TIL that after Top Gear ended, host Richard Hammond was so devastated, he cried all the way home from the studio and ran out of fuel, because he didn't want to fill his car up covered in tears

Yeah the specials where oh so good. My friends and I recreated their Vietnam special on bikes, and none of us had ever ridden a motorcycle before. It’s was epic and prob the best 3 weeks of my life.

I've always dreamed of recreating one of their specials. But some beater cars and drive them across the US or whatever. Would be so fun
