We just posted a link to a really good Buddy TV post on the things that make Top Gear great.
But one thing they miss, one thing that’s hard for them to capture is that everyone we know, everyone we meet seems to have a personal story about why they feel so connected to James, Jeremy, Richard, and the show on the whole.
So what’s your story? What makes Top Gear great to you?
Three guys, a production team, a channel, and a Stig want to know.

A car review is usually dull and technical. Top Gear makes it GLORIOUS. ‘Nuff said.

I stumbled across TG in 2010, the lowest point in my depression, and it saved my life. It gave me something to wake up for every day.

i’m not into cars. but the boys make “being into cars” relatable and accessible. more important, they make it fucking HILARIOUS and fun.

supervaca answered:
The fact that there’s a tumblr alone! :OOOOOOOOO I like the humor a lot. It makes it interesting to people who like cars, but don’t know much
yuumegari answered:
Watching Top Gear is something I can do with my dad, thanks to my love of British television and his love of cars.
girlwifemomme answered:
I only know how to put gas into a car, yet I find this show entertaining and delightful, despite the fact Jeremy thinks we Americans are dull
here-comes-emily answered:
Top Gear made me realize that I secretly-not-so-secretly love cars. Hamster is adorable, Jezza is hysterical, and Captain Slow is, well, me.
sherlocked7q answered:

herocentral answered:
the contraptions they build that work but not very well sometimes they just fall to bits but that is what makes it great the entertainment

Top Gear is the reason that I decided to explore the world, and I watching the friendship those 3 had made me reflect. I needed to improve.
mortalengine answered:
They’re hilarious and there’s a sense of “Sod the monotone story of a toyota, let’s get a power-sliding Lambo blasting through a bomb”. Epic.
erikthelightchaser answered:
The camaraderie between the guys, the amazing footage the crew captures and the budget that the channel provides.
mojokins answered:

arushinthelimelight answered:
The camaraderie between the three hosts. That is why I watch it, the cars are only eye candy, the hosts are what make it the best show ever!

Top Gear has taught me not only a lot about cars, but since I started watching it, I’ve learned far more about Europe and the UK than I knew.

Top gear is my favorite show because I learn about cars from people who are still learning about cars. Their humor brightens my day!
bamiam0118 answered:
Became hooked during an extended work assignment in Maidenhead & Slough back in 2005. Many co-workers were stuck in James’ tailback. Classic!
aliceneedsadrink answered:
The boys and their antics
makeitcruel answered:
I never liked cars until I started watching Top Gear. The way I learned to love them as more than just machines makes the show brilliant.
written-rebellion answered:
It’s middle-aged men acting like freaking awesome children talking about awesome cars and doing general awesome immature things.
