Billions of euro being given to ukranians who proceed to spend it all in spain or france
Also everyone semi competent started fricking off to america years ago to make more money and pay less taxes
low birth rates. everything else is just a consequence of that. they tried to fix it with migration - and it worked in the 90s and early 00s when most migrants came from slavic shitholes, italy, and even the more whiteish parts of turkey. but now they've hoovered those places dry and they went for browns - with predictable results. shutting down their nuclear and coal powerplants was the final nail in the coffin. ukraine and propping up spain and greece are just a drop in the bucket compared to that.
they sucked Russian gas pipelines before the war while shutting down their nuclear power plants, war in Ukraine happened and energy prices sky rocketed
deserved for eternal kraut honestly
Argentina has been taking L after L for half a century. During the last decade at least use pissi cuckitini and a riggedbowl to cope. What do they have now?
Even the shitshow UK has become is more functional than argentina.
Much as I would like to send you off to watch fricking Noel Edmund enthusing about boot space and insurance premiums it is somewhat opposite to Dr Who, the OG was tedious in the extreme.
Its also, frankly, a bad idea to watch too much of it, it becomes obvious how much of it is scripted acting. I genuinely believe James May that he fricking hates the others, he doesn't even like cars in real life (he does however really, really like ballet).
For those of you who are incredibly gullible I will also add I remember hearing about Clarkson (who just likes money) pitching Clarkson's Farm as early as 2008ish. If you want to believe it was something he spontaneously did I suppose I can't stop you.
i would just watch something like the polar special and if you like that you can go watch the clarkson years of top gear and skip around some of the dull review/celeb interview stuff
watch the specials, they are amazing. honestly i love every episode and find it to be the ultimate comfy TV show, but i won't tell you to go back and watch car reviews from the 90s. the specials are the episodes where they travel to different countries, saddle themselves with shitbox vehicles and then see how far they can make it across said country in said shitboxes, funny stuff. even the grand tour specials are fun, the one where they cross Laos and Vietnam via boat and make it to the ocean was quite good for a non-car Top Gear ep
Start with the Specials - Vietnam is probably the best one.
If you liked those, then move on to Top Gear episodes, starting from the season where James May joins Clarkson and Hammond.
Then the first Clarkson-run series.
Then give anything else a try.
yes but not all of it. basically anything past like series 20 is dog shit. everything before series 5 is a bit weird and flat. but then you have this juicy brilliant golden period of about 8-10 series in the middle
you've got two choices really, jump into the specials or bed yourself in slowly. i'd probably recommend starting out with either the cheap car challenge episodes (e.g. buy a porsche for less than 1500 quid, man with a van challenge) or a how hard can it be episode (e.g. can we build amphibious cars or can we make our own petrol)
specials wise, i reckon the botswana or bolivia specials might be the best place to jump in. *AVOID* the india special as a new watcher.
then after that, i reckon just watch whatever. for me, i adore season 8. it's peak top gear for me, every episode is a banger
i personally detest it but i think it'd be bad for a first time watcher because it's not a good representation of the humour that people loved top gear for. for me, it's when the show jumped the shark
You could be right, I haven't actually seen it in years so all I really remember is people being miserable in hot cars and trying to deliver food. Always enjoy seeing at least one of them being miserable in a hot car, which is why I hate all the ones where they're driving new cars with AC.
This. And even then those lists often sneak in one or two stinkers where the "challenge" involves driving some new boring supercar they've been paid to shill really fast through a foreign country.
There are a couple of of celebrities in a reasonably priced car that are fun as well, but not really enough to make the effort for.
Clarkson had a sort of permed Afro on Top Gear in 1990. I'd also want to pretend it never happened if I were him. In the same period James May experimented with that vaguely lesbian haircut that members of the Rolling Stones were into. He looked ridiculous.
you mean top gear episode wise or the general stuff related to the trio? i can make the objective best tg episodes of all time list to watch if you want
but clarkson's farm is kino. outside of that, hammond has some good stuff on youtube on the drivetribe channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryknUWwfqmQ and may has some food stuff on youtube. here's a bonus video of clarkson talking about range rovers for 30 mins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS54AJSadT4
I meant Top Gear related, I've seen Clarkson's farm kino and May's Japan kino being a weeb, also that Motorworld episode Clarkson did on Japan was also great.

