      I think you guys are entirely too biased. Chris Harris is actually a better motor journalist and a better driver than any of the original 3.. And this is coming from someone who has watched Top Gear when it aired live since season 9.. They just need to find 2 more people that can actually drive. Freddy Flintoff and Paddy arent too bad.. They should have chosen Chris Harris / Tanner Foust / Sabine Schmitz as the main 3.. Having 3 skilled drivers in a show about driving cars would be nice.

    The moment they reunited was really nice, the BBC thought they had one over on Clarkson, until Hammond and May left to join him. The best thing that could have happened did happen and let's just take a moment to bless Amazon for keeping it alive.

    With the announcement that we only have one more GT left before the trio hangs up their hats, it is worth mentioning that when this show (and top gear by extension) at its best, is not just a car show. It's a show about people and their relationship with automotive machines. Cars can amazingly be whatever you want them to be. Be it a tool, a hobby, a life saving transport or an outlet for expression. This intro sums that up without saying a single word.

    The transition intro from BBC to Amazon productions, they absolutely nailed it, just epic.

    The moment they pull next to him in the Mustangs makes my eyes tear up. It is like they are saying to him "Where ever you go we will follow, we are loyal friends, we are behind you and by your side" I love this trio

    Not only did James and Richard quit the BBC and follow Jeremy, but also most of the production team. I love that.
    This scene put tears in my eyes. I remember watching the first episode and I got emotional. My girlfriend at the time asked me why I was emotional and I told her I had watched these 3 men do their show(s) ever since I was a kid. I had grown up on Top Gear, Manlab, Brainiac, Engineering connections, James May's 20th century, Oz and James big wine adventure 1 & 2 and Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld, Car years, Inventions that changed the world. Everything these 3 men touch, turns into gold.
