Patagonia- Clarkson and the Porsche 928
The Patagonia special is sadly famous for all the mess caused by Jeremy's Porsche number plate, however in this part of the film our beloved shaved ape in shirt shared with the viewers the reason why he like this particular Porsche.
Silverstone - 24 hours race
When in 2007 the trio found out they have some gallons to homemade diesel to burn, they decided to take part at this tough endurance race. Their BMW performed heroically despite all the mechanical issues, also thanks to a great mechanics team. As always they had a lot of troubles but they did an awesome teamwork and for once they were ambitious but not rubbish, managing to complete the race and don't qualify last. The last minute of the race are just epics.
The Hamster's return
In 2006 Richard Hammond's terrible crash with the dragster vampire shocked all the fans of the (inter)national Hamster and kept them worried about his health for weeks. Anyway after few months he rejoined his colleagues in the Top Gear studio, in a spectacular way, despite the fact he asked them to don't make a big fuss.
End of an Era
June 2015, the very last episode of Top Gear, the last, the end, don't argue about this, the end of an era signed by the presence of only Hammond and May and of an elephant (literally) in the room, no "On that bombshell" or "Thank you e goodnight", no "see you next week", just a "thanks for watching and well...goodbye", definitive at the time, because we didn't know what would happen next...
The Boys are back in town
Finally the trio were back and they did it with style, the Grand Tour intro is indeed great, Clarkson flying to America after had left the BBC headquarters, the mustang running across the desert and the song amazingly performed by the Hothouse Flowers growing in a crescendo as Hammond and May cars aligned with Jeremy's one, was such a prefect way to celebrate the boys return, for not mention the epic run through the desert surrounded by all those fantastic vehicles. They were back, the story goes on...
These are my favorites moments, on top of many, I hope you all enjoyed the read, thanks for reading!

Did anyone else get emotional, during that opening to the first grand tour episode. When I watched it for the first time. To me, it was like a big part of my childhood coming back to life.
Yeah you're not alone! :)
My tears dropped when I heard the song goes“ I can see clearly how the rain has gone”!
You forgot the aston martin v12 vantage. How can you forget that smh
I know, my bad, but there are so many great moments so was hard pick only five, a part two will arrive soon ;)
When the Dacia Sandero gets backed into by the lory 😞😥
Honestly, I never thought Hammond and May could make anyone sad. They just proved us wrong on the last episode of Top Gear.
Indeed, such a sad moment, but that made only more epic their return :)
yeah fully agree with the propositions, and the one who touch me more than the other, is the one with Clarkson and the Porsche 928. Anyway, can do a top 5 of the most hilarious moment of Top Gear? For me in 1st place, is the caravan challenge, when Clarkson is on the highway and his Japanese loft style make is car shaking more than a shaker... each time a watch that episode i'm out of tears of laughing
Hahahahaha that part was hilarious and James in the car behind was laughing so hard such great moments of television! Maybe I should do a similar post for balance the emotional damages caused by this one :D
I have to agree, these are all tear jerkers. To add, during the endurance race Richard radios in during the night i do believe and says he’s binned it and thinks it’s all over and keeps apologizing. That was heart breaking!
Yes, I remember that part it really was heartbreaking :(
