They look like father and mother taking their son on holiday
😂🤣
" are we there yet "
Quite possibly the funniest comment I have ever read. Hats off Joe. 👏🏻👏🏻🤣🤣🤣🤣
Killed it
Brilliant
This folks have driven some of the fastest cars in the world and still chose this humble estate car as their favorite. Gotta love that
Not their favorite in any means what so ever. Its a car they all agree to like. They dont often like the same cars, but this they all think the same, that its a decent car
Ye what Tim said, and if anything Amazon told them to or something, actors being actors, even if they are LEGENDARY! and car enthusiasts to the bone.
Probably got good money for it or missed the complete joke/Story to it..
Despite their reputation of liking supremely rare and expensive automobiles they have an appreciation of cars that are inexpensive but manage to be great anyway. In one episode Clarkson describes the Fiesta ST as "The best thing I've driven all year." for example.
Its also the fat check ford gave them.
I'd listen to them talking about all the cars they hate till the end of time
I’d listen to them talk about literally anything lol
@@OtterPup_ the most true and relatable comment that i have ever read
just them having a discussion like this makes me happy.
I'd listen to them talking about anything as long as we can get an hour a week like the good old days
James : Mini Countryman
Jeremy : OOOOOHHHHHH WE HATE THAT
Richard : Yer We Hate That
me, who drives a Mini Countryman: :[
@@saxninja8464 oh no terrible car
@@callumhardy5098 is the issue that it sacrifices the performance of the Cooper for extra space/being an SUV?
@@saxninja8464 no its those stupid oven doors on the back and the fact that it has 3 doors 2 of which open on the road side.
@@callumhardy5098 i thought that was the Clubman that had the weird doors, my Countryman has four doors and a regular back door
For the last 15 years. I watched every single top gear episode and grand tour episode. It's been a honor to be your fan. For so many years You have brought us laughters and joyful tears. You have been and will always been THE most popular car show.
Genuinely cried at the end of this episode, felt like the end of a big part of my childhood. Especially appropriate as I turn 18 next month. Thanks for all the laughs guys
Mr Flibble same here. Grown up with these 3 pretty much all my life
@@alexhartley9963 so many great times had watching the trio's adventures. When Jeremy broke down crying at the end here I couldn't help but do the same. But at the same time I'm grateful they had such a good run. I mean how many shows can run for 17 years and still retain their quality? At least this time we got to say a proper goodbye unlike with top gear
@@mrflibble1259 they are coming back for season 4
@@mdhs8248 yeah but not in the same format.
Mr Flibble eh saying bye even tho they got renewed is a bit silly. It’s still them, same jokes, same reviews, same adventures, just without the tent
It's going to be so sad when the actual show finale comes.
No it will continue but not as studio show.
Ye I think he was referencing that anyways, saying how it will be sad when the whole thing ends, not saying it is sad that it's ending (since it's not ofc)
@@Thearmadalord why are they ditching the tent?
akhil krishna So they don’t have to film them twice. Its just film a special, edit it and then put it out!
@@akhil1781 Probably cost like Luke said. But more importantly this is the end of their 3 season contract with Amazon so they're renewing it and I guess they decided that the tent, the studio, the track, the cars it must all be just too much to handle from a cost perspective
Anyone else cry when Jeremy started? I never thought I'd see that man cry on camera.
Ikr I started crying a lot.
It's not the first time he's cried while talking about something with a sentimental value, for example the 928 story on Patagonia.
@@sen_ex That's true. He visited his dad one last time because of that car right?
@@Keenergetic Actually Clarkson has been around for longer than 17 years. You can find stuff here on youtube that dates from the mid 90s - early episodes of TG with Tiff Needell, motorworld and the like. It's been 17 years with May and Hammond, but Clarkson has been around longer than that. But you are right in saying Clarkson has a lot to be proud of, he's brought happiness to a lot of people over the years.
Same here. It felt a bit unreal to see him so emotional. But very touching. It feels like the end of an era. They should carry on until clarkson is in his 70's and looks like he's in his 90. The only respectable car show. Clarkson is a hero for me
"Oi loike speed"
"Oh theres a surprise"
Perfect XD
The Ford Mondeo and the Ford Focus are probably the best family estate cars. Lots of space, safe, efficient, good performance and affordable.
Did a lot of my Police Advanced driver training in the top spec Mondeos. A true drivers car for the masses and very underrated.