>soon the last episode of grand tour will drop, signifying the last time the boys will be together doing a car show
Fricking makes me sad thinking about it. End of an era.
>read the news about the cancelation/not renewing contracts >figure the lads will just jump ship into another Top Gear-esque show like last time >they all said no and they're done with Top Gear-esque shows
Man, I hope they do literally anything together. I don't even care if it's just a glorified podcast where they talk about car news.
>Cars are too fricking boring to be subject matter nowadays,
that's not really based on reality, is it? i'd go as far to say we are in peak car enthusiast content era that is absolutely booming
I miss watching top gear with the bros during the 2008-2012 era, catching up and absorbing the new Dr Who series when Netflix was cool. Discovered Breaking Bad too. Good times, truly the golden age of TV. Now all the streaming companies cost more, use commercials and cost ad much as cable did in the first place.
remember one doing an AMA on the drivetribe channel some years back where she revealed she was like mid 20s and still lived at home and that her job was a 'instagram influencer' or something and the comments were just mocking her for being a spoiled entitled NEET etc lel
Jesus Christ Hamster and May do not look like they are in their 20s
That's because that picture is from 2003 at the earliest.
They all like 10 years older than they are on the top picture. Is it a troll?
cause that's a picture from the 2000s
this is Clarkson in 1998
whos the chick on the left
Kelly Clarkson.
your left or my left?
my left
Which left?
Texas left, which is your down

A large head befitting his large ego
Frick off james your india show was shit.
Clarkson and May look 50-60 at least in the top image, Hammond looks to be in his early 40s.
On the other hand they haven't aged that much in 34 years, guess there was really not much to age at that point.
The so-called war in Ukraine was really an American war on Germany first and foremost.
There's no fricking way that's a 30 and 27yo man respectively, especially James he look tops in his forties.
He looks exactly like my dad did in his early thirties in england but he was american, maybe it was something in the air

Argentina lost
honestly, argentina lost the falklands but Britain has lost everything
Well nobody really knows what else Argentina has lost because it's not exactly breaking news when something bad happens in a shit hole.
Enjoy your inflation rate pablo
Tick tock
Still, could be worse
Mate Argentina are in my good books right now for electing Mileil and I'm british
>Britain has lost everything
This time for sure!
>same gdp growth as italy
Nigel-sama, I kneel
>losing to France
[DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING INTENSIFIES]
wtf happened to Germany?
High interest rates, limited business prospects, lower global trade.
Billions of euro being given to ukranians who proceed to spend it all in spain or france
Also everyone semi competent started fricking off to america years ago to make more money and pay less taxes

Go woke, go broke.
thats impressive considering europe seems to be trying to screw them over
you are joking. every single country is deep in the minus
Argentina has been taking L after L for half a century. During the last decade at least use pissi cuckitini and a riggedbowl to cope. What do they have now?
Even the shitshow UK has become is more functional than argentina.
They lived long enough to get wrinkly and fat unlike those conscripts lmao
I don’t think the Gurkhas even got to fight in the falklands and we’re disappointed when it was over
boomers really are eternal old people..
from the thumbnail I thought top left was CIA
Dr Slow, I'm KIA (motors)
Should I watch this show? It has 30+ seasons and I don't want to start watching and not be able to finish them all. What do?
Watch only the specials and the challenge bits.
Much as I would like to send you off to watch fricking Noel Edmund enthusing about boot space and insurance premiums it is somewhat opposite to Dr Who, the OG was tedious in the extreme.
Its also, frankly, a bad idea to watch too much of it, it becomes obvious how much of it is scripted acting. I genuinely believe James May that he fricking hates the others, he doesn't even like cars in real life (he does however really, really like ballet).

