How hard is it for these idiots to understand the show was awesome because of the chemistry between Clarkson, May and Hammond?

Grasping. Got to realize actual gear heads made up a small portion of the audience. Normal folk that might just have a passing interest were watching for the hosts not the cars.

Clarkson is why Clarkson's farm has been a massive hit. If it was random farmers farm nobody is watching that shite.

I love cars, but as you said watching the show was about the hosts

That trio was announced what, 6 months ago, and I swore at that point I’d never watch.

Why the frick is the weird train guy one of the three?

All of the posts Clarkson, May, and Hammond did around the premier had overwhelming comments about not watching it

Dosnt Clarkson own the show though?

I thought GT was kind of their production in partnership with Amazon.

He’s definitely a train guy but if you watched any of his other content the dude is definitely a gear head that loves cars and is very intelligent about them. I believe he has a mechanical engineering degree from the University of Nottingham

Francis has a huge baked in online following.

He is a train nerd first, but he is a huge petrolhead as well. He does a lot of car projects, his K20 swapped Jazz and his OM606 (even more legendary than the K20) swapped SL.