I was in tears after he said “It’s the final one”, God they scared me half to death. I hope this show lives on for at least 8 more years. Words cannot express both the joy and the sadness I felt in those last few minutes. I can’t wait for the next series!
Cheers to many more years of The Grand Tour!
There’s not going to be anymore series. Just specials, the programme segments in the tent will be over.
David Robertson I know, I’m just saying that I’m glad that the Grand Tour’s going to continue
Gurmehar Bajwa needs to go on 4ever.
Never thought i would cry over a car show. 17 years of joy, thank you.
I cried, I actually cried when they announce the "end", soooo many years watching them, one of the few things me and my father liked to watch was them, the memories, the laughs... What an amazing trio..
I never thought for once in my life, that a plucky little motoring show can make me cry but yet it did! Top Gear/The Grand Tour. You have been a part of my and many other people's lives for nearly 20 years (GOD I'm old), so I'm pretty sure on behalf of entire the human race, Thank you for all the memories! Cheers!
P.S. Now, let's not get bogged down on who's show about to end. And I'm about to spend my whole weekend rewatching every episode from the beginning.
It's coming back for a 4th season there won't be any tent though.
Best trio ever.
EVER !😀
I think Messi, Neymar and Sauraz was better !
@Jim Barrows I love Freddie the man is a legend plus the new top gear cast have really good chemistry I mean cmon Chris Harris said something about Paddy driving a Sex offender car and Paddy 1st response is "I don't think you can say sex offender on the BBC" 🤣😂🤣
Good thing they didn't split up after top gear
Nissan Juke is like an inside-out Tardis - massive on the outside but tiny when you’re sitting in it.
You ain't wrong there chief, it's fucking cramped
Brilliant 😅
this is v true
People buy these sort of "cars" thinking that they're getting more space because they're big, the truth is that e.g. the boot is often smaller than a B-sector hatch because they're just tall, not long.
They're built that way to convince mums that they can park them when on the school run. Feels smaller than a Toyota Yaris inside, but the outside is all just crumple zone. Same with the Ford Kuga and BMW X5.
Nothing else on television makes me laugh out loud like these 3 blessed guys ,the joy and laughter and good humour they have brought into countless millions of lives is incredible 😀😀💜
When i was a kid my dad had a 1994 Mondeo Ghia V6 in a dark flip flop green-purple which was a stock color i think it was called Mallard Green, i loved that car!
I've just realised how strange it is to see all three of them in the same car. They're always in separate ones
Watch the radio station special episode, they arrive in one car
It can't be a coincidence that, out of 10 cars they mentioned here, 7 of them are SUVs. Hateful machines
SUV’s are like the fighter bombers of cars. The sum of the parts is not equal to their value as individual parts
Almost got killed by one suv a couple of days ago. Can't even remember which one was it because all of my life passed in front of my eyes. Now I hate them and their drivers with all of my heart.
Yeah they are 😆
Also, they're a product of scaremongering. What I mean by that is, you know how in the early 00's there was advertisement about vehicle safety, Top Gear UK even did a feature on it about the safety rating in a crash. However, it's sort of like the gun problem in America, where as one person has one, so they all have to have one to feel safe. A well built car hitting another well built car is just the same in a crash as an SUV hitting another SUV. The media's bull shit as usual 🙄
SUVs can be decent if done correctly. Honda know what they're doing.
Johny40Se7en and once a majority of people are driving SUVs those same panicked owners will need something bigger, and than bigger again.
This Trio will live on FOREVER, no doubt!!
I cried at hard at this episode as at "now all that remains for us to say is, well, goodbye"
Really made me smile this whole episode about farewell to the mondeo, got a 2000 Mondeo ST24 and its not my first and it was like loosing a mate when the last one had to be scrapped, taking much better care of this one as its becoming rare and ofc being the first car in the ford line to wear the ST badge :D
This was the episode where i cryed like a little girl not only because iam a huge, huge Ford fan , but also because this was one of the most emotional episodes ive seen.
What episode is it?
Sums up the three pretty well, james with the comfort, hammond with the practicality and jeremy with the speed and power
JC: I like the speed
HAMMOND: Oh that's a surprise.
Just watched it last night, yep definitely cried last night....I am not ashamed at all. But then THE SMILE that followed...when they said they will still continue!
I loved this bit so much. Seeing them all in the same car having a rational and civilized conversation was really entertaining.
