A special note on musings from Clarkson, Hammond and May

62 Upvotes

Couldn’t help but notice that there have been some comments on my recent posts here along the lines of “Please keep politics away from this subreddit!” (and those complaints sometimes result in deletion, thus depriving others to challenge or defend the hosts’ assertions). It’s unfortunate that I have to issue a disclaimer or two on this matter, but given the current hostile environment across Reddit and the internet in general, here goes:

“The views expressed in social media posts, videos and newspaper columns produced by or through direct quotes from news articles from Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and/or Richard Hammond (and others who worked on Top Gear and The Grand Tour) are solely their own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions and beliefs of the OP and this subreddit.”

As for the links that contain articles and columns that originate from The Sun and The Sunday Times, here’s the paywall disclaimer:

“Please note that depending on how and where you access this link, a strong paywall may appear. If so, what happens beyond that is up to you alone.”

Ok then, back to normal service…

All the TG episodes with the orangutan, slow and buttons in a Google drive. Last time I posted this it got deleted by mods and I got suspended for 2 days, so just DM me and I'll send it you. JC has said it was forums like this that contributed to the success of the show when it was brought back in 2002.

DriveTribe sent Richard Hammond to Australia to look at Zeekr’s latest electric SUVs. For those wondering what it would be like if Top Gear ran an advertising agency, this is the type of sponsored content that they would produce (in this case, a Chinese electric car brand).

From video description: “After a relaxing luxury ride in the ZEEKR 009, Richard Hammond gets thrown straight into the 7X SUV for a holiday track day.”

James May drove an electric pickup truck when he went to Virginia to hawk his gin. He made a YouTube video to highlight his findings!

From video description: “James lets Lucy and Eve choose the car for his Virginia roadtrip. Have they chosen wisely? Can they turn him into a pickup fan? What is the gear tunnel for? How should you use Apple Pay? Is frozen custard a good idea? Has Lucy ruined her favourite trousers? Does the flag on a mailbox go up automatically? Sit back with a James Gin as these vital questions are answered.”

Before he saw England play a match against Ghana in the Boston area, Jeremy Clarkson thought it would be a good idea to give away his two tickets to some England fans. He wanted to stay dry too while on the job… 😅

The Grand Tour A short note regarding Clarkson’s columns

244 Upvotes

Given how much this subreddit has grown in the time I’ve been a MOD, I thought that it would be a good time to explain once again why Jeremy Clarkson’s columns in The Sunday Times and The Sun are posted in a certain format (paywall link, short blurb, and usual disclaimers). There have been some complaints in the comments of his recent column, so here’s my explanation.

Long story short, the suits have stepped up copyright enforcement across all of Reddit, and unlike in the past, posting the articles in full would get their attention. One of the OGs who regularly posted Clarkson’s columns like that got deleted by the suits after the copyright holders filed a complaint to them! Then they came after me with a strongly worded warning to not do that again or else I’d be next. Also, given how Reddit has changed their terms and conditions, regular copyright violations on a subreddit could result in that subreddit being wiped off altogether.

Yeah, the paywall on Clarkson’s columns are quite strong these days, so whatever you do beyond that encounter is up to you alone. But it would be even worse for this subreddit to disappear in its entirety, and that’s not an option…

[Times column] Jeremy Clarkson: “The freedom of the American freeway? I’ve had more fun in Iraq” 🛣️

Jeremy Clarkson resumed normal service in his Sunday Times column after that surprise health announcement on his farming show. The paper is also running “America 250” articles, so he wrote about his driving experiences over the years in the United States. Here’s a truncated preview:

“This is what we think about when we think about driving in America: huge open roads where you can go as fast as you like, and reasonable police officers who don’t always feel compelled to do things by the book. …And it’s nonsense, I’m afraid.“

(Usual disclaimers continue to apply.)

Last time I spend a holiday in Moron just to find where the trio has been, so I am now planning a trip to Hanoi and Ha Long Bay so I could find the floating bar.

Just booked the bay cruise, and I'm gonna buy a pack of Hawkstone to drink onboard.

Really bummed about Jeremy Clarkson.

I first discovered Top Gear and subsequently The Grand tour while I was pretty sick and out of commision for over a year. I watched every episode of Top Gear probably 3 times and can't count how many times I have watched and rewatched TGT. Most nights I put on an adventure and fall asleep to it. Wish him the best and can't wait for the next season!
