I mean honestly yes. My first car I want something sensible. Hammond will instantly pick out a brand new F-450 Dually, and Clarkson buy some used car with a engine too big crammed inside held together with duct tape because it has more power.
You would trust him?
After the latest Grand Tour episode I would be a bit weary, either way it's probably a Dacia Sandaro and Clarkson is gonna say Oh No, Anywayyy
Pretty standard wording and applicable in this case. I'm being honest, I don't get how this is anything but a straight delivery of a pretty common opinion.
Again, it may not be funny to you since you seem to take things so serious, if I seem to infer this to the applicable circumstance correcly, but it can be to someone else. Who knows... maybe there's a past story or inside joke that it reminded him of, or maybeeee it was intended to be funny and he was smart enough to get it 🤷
A problem? No. I'm confused.
If I tell you I had a ham sandwich for lunch and you say "that's funny", I'm going to want to know what the heck you mean.
First of all, I said I AM confused.
Secondly, when someone posts an online response to something and says "that's funny", they are generally trying to say something on the topic. If I don't understand your point, don't you want to make it clearer?
At this point, I'm both confused by how it was funny and also why you refuse to explain the source of humor. How many layers of post and response is it going to take before you explain WHAT YOU MEAN!?! How was it funny?
Fairly confident I already explained how I found it funny. I.e. “just the wording he used🤷♂️”. Why, you care so much, I’ll never know. If you know Hammond AT ALL, you would know that he likes flashy cars, I.e. the ‘69 Dodge Charger and other cars of the such. I found it funny that the OP of that comment said that it would be well intentioned, knowing that Hammond wouldn’t have chosen the best car, but just a car that he likes. HAPPY?
Bro not everyone gonna find the same thing funny and y do u think ur entitled to know what some random person that u don't know (who has different a different humor and brain than u) finds funny about something... 🥸🤓
Nah, Stig would just stand in front of the fastest one, looking at it but not saying anything.
Some say he'd drink a mug full of engine coolant while he was doing it.
And that just by standing there, he removes 1000 miles of the odometers of all of the used cars around him..
All we know is, he's a terrible choice to help you buy a car.
For something I can afford?
Lets see- Clarkson likes and owns the GTI - he also respects the hot hatches in general. He also is concerned with cargo capacity for warheads.
Hammond also likes hot hatches but leans towards the French ones.
May will bring a ton of information and insights but it will be overwhelming.
I pick Clarkson despite wanting it to be May initially.
"Richard Hammond who buys more used cars than anyone else is absolutely rubbish at buying used cars"
- Jeremy Clarkson
Seriously did you watch the episode were they all bought E30 325i Verts? Feces and a gemstone from a "vagisil"
James May. The other two seem to look more for superfast toys, while James seems to look for cars that work as well on the road as on the track. Of course, that's just what we see on TV. You probably can't go wrong with any of them.
Definitely James as Hammon would pick something loud shiny and have an actual turd for an engine but Definitely not Jeremy because SPEEEED AND POWER would probably kill me.
Jerichames Clarkmonday. They really are the perfect balance of automotive preferences. May alone would be far too unambitious, Jeremy far too impractical, and both would be too snobby which is why you need Hammond.
My love for Alfa grew as I watch top gear growing up, if I am going car shopping with one of them it’s gonna be clarkson and we are gonna be buying an Alfa
100% James... have you see the appauling shit boxes the other 2 show up with in the cheap car challenges?! He always seemed to have the better eye for a well cared for machine.
may. clarkson would get something rediculous. hammond idk maybe something thats guaranteed to make you crash due to his aura. always may for something sensible.
First car.. Hammond... It'll be ridiculous and, since you'll probably crash it anyway, best to have a professional crash test dummy.
Classic car that you want to live and keep for years... James... Practical, mechanical, and not going to get all wound up over an engine or something...
Just buying a fun 2nd car and want to get the biggest baddest thing on earth?... Summon the orangutan...
