This is nice to hear after finding out what an absolute boomer Jeremy is.

Clarkson has admitted that he knows his faults. He likes the sound and feeling of a car with a powerful engine. He doesn't like the over-computerized and "soulless" modern car.

What kind of car you like is one thing but does he understand that when he sits at a café next to a busy, congested road and blame the cyclists for the congestion that he's actually just factually wrong? Because I don't think he knows that. Jeremy Clarkson is fiercely anti-bicycle and until he says, in front of an audience, that he's wrong about this and will stop spewing vitriol at bicyclists, I frankly don't care about him.

I think a large number of people watch Clarkson's Farm to see Clarkson's egomaniacal ideas fail epically. Or how often Clarkson gets injured with dat farm life

He is learning a lot of hard lessons by attempting to run his farm, tho

While this is most certainly true. I think the show has really help showing the struggles farmers are going through on a daily basis, it's very easy to forget all the work that they put into growing our food etc.. Really opened my eyes at least.
