Did you, or did you not, own a Scalextric set?

I used to race F1 cars against minis to investigate the effect of wheel-base

That's none of your business!

There’s another show with Richard Hammond and one of the three B-Side Mythbusters where they are stranded on a desert island.

And it's not awful, but it tries to be...

Really, I got through the intro and turned it off.

Richard Hammond is not as interesting as James May.

Speaking of Hammond... do you guys remember the Wacky Iraqi? (May he rest in peace). That was his name as well. I remember thinking for a split second "Could he be Top Gears Richard?"

I watched a show with Hammond on, and realised that without the other two he's a bit dull.

Clarkson's more than a bit of a tosser, obviously. It's never been fully clear how much of that is actually him, and how much is schtick.

James May is great.

The fake train station jingle is my ringtone now.

I was watching this yesterday and was surprised and intrigued to see this…

That wasn't just hamming it up for the show, by the way. If you watch any DRIVETRIBE or FOODTRIBE, May mentioned that they straightup killed the lights on him because they wanted him to leave to do something else in the factory, but he wasn't having it.