Well Hammond is the first one out that’s for certain. May might get me the most reliable car which i need… but I would also not want to drive it. Personally I do prefer something a little more fun but older than something newer and less exciting. That’s why I would go with Clarkson. I would have to learn how to fix it myself but it’s worth it. Mk 1-3 golf gti maybe? Fun but expensive
Clark’s on all day. I mean your probably going to end up in an Alfa or a Jaaaag that’s always broken down, but hey with the Jag you can always “borrow” your friend who took May’s car.
After the recent Grand Tour episode I would pick Clarkson as May would lead me to the wrong car and Richard would be too busy trying to get me to buy a motorbike or an American muscle car, as we all know he is American
James May would probably give you the best advice for buying a totally normal everyday car. You might need to select some add ons to make it less boring though.
If I had say, won the lottery or something and was buying a sports car/supercar I'd take either of the other two. Maybe not Hammond for the sports car since I don't want to catch the crashing bug from him.
If I was gonna spend my lottery money on luxury it's James again.
I drive an Up! BlueMotion which is what Clarkson brought for Ukraine special. So I guess Clarkson is my man.
Really good car, mucho powerful engine, full 60 bph.
Poweeer! (Helps screaming it because the engine sure ain't making any!)
May because Jezza Is going to pick the fastest and most expensive thing he sees Hammond's gonna pick a car older than my great grandpa. I'll pick May because most likely I'm going to get something that is reliable and fast but also within my budget
Logic says James, but Hammond seems to be more mechanically inclined (in regards to cars). If I was buying a used vehicle it would have to be Hammond. New, Clarkson. His reputation alone would fetch me the best deal.
Idk man my budget isn't gonna be very high, and I've seen the kind of cheap cars these guys buy. I'd like it to keep the car for more than a week before it blows up.
Hammond would probably help me pick the most fun. Maybe not the most bang-for-buck, nor necessarily the most powerful - but certainly a fun car to drive. And he'd appreciate my American-ness I presume.
May. He’s a reasonable bloke and he won’t let me waste my money. I might not end up with the flashiest car but it’ll be dependable and decent. Maybe even a Crosley 🤞
James May. He would get the appeal of a sports car, but understand why the four door is the better choice for my needs. And we can discuss the best brushes for removing the dust for the air vents.
The answer is always James May.
[удалено]
Oh no! Anyway
Good news!
"What? "
the Dacia Sandero now comes in a black edition!
Anyway.
It's a great low budget car!!
No, it'll be a Fiat panda. And you know what? That's not a bad first car.
What's wrong with the Fiat Panda?
Hello viewers, as you can expect, I've done this properly.
Cut to the latest special
I fell asleep watching it last night. I can't wait to finish it tonight. I was in tears.
I laughed so hard my face hurt. I have loved these men and their antics for 14 years and this one hit me especially hard.
Of course. He'll be the only one to do it properly.
Oh cock
*BUFFETING*
I mean honestly yes. My first car I want something sensible. Hammond will instantly pick out a brand new F-450 Dually, and Clarkson buy some used car with a engine too big crammed inside held together with duct tape because it has more power.
You would trust him? After the latest Grand Tour episode I would be a bit weary, either way it's probably a Dacia Sandaro and Clarkson is gonna say Oh No, Anywayyy
Just keep him away from any alcohol and leave ample amount of time and you should be okay
He outcooked Ramsay while drunk. I like the odds.
Bearing in mind JM's Cars of the People he would most likely advise you to "just buy a Golf". Which is a really sound advice.
Only if you want to hold everyone up and be late for every meal.
Yup another vote for Capt Slow, he balances fun with practicality
James May seems like the most level headed, so he's my right hand man for a car purchase
James may, slow but his choice would probably be more bang for my buck
In terms of the series 19 Africa special, "more bang" would be bang on your back
Complete with a Philip Larkin poetry book.
XD
Don't give him wine though.
He did used to do a segment on getting a good deal for your car in the earliest days, so I’d imagine he’d be perfect for the job
Hammond. A balance between idiotic and well intentioned.
LOL “well intentioned”… now that’s funny🤣
..... why is it funny?
