Exploring the island that Jeremy Clarkson once called home!
Рет қаралды 360,995
Жыл бұрынThe Isle of Man is steeped in Top Gear history, especially considering Jeremy Clarkson used to own a place on the island. But did you know it also has a lot to offer on top of just the unrestricted TT roads? Mike Fernie takes the DriveTribe M5 Touring for a spin around the island to explore this petrolhead paradise.

The Isle of Man is one of my absolute favourite places on the planet! A gorgeous island with so much history and beautiful roads. And I also find it awesome that you ended up using a BMW for this tour, as both the times that Top Gear did films there, they featured BMWs - first the M3 CSL, E30 M3, E34 M5, M1 and Z4 and the second time the E63 M6 (vs the 997 and V8 Vantage). Both of those episodes are among my favourite TG episodes.
