"Former Top Gear host..." a quick plug for the [inferior] product?
Why not "TV personality" (he's done others beyond TGT/TG), or "[Popular] Automobile Journalist," or ...
BTW, does anyone here watch TG? I heard they had another season but damned if I can find anyone who watched it yet.

We watched the first five minutes of the first episode of season 2, and decided that watching paint dry would be more entertaining.
The Grand Tour however ... despite some weak parts it worked, and it was "Top Gear with a bigger budget and knobs on".

I gave Grand Tour away after they spent 3 days in a dessert and didn't refuel once. And as for the exploding celebrity, that gets old really fast.

Yeah, the dying celebrity got dull by about the first time.
But these things take a while to buff up to a polished program - I'm pretty sure series two will be better!

Ah, the eternal optimism of a techie. "The next version will be better." Riiiiight. 
Frankly the three of them seem to be getting a little long in the tooth.
I subscribed to Amazon Prime Video for that series alone and felt disappointed.
I hope you're correct, though. I do enjoy their cleverness when they're on their game.
(Yeah, mea culpa. I'm a techie and eternal optimist also.)

Ah but all these shows are scripted, even the shows on History like Pawn Stars.
Agree the exploding guest in Grand Tour is a fail, they were dicing with elements of Top Gear which they're not allowed to do and it failed, really hope S2 looses that.
Why GT is good: because it's Clarkson, May and Hammond being Clarkson May and Hammond.
Why TG failed: it's (?) and sometimes LeBlanc trying to be Clarkson May and Hammond [and failing big time].
(In LeBlanc's favour he is actually OK when he's allowed to be LeBlanc, the other guy though: not only is it: "who is he?" but concurrently "who is he trying to be?")

I watched an episode the other day. Looks as if they are trying to reproduce the old format with their new presenters. Didn't work for me.

That's what I don't quite understand... electric car and bursting into flames. Presumably the crash was so violent it ruptured the batteries?

I pestered the hell out my neighbour back in the 1960's to let me watch Batman on their colour TV.
I adored that show. (But not as much as Star Trek:TOS. I bugged them to let me watch that too. Come to think of it, I don't know why I didn't pursue adoption proceedings...)

[^] Family safe animated media content.
Dijcks discussing the technical aspects of these creations [^] :
Quote: You usually start with a few seconds of video footage. You then create a mask that reveals the motion only in certain parts of the image, with the rest being still. The motion is then looped so that it will continue endlessly. Although it’s possible to do the masking and looping in Photoshop, I prefer to use a dedicated application, called Flixel Cinemagraph Pro, that speeds up the whole process significantly. But you don’t necessarily have to start with regular video. You can also use time lapse footage, or, as in case of my wave cinemagraphs, animated stills. In those cases the process usually becomes a lot more involved, and you might need additional software. In my case, for example, I used After Effects for the animation.

I was out on the field flying. Met the farmer for the first time this year and the cows are back. The farmer's grandson got a crash course (pun fortunately not intended) how helicopters work. Smart little guy. Some blood sucking insect, more than an inch long, mistook me for a cow and paid with its life.
Tomorrow the weather will be good again, so I will probably head out there again. Perhaps I should leave a little present for the farmer. But what? A nice bottle of wine?

Write the same on your FB account and invite him on FB. Should be enough

Perhaps some hi-res aerial shots of his property at differing heights (if you have the gear for it.) You never know what might come of that.
