. It's not something that can be put into numbers, or even words. It's a certain magic that only a few cars have, that can give you true driving pleasure, no matter their other flaws. Then, as JC said, you form a relationship with that car and it becomes as real and meaningful to you as, say, your wife. It goes from being an object to a living, breathing entity with a soul, and a lifelong friend.

[@julietmike1018]

This is bang-on. I really do love cars like the GT-R and the Veyron, as well as a lot of the new stuff that has come out with the hybrid technology. They're absolutely insane for performance cars and produce some massive numbers. But Jezza was right. I've been fortunate enough to have been able to drive a lot of cars. Three of which were truly analog. They were a 1997 Dodge Viper GTS, 2006 BMW Z4 M, and a 2006 Lotus Elise. I've also gotten to drive some other great cars like an Audi TT RS and (the crown jewel of my driving history) a GT-R. The GT-R out-performs everything that I just said and then some. And I don't want to run off to the typical GT-R hater argument, but on the road it was a little boring. It was so perfect that it was almost like it wouldn't let me have any fun. It had the characteristics of a very strict middle school teacher. It knew everything that it was supposed to do before I did, so it sort of took away from the driving. Then I look at the Z4 M. It was a modern M car but it was the last truly old-fashioned M car. It had a straight-6 in the front, a manual (only) in the middle, and was RWD. But to get any real power out of it you really had to coax it. It was slow to the redline and really liked to get its tail out in the corners despite its massive rear tires. But that gave it personality. My favorite was the Viper though. You can't see out of it, the massive engine doesn't help with the weight, the weight distribution is terrible, it's redline is staggeringly low and in the corners it wanted nothing more than to kill you if you didn't drive it right. If you watch the movie "How to Train Your Dragon" you can sort of understand what I'm on about. If you screw up it will punish you. But if you get it right you can take pride in the fact that YOU did it, and that you tamed a car that it would take someone else a lot of time to master.

[@TheNightrunner666]

When my brother wrote off his 71 camaro. He pulled it outta a junk yard spent years restoring it piece here piece there. Sometimes with a big budget and sometimes buying a bolt at a time. One day he got a little too showy and that was it. Towed the car back to the garage and put her in the back. He was walking around it. And u could just see the time line going through his mind. Remember when It took me a month to find your fender? And the damn thing wouldn't fit right. Oh the polishing to get your clear coat just right. Trying to find just the right rims and tires for you. Told you I wanted them fat and sticky. Reworked your suspension to give you some grace. He gets to thr front of the car and puts the slightly hanging grill back into its shroud like you have to be presentable. Meanwhile the whole fronts smashed. Then he says "I let you down old girl" patted her on the hood and walked away. That car has spent ten years in the back of the garage un touched. And not another project has been laid down.

[@LordDarthTrader]

Anyone else think that that was a brilliant interview ?

[@klgamit]

Yes. I think in fact it's brilliant because it's a conversation. Most interviews don't give a real feeling of communication, because in an interview both people have different "roles" (interviewer and interviewee).

[@tommylee7329]

Nope the american guy was just stroking his ego, you could see he wasnt listening to Jeremy, he was just waiting for him to stop talking so he could keep on talking about his car

[@vandecayear10]

Tommy Lee there was no American in this interview haha. And Eric Bana was talking about his car because this interview was created specifically for his documentary ABOUT HIS CAR.

[@d1me75]

This was one of the best and most personal interviews I've listened to, I enjoy Clarkson's no filter and his lack of fear when it comes to voicing his perhaps mean or rude opinions. Hell this isn't even an interview its pretty much two car guys reliving memories and talking about their passion.

[@hayksamvelyan]

Eric already knew what he wanted to do, this interview simply served him as a validation from one of the greats in motoring journalism.

[@ramjb]

He didn't know. In fact he's on record stating that he didn't know what he was going to do. And that's validated by facts - by the time the documentary was released he stilly didn't know. He didn't get the rebuild process going until a couple years later, and as far as I know, the rebuild wasn't finished until a further couple years more. So that car was sitting untouched for at least four years since the crash before he decided he was going ahead with it ,and then a further couple years before the rebuild was complete. Crash happened in 2007, this interview/conversation happened around 2008. The documentary was released to theaters in 2009. Yet work on the car didn't start until 2011, and wasn't fully rebuilt until 2013. Nope - Eric had not a clue on what he wanted to do.

[@RandomTXDude210]

He doesn't need to plinth it. He needs to rebuild it, drop the horsepower down to around 400hp, naturally aspirated, put street tires on it, rip that roll cage out, and use it as a Sunday driver. No racing. Nothing serious or dangerous, just a windows down, stereo off, cruising the back roads kind of car. Lay a few elevenses here and there, roast the tires in a few empty parking lots, and relive the wondrous memories of youth a few times a month in the car that made those youthful memories possible.