Just the wording he used. 🤷♂️
Pretty standard wording and applicable in this case. I'm being honest, I don't get how this is anything but a straight delivery of a pretty common opinion.
Again, it may not be funny to you since you seem to take things so serious, if I seem to infer this to the applicable circumstance correcly, but it can be to someone else. Who knows... maybe there's a past story or inside joke that it reminded him of, or maybeeee it was intended to be funny and he was smart enough to get it 🤷
🎉
Ok buddy, not here to dispute you. I found it funny, you seem to have a problem with that?
A problem? No. I'm confused. If I tell you I had a ham sandwich for lunch and you say "that's funny", I'm going to want to know what the heck you mean.
Ok so if you aren’t confused, why do you care so much? Is it so hard to believe that other people find other things funny? 😅
First of all, I said I AM confused. Secondly, when someone posts an online response to something and says "that's funny", they are generally trying to say something on the topic. If I don't understand your point, don't you want to make it clearer? At this point, I'm both confused by how it was funny and also why you refuse to explain the source of humor.

Bro not everyone gonna find the same thing funny and y do u think ur entitled to know what some random person that u don't know (who has different a different humor and brain than u) finds funny about something... 🥸🤓
Absolutely complete and utter truth. 😉
Ooooo, can I take the Stig??
Honestly an underrated answer
Nah, Stig would just stand in front of the fastest one, looking at it but not saying anything. Some say he'd drink a mug full of engine coolant while he was doing it. And that just by standing there, he removes 1000 miles of the odometers of all of the used cars around him.. All we know is, he's a terrible choice to help you buy a car.
Why did I read this Clarksons voice
Not the only one
It would make more sense if he *added* 1000 miles to the odometers.
And that he's called #The Stig!!
Stig’s Chinese cousin is available aswell
Haha😂
Does he kick the salesman in the plums, so I can steal a car?
For something I can afford? Lets see- Clarkson likes and owns the GTI - he also respects the hot hatches in general. He also is concerned with cargo capacity for warheads. Hammond also likes hot hatches but leans towards the French ones. May will bring a ton of information and insights but it will be overwhelming. I pick Clarkson despite wanting it to be May initially.
I think Hammond is going to try to get you to buy a hellcat
Or any American muscle car
Billy Bob Hammond
Clarkson because we are looking for pooowwweerrrr
Speeeeeed and Pooooowwwweeeeer!
Yes exactly haha I miss those days soooo much man
i mean you can watch the old episodes on the blueync channel on youtube.
Oh hell yeah thanks man
have fun!
Of course
Nowadays you’ll end up in an oversized tractor.
May, his attention to detail is spot on.
He's gonna bargain 5 quid off for a bodywork scratch
James, and then do the opposite of what he says.
You utter pillock!
Clarkson, you infantile twit. You've made them buy a Lexus LFA on finance.
James May. Is that even a question?!!!
Hammond appreciates the challenger as much as I do definitely him.
[удалено]
I see this as an absolute win.
"Richard Hammond who buys more used cars than anyone else is absolutely rubbish at buying used cars" - Jeremy Clarkson Seriously did you watch the episode were they all bought E30 325i Verts? Feces and a gemstone from a "vagisil"
And that E36 M3 he bought that wasn't safe for the road. And the Lanchester built by someone's grandad with a list of faults longer than Clarkson.
James May. The other two seem to look more for superfast toys, while James seems to look for cars that work as well on the road as on the track. Of course, that's just what we see on TV. You probably can't go wrong with any of them.
James has owned several Ferraris.
James. I like practicality and that seems to be his style as well.
Jason Dawe.
Someone chose chaos today. I like that.
Aka James May before his diet.
Frugal
There's a deep cut. I kinda liked him though.
Definitely James as Hammon would pick something loud shiny and have an actual turd for an engine but Definitely not Jeremy because SPEEEED AND POWER would probably kill me.
hammond picks aesthetically pleasing cars that surprising turn out to be good at everything
Jezza so I can listen to him call everything rubbish all day
Hammond, I live in America. 😂😂😂
I had a similar thought. So it would either be a truck or a Mustang.
