I've been watching these guys for 15 years and to be at the end of the road is very sad and sentimental.
It's quite amazing they were able to get 8 more years on Prime. It's one of the shows that is a must watch for me and never missed an episode. It's actually the main reason I initially joined Prime.
These guys never disappoint and although it is the same schtick it never gets old with their comradery and comedic adventures around the world.
This last adventure was one of the more poignant and sentimental show endings I can remember.
They will be missed greatly by me.
The ending song couldn't have been more perfect from the album All Things Must Pass.

Growing up watching them is what sparked my love for cars. Their adventures together have been unmatched, and over the past 22 years, they've crafted an incredible story. Now that it's come to an end, I'm left with both tears and an overwhelming sense of emptiness. I had been looking forward to this special more than anything else in my life, and it was breathtakingly beautiful. I honestly don't think there could've been a more perfect farewell. The cinematography, the humor, the bond between the three of them-it was all so magical. For me, this wasn't just the best motoring show; it was one of the greatest cinematic experiences ever. And to answer James May's question-yes, you really did make all of us incredibly happy.
The final episode of The Grand Tour hits differently when you've had it as a backdrop to your life since you were a child. For someone who grew up with these 3 as almost constant voices in the background, it's not just about the cars, the adventures, or even the jokes-it's about the familiarity and connection they've fostered over the years.
This episode was stunningly cinematic with the African setting adding a layer of grandeur that felt like a love letter to the series and its fans.
I sat there, watching as the names scrolled past in end titles, letting the moment stretch on, even as the end titles began to show languages I don't understand. It wasn't about the words anymore; it was about holding on to the last traces of something that's been a constant presence for me as long as I remember.
Wishing good health, endless joy, and the freedom to keep chasing whatever wild dreams lie ahead.

Certainly ending on a high note, just some great moments and pure entertainment from start to end
Perfect last location with plenty of moments to relish in, one last time.
From the buttons joke to the 'outake' d**k head joke there's definitely some authentic and laugh out loud jokes that will be remembered along side moments such as 'which arm have you broken' and 'oh these are the weapons' (IYKYK) that have given me such joy over the years
Thank you for the the funniest and iconic jokes/ moments ever, that still to this day don't get old. I'm now 21 and have gratefully grown up with this perfect trio.

There's no real surprises in terms of format, and the jokes hit with a slightly worn out, but somehow very comforting familiarity. Zimbabwe is beautiful, but this episode is less about this specific journey, and more about the one they've been on together for over 20 years.
At first it's just a few moments where you see the guys' thoughts trail away to memories, but as the trip progresses the atmosphere of it all ending slowly takes over the wheel. You find yourself gradually joining in that feeling, almost as if you were there all along... and if you're of a certain age, you pretty much were.
If you're of that certain age, the final moments will resonate in a way you may find surprising... for your certain age. ;)
Thank you all for the memories - yes, you did bring us happiness. All the best. <3.
