Old Top Gear 2001 - complete

[@FSPWorks]

The late-90s and early 2000s blessed Top Gear UK with fine electronica BG music.... from Gorillaz to Groove Armada. Those were the golden days of TG UK and electronic music.

I've got goosebumps and feel like crying at the same time.

[@forza223bowe5]

I loved the late 90s and early 2000s. Seems more pleasant and nicer and real, before social media and technology took over

[@CodeNameV]

Could not agree more

[@TA_Plus_Hemi]

A friend and I used to scare people with a diagonal driver/rear passenger seat change in a few cars with the cruise set at 40 - 70 mph. LOL Van surfing, drifting, utter lack of care for speed laws and too few deputies to patrol the area, life was definitely more exciting.

[@richard29415]

Yeah exactly! I REALLY wish I could go back! FUCK THE 2010s and 2020s! Late 2015 - present, absolutely fucking dreadful! Been wanting to kill myself non stop!

[@alpzepta]

2001 to 2002 was a massive change to a Top Gear

[@farishanafiah8461]

2:01 Never thought there was a Top Gear review of the Beetle RSi. Still loving that car a lot!

[@senna2]

I've never seen the 2001 intro, thanks.

[@christopherroughton]

That beetle RSI is still on the road and was last MOT'd August of 2019. Jeep Cherokee expired in 2019.

[@tylerbauman2007]

The beetle wasn’t Mot’d after that

[@Spheredalai]

pov: it's the early 2000s and top gear editor just find the "reverse" effect

[@zeboraable]

Cool show thanks for the opportunity.

[@iyot1020]

I miss the old format

[@markcross6864]

The Volkswagen Beetle Repetitive Strain Injury....nice.

[@boi7316]

The 2003-2015 era was a lot better than the old Top Gear, but it's still a lot better than the 2016-2022 era imo

[@farishanafiah8461]

No thanks, I take Old Top Gear over 2002-2015 era all day long. As for 2016-2022 era, I started watching it after leaving The Grand Tour S2 and never looked back.

More like 2003-2015. James May wasn’t there in Season 1

Rolls Royce, travel in style, and potentially fire

[@djgoldthing7166]

The UK 300 is probably still worth 26K

When TOP gear was worth watching

[@rovert94]

Volkswagen was seriously cool back then.

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

That v5 VW Beetle is a bargain now.

[@flakedwheelie]

The last season really worth watching.

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Cool find!! The Brits got snookered!!! 😱😫 That "Jeep Cherokee" was sold for a couple of years here in the US - as the ILL fated Jeep Liberty!!! It was a DOG, USELESS in real off-road situations, and not one good Engine. It was soon dropped!! The REAL Cherokee (square headlights and all) is STILL a proper Jeep. It's too bad they sent our friends across the Pond, THAT POS...

[@paianis]

Here the 'real' Cherokee was/is? sold as the Grand Cherokee.

[@paulsmith-ib3nx]

That POS didn't fool us over here. It sold in single figures and was considered with the same suspicion as a Kia or Daewoo at the time. Anyone buying spending £25k+ on a Grand Cherokee and Voyager were considered brave and / or foolish too.

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

@@paulsmith-ib3nx Well.... The "Cherokee"(Liberty) was a failure full stop! I'm not sure what they're trying to sell you guys, but the "real" Jeep Cherokee sold here in the Colonies, is said to be the only thing that will survive a Nuclear Holocaust, along with the Cockroaches!! 😜 Those are simple and smart Off Roaders, about as spartan as the Classic Jeep CJ, from Willys heritage. I'm not afraid to admit that our attempts at challenging Land Rover in the Luxury SUV Market, has only produced OVERWEIGHT, soft, overly complex electronics, over optioned GAS HOGS!! But WAIT until next year, when Ford reintroduces the Classic Bronco!! It's already got Jeep and Dodge, quivering in their Boots. Definitely not the same ol SHITE!

[@seinsmeld13]

I live in Canada and will say all American cars have very cheap interiors. I prefer the German brands therefore I drive a 2020 Spyder and a 2019 RS3.

[@floydnut5908]

You don’t have to live outside the US to know that

[@clairejohnston7820]

That Jeep Liberty, nicest car I ever had, and also, the most unreliable. :(

[@matthewking5612]

They screwed Vicky over really. Why they had to replace her with that TWAT Richard Hammond is just beyond me!

[@floydnut5908]

He was way more popular and very well remembered. Barely anyone watches this top gear even thought it was only a year early, it’s simply because 2002 top gear was more entertaining to the average viewer. Consumer advice gets thrown out the window when most people prefer comedy and super cars

[@jdcp8976]

@@floydnut5908 Vicky was very cool, wonder what shes doing now

[@MateusHonrado]

​@@jdcp8976She's still doing Fifth Gear, which is the spiritual successor to the original 1977-2001 run of Top Gear.

[@jdcp8976]

@@MateusHonrado woah thats cool, I have seen some stuff from Fifth Gear but never saw her, looks like Ill give it another try

nothing worth watching until 20:50

The Beetle review was very good