RIP tent style GRAND TOUR
Top Gear gave me the will to study English. Without them, I would never able to speak ENG fluently.
Please remember, it's pronounced "POWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" and is appropriate at all times - especially in places such as libraries, church meetings and visits to Ann Summers.
Clarkson : I like the speed.
Hammond : oh that’s a surprise 🤣
Meanwhile the Hamster has numerous accidents under his belt....most of them because of...speed.
I have a 2008 Mondeo and love it. It's the Titanium spec with the less common 5-pot 2.5T petrol. Has a lovely burble sound to it, pulls well in all gears, makes a great sleeper.
Seeing this makes me very sentimental. My first car that I bought outright by myself was a 2000 Ford SVT Contour which was the American version of the very car they drive in this video, albeit without the wagon bit and only having 200 bhp not 220. Either way that was an epic little car and I know exactly why they all love it.
I did get emotional myself seeing the end of this episode. New Top Gear started the year I graduated from High School. It is crazy to think that for all but one year of my adult life these three Gentlemen have been making my favorite show.
It's strange to actually think about something that has been a part of your life for such a long time ending in its current form. However, I look forward to what they do next!
These three started the year I was born and when it finishes there is going to be a serious void in my world
Rarely seen them this laid back and casual, how great is that.
didn't expect Jeremy tear up...it's an perfect example of how much jeremy cared about everything
im already crying thinking about their farewell to us in a few years
I cried a bit when Jeremy did I mean I remember watching the first episode of season 1 so I grew up with them. Thank you top gear/grand tour for always being there when I was down and out.
Best Episode the Trio have created ever since they started . Was an absolute masterpeice 😍
All three of them in one car discussing cars is bliss ☺️
Not the only car they all like.
What about Renault Avantime?
I remember top gear s12e03 where they say that they all like one car and it is the Renault Avantime.
May later said he actually hated that car if I remember correctly
The Subaru Legacy they all said they loved too and also Hammond is wrong about the X Type Jag, Clarkson really liked the X Type estate AWD on top gear...
Ok
Alexander Cave GREAT NEWS!!
@@Chris2010H X type Jag estate, aka a fast Ford Mondeo estate, aka what they're driving!
i think when the time comes Jeremy's grave should have a motion activated speaker which screems "power" as you walk past maybe followed by screeching brakes and crashing sounds lol
"through the pearly gates- backwards, in a fireball."
Who else cried along with Jeremy at the end of the episode?
@@Keenergetic yeah
I was in the middle of my lunch, almost got choked with food
I didn't shed tears but I was still saddened and shocked when he shedded tears
Gota agree Mondeo is the perfect all round car, so comfy on long journeys, I had a 2.0 16v Ghia X. loved it, very reliable too
My daily driver is a 2.0 Ghia X from 2000. Great car.
I hope there are many more specials in the near future from The Grand Tour team. Travel the world you mighty gentlemen!
They could always do a show like a “After the Walking Dead” or something where they can sit down together after the episode and discuss their project. Call it “Pit Stop” or something and have fans/crowd members.
17 years of laughs, cars and bullying each other! That’s my whole life of watching this!......yes even when I was only a year old watching the “revised” Top Gear in 2002! The first episode I watched ever on RUclips was the Top Gear episode of the Veyron vs jet! I’ve been addicted to it ever since! From America, WE LOVE YOU GUYS!🤟🏻👍🏻
The best trio ever.....period
Wagon, Estates, Familiares, Guayin, Kombi..
ALL FOR THE WIN
I remember the Mondeo ST24 rsap when I had a vectra Sri V6 . Then I saw this car only in blue I was like wow😍..
I was well Pee’d I got a vectra but I kept it and eventually bought a ST220 and I swear to this day it’s the best car I’ve ever owned I still miss that car.!
couple of cars I regret missing on: E39 530i (M5 would have been nice, but unrealistic for me, also the 530 had the better steering) and the Mondeo ST220. I have a 2004 Mondeo 2.5 and it's great - if I find a low mileage Mondeo ST220 from 2007 or so I might just have to get one in the next couple of years
Nikola Jelovac
Mine had 53? Or 55000 ish miles when I part exchanged but it was a 2004 model still had the 6 speed gearbox and the fresher looking Interior, the Only visible differences I noticed were chrome door handles and chrome surround grill which I never liked anyway. However watch out , in the uk due to greedy gov tax, 2006+ model went into £500 year vehicle excise duty . But the Engines are Strong, my new ST can spurt out Numbers on a Piece of paper to suggest its fast, but on the road that 3litre pulled like a freight train. .......
