There is part of the video only about a minute that is muted, this is due to copyright of a song used that was blocking the video from being published.
Made by BBC Pebble Mill on BBC 2

This isn't old Top Gear. This is just Top Gear.

[@jimtaylor294]

Nah; tis Older Top Gear 😂

[@loganmtb5376]

Ok but 90s sports bikes are top tier for looks

[@jimtaylor294]

Definitely 🤔 Family member had a Ducati (some derivative of the 916). Always enjoyed hearing her starting up and revving 😂 .

[@horse5407]

God, Steve Berry is hard to stomach.

[@jimtaylor294]

Yup. Some would call him *A Turd in a Suit* 😂

[@intermodus2180]

I think Jeremy just makes everyone look inadequate. I Know the feeling.🦊🚬

[@swineinbrine9434]

Stop eating him then you freak

BBC2 Continuity On Thursday 14th November 1996.

That R080 is a stretch Austin Maxi!

Love classic Clarkson. Thanks for posting & a question, I have loads of old video tapes of late 80s & 90s tv shows & would like to put on YT (once I learn how to do it). & am wondering have you ever ran into copyright issues re your uploads. there is music, comedy & all sorts on the tapes that people might enjoy. Cheers

Depends if you're in the US. Americans police their content very thoroughly, the Europeans not so much so, so old UK TV for example would be fine

[@deandeifir9515]

@@Psycandy appreciate the reply & it is old UK tv recordings. time to dust off the VCR so.

[@GT380man]

Look at the lad culture. They all looked to be enjoying themselves. And not only the lads.

[@jimtaylor294]

"Kicking back with your knees in the breeze... or the sleet" The guy's a bellend, but that's a great motto for being a Biker in Britain 😂

[@Psycandy]

'stealth tornado'? - can't imagine a 450hp motor is all that quiet, nor have a great turning circle, but it probably has a devastating effect on the environment so i guess it was well-named.

[@jimtaylor294]

Eeh. The fact that the full name references three separate Jet Fighters shows pretty well that those behind the car had quite the sense of humour 😂

[@leenevin8451]

Why don’t all cars have power steering buttons?

[@jimtaylor294]

Why indeed. Flappy Pedals are no fun at all.

[@db-mp2of]

NSU is nice, but Citroen, years ahead

[@johnfh]

Jeremy is like Marmite, isn't he? I like them both!

[@fabianbernard6819]

The noises the Jag TWR does when opening/closing the hood and door say a lot about low construction standards...

[@jimtaylor294]

Nah. Tis what lightweight materials sound like. That's why luxury cars are quite the opposite; heavy, wafty and slow.

[@Embracing01]

Dunno where Clarkson went clubbing, but I have never been to a nightclub where the bouncer didn't like you wearing jeans.

[@Kiinell]

Back in the 90's you were turned away from most places wearing jeans. You also had to wear a collar and trainers were a flat refusal.

[@Embracing01]

@@Kiinell I suppose that was before I started clubbing, but when I used to go clubbing in the early-mid 2000s jeans were accepted, well the clubs and bars I would go to in my town anyway. I know trainers were a flat refusal and still are, but never had a problem with jeans. Obviously the rules have changed.

[@jimtaylor294]

Yeah. Jeans used to be synonymous with being a bit of a troublesome lout (at least when on a guy); sometimes still holds true but they're a lot more upmarket fare these days. (at least; the ones not full of fake paint stains and pre-ripped fabric, which even as a kid in the '90's I thought were daft)

[@Embracing01]

@@jimtaylor294 Yeah I think wearing jeans became synonymous with James Dean, well that's what I think was why jeans became fashionable. Yeah I hate ripped jeans but don't mean the faded jeans.

[@Kiinell]

Quentin must be wearing beer goggles on this one. Bloody ugly car.

[@horse5407]

Don’t get it at all. The things hideous and looks so dated.

[@jimtaylor294]

Quentin's diatribe is rather well known for takes that age like milk 😂

[@leenevin8451]

It’s a 1965 car that looks like a 1975 car

[@steffanhoffmann]

Clarksons presentation srtyle hasnt dated well. In fact it's downright cringeful.

[@Embracing01]

I think his humour and lines were far funnier in the old series than with Hammond and May, the latter I was certainly not a fan of it, it wasn't a motoring series to me just 3 blokes pratting about and everyone obsessed with the Stig, cars that noone could afford.

[@steffanhoffmann]

@@Embracing01 perhaps so and I agree about prattling about plus unaffordable cars. Stig bla de bla

[@jimtaylor294]

Anhedonic much? 😂

[@energymc22]

I imagine Clarkson reading out your sentence in his way, with the pause and emphasis on the second part.
