    I got a lot enjoyment watching those knuckleheads have a swan song after Top Gear, the Mongolian Special in particular was a high watermark. Still sad to see the era finally end

    The end of an era. The Grand Tour never quite captured the magic of the old Top Gear series when it was hosted by these three. That was some of the best television of all time.

    I love the grand tour, but especially in the last few specials you can tell they’re getting pretty old to be doing the kind of traveling and shenanigans that is expected of them. With clarksons farm, our man in x and the few youtube channels they have I’m ready for them to move on and embrace new avenues of creativity.

      As fun as they are to watch, I would fully support them retiring if they wanted. I imagine retirement for them just means doing whatever little side projects they think will be fun.

        Oddly I liked their normal track and news segments talking about all different types of cars and then handing them over to Abby/Stig to test. It seemed everyone else wanted them in an exotic locale doing stupid things.

    Jeremy Clarkson is a racist, abusive piece of shit. It infuriates me how much Reddit and Lemmy circle jerk about that vile old bastard. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s another Savile. He’s a disgusting human and I refuse to watch anything with him in it
