The Best of Old Top Gear Vol. 2

Second one with more stuff and better editing. Enjoy!

[@ryans5368]

Good god - the early top gear was an actual car review TV show.

Like Jeremy once said: Ambitious but rubbish Still pretty interesting tho, seeing them discussing older tech in such a way

Would love a job like Jermery Clarkson

[@briansteffmagnussen9078]

Two things that comes together for me in this episode. "If i had all the money in the world" And Golf. I would buy a Golf II any day, And with limitless amount of money it would be a 4x4 turbo intercooler Diesel with the pump wrenched up to rolling serious coal. And if it could be shoehorned in the engine will be minimum a 2,5 l.

bloody hell the tempra was a mess with its explosion-prone engine

[@tdp2612]

I've seen 2 of them now, and the second one I saw spent half the info sheet at the car show telling people how few are left

[@AGlasgowBoy]

I love old Top Gear. Seeing people enthuse over Vauxhall Omegas and Fiat Tempra is hilarious nowadays.

[@bensmithkent22]

Omega was a seriously respectable car where the tempra was always a shambles.

[@PerpetualTiredness]

Thanks, I enjoyed Tiff's piece on the NSX and the ever slick Quentin's piece on car auctions.

[@markturner-smith5309]

Golf MK3 much criticism in its later life (& then regarding power output) but think it was summed up well by the reviewer it was designed perfectly for the market of the time yes 115bhp was poor from a 2.0Ltr but it was quality & handling feel. Still have a MK3 GTI over what else was around hot hatch wise in that bunch of cars he had lined up.

[@bogdanzivkovic157]

We had a Tempra in our family for 14 years or so. It was an 1991 carburetor version 1.6L SX sedan. Current owners of the car are also 8th owners. Car has done well over 600.000km, God knows how much over 🤣. Not a single engine rebuild, not a single critical rust points. Unlike the Vectra or Sierra, Tempra keeps going.. and sadly, all Vectras and Sierras are scrape metal now :)

[@teodoreberbach3651]

My father has Sierra - it is still in the running condition and used from time to time.

[@emgee9775]

Not quite, a Sierra with over 600k on the clock went for a good price at auction a few years back.

[@JohnAlanSlavin]

Excellent stuff. Thanks for this!

[@Turbo_TechnoLogic]

Hah I never watched this but it's somehow so calming and just nice, it's almost strange Am I the only one who likes this more than the new megaHD supernew show, despite the quality?

[@lastp6905]

I agree, it’s very nice and relaxing, I often watch these late at night

[@Turbo_TechnoLogic]

@@lastp6905 Yeah well I mean I don't even have any childhood memories or nostalgia factor attached, not even living in UK. I guess it's somehow more human? Not overwhelming or too much, just plain nice and a bit funny. Or something like this

[@jennifersivewright3117]

As teenage girls my friend and I would compare notes after each episode. Mind we both wanted a Jaguar XJS not a Fiat Tempra. First car was a FIAT 126 latest a Jaguar.

[@sjr999r]

Back in the day…those 220 turbo coupes were quick old things

[@dimashevchenkoua]

Quentin, Tiff, and Vicki are very underrated.

[@krwilliams3876]

Agreed! :) And this is coming from a nineteen year old who's been watching Old Top Gear on KZbin since he was sixteen!

[@YISTECH]

Wow mate , I’m currently 15 and I’ve been watching top gear since I was like 3

[@justseewut1tdoo12]

I played this in 144p and saw no difference.

[@onsomebits7486]

Crazy how the amount of road tests were around staffordshire with the old series of TG

[@daibhidepaor]

loved it,thanks alot,,,,brought back so many memories of the good,bad and ugly of motoring ,,oh the metro,such a rust bucket,,buth my dad had a lancia thema,,what a great car.,pity he didnt have the ferrarri version tho!

[@donnerblitzen1388]

This over caffeinated american also uses it for naptime. Also, ever thought of using motorweek as well? But old top gear is in a class of its own.

[@ridanann]

[@TheOmniscientAtheist]

I remember seeing alot of rover Metros everywhere when I was a kid but haven't seen any in about 10 years, I think they have all been on the scrap heap for a long time.

