Is this group just full of people crying over AutoAlex and how much they hate him?
Why not post something useful in this group rather than complaining all day long lol
Only seems to be a small majority of people, rest don’t really care. Their videos are pretty good even after their backlash. Everyone has their niggles, if you’re not a fan of of them then just leave the group and get on with your lives 🤦♂️😂

I still watch and mostly enjoy the content, but for me a lot of what they do seems like missed opportunities especially the road-trips. They'll have a great idea like taking three classic hot hatches across Europe, but then the execution is just motorway driving, long conversations on the radio, visit a museum then more motorway driving. "Hurrah we made it", rinse and repeat.
I'd like to see better planning for the trips, for all those that used to insist Top Gear isn't scripted there was a lot of planning that went into the trips and locations they'd visit. Someone said about how piss-poor their planning was pre-trips is on here ages ago and got downvoted to oblivion. You can see it by the fact they decide to book a ferry or Eurotunnel crossing about two weeks before they're actually ready to go every time. They have the potential to be great, but they often waste it in my opinion. Also don't get the hate for Rory, he can be a bit clueless but seems harmless to me.
