I can’t understand anything he is saying either. I don’t feel bad though because I don’t think Jezza can understand much if anything that Gerald is saying either.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

It's been my go-to-sleep watch for a week or so, and I've enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Just wondering where Clarkson gets all of the money to run this farm as he's clearly not making much money.
Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.

On top of his Amazon contract (Grand Tour and this show), he's the current host of the UK's version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. He used write commentary columns for various print media as he's originally a journalist, not sure if he's still doing it. He's not hurting for funds though.
Would be interesting if they show his car collection in s2. All the TG/GT guys have their own collections of exotics and favorites, wonder if they keep them at off-site storage or, on their own properties.

Well, there's his personal RR which is shown regularly. An Alfa made a brief appearance & a lifter R129 SL has been seen a few times. Prop cars from the show, would be interesting to see his others, but doubt they're kept at the farm.
What a great show, fun and yet a peek behind the curtain. I agree startup costs are rough and he broke even this year but would likely be good in the next.
I hope they keep making the show, I've really enjoyed it.
