This text is here just in case someone might find a spoiler. I do not want to upset anyone by maybe spoiling anything. This is why this text is here. I am preventing issues.

So, its the end of an era. I remember the first Top Gear episode I saw. My mom actually found the show for me while looking for something to watch. It was the Winter Olympics special; right at the part where they were testing the rocket fueled Mini. Since that day in 2007, I’ve been hooked.

It’s an odd feeling for me. Being 17, this show was a part of my life for nearly half of it. I grew up with it and it proved that I wasn’t crazy for my car passion. I was always able to get a great laugh. I remember actually winning one of those contests they did a few years back that scored me a DVD copy of series 10. I have a “Some Say...” Stig poster framed on my wall. So seeing and hearing it go was rather depressing.

I do have to say that they did a great job ending it. That honestly was two of the best specials they have had in a long time. Unlike the more recent seasons, it seemed...natural. I genuinely laughed and felt the chemistry they had. The car choices were awesome. It was put together very well.

Hammond with a beard/goatee thingy is a bit weird. James had quite the blazer on. There was clearly an elephant in the room. It just ended so.... interestingly. I don’t even know how to properly describe it. Of all ways for the show to go out though, they did an awesome job.

I’m looking forward to whatever happens next.

I am so happy to see younger Jalops mourning the loss of Top Gear. It almost brings a tear to my eye.

It was good Television plain and simple.

However bittersweet it was to end the show without him, I understand why they couldn’t have Clarkson back to do any studio/voiceover bits.

That being said, I think the MG and Fiat both sounded better before they redid the exhausts.

One of the best episodes they’ve ever done. It was hard to watch knowing it was the end of something great, but they didn’t disappoint.

I honestly could feel myself getting sad when the last challenge ended and they went back to the studio

The worst part for me was when they said “Goodbye.” and I was caught staring at my sad reflection in the screen. It was a strange feeling, seeing myself visually saddened by what I had just watched. It felt like an ending. I can’t wait to see them again.

Thats exactly what I said in another comment! When the last challenge ended and they went back to the studio, I felt a little emotional and upset.