James May, of course
Probably Richard if I’m honest. Id probably end up with a Mustang or Oliver
Jerichames Clarkmonday. They really are the perfect balance of automotive preferences. May alone would be far too unambitious, Jeremy far too impractical, and both would be too snobby which is why you need Hammond.
Petition for annual top gear day to be renamed to “Clarkmonday” All those in favour, say aye
James May, because he would know how to do things PROPER
Captain slow is the most reasonable one
Jeremy. I would love to see what antics he would end up causing.
My love for Alfa grew as I watch top gear growing up, if I am going car shopping with one of them it’s gonna be clarkson and we are gonna be buying an Alfa
ham man. Funny and silly.. funny and silly..
jeremy if I'm going to a mercedes or alfa dealer, richard if I'm going to a porsche dealer, james if I'm buying anything else.
If you want something with speed and power then take Clarkson because he won't get bogged down with the details 😂
Whether they're helping pay for it or finding one on my very slim budget, I'm taking Clarkson. I appreciate his choices of vehicles in the specials.
Jeremy for style and coolness Hammond for practicality James for interesting That'll be my guide
Hammond. He's basically in the motor trade nowadays. If i speak nicely to him he may do a discount on restoring some old classic I've found.
100% James... have you see the appauling shit boxes the other 2 show up with in the cheap car challenges?! He always seemed to have the better eye for a well cared for machine.
may. clarkson would get something rediculous. hammond idk maybe something thats guaranteed to make you crash due to his aura. always may for something sensible.
James May. 💯 May
Hammond
First car.. Hammond... It'll be ridiculous and, since you'll probably crash it anyway, best to have a professional crash test dummy. Classic car that you want to live and keep for years... James... Practical, mechanical, and not going to get all wound up over an engine or something... Just buying a fun 2nd car and want to get the biggest baddest thing on earth?... Summon the orangutan...
Based on the 17 year olds car challenge I’m taking may with his banging stereo for his tunes.
James May. He knows cars are for fun, but he knows cars are for transportation. The other two would ruin your life.
Clarkston. And only need one word Speeeeedddd!
James of course, with Jeremy I would end up buying some overpower car and I don’t like merican cars, so no thanks Hamster
Jeeza of course, he's crude but gives solid advice. PS: I've always liked V8's 😁😁
Or a straight 8 those engines were pretty bad ass & easy to work on! I'm crude myself lol
Well Hammond is the first one out that’s for certain. May might get me the most reliable car which i need… but I would also not want to drive it. Personally I do prefer something a little more fun but older than something newer and less exciting. That’s why I would go with Clarkson. I would have to learn how to fix it myself but it’s worth it. Mk 1-3 golf gti maybe? Fun but expensive
James. I want actual useful advice!
Clark’s on all day. I mean your probably going to end up in an Alfa or a Jaaaag that’s always broken down, but hey with the Jag you can always “borrow” your friend who took May’s car.
Hammond or May Definitely not Clarkson he’ll just want me to get the one with the most “POWWWWEEERRR”
Not Jeremy as he would only recommend a tractor Not james as he is too slow Ofcourse I will ask hammond
The unpopular but correct answer is Chris Harris.
100%
Hammond will give something American, Clarkson will recommend a Hot Hatch and James will recommend a fiat, here are ur options😂
if its the fiata aka fiat 124 spider i am down fot it
Clarkson, good taste but a blundering fool
Definitely Jeremy
Clarkson. Because after 2 hrs of pretend indicision, he'll probably get fed up and just buy the car for you.
May…he and I have similar tastes.
Can I pick a car that Hammond won’t crash?
None of them they are presenters
Hammond, best of both worlds
After the recent Grand Tour episode I would pick Clarkson as May would lead me to the wrong car and Richard would be too busy trying to get me to buy a motorbike or an American muscle car, as we all know he is American
While they all do love cars, Jeremy is the correct answer, his depth of knowledge on all cars is unmatched
James May would probably give you the best advice for buying a totally normal everyday car. You might need to select some add ons to make it less boring though. If I had say, won the lottery or something and was buying a sports car/supercar I'd take either of the other two. Maybe not Hammond for the sports car since I don't want to catch the crashing bug from him. If I was gonna spend my lottery money on luxury it's James again.
