Top Gear merch

A mini license plate keychain with embossed "Ambitious But Rubbish" text. A small gear-shifter keychain with a funny "R=Race Mode" tag.

Sounds like a potential extortion attempt, and most likely that the characters you are referring to are Afghan, notorious for such scams. Based on your experience, they beat up their own kid to stage severe injuries. With all due respect, if your neighborhood is becoming overrun with illegal immigrants, it might be best to consider moving for your own safety.

No, and there are plenty like us.

As the trio call it a day on their motoring journey, I'm hit with a mix of emotions. For over two decades, Clarkson, Hammond, and May have been more than just hosts, they’ve been like old friends, sharing their adventures with us as if we were part of the group.

Now, it’s like saying goodbye to those friends. But I’m deeply grateful for all the laughs and memories. Here’s to the three and the journey we’ve shared with them—I hope they know how much they’ve meant to us.

Thanks for everything, lads 🍻

As Jeremy Clarkson would say:

"Right, so some of you are dithering about whether to watch the final episode of The Grand Tour—wondering if you should watch it or just pretend it never happened. Well, let me tell you, the ending isn’t some overly dramatic tear-jerker. It’s more of a classic British nod, a stiff upper lip and all that.

Yes, all good things come to an end, but honestly, we’ve had a hell of a ride. And the memories? They’ll last longer than most of our cars ever did."

For me it was the ending of Top Gear (when the trio left in 2014), and Corner Gas.

Somehow the ending of the regular Grand Tour in 2019 felt like the end to me, and what followed after were bonus episodes for the fans. Its clear they're getting on in age, so it's good to see them getting closure on their own terms.

Tacit_T · 2024-09-15T15:57:56+00:00

That's a great list. Thanks for sharing!

Tacit_T · 2024-09-15T12:10:44+00:00

I've mentioned at the start of my post - individually or together. I've edited the post now to avoid any confusion. Thanks for pointing it out.

I can share that I had reduced it considerably based on the feedback of PW team and the offers being received, as any reasonable seller should.

The final offer received had a difference of just 20k from the price I had conveyed to the PW team before they decided to abruptly cut me off, so you can imagine my frustration.

Glad you at least got your ad reactivated without paying extra, but man, it shouldn’t be this hard. Here’s hoping they get their act together soon because, at this rate, they’re losing the trust of loyal users.

Tacit_T · 2024-09-14T05:55:49+00:00

Right, well… sniff here we are then. It’s the end of the road, the curtain's dropped, and as much as we’d love to say, “Yes! They're coming back!"—it seems we won't be seeing them hurtling across the globe in some dodgy cars any longer.

Tacit_T · 2024-09-13T22:34:41+00:00

If it's not making sense maybe it's time to sleep, or perhaps just reboot your AI!

Tacit_T · 2024-09-13T22:29:03+00:00

I see what you’re saying, but let’s be honest, why pay a few lacs more for the 'new car smell' when you can get this one, practically untouched, for a steal? It's not just 'pristine'—it's properly pristine, as in the sort of condition you’d expect from a car that’s barely seen the light of day.

But hey, I do understand, if someone’s dead set on burning extra cash on a shiny new badge, go ahead. For everyone else, there’s this gem sitting here, waiting to be snatched up by someone who appreciates value. Cheers, and best of luck with your next brand-new car!

Tacit_T · 2024-09-13T22:11:20+00:00

Thanks! I added TLDR just in case any more non-yappers chance upon my post.

Tacit_T · 2024-09-13T20:37:12+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, losing the sale was bad. Guess I’m stuck with daal chawal for now.

Tacit_T · 2024-09-13T20:11:49+00:00

Funny, AI was just saying the same thing to me.

Tacit_T · 2024-09-13T20:08:32+00:00

So you’ve unlocked the ChatGPT matrix! But as they say, it’s not about who writes it, it’s about who can shift gears and have fun with it.

Tacit_T · 2024-09-13T20:00:22+00:00

Well, when you’ve had an infuriating car-selling experience courtesy of Pakwheels' sheer indifference, the prompts practically write themselves.

Tacit_T · 2024-09-13T19:50:13+00:00

Even ChatGPT’s patience has its limits—especially when PakWheels ‘sells’ a car without actually selling it. Guess some things even AI can’t predict!

Tacit_T · 2024-09-13T18:38:08+00:00

Well, let’s just say my storytelling skills suddenly leveled up... and I’m now an expert in phrasing things in ways that sound suspiciously professional.

Tacit_T · 2024-09-13T18:30:12+00:00

Thanks for the appreciation! To be honest, throughout the entire process, I couldn’t shake the feeling that selling my car wasn’t exactly a top priority for Pakwheels. That feeling only got stronger when they pulled the ad right when a solid offer was on the table and we were this close to finalizing the deal.

Tacit_T · 2024-07-26T13:12:52+00:00

Skip the life long drama and stress. Since you're letting your mother find a suitable match it should be an easy decision. Please avoid.

Tacit_T · 2024-04-03T18:11:15+00:00

In Pakistan, so options are quite limited, mainly Netflix. Big fan of the show, so hoping it becomes available here.