Enough talk now I feel like crying,
i sold the only car I ever loved 😢😪
For a biggish car on premium tyres it bloody held the road too. There was a reason Police used them in Uk.👍
A motorbike cop once said to me it’s in nice condition, which led him to say it was of the police favourite cars
Mondeo is epic
Yes although I prefer the sedan to the estate
A jaguar x type is basically a ford mondeo in disguise i dont understand why hammond said the x type i have an x type i think its a great car, every1 thinks youre some rich snob from 2001 even though youre not rich and a jaguar x type can be bought used now by your average civilian the estate ersion as well...
Have a kombi, it's just brilliant
FixedOrRepairedDaily
And dont forget the sleeper variant ST220
The sporty version
Top Gear consolidated my passion for cars. My taste in cars is very similar to the trio's preferences and I was delighted to read, years ago, that the only car they all three liked was the Mondeo. As a proud owner of a Mk3 petrol model, I can only say thank you for a perfect finale.
I remember them talking about the mondeo and how all 3 liked it since the top gear van challenge.Always thought it was the mk3 they were talking about.
Hey at least they'll still go on with adventures, everyone. Though will miss the tent 😭.
I will😔
I think conversations like this, between the three of them, is the heart of the show.
It's really sad to see the "conversation street" or "the neeews" format gone, but i wish them all the very best for their next endeavor, really looking forward to that.
They look like a family. Jeremy as the father, James as the mother with his long hair then Richard in the back like a tiny child
A rare occasion of all 3 in one car...man the love these guys have brought between man and machine
There has been several occasions- Cadillac BLS to radio staton, Avantime, Espace cabrio, caravan holiday, hovervan, geoff. Also car sauna, musical chairs in an old hatchback
@@audiofiil still a rare occasion compared to how many episodes made trips they’ve had
I've never LOVED hearing a group of men talk about the things they HATE more than these 3
Glad they're in that Mondeo as that's same model that was our family car for a while :)
Renault Aventime. They all liked it in Top Gear few years back.
Thing is it's a forgettable car as it sold in such tiny numbers. Nobody even remembers it till someone mentions it
My grandfather had every generation of Cortina as a company car, possibly the first few Sierras, too
Cut to the 90s when I was rooting for team Valvoline and later RapidFit in the Supertouring era BTCC
The Cortina and its' resulting lineage were more than just a name.
They were a trusted family member, a role model, a superhero.
I had a similar experience. My father owned x2 Ford Sierras (both mk1 hatchbacks, one was 4x4 cossie which I learned to drive in lol) then Sierra Saphier saloon, and then mk 1 and mk2 Mondeos. This was alongside Fiat 131/Rover SD1...and Vauxhall Cavallier 🤮🤮🤮 we never owned or drove a Vauxhall ever again lol.....my first car was a mk1 Fiesta...then Mk2 Golf, the last of the Ford Escort (which was kak...too heavy and slow - compared to older versions ) then I got the hand me downs...I got the Mk1 Mondeo and then Mk2 Mondeo....both were absolutely peach to drive....loads of space, never had any issues etc...brilliant in town as well as on the motorway. The newer Mondeos looks like a totally different car compared to those that came before...so freaking huge...and good looking too.
"I like the speed" SURPRISE!!!!!
I owned 2 of MK2 Mondeo hatchback 2014-2015 and 2019-2020. They were my most reliable cars I owned so far.
Mondeo is still the most comfortable car I’ve ever been in
They all liked the Renault Avantime! This was a word for work conversation when they were in the Avantime in Top Gear Season 12
Yet in old Top Gear Jezza sang the praises of the AWD Jaguar X Type estate!
had Fords for 20 years now, first a 98 Mondeo Ghia, now a 2016 Mondeo Tit X, never had any trouble... just awesome cars
I remember hammond rant about nissan juke that was funny, It breaks my heart they ending so soon, please dont stop😢
They also loved each other's cars in the Australian Outback episode of Top Gear. Nissan GT-R, Bentley Continental GT, BMW M6 GC.
We'd love the Mondeo over here, but Ford isnt interested in selling us a Fusion station wagon.
And AWD fusion wagon with the 2.7TTv6 would be amazing.
Barstards had me in tears when I didn't even shed a tear for Top Gear Ending. Then they say we are doing specials and the worst part of Grand tour is ending but they will make specials. Can't wait. They are the best.
