Description "And on that bombshell, it is time to end. Thank you so much for watching. Goodnight."

.... And those, are the last words of the end of quite possibly the greatest TV show ever: Top Gear (2002-2015), hosted by Jeremy "Gorilla" Clarkson (top), Richard "Hamster" Hammond (left), James "Spaniel" May (right), and not-so-co-hosted-but-is-the-mascot The Stig.

So yeah, most of you probably don't know that i'm a big fan of the show (and the presenters). And i don't want to talk about why it ended or an opinion on it's future either (since there's a ton of news about it if you googled it), but i want to share is this video..

That video made me realized how big the impact this show is to me, without even realizing it before. Simply put, this show revived my childhood's crazy love for automotives, packed with ridiculously funny comedy and beautifully filmed directions (a movie-like quality, even). Not only that, it's one of the few shows (if there are any) that makes you, as an audience, feel like you're there with them in everything - the studio segments, the car reviews, and the roadtrips. That alone, makes this show very special to me, it makes me like another mate to them. And i've been following them since 4-5 years ago... regrettably, if only i had known the show since it first came out, just to watch them grow into what they are now (even though i have and can rewatched all of the seasons anyway... except the first one, yet). And with them gone, i have no other shows that i can look forward/follow/eager/waited for anymore... like, "what else is there?". So yeah, knowing it's literally the end of their saga, i just figured i had to make a tribute to them as a thank you to them. Hopefully, the chaps came together again (a high possibility considering their very close friendship) and make something together.

So you might ask, "what's with the Queen's style composition?". I don't know, frankly. When i decided to make this, i instantly had this image in mind. The way i think about it, they're just in some way a rock-and-roll, like Queen. British, like Queen. Creates a big impact, like Queen. And left a huge legacy, like Queen. So yeah, i just felt its quite fitting.


.... And on that bombshell, it is time to end. Thank you so much for everything. Goodnight
