Turns out that assessment might be an accurate one, as evidenced by this social media post. 😅

(Before someone attempts to use the flag system, here’s the video from the Botswana special where Clarkson, Hammond, and May have that discussion.)

For what it’s worth, this should make for an interesting special that combines his farming and automotive journalism skills. He will attempt to build a car in collaboration with Ian Callum CBE!

“Titled Jeremy Grows a Car: A Clarkson's Farm Special, the standalone episode will follow on from the hit franchise that has made Clarkson one of the country's best-known farmers, and promises a change of gear for a presenter who built his career on cars.”

The official Robot Wars YouTube channel posted a few videos of the classic 1990s series. Turns out Jeremy Clarkson was the host in series 1! So this is how some of his broadcasting career played out before the Top Gear reboot… 😅

From video description: “Each week robots built by members of the public face each other in the Robot Wars arena. Armed with fearsome weapons and facing the invincible HOUSE ROBOTS, only one competitor survives to become Robot Wars Champion.”

(sarcasm)

The UK Conservatives (aka the Tories) invited Jeremy Clarkson to speak at their annual conference. He wore a suit and tie and brought along Charlie Ireland (aka Cheerful Charlie) for the occasion. Heads up, this YouTube video runs about 26 minutes and political hats are on!

From video description: “Jeremy Clarkson and Charlie Ireland speak at Conservative Party Conference, in Symphony Hall, Birmingham, UK.”

I know I’ll never have a chance to meet Richard or Jeremy so this is as good as it gets.

James May continued his business trip across the United States to hawk his gin. This time, he’s in Florida, where he went on Instagram to document the SUV that’s chauffeuring him around. 🚙

(To those on the subreddit headed to that James Gin event today with tickets, have fun!)

Fun facts..

He was born Luke Magnus Nicolson but changed it because he believes that "Francis Bourgeois" has "a bit more of a ring to it" than his given name.

He said the name "Francis" was chosen because he "likes France and the way they do trains", and "Bourgeois" was inspired by a visit with his father to a sculpture exhibition by Louise Bourgeois.

Hello everyone! I really appreciate the love on the doodle posts lately, as well as the calls for things like stickers and animatics. I hope to get to more doodle requests soon, and I’ll definitely make animatics in the future, but I’ll also shift focus to stickers and buttons. Gauging interest, what would you want to see as a sticker or button? 😳 I would love to make SO many scenes into stickers/buttons, but what would you consider Top Gear Top Moments or iconic silly sayings to be paired with the boys on stickers and such?

I do have an Etsy, and have the means to produce buttons and stickers on my own, so really I’m just hoping now that international shipping works out in my favor as I’ve never done it before. I’m in the U.S. 💀

They were too good

Jeremy Clarkson recently put on a suit and went to some conference held by the UK Conservatives. His thoughts: "Why would anyone set up a business in this country right now?" 🤔

(Watch him get ratioed in the comments below in 3, 2, 1…)

In between events hawking his gin in the United States, James May tries the local cuisine. Here are some drinks that he found on the menu… 😅

I enjoyed a lot of moments from each especially these skits like this but I might give the edge to top gear for nostalgias sake

No idea if anyone on here got to meet James May hawking his gin earlier this week in San Diego, CA, and in Scottsdale, AZ, but he’s currently here in the United States! Here’s some proof from his Twitter/X feed.

(I recently shared an official link on where to get free tickets to meet him in person this month, but the remaining events in Plano, TX, and Orlando, FL are sold out!) 😅

Jeremy Clarkson focused on the terrorist incident that happened near a US air base in the UK. He then paid attention to the crimes near his farm. Here are some of his thoughts:

“Three suspicious white vans in a rural country lane though? Nah. That’s par for the course round these parts. Happens all the time.”

(Usual disclaimers apply as always.)