[@XxThatMOPARDudexX]

RandomTXDude210 100% agree there mate, i have a friend who is always talking about building racecars and he just doesnt understand why I dont want to, and me reason is pretty much summed up in your paragraph. Inevitably you will crash a racecar, but with a street car it doesnt have to be perfect like a racecar, infact its the faults that give it character, i would rather have a sunday cruiser that i can maybe take for cruises and bomb some back roads with whilst roasting tyres and just have fun. If i wreck it oh well its a £4000 car. Not a £100,000 racecar

[@Cyba_IT_NZ]

Yup, great idea. But I'd keep it at 600hp hehe

[@decarlocalloway01]

No, plinth it. The car is shit.

[@ramjb]

​@@Cyba_IT_NZ He kept it at 600hp-ish. Completely rebuilt the car, this time including proper custom made suspension. And while it's not on a plynth certainly that car is not getting raced ever again...even if now it's in a much better condition to do it than when it actually was taken to one of the toughest motorsport events in the world. Gotta give it to Eric Bana, it takes balls to ride a 600hp monster with XIX century suspension technology in a rally event. Either that, or complete blissful ignorance. Because that's just utter crazyness. I don't even know how he even entertained the idea of taking that car to such a racing event, but the outcome was anything but unexpected...and if anything he got off it lightly. Clarkson's shocked reaction when he heard the power figures on that car, with the suspension it had, is priceless. Rightfully so...

Never thought about what gives a car a soul, but he's so right. I cried when my first car went to be scrapped. It was a terrible car, literally half the car was rust, the carburetor was shot, it let me sit a couple times, but I loved it. The scrapper allowed me to pull a few parts off of it that I was going to put on my second car, also a 78 Impala, and just over from my now beaten car sat a 72 Caprice 4 door hard top with the roof cut off. I loved how huge it was, the black interior contrasting with the white exterior and I felt sad for this beautiful car going to waste. That caprice obviously stuck in my subconscious. A few years later I got my hands on a 72 Impala 4 door hard top. And I absolutely loved this car. It was a little worse for wear, it was 40 years old so I expected it. Even though it wasn't as quick or handled as well as my second 78, I was the captain of a bona fide land yacht. When I moved away from home, I could only take one car. At the time I had my 78 Impala, 79 Silverado short bed with a cammed 350 and 4 on the floor, the 72 Impala, and a 92 Silverado with a 305. The 92 was the most reliable, but I chose to keep the 72. I wasn't even home when we were forced to get rid of it. As they hauled it away my wife, who hated that car, started crying because she saw it as a part of me since that was the car I drove to meet her. Hell, when my parents die, I probably won't get choked up as much as I am now recounting this story. I loved that car more than my first one.

Actor Eric Bana or F1 driver Mark Webber? You never see the two together, the mystery deepens? lol

[@petebegnell9480]

Mark Leadbeater... its all in the chin...

[@erikhertzer8434]

Mark Leadbeater ...so which one is the super hero?

[@taelorwatson9822]

Mark Webber is an amazing actor But Eric Bana is only a decent driver

[@barrybigballs6339]

just glad i'm not the only one.

[@rogefedwon]

Woah, I thought this was Mark Webber the F1 driver

[@queenanne5917]

I wish they'd have cut to the photos they were passing eachother.

[@MatHelm]

Watch the film "Love The Beast"

[@matmc71]

yes. most annoying isnt it dear?

[@AroundnBackAgain]

Describing the basis of quality of a relationship as the interaction of individual imperfections and foibles of each party was just beautiful.

[@RahulKumar-pw4nd]

This man has the most amazing facts and stories which you won't find in any book, magazine or internet....

[@LucianPrimeOneMillion]

What a superb interview.... I hope the trio can come together under their own show again.... Almost seems like they trying to outshine each other in this interview lol.... But Jeremy will always have the upper hand ;-)

[@ionianfalcon]

Just the first 10 seconds... That's why I love Jeremy.

[@markwright7021]

I really enjoyed this, I thought it was going to be a boring interview talking about this car and that , But when the guy introduced the photos and story of his car, it turned into a cracking chat about what owning and driving a car is about. Restore the car! Love it And fair play to Clarkson, he got it

[@ganz7ful]

"Plinth my ride" Brilliant! Made me laugh out loud. Great video

[@waitingforacentury]

"I've left wiser". What a gentleman thing to say at the end of a chat

[@Alexandra-Rex]

Great guys, great movie, great conversation.

[@martinjrgensen8234]

This is an absolute wonderful conversation. I would watch a show like this, about two enthusiasts talking about cars.

[@BarracksSi]

Great chat. Thanks for the upload.

[@braddietzmusic2429]

You don’t need an “interview” or “interviewer” if the conversation is this good. Anyone complaining about the “interview” is sadly missing the point... and the joy of it all.

