And now... sadly... the "ORIGINAL" is no more... which means, the "original Top Gear" now STINKS. Unbelievable ! I NEVER would have thought I'd be saying that about "Top Gear". I'm from the USA. The fact that "TOP GEAR"... hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond is no longer broadcast, is like losing good friends. It is a lousy feeling of EMPTINESS and BETRAYAL. This really makes me, and probably you too, as well... wonder what the hell is wrong with the BBC... as much as it does, angry and disgusted.

This is what I loved about Top Gear: spectacular cars, enthusiasm, races, sweat, some infos about cars and true emotions of the presenters, like Clarkson truly astonished when he reaches his target. You may complain about the fact that Top Gear will never be like this, but I think that the old presenters won't be either.

@@Snarl616 grand tour is what happens when Amazon threw too much money at them, gave them free reign, and they couldn't use a lot of the stuff from Top Gear. I think if they approached Grand Tour as three friends that wanted to share their love of cars, instead of three kids that just received a massive payday, it could have been even better than Top Gear. But as it stands, that Era of Top Gear was lightning in a bottle, and no other car related media is gonna come close for a while. Even Full Throttle, as great as it is, is still missing that sense of adventure that Top Gear had.

Clarkson saying "mornin" in a fake American accent is my new favorite thing.
I'm around the same age as these three. In the 70s you heard so much about the Bonneville Salt Flats. It's hard to explain to younger people but anyone interested in popular mechanics type stuff in the 70s was constantly reading about the BSF. That and the SR-71 Blackbird. I can still picture in my head the Life magazine photo shoots of the SR-71.

This is honestly one of the most perplexing places I've ever driven. When you first start out you feel the pull of the car and all that but you kind of adjust to it. Thing is there is just salt for *miles*. You have no frame of reference aside from your speedo for how fast you are moving. It's the most amazing thing.

At 0:34 in the video, by the way.
I think that this video shows just how good of friends they really are. They were truly happy for each other
The wholesomeness of this ending is amazing
5:05... I have never been on salt, but less air is for traction in sand and the "growing" concept is for drag racing. For top speed, traction becomes secondary as You are already rolling. Over inflating the tire buldges the tread surface at the center thus reducing the contact patch resulting in less friction which reduces rolling resistance.
Clarksons American voice at 0:41 is hilarious lol
I swear it’s the funniest thing when may goes full British and says “Clark son you infentile peloc you are tidying that up”
"Clarkson you infantile pillock!" Got me every time lol
I was at the 3 mile marker and heard them racing the mile. it was really neat watching the helicopter chase them.
0:26 James May: Clarkson, you _infantile _*_pillock._* *You're tidying that up.*
One of the most beautiful moments in Top Gear. The Salt Flats is truly something amazing!
What a stand out case of just hanging with the boys these three are. Nothing but love for the three of them.
I love how Clarkson was trying to pretend he didn't know what was going on either XD then tries to blame James James: "CLARKSON!" Jeremy: "What?" James; "I know it's you" Richard: "What are you doing?" Jeremy: "We're up to 40 miles per hour in the Bago, it's James! Come on! Richard: "I was asleep!" Jeremy: "Where's May?" James: "Oh pack it in! I'm on the throne! Clarkson it's not funny!"
It´s so nice seeing them all celebrate their success together. That happens very rarely.

When he reviewed the ZR1 on the track the year after this he said the car "refused to start [after four days]," and after watching the punishment it went through doing all those high speed runs in 90+ degree heat, I don't blame it letting go.