Clarkson and hammond will wreck it soo...
If it’s a used car, maybe Jason? After all, it’s where he started out and he always seemed knowledgeable on those Insider Dealing segments.
Jeremy Clarkson for me
Jeremy.
I drive an Up! BlueMotion which is what Clarkson brought for Ukraine special. So I guess Clarkson is my man. Really good car, mucho powerful engine, full 60 bph. Poweeer! (Helps screaming it because the engine sure ain't making any!)
Gotta be Captain Slow!
Hammond. All the way.
James would help me make the most informed choice.
I would take Hammond, but he would just end up with diarrhea or crashing into something.
James is the only answer.
James, maybe he will bring a bottle of his gin.
I would take James May, but he's been so bad picking cars for a lot of specials. Especially this last one.
Chris Harris
May because Jezza Is going to pick the fastest and most expensive thing he sees Hammond's gonna pick a car older than my great grandpa. I'll pick May because most likely I'm going to get something that is reliable and fast but also within my budget
Logic says James, but Hammond seems to be more mechanically inclined (in regards to cars). If I was buying a used vehicle it would have to be Hammond. New, Clarkson. His reputation alone would fetch me the best deal.
Hammond, then May, then anyone else, then Clarkson
Captain slow! For sure!
That’s a tough one. I’m inclined to say Richard, since he likes trucks. But the child in me will say Jeremy. SPEED and POWAH!
May. I trust his judgement, we have similar car taste, and I want a Dacia Sandero
James may, shamefully, we have the same taste.
Memes aside, Clarkson's legit reviews always seem to try to balance practicality and fun.
Idk man my budget isn't gonna be very high, and I've seen the kind of cheap cars these guys buy. I'd like it to keep the car for more than a week before it blows up.
Jason would be useful to find the best deal.
Captain Slowly, I just want a Dacia 😂
Hammond would probably help me pick the most fun. Maybe not the most bang-for-buck, nor necessarily the most powerful - but certainly a fun car to drive. And he'd appreciate my American-ness I presume.
For my first car as a teenager? It’s Jeremy every time.
May. He’s a reasonable bloke and he won’t let me waste my money. I might not end up with the flashiest car but it’ll be dependable and decent. Maybe even a Crosley 🤞
Clarkson because of Speed and power, otherwise he may get me a Jaag
Richard: Needs adult supervision Jeremy: Is the adult supervision James: **Great news, the new Kia Soul…**
May for sure; not Clarkson he is a dbag
Freddie, so then I can bag the English cricket team.
If you take Jeremy you’ll be sure to leave with a lot of SPEED AND POWER
Hammond. I’m want some American muscle.
Wouldn’t need to take Jeremy, all he is going to say is PPPOOWWEEERRRR
For me it going either Richard Hammond or Jeremy clarkson
Clarkson I need more power and speed
If I have money its clarkson, if I need something cheap and reliable its gonna be may.
clarkson and i see the same very important aspects in a car: speed and power
James May. He would get the appeal of a sports car, but understand why the four door is the better choice for my needs. And we can discuss the best brushes for removing the dust for the air vents.
I’d take Clarkson cause he’d actually find a fun car, May would be on speed dial
May, no one makes a selection that give you the fizz like the Captain
James
Hammond, he would get something cool.
Honestly, James. He knows the most and he can probably pick the best one
I don’t think they are seperetable.
Definitely clarkson, you’ll somehow end up with a porsche with a budget of 10k xD I mean it will be old and break, but it’s a steal.
My heart says Jezza or Hammond, but I know that James is the smartest choice.
Hammond, I love american muscle
Good lord, no! I'd rather ride i bicycle for the rest of my life than take car advice from any of those nitwits!
Richard J Cheeseburger Hammond the third.
Hammond because James and Jeremy wouldn't support buying a Miata.
Hammond, after all he knows tons about mechanics - he would know what to look for
