I remember when the 1600E came out (about 1968). It was, effectively, a 1600GT with "accoutrements". It looked very graceful and you could turn up _anywhere_ and not be ashamed. It was, sort of, an oversized Radford Mini Cooper. All male teenagers saw the 1600E as a car we could aspire to and have a reasonable chance of attaining. We all wanted Ferraris but, deep down, we knew this was a pipe dream. Not so with the 1600E. It was fast, luxurious elegance and was a realistic proposition.

When I was a kid, my dad picked me up from school in a white Honda Civic automatic, reg JSN 290N. 3-door, tiny little car, he'd bought it from the guy upstairs (who wanted to go back to motorbikes), it had a black interior, black fluffy seat covers, a cassette radio and my siblings and I were so small at the time that you could easily fit the four of us in the back of it! Probably a horrendous car to drive then and now. But from the minute I laid eyes on it I loved that car so much, if you offered me one now I'd snap your hand off.

We love each other, but we tend to have big arguments time to time. But every time I watch this clip I just remind myself of the bmw 330d e46 that my dad owns for 19 years and of how I am proud of him. Let’s protect our relationships and value them as much as we can. They won’t be here forever, and that is heartbreaking.

I have watched this twice on prime and both times I've had tears. To see Jeremy's tears I just totally lose it emotionally. I will watch over and over the original Top Gear, and I will watch over and over, the Grand Tour. I can't expalin why. There is no logical explanation. Jeremy, James and Richard I thank you from my heart. You feel like family. Long may you contnue together in good health and bring us the laughter we love so much. Cheers...

The Church segment together with the very last part of the episode in the tent were the most emotional of the GT and some of the most emotional ever from the trio, especially Jeremy in the last 17 years or so. Jeremy said that he got emotional because he never got the change to say his farewell to TopGear, in fact he said the day before he was still doing it, the day after it was gone. Although the audience, track and talk show part of the show may be gone forever after so many years, knowing that more specials with them three are coming is nothing short of relieving. Also because it’s what I’m really interested about in this show: cars, adventures, amazing scenarios and ... them.

I don't like Clarkson, but he is absolutely spot on with the emotions that run through a car enthusiasts' mind when dad buys a neat car. My dad never had "cool" cars when I was growing up, not after he sold his Datsun 510. Twenty years ago he bought a Miata and I just about flipped, as he finally bought a neat car. Now I have it, and we still talk about it and how much fun that little car has remained to drive.

In 1979, when I was 5 years old, dad swapped his 1.5 BMC diesel-engined Austin Cambridge A60 for a 1969 Datsun Cedric P130 with a 2.2l factory diesel. I remember seeing it the first time - we walked down to the garage and dad was kidding me that maybe there wasn't anything new in there. The Cedric was a beautiful car - smooth, silent, relatively quick (compared to the glacially slow Cambridge) and it was metallic maroon with silver interior and had quad headlamps. 13 years later I would drive it myself, my first car. I loved that car, still do, and same as Jeremy Clarkson here, I was so proud of dad!

I'm in America and although I can't relate precisely to the car lovingly described by Jezza here, I will say my Dad introduced me to the combustion engine. We tore them down, rebuilt them and squeezed every single hp possible out of that little Chevy 283. It was a glorious experience. I miss my Dad.

Oh how i loved those cars, truly awesome. That said, if you wanted the ultimate Cortina, then it had to be the Mk 1 Lotus Cortina, two-door in white with the Lotus green flash along the side. Now that was just a dream to the vast majority, prolly still is today

I had a similar experience with my dad. Funny how we become emotional about cars. Just pieces of metal really, but the memories they can unleash are priceless.

True legend. And I can 100% relate to the feeling, then i remember back to the childhood, and my dad came with a brandnew 91’ VW Golf GTD. Here in Denmark VW is a big deal 😅

In 1978, when I was 15, my uncle who was a great mechanic, gave an engine overhaul for a farmer friend (in Ireland), to his 1968 Mark II Cortina. He was weeks at that car and did a great job fixing it. The car was only ten years old at the time and was in beautiful condition. Metallic green was the colour. When he decided to test the car, he insisted on his 13 year old son to drive it. The boy was a good driver, but wild at the wheel. The strip of land he tried it on was unusual, that it had a bog on each side. The strip of land was about half a mile long, leading into the farm. We all watched as the boy drove the car down this strip of land. He did about thirty, as his father told to do. But on his way back, he put his foot down. The car skidded and took a quick right turn into the bog. The boy got out, but the car sunk like a brick. A couple of days later, the farmer took a tractor, near the bog, to kind of pull the car out. The tractor got stuck, so he got another tractor to get the stuck tractor out and that one got stuck too. My uncle told me that the car was never taken out of the bog and that the tractors were stuck there for years. I wish I had a video of that.

You've just described the exact same feeling when my dad arrived home with his 1600E in 1970 , 4YI was the reg number. Only difference was his had a leather padded centre on the steering wheel. In 1979 he traded it in for a disastrous Opel Rekord Berlina diesel that broke his heart and his wallet. I was 18 then and had begged him for the Cortina but to no avail but in about 83/84 I saw it on a country road with a for sale sign on it and bought it back & pulled the birds for years after 😋
