All this was just a single episode of Top Gear... No wonder why nobody could replace them...

Honestly, it's a miracle all three of them are still alive.

It was so sad and embarrassing when the creators of Top Gear thought people liked the show for the cars.

Jeremy just saying "Richard" with increased panic always gets me
To some extent I feel like the increased budget they got with Amazon took away some of the magic of the cheap car challenges and the diy customization
I feel like to some extent Amazon wrote them a blank checked and they cashed it. Well maybe not James with the Crosley and the antique river boat
But I missed the score board, the cheap car challenges, and the comparisons of cars with prices under £100k
Don't get me wrong Grand Tour is still pretty good and it's still obviously the three of them but I think for me they lost some of the "drama"/unknown the more DIY and cheap challenges were
Like even the one where they buy cars at auction and do the concourse competition felt more genuine than some of the more super car heavy episodes of TGT

James bought the crosley for 11k when he was drunk lmfao, cheap but not exactly high performance per dollar value

They were legally not allowed to do cheap car challenges. They lost that in the divorce with top gear. Some of their decisions were made with hands tied.

Still better than any youtuber

I told my kids yesterday the three of them could make a show about which sewing machine is best, and it would get millions of watches.

Jeremy would strap a V8 to his, James would be very good at it but take all day, and Richard's would crash.

If Jeremy had a 25 or 50hp engine instead of that massive 225 it would've been perfect lol.
Totally worth the chaos though!

It is the best design... just terribly flawed execution.
Eaglesgomoo@reddit
The only problem...Jeremy.

He said "oh for gods sake"
Why bleep out god?
Altho the thought of censoring god does sound pretty funny

They’re gonna try. And it’s going to look so forced and uncomfortable. It’s gonna be a revamped TG which failed.

Surely someone, somewhere has a better quality version of all the older shows.
TopCatCL@reddit (OP)
Dunno, have the old top gear in 480p, and tv try to upscale the show. It look pretty good but not in 4k.
Mclarenrob2@reddit
I have family who live very close to Rudyard lake! But they were busy that day.

The first scene is Williams F1 at the Austrian Grand Prix
Pulszin@reddit
I literally cannot go an episode of top gear without smiling the whole time

Clarkson dropping the acetylene torch handle and letting it swing towards his leg makes me squirm.
Acetylene torches temp is around 6,000 °F (3,320 °C)

There’s nothing that can ever replace the old top gear. It was legendary
CzarTwilight@reddit
Mine was still on fire
Ok-Perception1347@reddit
Best thing to happen to television
370Zenius@reddit
There are people out there that think they can. Without these 3 it’s always doomed to fail! Best trio hands down!
Hanifloka@reddit
I'd say had Richard reversed down the ramp instead of going nose first, he probably wouldn't have broken his propellers. Although I could be wrong since I'm no expert on boating.
learningtocatch22@reddit
This is fantastic! Which episode is this?

S8, E3
