To be honest, I didn’t know that, I just had to look it up. It started in 1977, was planned to be canceled in 2001, and Clarkson proposed a relaunch which happened in 2002. Ok, that’s pretty cool. What was the original show like?

Right? I just don’t get where the need to attack these types of shows before they even launch is stemming from. We’re a car loving community that is constantly talking about the lack of good car shows, yet the moment anyone tries to make one (or in this case, restart one) we lash out claim we won’t even watch the show…

Where can I find this shirt? It went from “want” to “NEED” in about 1.9 seconds.

Exactly! I’m not sure why everyone seems so worried about this. The new Top Gear will NOT be the old Top Gear, and that is totally ok. Let the new hosts feel it out for the first season, and inevitably make something great out of it. I for one can’t wait to see Leblanc in this new role, he’s going to be amazing! All…

I’m still salty about it.

That is a funky new font! Thanks for adding the pic.

Zero respect, you can only do things the way I do them otherwise it’s pointless. Then again who cares, I’m just pissy because I can’t buy one of these beautiful toys. There is no substitute for the superiority complex you develop when all you have in life is wrenching and sadness.

Right there with you!

If the owner of that thing (I mean it with the utmost affection) isn’t a Jalop then I don’t know who is.

Well I’ve tried to look up the plate by any qausi legal way I can think of, but so far no dice.

This is a true Jalopnik mystery, I can’t find it anywhere either. The closes thing I can find isn’t actually a hack job, but a VW variant. The VW Type 825.

You’re doing Gods work my friend. I’ll start digging too. This is basically my dream ranch truck now. And all this time I thought I wanted a Jeep truck for around the property, HA!

Where does the engine go?!

What is this? I NEED it.

TIL I agree with Mr. Perry, because I LOVE YOUR DADS CAR AT COTA! More pics please!

You can’t say it wouldn’t look amazing on any car!

We never leave the greys anyways. Might as well call it what it is: an arabic transformer car burka.

Dude, that is so cool. Talk about a dream garage made to reality!