>James May that he fricking hates the others, he doesn't even like cars in real life
This is true, all he ever wanted was a column in the Guardian.
>he doesn't even like cars in real life
that explains why he only owns 7 cars
i would just watch something like the polar special and if you like that you can go watch the clarkson years of top gear and skip around some of the dull review/celeb interview stuff

Vietnam and Bolivia, and the Africa pair, were supreme kino.

>OLIVER
Would you ride that bike with that song in Vietnam?
yes but not all of it. basically anything past like series 20 is dog shit. everything before series 5 is a bit weird and flat. but then you have this juicy brilliant golden period of about 8-10 series in the middle

It's soon gets boring and you realise how scripted and fake it all is.
It's the greatest show of all time
nah just watch clips on youtube
just watch the specials
It's a show built around self contained segments, supercar reviews and travel/challenge specials. You can watch any of them at any time.
I honestly thought Jezza was closer to 73 by now, I thought he was around 50 back when Top Gear started
>look up car challenge episodes on wiki
>only watch those episodes
that's the only good bit of the show
This. And even then those lists often sneak in one or two stinkers where the "challenge" involves driving some new boring supercar they've been paid to shill really fast through a foreign country.
There are a couple of of celebrities in a reasonably priced car that are fun as well, but not really enough to make the effort for.
I want to watch Clarkson's Farm. New season
S3 is finished filming, isn't it?
Clarkson had a sort of permed Afro on Top Gear in 1990. I'd also want to pretend it never happened if I were him. In the same period James May experimented with that vaguely lesbian haircut that members of the Rolling Stones were into. He looked ridiculous.
>1990 was 50 years ago
James May isn't the oldest?
>may looks 45 at 27
Fricking bong genes
>>may looks 45 at 27
He's 37 in that pic, op is being a pajeet scammer.
Thats not 1990, its 2000
>vietnam special was 16 years ago
we're so fricking old bros
Any recommendations for someone who has seen basically all the specials?
watch some of their DVD-only stuff like Top Gear at the Movies or The Perfect Road Trip 1 & 2
Hadn't seen those, thanks.
I meant Top Gear related, I've seen Clarkson's farm kino and May's Japan kino being a weeb, also that Motorworld episode Clarkson did on Japan was also great.

theres a good video on DRIVE TUBE or whatever the james channel is called now with hammond and may getting drunk and playing chess, its quite funny
Cars are too fricking boring to be subject matter nowadays, hence it became a travelshow

Why were a 30 year old and a 27 year old friends with a 21 year old? Seems a bit weird.
I'm in the army as a 25 year old and my best mates are an 19 year old straight out of school and a 32 year old married dude.

Name a single more KINO moment
>Ricky at 21
Clarkson at 21
Where does he fall on a scale of 1-10 in Bongistan?
why do curly haired men go bald so frequently?

The trick is to look 12 at 21 and 24 at 42.

Dude was born this way
The car in the background is a second gen mx-5 c. y2k, so May would have been at least 35 here

How has based jezza aged a year less than the others?
don't get fat when you're old, give up the candy and pizza at some point
jeremy clarkson has three daughters, and I hope they all go blind.
remember one doing an AMA on the drivetribe channel some years back where she revealed she was like mid 20s and still lived at home and that her job was a 'instagram influencer' or something and the comments were just mocking her for being a spoiled entitled NEET etc lel
I remember seeing a full chart of top gear and grand tour episodes with scores made by some pajeet on Cinemaphile. Does anybody happen to have it?
>TONIGHT
Next month lads
season 3 was the best part of grand tour
i can't put my finger on why but the newest specials haven't been very re-watchable
Grand Tour is weak, unfunny and too fake altogether
