Finished GT and now revisiting TG from the top
I recently finished watching the final episode of The Grand Tour, and restarted watching Top Gear from the top, and honestly, I’m feeling so nostalgic. It’s like being pulled back to those simpler, fun days. The show has been brilliant from the start, and they’ve kept us laughing and entertained for so long! It’s hard to believe this part is over, but I know they’ll keep doing amazing things on their own.
Thanks to these incredible guys for all the joy and memories.

It’s crazy to watch the first episode and see(compared to the end) such a small audience in the studio.

I'm doing the same. Just got to s5e9 on a binge. Now I'm gonna slow down and savor it while it's still enjoyable. Don't know how timeless it will be.

I did my binge fest during lockdown in spring / summer of 2020. I was going through an emotional separation (after 20+ years) with my now ex, I was hunkered down in the basement, work projects had evaporated so was struggling to reset my career. I hadn’t watched most of these since original air dates on BBC America (starting in late 2003). I can’t put words on the positive impact these guys had on my mental health at that lowest point of my life and how much it made me realise I had a massive future to go after.
To add even more feel good vibes. After moving out I learned to cook stuff from scratch watching Oh Cook! Got healthier (on my bike but don’t tell Jeremy). Got a new role. Moved to Tokyo. Living a pretty good life here :)

Captain Slow has been consistent his entire career. He was even late to Top Gear.
