What modifications would you make to your custom Ripsaw?

[@overmalaziastv1909]

Nukes

[@loui_the_wanderer]

A V8 blender

[@tharindukanchana2077]

Automatic canon mounted on top

[@jackrasbeary4156]

I’d set the driver’s position for me and disable the ability to make any future adjustments. It will then be secure from my wife and Hammond.

[@Signerdragon123]

Add the drill cone from the Mole. (Thunderbirds)

[@subliminalvibes]

I like how they purposefully didn't show Richard's assumed climbing expedition required to get into that cockpit.

[@aeis3007]

That would extend the footage by 3 days

[@Tfaonc]

He'd get slower and slower the closer he got to the top as his growing erection became more and more awkward.

[@roncyrebello6407]

10 days

[@greenlightxbpg]

[@jackrasbeary4156]

Hammond’s yearn to be American shines brightest when he embraces it.

[@kingjellybean9795]

Ya think the tit would move already lol

[@drakeschlepphorst1027]

We'll proudly accept Richard as one of us. He owns a mustang, a Harley Davidson, and has driven at least 2 military vehicles as a civilian. He'll fit in great!

[@Vladpryde]

@Openside 7 Go ahead and move there. Don't forget Mao's Little Red Book, I hear it's required reading over there.

[@SeisoPervert]

@@Vladpryde said the guy name vlad

[@FrostMonolith]

Back when this aired, a news site in Dubai mentioned this incident directly, and they really didn't know what "movie" needed this kind of "film scene". You guys sure love to surprise people who live in places you guys visit to.

[@SquareNoggin]

Well that's what I'm wondering the whole time - those people in the mall looked to be having genuine reactions. Like straight up running away... How do they even set up a shoot like that? Planning to throw a tank through a wall in a mall... with unsuspecting pedestrians in it? Or am I just a dumbass and those people were extras? They earned there wage if they were, cause they seemed genuine af

[@xt1an93]

Lol

[@TheNamesArif]

@@SquareNoggin they're actors. This probably cost a lot to film

[@OriruBastard]

Well, yeah. I don't think they'd get away with killing people.

[@adrianke77]

That's a fake wall built for the crash through, as is visible from the lack of debris and the perfectly shaped cinder blocks rolling away.

[@ArbathSahadewa]

This vehicle is PERFECT for Hammond, It's definitely got anti crash feature in it.

[@Themadhatton]

This is hammond we’re talking about. He’ll find a way.

[@mufflejoy]

The ripsaw doesn't crash, everything around it does.

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

We need to name all celebrity's and youtube users who have big nick names Hammond the crasher And linus drop tips literally lol Hammond can be named the power jessa Captain slow 🐌

[@carolynohearn6872]

Hammond will crash any vehicle

[@IkeaFoodCounter]

I love how the side windows are higher than Richard’s eye level.

[@klk1989]

Ah, now that's where Hammond got the idea from to build his Ford Focus RS on the Grand Tour Madagascar special.

[@ADaiwa_14]

If only he did it better maybe it wouldn’t have failed so badly

[@imnotsubbingtoeveryonewhos7996]

Thats even better than the marauder in traffic

[@THEGRANDTOUR-kt3jh]

Yaa it is

[@christopher32074]

And is smaller too. And you don’t have to do some serious paperwork to drive that vehicle.

[@unofficialJohnReese]

Tbh 300k for that isn't bad. Considering how much a lambo would cost. Spend a bit more and you won't be worried about crashing it

[@davidmathay7117]

And honestly, a Lambo wouldn't raise to many eyebrows in Dubai. Now a tank driving down the main street of town, or THROUGH a mall, might raise one or two. LOL!

[@qw3rty629]

Also no more shrieking at the sight of potholes

[@SilvaDreams]

Honestly you can get one cheaper, you just lay off on all the luxury options like the leather seats and stuff.

[@Trenaime]

Sounds like a deal to me

[@mickenoss]

I remember watching this thing pull humvees out of marshes like 15 years ago, cool to see how far it's come.

[@PublicBus09]

"Hey, what's our budget for this film?" The producers: "yes"

[@ryang3588]

Driving through the roundabout then smashing through the mall hilarious how do you get away with this and how do I double thumbs up video video 😂

[@adamwilliams4377]

I wondered how they get away with it I'm sure if you or I did that we would be in jail for crashing though a shopping mall. Would love to test that tank though.

[@ryang3588]

@@adamwilliams4377 Shopping mall probably built a wall in a garage door were they unload trucks or something. But I’ve always wanted to drive through a roundabout like that lmao

[@shibinmi]

That wall was just build for the episode with a few concrete blocks stacked without any binder and covered on either side with gypsum boards. Considering the cost of the above items here in dubai, that thing must have cost less than the neatly trimmed bushes he wrecked in that roundabout

[@jarodmeijer6813]

Of course Hammond has a winch on his luxury tank! 😂😂

[@decodolly1535]

I wouldn't be surprised if baby Hammond had a winch on his pram.

[@Progection]

That's what Hammond should have been driving for the Amazon treasure hunt episode rather than the makeshift triangular treads he used.

01:13 They've really used Comic Sans as a font for the switches 😂

[@KNOWHOPE72]

Nothing more entertaining than watching hamster driving ludicrous vehicles. "If you are 9 years old, which I am" lol. Its incredible what Dubai will allow you to do if it serves as good publicity!

[@st20332]

[@beachbarlouie7522]

LOL I love the part where he side swiped the BMW! That 2 seconds was the whole show!

[@mjh5437]

[@sir_spenj3465]

[@MotivationSHCUM]

Because it's not a tank, just a tracked vehicle

[@SynchronizorVideos]

Because it’s Dubai. Good opportunity to show off their snazzy mall, and they probably wipe with more money than it cost to clean some floors and re-plant a few hedges. Besides, Amazon probably footed the lion’s share of the cost for the shoot anyway.
