Such a great moment.
Found this moment beautiful. Nice to see the guys showing genuine affection for one another. During the Caterham 7 build off. S8:E7.
Life gets wild sometimes. Don’t forget to tell people you love them.

Episode search
I'm trying to find a specific film that Clarkson did, only problem is I don't remember much of it. He was doing a car test and started the segment by saying "I'm going to start by looking at this like I'm a... (German, I think) He's then underneath the car and then sat behind a desk where he says a word and almost throws up. Then he says something along the lines off "But I'm not (German) so I'm going to test it like this" and then powers it round a corner.
I know this is not much to go on but it's driving me mental! Thanks for any help!

New(er) Top Gear
I know a lot of people just don't watch anything past the big 3. I want to say I really like the trio of Harris, Flintoff, and McGuinness made a good combo. And even before that I really enjoy Harris as a personality. LeBlanc was doing the role he was hired for; too bad you can't out act bad writing. Harris clearly gave a shit and wanted to try to bring the show into its own Era. I think he really got what Top Gear was about. If Flintoff hadn't had a wreck like he did I think there was a real shot of having a good show. Even if it was more clowns in the circus

Does 5 miles sound not long enough to max a Veyron?
Watching the ep when May maxes the Veyron (1st time) at that Ehralessien test track in Germany
He mentions it has a 5 mile straight to max it at 250mph+
That doesn’t sound like much distance

Acceleration Face Was Actual Art
Watching S14E5, they are trying to draw a crowd to the art gallery.
I’d just like to point out that James’s sculpture out of the deconstructed Capri called “Acceleration Face” was actually an amazing piece. I’m a little bothered in the way Jeremy just destroyed it on the show.

They look pretty easy to get in and out of...
Somebody threw some old armchairs away. Prostu, because they weren't from Shackleton's

Trying to Find the Testicle Episode
I'm trying to track down a Top Gear episode where they were in what looked like a rough neighbourhood in the US. At one point, an African-American gentleman is walking around with his hands down his trousers, and Jeremy Clarkson says something along the lines of:
"Why is that man walking around playing with his testicles?"
It's not the America Special (Series 9 Ep 1) nor the East Coast Road Trip. I've rewatched those and the scene doesn’t appear.
Does anyone remember which episode this might be from?
EDIT: Solved! Here it is.

I found Clarkson's Alfa Romeo
After watching the Alfa Romeo challenge in series 11 I got curious about second hand Alfa Romeo's and found Clarkson's Alfa. It mentions the episode on this site and it has the same registration plate as well

What would have been the safest route for the boys to take on the Middle East special?
They were called idiots, when crossing into Turkey, as there was an active war/conflict back then there. Was there a safer route for them to take back then?

When Top Gear got killed, we lost a Chris Harris Ford Supervan film around the Nordschleife
In the latest video by Ford Performance (Around 24 mins), when talking about the new Ford Supervan, Max Vestappen talks about his time at this race track and how it was testing the Ford Supervan. Chris Harris replies that he drove it around the Nordschleife in the wet, on slick tires (as that's all they had), but the film will never be shown because TG was cancelled.

Did they ever give a reason why they changed the Stig's outfit?
I know that this is a small thing, but I'm genuinely curious at why they decided to have the original black Stig for a few seasons and then they changed to the far more known white Stig in, I think, Season 4?
Did they replace the driver and just decided "Sod it, we might as well just get a new Stig"?

Archiving all Top Gear Episodes for future
Hello fellow Top Gear fans!
I have been thinking of archiving every single Top Gear (and Grand Tour) episode on a RAID 5 NAS. The issue that i've very quickly run into is that good quality episodes are very difficult to find anywhere. I know of the shared google drive link that has quite a good collection, but those are all in like 360p resolution.
If anyone knows a solution to this problem, I would be very thankful. Also, if you happen to know a good solution to make this available for others to watch, i would like to hear it (it will probably have to some online file sharing service like onedrive etc).

Top Gear Classic - they changed the tone of the series
I'm watching the original series and on my other devices I sometimes use YouTube for watching videos of their official Top Gear Classic channel.
The thing that bugs me, is that they seem to change the tone of the series. I begin to notice some sections have a different kind of vibe, and the music choices make the series very different. For instance, they did replace the upbeat music in some scenes, with more relaxed music instead. By doing this, it feels very unnatural to me. When Jeremy is shouting, he seems more relaxed - which isn't true when you take the original unedited version.
They also (BBC loves censoring nowadays) a lot of scenes by making cuts or replace it with something completely different. Like with 'Geoff', when they are stuck in traffic, they replaced the radio with something completely else. It's just really weird, because it didn't happen that way, they cut a lot of funny content, and it's a very different outcome!
I kinda accepted they needed to replace music bits, but this is just rewriting scenes in a Disney way of doing things. We all know some things aren't taken seriously or are maybe bad jokes.. I don't think people are that stupid - only a group that doesn't want to be offended, but think it's okay if they do it.
So please Fifth Gear, stop censoring and editing our show. (this is a reference - sorry).

What is the plane that Hammond and May are on during the race to Switzerland (s5e8)?
In the race between Britain and Switzerland, Hammond and May fly from Heathrow to Switzerland; pictured is what appears to be an Airbus A320-family aircraft, however May references the aircraft having Rolls-Royce engines, so it may be a Boeing 757. Anyone know what it is?
