There's something very, very wrong about Clarkson in a Model T, but if May had done it... this segment would have been two hours long!

[@Theredtail95]

They only had a few minutes for the segment. That's exactly why May wasn't put in the Model T. They made him drive the French Car with the Crowbar of Embriage.

[@KajoFox]

But if james may HAD been able to do 2 hours, I'd have watched it. I always wanted to hear the end of james' rants whenever they started.

[@firestar2220]

and if hammond had done it he'd have crashed

[@paulleow8017]

Funnily enough in another series, James May actually did do a segment on the Model T

[@whovianhistorybuff]

Another problem with the model T was that there was no fuel pump, the fuel was fed to the carburetor by a sloped pipe via gravity so if you tried driving it up a hill it would stall halfway up and you'd need to push it so it was facing downhill to start it again, or drive it all the way up in reverse

[@heartland96a]

That only applied if it was a steep enough hill and that the gas tank was mostly empty. The design was to be simple. , no fuel pump , no water pump , no external generator it was built into the fly wheel

[@Citizen_Snips1]

To be fair the Model A solved the issue by simply mounting the fuel tank higher in the car (As part of the cowl). This allowed the Model A to scale all but the steepest hills without issue on its simple gravity fed fuel system.

[@thatrecord5313]

I believe in 1919, half the cars were Ts. By 1927 they were obsolete and losing car sales. And shifting to 2nd requires dropping the gas to idle, shift, and then increase throttle. As for being "obtuse," there was no defined method of car control placement. Nearly every car of the same period was "obtuse."

[@manwithnoname3279]

Thing is with the model T, it is not difficult to drive in my opinion, the hard part is to learn how to drive it, if you are use to how modern cars work. I actually prefere to drive the model T in some ways, to modern cars

[@rexjolles]

Yep

[@Goat4459]

True

[@lordbogus6709]

Why would you ever prefer a car with a very heavy clutch which has cruise control in second gear with the throttle on the steering wheel? Why is that better than being able to precicely controll your throttle, breaking, clutch and gear

[@HonARGUru]

So does that mean the crowbar of embrayage won´t be coming on then.....

[@jamesparsons9022]

Well James, it’s been defunct in cars now for over 100 years, and people generally prefer operating a clutch with their feet, rather than their hands. So no.

[@matthewblackwell5274]

Driving a T is not difficult but just different. E.g. you don't need to synchronize gears to shift.

[@syahfinoakbar2227]

It's easier isn't it

[@MyFabian94]

It's not a Constant Mesh Transmission. It's more like an Automatic without the Torque Converter. You basically Neutral Drop it to get going in First, and then into Direct Drive for Second, by disengaging the First Gear, and connecting the Clutch that directly connects to the Crankshaft and Driveshaft. And it doesn't have Wheelbrakes as Standard. Your Brake sits in the Transmission, and is of the same type as the Transmission Bands, so it has very little Authority, and if any of the flimsy Shafts in the Trannie ot the Differential break, you can't brake anymore. It's very, very, very different from any other Car.

[@markusr7421]

I would agree so. You gotta learn to speed with your hand and turn the ignition up and down according to your speed. Otherwise you have two gears working nearly without clutch like modern cars. Push the left - first gear; let it go - the second gear + putting the handlever forward.

[@jacobrumens9601]

Ah yes, the car that revolutionised everything.

[@IliaJolbordi]

[@deathlessgamer]

On an episode of QI I Believe, Jeremy once said that the Model T Ford only has two speeds: fast and really quite very fast indeed. I think this clip illustrates that quite well. Edit: Found the clip, but I got the quote slightly wrong: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp2mkneOepyShLMsi=ICMZN_5xHJtgDzDd

Oh my God another Brit ragging on the Model T. If it had been made in England they'd be raving about it. The T is NOT complicated to drive. If you've never driven before, it's very easy which was an important selling point when customers were used to horses and wagons. The fact is that the T was perfect for its time. That's why there were 15 million of them.
