Old Top Gear with Clarkson/Hammond/May is tremendous vs what they've got now. Grand Tour is a blast to watch.

I loved the old top gear. Nothing will ever top those three they had me in tears 😂

[@zachmighty2754]

The cast changes so much nowadays. They're trying very hard to create a group of cast that can have the chemistry of the trio. But they never will be able to do so. BBC has even pulled it from the US. They refuse to air it in the US. Which is probably part of the issue since that's a million or two, at best that would watch it. I mean, I would just because I like the cars. But I still prefer the trio
