This is nice to hear after finding out what an absolute boomer Jeremy is.
He is learning a lot of hard lessons by attempting to run his farm, tho
inheritance tax avoidance scheme*
While this is most certainly true. I think the show has really help showing the struggles farmers are going through on a daily basis, it’s very easy to forget all the work that they put into growing our food etc… Really opened my eyes at least.
Clarkson has admitted that he knows his faults. He likes the sound and feeling of a car with a powerful engine. He doesn’t like the over-computerized and “soulless” modern car.
What kind of car you like is one thing but does he understand that when he sits at a café next to a busy, congested road and blame the cyclists for the congestion that he’s actually just factually wrong? Because I don’t think he knows that. Jeremy Clarkson is fiercely anti-bicycle and until he says, in front of an audience, that he’s wrong about this and will stop spewing vitriol at bicyclists, I frankly don’t care about him.
Captain Slow was always my favorite Top Gear presenter.
Same. If you haven’t already, be sure to watch both his travel and cooking shows. Both great.
Also his show Toy stories was really cool.
He would pick a classic toy and take it to an extreme. Like building a people-sized house out of Lego, entering modeling clay flowers into a gardening contest or making a motorcycle out of Meccano.
He would bring a bunch of people together to make it happen, it was wholesome in a not-lame way. Plus the usual James May antics.
His YouTube is a bit mid, I find. Him shilling his gin, lurpak and even doting on the cybertruck.
I mean all power to him, but I find the content very lackluster compared to the tv he made.
Loved them. Only thing he did that I did not like that much was his cyberpunk review.
I’ve always felt he’s one of us deep inside.
He’s really the opposite of Jeremy Clarkson (although now that he started farming, he also suddenly cares about climate change).
Even Clarkson would occasionally show up to work on a bicycle. It really is as simple as build the lanes and people will use them, regardless of status and opinions. If cycling is faster, easier, safer or more enjoyable, people will do it.
Better late than never?
Just shows that you can make a lot of money by saying the things the wealthy want you to say. It’s a grift.
All the proof you need that you can be a car guy and still accept that car dependancy is awful.
He always felt like the reasonable one
As usual, he’s rigbt. Cars hate being in cities. City driving is the worst for them. They’re too big and they’re barely faster than walking.
Cars don’t belong in cities just like I don’t belong in cities.
Cities can be wonderful. And the fewer cars there, the better.
Cities are not really designed for people more than two standard deviations from the mean in height
Nothing in the built environment is, city or country… That’s the nature is being an outlier
Yeah but in the countryside there’s far fewer things that are designed for humans at all, which makes me fit better there.
And scale is just one reason I’m not a city guy.
