Awesome. Love that it's coming out soon too, unlike the last special that took forever since their editor/producer was recovering from Covid.

Just finished the last ever episode of "The Grand Tour" featuring Clarkson, Hammond, and May. I've watched every last episode of Top Gear (with the three of them) and the entirety of The Grand Tour. I've watched their specials a bunch of times over.
Hell, I even got my wife watching the show and despite not really liking cars... she loved their relationship and banter. She even developed a crush on James May. Who could blame her? It may be dumb or silly because I don't know them and they don't know I even exist... but it feels like saying goodbye to 3 friends. https://i.imgur.com/KC0hZe4.png |

Agreed! I rewatched their Top Gear Botswana Special immediately after watching this finale.

I also can relate to Clarkson’s comment about one of the reasons why he’s walking away… he hates EV’s and recognizes that it’s where his profession is headed. He likened them to kitchen appliances.
I could never see myself owning an EV. From a performance perspective with full torque at 1RPM, I get it. But the growl of an ICE engine just evokes simpler times. Better times. And I’ve dropped tens of thousands of dollars and hours of sweat modifying my cars to make them faster. That’s passion. I don’t know how it’d get that with EV’s. |

EV sucks. The range and time to recharge is going to keep it from being a mainstream form of transportation. Not to mention the cost of replacing the batteries. People want to talk about no maintenance but you still have tires to replace and while the average annual cost for repairs of an ICE vehicle is like $500, it costs like $12k to replace the batteries in an EV and thats going to be every 10 years or so. |

Still gonna prefer Top Gun. I absolutely understand where he's coming from. The EV is a natural evolution. It will eventually evolve to the point that it's simply the better option than the ICE. Or something else will come along like a hydrogen cell or whatever. They'll be better than this thing we invented 100 years ago. But I'm going to prefer my snarly old gas guzzlers with their thunder and flash. That said, I think he's being a little melodramatic. The ICE is going to outlive Clarkson. And their best episodes weren't because they were out there with the newest wiz-bang supercar. They were usually in old clunkers they were limping through some insane series of tests. They'd be able to do that for another 20 years if they wanted to. It's fine to just say "Hey, I'm old and fat, we're running out of ideas and we have other things we enjoy doing with the piles of money we've accumulated over the years..." And why wouldn't they? I mean man, if you have the kind of life those 3 all have, why would you ever go out there strapping yourself into a Vampire dragster again? May 'bout brained himself falling off a camel. Clarkson ****ed his back/neck up a couple times. Just...why? You don't owe anyone an explanation, fellas - we all know whats up. We'll see ya in the reruns, guys. It's been fun. |