[@Eliteerin]

I remember my mum getting given one by my grandma when her car broke

[@bensmithkent22]

My dad hired a white one in 1993 or was it 94 was a k plate. Loved that week cos he had been without a car since 89. Not having a car is one thing I hold a grudge against him for. All kids had cars at my school. Meant cars took in a significance in my life my uncle always had niceish company ones scorpios sterlings s types etc. in an era before everybody had financed 3series and merc c220ds and x overs his cars were fairly premium.

[@Peppermint1]

I miss 90s cars. yes these were cramped and thin metal, but the engines were revvy and connected to the car body, it was a tactile experience. Cars today have become too disconnected

[@missionseven7972]

Thanks for the upload

[@oddities-whatnot]

Used to drive an "F" reg Range Rover vogue, in white, back in 1991. Superb car, although the fuel economy was shocking with the V8!

[@jensenovesian2861]

[@Joke9972]

Optional outcome for the Opel Calibra test : 'All is nice and well, but we managed to push off the middle pedal... so I am now looking for a piece of cloth usable as a parachute...' lol. Thx for uploading.

[@jamesmiller3142]

Two things to remember for Mr Goffey, put the boot catch high up and whatever you do make sure the SPARE WHEEL IS UNDER THE CAR!

[@elisorrells5314]

And dont let his pant leg get dirty

[@dachronicalalittlebitofeve6630]

Talk about trying to find faults lol “hand break is difficult to access with the arm rest down... you have to unload all this luggage out of the boot to get to the spare wheel!” 😂😂🤣🤣

[@camobash2462]

Good god. And this is the “best of old top gear.”

[@shazash1]

LoL.. Chris Goffey is always going on about banging his head on boot/ tailgate locks and catching his finger nails on various trims in car interiors. He points out things a normal person wouldn't even bother mentioning.

[@bensmithkent22]

And was such a snappy classy dresser.

[@bensmithkent22]

Imagine him preparing the bed before and after sex.

[@drstevenrey]

Can I just say, the problem with a spare wheel under the boot floor. Want it outside, good, but you still need to get at the screw to lower the wheel from the bottom of the boot floor. So you still need to empty the boot. I hate to say this, but Rover, the P6, with the wheel on the boot lid, that is or was the only real good solution.

[@dexraikkonen7]

I was trying to watch some old top gear but I think I clicked on the movie pixels by mistake.

[@StarrBoyVRC]

You do realise this is now 30 to 40 years old lol

[@epender]

@@StarrBoyVRC But the resolution in those days was still 480i, or 576i in Europe, not 144p or whatever pixely mess this is, it's obviously recorded at a really low resolution

[@RWL2012]

​@@ependera common mistake people make when digitising analogue video is to use lossy compression.

[@epender]

@@RWL2012 Yeah, that and the fact that a lot of older KZbin videos were edited and exported at horrible resolutions/bitrates which doesn't help.

[@actionjackson9000]

Man, this is so different than the antics of the modern show. This is just... simply a collection of no BS car reviews. XD

[@AhHereWeGo]

I never realized that Vauxhall is just geo, only noticed when he called the Geo Tracker a Vauxhall frontera

[@mattik2590]

Vauxhall has same line up as Opel, they are just right hand steering versions for UK. Geo Tracker has nothing to do with Vauxhall, it's was made by GM Canada and Suzuki and was roughly same as Suzuki Escudo.

Sean Bassett another 8 yo toddler with full diapers fighting hard for attention. Same comment just like under every Old Top Gear video. Toddler, you would be surprised but there are people on this planet that don't considered explosions and piano gag in each episode as funny. And also there are people that don't consider scripted "accidental" situations recognizable minutes ahead as funny.

[@CineScarborough]

I absolutely hated that Wilson guy slating the original metro Those cars were just designed to be what they were a simple small hatchback I really wonder if other cars in the same group as the metro did actually rust Or did the program just find the most scabby metros That Wilson guy is just a total snob Notice how he didn't give the range rover as bad scathing as the metro Geez both came from the same manufacturer ie Austin Rover