[@BammerD]

I can relate to the love of your first car. I've owned my 1976 Chevrolet Monte Carlo for 16 years and she needs restoration. I will not get rid of her, but I will not "plinth" her either. She will be restored one day and I will continue to drive her.

[@sanjayj1432]

I was rethinking my passion for cars these days, which had been going on solid for almost 23 years of my life. Everybody preaching about EVs and the international, unreasonable obessession with SUVs, I started second guessing about my passion being over. Then I came back to this interview and started thinking maybe it would be nice to have my own youtube channel about cars. Its Jeremy, along with James & Richard who taught me how cars could be loved & enjoyed. They made me get onto not only the surface level but into the deep technical aspects. So much so then when I had the chance to get a car of my own five years back, its still there, running and taking me places. Only these three can reinstate the love for cars I have whenever I think what is even the point of being a petrolhead these days.

[@MoldyWormStudios]

Jeremy Clarkson is a true car guy, he understands the connection between man and machine, and this it is not just a hunk of metal

[@jippalippa]

What a tease, i wanted to see the pictures :(

[@Z-Twinturbo]

+jippalippa you can see them in the movie

[@MatHelm]

Watch the film "Love The Beast"

[@Zeebad_1st]

JC before he looked 100 years old.

[@vyrnmn]

Only 99 years old

[@nickyborrisino]

30 years later, I still have my first car, a 1983 Maserati Biturbo, which I’ve rebuilt twice to correct design flaws. There’s a trick to crank, there’s a trick to drive, and there’s a trick to shut down, but I still love her because of all the imperfections.

[@pgrens]

Thank you for sharing, I thoroughly enjoyed watching!

[@lucifer7472]

Was about to write the same :)

[@decemberferret]

this is how most interviews should be. Seemed kind of awkward between the two and I think Bana was tipsy. Entertaining, but was actually raw.

[@Exevium]

I couldn't say it better myself.

[@ianedmonds9191]

There's a definite symmetry between these guys that make this a very special interview. It's Clarkson at his best and closer to his real personality and Eric Bana is is honest and genuinely seeking advice. It's a really nice interview. Now an ill judged step beyond that comment. Clarkson's up for some abuse right now because of a supposedly racist comment recently that wasn't aired but was leaked to a paper. It was nothing of the sort. It was a childs ryhme to make a random decisions amongst a group of kids. I'm sure if you grew up in the 70s and 80s you remember the rhyme and it I never considered it in any way racist. It was a folk rhyme. Exactly the same as we have Folk songs etc. Now it may be the case that it originates from the slaving business that Britain made a fortune from and tries very hard to pretend never happened but stuff like that is in the playgrounds and it's a remnant of that era. It was in the folk rituals when we grew up so we remember it. By that time it was just how you decided who was out at Tig. I can totally see me off the cuff using it to decide which car to drive from two totally equal cars because that's what that thing was for. It was never seen as racist by the people using it even though it may have been by the people that made it up.

[@Cyba_IT_NZ]

Everyone knows it's a kids rhyme that kids still use today! It's just that we've become so f'n pc it's ridiculous.

[@brucelamberton8819]

Unfortunately there are too many people in the UK - and especially the BBC - who want to see Clarkson fail because his frankness does not fit into their politically-correct world, and they will do everything possible to engineer his downfall.

[@canyonhaverfield2201]

very richly funny,we have two generations here,like son and father,having the ideal conversation ... the son admitting flat out.. his infatuation with a tin heap... father going gently into truth mode... saying son,bolt it to plate and suspend it's use over a road not upon it ! Just gold, solid gold conversation ! Big thanks for chat I never had with my own dad . Best to you both !

[@TanujDamani]

Its brilliant to see this interview, as it seemed like a chat between two mates about the loves of their lives! Reminds of similar chats i used to have with my mates a few years ago.

[@DocDudix]

When was this interview originally filmed? He's talking about traction control in F1, which, as far as I can remember, was banned for 2008

[@BlaizeV]

the film was released in 2009 so likely late 2007 or even 2008 and he just forgot as it was a new change

[@carbon1255]

blaizevincent He mentions just doing the top gear American special which was broadcast in feb 07, so it is probably early 07.

[@christopherjohnson6464]

this should be the top comment c'mon clarkson. You're talking out your arse here!

Somebody cut that uncut interview! Thanks for the upload.

[@arkhamreleased]

i really enjoyed that, thanks for posting

[@Exevium]

Erik, you're a terrible interviewer... But you did give me the best conversation between carlovers I've ever seen.

[@Exevium]

Oh no, it's more that for an interviewer, he talks an awful lot about his own experiences. Again, one of the best conversations ever, but not so much an interview.

[@jakesaddo]

It wasn't really an interview, more of a discussion

[@A_Maggot]

It's like Jeremy was trying to lighten the conversation and have some fun, but Eric is having none of it.

[@waitingforacentury]

It was ment for being a chat about his car for in a movie and not ment as an interview with JC
