    Well for an hr on sundays 25ish times a year at least.. There were probably 10-15 really great TG series. First few were ok as they found their feet.. by season 17 - 18 ish it had run it's course.. everything so much more forced and heavily scripted scenarios. V like the current amazon version.

    Top Gear ended with series 22 in June 2015. But this year will mark the end of another era: The Grand Tour with its very last two episodes. I hope our three blokes will come up with something in the future. Doesn't matter what. I'd even watch them knitting together for an hour.

    If they would appear on DriveTribe once or twice a year with a new incarnation of converstation street (the news), i'd be very happy. If they could do something more it woulde be absolutely fantastic. I do obviously understand the fact that they are getting older (especially Clarkson and May) and want to slow down a bit, but if the ending of The Grand Tour means we'll never see the trio again it will be a sad ending to an era.

    Listening to Richard talk about his father brought up some nice memories I had with my father as a child. When I was about 7 or 8 years old, coming home from church on Sunday he'd let me "drive" home. I'd sit on his lap and steer all the way home through the city and country roads. In fact I don't remember a time in my life when I wasn't interested in cars before or after that. RIP Dad. And thanks for sharing Richard.

    Top Gear ended when the dynamic trio left. My husband and I raised our daughters, 27, 22 and 20, watching these three. And we are so proud that our girls have developed a love of cars. This past Christmas our daughters got tools as gifts and loved it! They all attribute their desire to understand what's under the hood (bonnet) from watching you guys. They never once felt like they couldn't do anything when it came to working on their own cars. Thanks for helping us open our girls eyes to their own potential. You've been part of our family for the past few decades. (We still want to support Hammonds new endeavor. I hate that we can't watch his latest show. Please open it up to the us!)

Personally i have always found Jeremy to offer a father figure role to millions of kids and the shows ability to touch on real emotions is just not something anyone expected from a car show i will miss the show dearly but thankfully samsung tv plus offers TG on constant repeat 24 hours a day so they will never be to far away thankyou for the years of hard work, laughs, tears near death experiences and all round amazing content❤❤❤

    The Grand Tour is basically at its end too and I would love to see one more Grand Tour/Top Gear final farewell. The team gets their favourite cars and without any shenanigans or setups just jump in and drive to their favourite places and favourite roads. 3x 1.5-2hr episodes where each one gets a turn leading the way to their favourite spots anywhere in the world and just having fun with their normal banter while reminiscing about their favourite times on the show over the years. Top Gear is an iconic TV show that became The Grand Tour, the name changed but the spirit of it never did. The guys and what they created deserve a truly great final send off and the fans would love for it to happen.

    Top gear was never just a show about cars. It was a show about 3 friends who loved cars and share that love with the rest of the world. Unfortunately, when the three friends leave the show, the relationship they built with the audience left with them. It was never the same again regardless of who else took their place. Its hard to replace The Baboon, The American and Captain Slowly. It was just a matter of time before the show had to be put out of its misery. Long live the three Amigos!

    The later hosts were akin to a cover band. They might be playing the same songs but it's not the same thing and everyone knows it. Just as music's about the artist, that also applied to Top Gear an it was never going to be comparable with new hosts. If one had left of their own accord then it might've worked if they'd found a suitable replacement but not with all three going at once. That was it, game over.

    Nice interview, super excited for the roadtrip to seaside towns in Scotland. I sorta wish you'd have shown a picture of the cars they were talking about at the end of the video. I'm not a super car buff that can remember every car off the top of my head and it would have been neat to see the cars they were talking about that they think are going to be very popular in the future.

    I have rewatched Top Gear more times than I can count. It is my comfort show. What I'd love to see is a sit down with Richard, or Richard and James, and they go over a list of their all time favorite Top Gear/Gran Tour episodes. Maybe also a list of their least favorite. Could make a series out of it. Heck, discussing the their favorite places they have visited on the shows, ending with them choosing their favorite. The talk about 90's cars entering classic hit me in the feels a bit hard, in 99 I was a Junior/Senior in highschool. My parents still have the 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix at the house, with a lovely 3.8 liter V6, that still has the get up an go. Like you hit that pedal, and it was like ok, and shot off. Was the first year of the wide track for the Grand Prix's. I feel some of those late 90's early 2000 Pontiac's are going to be collectables as Pontiac is no more.

    When I was in high school in Japan, I watched lots of Top Gear episodes with the legendary trio on KZread. It was one of the ways to learn English, but I also learned to love cars. Throttle House from Canada has similar energy as the old Top Gear and I go for that nowadays, but I still genuinely adore the show that Hammond, Clarkson and May have created in the past.

    No one will ever really replace you three. I've watched the show since I was a kid and I have my own now and I thought sand job was the last one. So I honestly had a box of tissues with me and I was savoring every second of it. I feel like the boys are friends of my own, like they've took me all over the world. You guys had the ultimate adventurers job and id give anything to see a bit of that for my self. You boys are legends and worth my time Everytime.

    Weston is a great place, but if you head to the other side of Brean Head, there is an access ramp that allows to the beach. We’ve been there at low water, had a BBQ and ice cream and a fantastic day. Great road trip / day out.

    I was at the perfect age for top gear. We fell in love with the show in high school and it carried through college. We would watch the show and work on our own cars together. They had their trio and we had our group of enthusiasts. It was more than a show to me. It was an extension of our lifestyle that we could live vicariously through. Like one of your favorite bands. And they are still together jamming. Call it what you want. Theyre still friends exploring the planet. Its a beautiful thing.

    I’ve only seen one or two XK8’s in the wild. That being said I was in a stopped traffic lane and it pulled into the fast lane and made this wonderful snarling sound as it briskly accelerated past my open window. I think that one in particular was an XKR but the exhaust note and the Jaguar badge seemed very appropriate. 😀

    Richard, James, Jeremy, Top Gear was my childhood and teen years, at one point when I was working on the engine of a Porche 944 Turbo during senior year autoshop, had a phone up in the background with the Bolivia Top Gear special, because of these three and motorsports are the reason why I'm interested in cars.

    Hi. We love it when you do an interview and Q&A session with Richard, as his reflections are always insightful. On the question of interesting places to visit, have you considered the north east coast? We live in Saltburn-by-the -Sea which is a very old and quirky victorian seaside town north of Whitby (where Richards face still adorns the side of "Mr Chips" fish and chip shop)! The surrounding area for Saltburn is full of beautiful places for potentially interesting camera shots. Saltburn also holds its own car show each year around June which attracts quite a bit of a following, if that would be of interest? Either way, if its somewhere you would be interested in, drop me a line and I will be happy to give you some help. Please keep up the great content. 😊

    If you could go anywhere for a road trip I'd recommend going on the Targa Tasmania route, I know it's a long way from anywhere but some of the roads and scenery are just epic. I reckon if you got in touch with Tourism Tasmania they would even pay you to do it, it would be a great promotion for them.
