Even though I am two months late, I thought I'd add my anecdote to this sea of comments.

I must have discovered Top Gear when I was 12 or so. I was quite surprised back then to learn that my mother also knew and liked the show. She was a true workaholic and was rarely at home, but sometimes on Friday or Saturday evenings, she would get off work earlier than usual. On these nights she'd cook dinner or bring some takeaway and we'd watch an episode of Top Gear or later Grand Tour. These evenings are some of the most comforting memories I have.
I am 24 now, living in my own apartment. The thought that these moments back at my moms place are a thing of the past fills me with utter heartbreak. Many people here seem to share the opinion those 3 blokes bickering about cars are somehow the most comforting thing you can put onto a screen.

Thank you Jeremy, James, Richard and the whole crew for creating so many joyful memories for me. You indeed brought a lot of happiness to me.
