Old Top Gear - October 1999
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Vintage episode of Top Gear from circa October 1999, with an insight into Car Supermarkets like Motorpoint at the time when they were the new thing. Also a feature on new car technology and advice on purchasing a first car. Presented by Quentin Willson and Kate Humble.

It’s crazy watching them talking about all of this tech, which is now standard these days. They were wrong about self driving cars though 😂

Completely agree. And also when motoring programmes where actually about the cars and not about the presenters. Now TV motoring programmes both on TV and on various KZread channels are more focused on the likes of Clarkson, Hammond, May and that Wheeler Dealers really tall grey fuzzy haired Edd China where it's just the usual 2002 Top Gear era style of childish babble and talking about why Edd China decided to leave or why Clarkson made some stupid remark and became controversial and all the irrelevant rubbish. These motoring presenters are idolised for some strange reason. Why are people so obsessed with Jeremy Clarkson, James May, Richard Hammond and Edd China for?. Noone was bothered about Quentin Willson, Tony Mason, Steve Berry, William Woollard or Chris Goffey where they?.

Kate Humble says "you would have thought she was off her face" in a silver Corvette. Big up the 90's (only the 911 and possibly that M3 coupe have faired well).
Kate Humble is driving me crazy!
It's amazing that some of the features in 1999 is still only appearing in some cars in recent years, except the top of the range models which have some of those features since the 90's.

The first car guide in this video, although a little outdated is still very useful for getting one to this day. Got a little rough around the edges 09 Fiesta for 1400 quid after a bit of haggling down from 1600. After spending up to their original asking price, it's got everything up to scratch and then with insurance it's just a smide over 2k
Clarkson, Needell, Willson, and Butler-Henderson were the best incarnation of Fifth Gear.
Pretty much spot on the predictions

I've never understood why people are so obsessed with him and other motoring "icons" like James May, Clarkson and Mike Brewer for. There's a video that has 11m views about China leaving Wheeler Dealers. What's the deal with that dude I don't get it. They have become idolised.
I wonder what it would’ve been like if Kate Humble had stayed on - no Richard Hammond. Clarkson, May, Humble? It might’ve worked!

Why haven't reversing cameras really taken off in the UK? Given the smaller car parks and generally tighter spaces, I would have thought they would have trickled down to all cars by now. I certainly could have used one in the little Hyundai I hired when I was there this past January (pre-Coronavirus)... In the US, these cameras have been mandated in all cars for a few years and I think they are a truly a useful safety and convenience device.
@aidan1585

1. They are expensive for a small cheap car 2. People like parking sensors more because in the UK people look at their mirrors more (and thats safer) and parking sensors tell you exactly how far you are away from hitting something. 3. In a car where they are no infotainment screen they cannot put in a reversing camera.
@RoadCone411

Aidan Sheehan jr That’s fair. The Hyundai I hired didn’t even have parking sensors but then again it was an inexpensive, small car as you alluded to. It wasn’t bare bones, mind you, with otherwise typical Hyundai ‘luxuries’ like cruise control, air con and power windows all around. I think cameras are better than sensors and allow you to see what is behind the vehicle (children playing, for example) but of course you shouldn’t rely on that alone, as I am sure many people do.

BloomingOnion You can see a child playing in your rear view mirrors. People don’t like Toyotas that constantly beep and have no front or rear parking sensors and just a camera. So other company’s will keep a reversing camera and front and rear parking sensors.

Aidan Sheehan jr Every year, dozens of children in the US die because they are reversed over. In many cases, a camera showing directly behind the vehicle (especially in a SUV or hatchback) is ideal but I suppose beeping sensors help too. My car has both - blind spot and rear motion detection beeping as well as a camera. Now that I have them, I would always want both on any new car.
