The end of the Clarkson/Hammond/May era

In reply to stuart in mn :

Oh I figured that as well.  But being solid metal in the sun of an African summer seemed like a bad idea.

Also I forgot about Amazon adding commercials.  Likely the last thing I watch on Amazon.

Clarkson definitely plays a character. I think he's actually really intelligent. He made cars interesting to people who would never watch a car show. Then he did the same with farming. I hear many farmers are really grateful for the awareness he's bringing to the general population about the struggles of that business.

Harry Metcalf, who has the Harry's Garage YouTube channel, also has another one called Harry's Farm that gives a good perspective of farming in UK. His farm also happens to be near Clarkson's.

Thought it was decent.  As much as I liked what they did over the years, it was time for them to stop for sure.  Watching the end of the episode, looking at Clarkson then vs now was pretty shocking.

I really enjoy Harry's Farm.  He does a good job at explaining the issues of farming, and it's interesting to see the parallels as well as the differences from how things are done in the US.

Good finish. And yes, Clarkson is quite intelligent. Also an excellent wordsmith.

Did anyone else do the math on the silver? And catch James deleting the numbers from his phone at the end?

I did notice that.

The Hammond Rimac jab was pretty funny as well.

I thought he was texting the other guys, like Goodbye or something.  Then nothing happened, didn't think about phone numbers.

Took me a second to realize why they didn't find Hammonds car right away.

I was surprised the first time I found out Clarkson is younger than me but I think he's a victim of his long time smoking habit and (probably) poor eating and drinking habits. Hammond is still in pretty good shape for his age, I'm not sure what May's excuse is.

May probably has Clarkson's health habits but doesn't have kids to speed up the aging process.