Just noticed that when he says "i like the speed" his Doncaster accent comes back a bit haha
Gavin Wheeldon no he did that on purpose
All car enthusiasts love fast, fun to drive wagons, and the Mondeo ST is exactly that, the boys also all like the Subaru Outback.
Back to watching James May on youtube going on about elevators 😂😂😂😂
Everything they love mashed into one perfectly adequate car
Hammond: practicality
May: comfort
Clarkson: *POWERRRR*
I love this scene. Thank you for that. I like to see it and hear it again and again. :-)
My dad had the saloon and it was a great car the seats amazingly comfy and when ya put ya foot down it can shift.
I love bits like this, where they’re just bouncing off each other. It’s why I will miss Conversation Street
I hope they'll put out a weekly or monthly little news segment like Conversation Street on RUclips or something--their banter is just so entertaining to watch
That EXACT FORD MONDEO was my family's first car. It was such a piece of junk... But I loved it! 😍😍
What i love about these guys, is that I know for a fact that they are not just saying all this to be modest or just to try and relate with the average viewer. They actually mean what they say. They have driven it all and they still for the most part drive average cars.
Jackie Stewart used to be a major advisor for Ford years ago, I think that might've helped
EDIT: His autobiography shows this in more detail
Don't stop doing what you do, always give me a lift.
You can see how much it meant to Jezza loosing the tent/studio format. It was his baby, shame he never got a true send off from Top Gear. At least we have some great specials to look forward too.
I've heard that the Grand Tour is coming to an end too, that's sad but I really hope that these three come together and just do to random podcast together or something, doesn't have to be live. That would be bloody awesome.
i COULD be wrong but on "old gear" didn't they say they also all like the Renault Avantime
Yes! I want an Avantime so bad 😢
Forgotten maybe
avantime, outback but ive im not mistalen when the mk4 mondeo came out they all said that they loved the old one which i thought was the mk3,which jeremy also said had one of the best fwd chassis' ever
Not wrong there. Ford Mondeo & Renault Avantime are their only 2 favourites.
Suzuki Swift also I think they all liked that
The ford mondeo was a world´s sensation back in ´94 and still is. It´s the car that all have fond memory´s of! I´ve had a ´96 1.8 hatchback mondeo, great car! Currently drive a 2.0 ´03 hatchback mondeo again great car. Ford is car for the people!
I just watched this episode at home.... and all I have to say... PLEASE, PLEASE..... do not stop!!!! Please! Friday nights will never be the same, or.. it will be the same before The GT!!!! all the best from Marcos, Brazil!!!
There is a series 4, with only specials after this one has ended that starts next year (most likely) 😃
The greatest car show. . . . . .in the world.
It’s not a feeling we haven’t felt before, like when they left the BBC back in 2015.
They won’t return to the tent, but they’ll never leave our hearts. Been there since 2002.
I wonder what happened to the Renault Avantime? I mean, you three liked it, didn’t you?
redskibunny1 Pretty sure they also liked the Subaru Legacy Spec-B or.... some other Legacy model
I shed a tear with Jeremy when he announced the end of the grand tour.
What about Renault Avantime? They all loved that car, didn't they?
Joseph Andreanus Wijaya - Fords just better
I am glad to see that the Grand Tour is going to go on
The fun that never ends and the best show ever
What an absolutely heartbreaking episode.
I'm going to buy my second Mondeo now.
Love our subaru legacy too.
There's no better way to bond with friends other than to chat shit about things you all hate
That's weird because they've previously said they all like the Renault Avantime, Subaru Legacy Outback, Land Rover Discovery (and possibly the Vauxhall Insignia, I can't remember for certain though)
Did you bring JOHN back to the UK with you guys
whos john?
@@johnsmith-nl3js The off-road car that they built themselves (well May and Hammond did) in the Mongolia Grand Tour Special. I watched it for the first time a few days ago, so if I remember correctly, it's Season 3, i think Episode 8: 'Survival of the Fattest'.
@@PoissonVisageStudios what car was it based on?
I can't remember, I think a Land or Range Rover, but it's completely unrecognisable and I think they only say once, because it's only the chassis and engine etc. They made the seats and outer body themselves out of wood and fabric and things.
My uncle had one, he loved that and crashed it. RIP Uncle. I used to call that car Uncle as a child because that car was like good uncle who cares about you.
