    It'd be from the old format Top Gear. Before Richard Hammond, Stig, etc all came on board. Most likely sometime from seasons 41-42

    edit: brandon beat me to it, but would prolly be 41-42 due to the copyright date in the video.

    That's from fifth gear, not top gear.

    Tiff used to be a part of Top Gear I believe, then was probably spurned by Jeremy and formed Fifth Gear with Vicki and the other guy. Tiff is a bit orgasmic in his reviews.

    Some people say its from fifth gear... its not... it does say Top Gear at the end of the video... but the only videos and info I can find on Top Gear are after its "Relaunch", which began in 2002. Even though Top Gear (before its Relaunch) has been filming videos since 1977. These versions of the show are referred to as "old top gear episodes".
