Cant believe this use to be TopGear

I found an interesting Video. Can you imagine this is how Top Gear use to be!?!?! Thank god for May, Hammond and Clarkson. The other interesting thing is the gear box for the Mondial. It is s clutchless manual BUT you still get the Ferrari shifting gate which is something I have never seen which is pretty cool. It usually just up and down. Enjoy!

Yeah, I have every episode. The first few seasons are quite dull (in comparison to what it's like now). I think bringing James May in was a great call! Hooray Captain Slow!
