  • @benllewelyn98
    Love the video but please don't work with better help, they're known for selling people's information and a lot of the "therapists" not being qualified and can actually negatively impact your mental health as they don't know what they're doing
  • @deepsouthwrx
    Sad to see Drivetribe pushing BetterHelp.. what a corrupt and consumer hostile company.
  • @thiago4santos
    "will it start?" He asked that about a Toyota hilux.
  • @AthanImmortal
    I love that this truck is still around :D The Polar challenge was one of the seminal moments for Top Gear. They had many, but that was truly memorable.
  • @ElderlyAnteater
    Mate, your sentiment is always in the right place but you really shouldn't be taking Betterhelp sponsorships. Vet your sponsors better - the company has been caught using questionably licenced "therapists" and using sensitive user data (about health issues) for advertising.

    David Beckham Soccer is now probably the only confirmed video game to have been to magnetic north. Make of this what you will
  • @danchen8647
    ā€œBut they got long memoriesā€ ā€œWhat? The polar bears?ā€ Classic top gear humor šŸ˜‚
  • @richardnherron
    I have to say I am livid at the thought that the BBC have censored the episode on iPlayer with the Gin & Tonic bit. It was upheld as a non issue at the time so what is the sense in censoring it now. What exactly is the point in a TV Licence for a public service that isn't serving the public?
  • @agamemnom
    Mike did you really just ask 'will it start' of a Toyota Hilux šŸ˜‚ did you not watch top gear blow up a building with a Hilux on top of it to then start it amongst other beatings šŸ˜‚
  • @paddyrobbo1683
    Ironic Izzy Hammond gets to drive it when Hammond never drove it in the special
  • @digiscream
    The funniest bit about the ice drop is that Clarkson started with "How dare you..." and the guy just shouted him down. The first time he's ever actually shut up :D
  • @danwhite3224
    I hope that all of the cars in the upcoming final Grand Tour episode are recovered. It'll be the end of a very long era and they'll be an important piece of motoring history!
  • @kineuhansen8629
    man the trip to north pole was one of my favorite specials great to see the hilux still be arround
  • Car guy from across the pond- look at these huge (38 x 15.5 x 15) tires, Iā€™ve never seen a tire so huge with so much sidewall. American- hold my beer, going to my garage, Iā€™ll be right back.
  • @phant0
    NGL, I agree with Jeremy about the shotgun part. Maybe you can give the polar bear one, MAYBE two warning shots. But if that doesn't deter it, I wouldn't expect two more to make any difference, other than leave you with only 1 round to hit an angry moving target exactly at the right spot.
  • @geepeerces
    Jet fuel is just diesel/kerosene thats been extra refined and purified. Jet A1 is for cold temps, Jet A is the more common standard fuel.
  • The Polar Special was the first episode I watched. Showed up on Youtube in 480p heavily artifacted in like 6 parts. Watched them all. Went and found the rest. Have watched TG now like 5 times all the way through.
  • @richmcdowell
    "DON'T JUST STAND THERE! DROP THE POLES!! HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD! HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD! HANDS. ABOVE. YOUR HEAD! NOW ROLL IN THE SNOW! ROLL IN THE SNOW! ROLL. IN. THE. SNOW!!" Epic! šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
