Nice find! Didn't realize Top Gear was so vintage.

I have some of the late 80s, early 90s show from when they were circulating through various channels, and I remember their coverage of it. There's also a lot of British Rally Championship coverage with Subarus, Richard Burns and other familiar names. Good stuff.

Funny how TG used to be serious automotive journalism, now it's essentially goofing off (and way more entertaining).

Watch some old episodes of Clarkson, you can see him become less serious over the years.

They got the "manual button" function wrong....unless theirs was a "hold" button....but it from the dash display it looks to say "manual".

Funny how everyone gets that manual button function wrong.....

You know the millions of clips of TV shows, movies, commercials, etc that are on YouTube? Technically they're all illegal due to copyright violations.

How about upgrading the Touch to the version with "YouTube video-getter-backer" so I can see this clip! :(
