John is obviously the true gigachad amongst all these cars. None of the others can boast the same achievement as John...
I named my Honda after John, solely because of the amount of sticky situations he’s gotten me out of. John (from the show) was a truly wonderful machine.
John jumping with enthusiasm, and swimming to victory, will always be some of my favorite moments
John is the true best car
Built by them and carry the 3 buffons
Hammond is wrong
Maybe is because he drive it a lot
Was honored when they named it John, because Johns are dependable. Was heartbroken when it lost in the first round. That truck was brilliant. Truly a shame that it had to be destroyed.
Of course John is amazing but never forget the first guy, Geoff
JOHN?! You eliminated JOHN?! He was such a nice, dependable chap! He hopped his way into our hearts…
They didn't let him drive it 😂
Watching that special I can see why he didn’t choose it I as a viewer I would choose it but him as the one who had to experience it I don’t blame him
John was more of a team car too. Not just Richard’s. Wonder if that played into his decision.
@@eradaalmasi7590Am sure he drove it . He just doesn't remember it 😂
John was such a rare creature
The Mongolian adventure remains my most-watched Grand Tour episode and John was a big part of the appeal.
It seems the most honest one to me. There were no skits, no camera trickery--just the boys facing genuine hardship on a real adventure.
I've watched John scamper up hills at least 20 times
I think Ive genuinely watched it about 5/6 times so far lol. Its probably my favourite special out of both Top Gear and GT. It easily put Mongolia on my bucket list of places to visit. What a magnificent episode and country.
Totally agree. Best special across both shows.
Same here
I'm shocked that John wasn't in the top 2... the Mongolian special is our all-time favorite. Story, cinematography, the journey, everything was just great.
Ah but he didn’t get to drive it.
@@historytank5673He drove it . He just doesn't remember it
John gets my vote because he was hilarious to watch at times - especially bouncing up the hills.
Although John is no longer with us, his spirit lives on as the best vehicle in the whole show
Hammond gotta be the only guy to say "if you've just joined us" towards the end of a youtube video. That's some classical film and radio training right there.
As soon as he called it Martin, the competition was over! I hope Martin and Oliver are very happy together in his garage.
John was a legend. No other vehicle could have gotten through what John went through, having to deal with those 3 goofballs.
John was the only car who kept the trio and theirs nonsense all through out mongolia, he had heart and soul, and hopped over our hearts.
"If you've just joined us"
A tv presenter to the core ❤
I'm still shocked at how Richard made it thru Mozambique. Physically it looked torturous
I don't think there's a human in existence that has more trouble trying to grasp a knockout tournament bracket than Hammond
Never heard the word "quarter finals"
@@Mattexe77 Quarter Finals is absolutely a thing
@@lalnablehector1285 yes I was saying Richard doesn't
My favourite car you’ve driven on the Grand Tour has to be the Subaru from the Scandi Flick. Such a stunning car.
I gotta say that the STI had some sort of charm to it that makes it my favorite out of the bunch.
John is my choice by a mile! That's my favorite episode ever
Same
Hopefully Jeremy will participate in DriveTribe videos next year, maybe he’s busy. But even just a quick 5 min q&a would be great…
I do think he is a bit preoccupied with the farm stuff but maybe
I wish James and Jeremy would do these videos aswell! Both for TopGear and Grand Tour.
The Focus was a brilliant build. Unfortunately it didn't work as well as it could have. Loved the tank in Dubai 😂 The Dodge Demon and Hellcat seemed to give you a great smile factor.
It is definitely awesome to see the difference between what most fans think and what he feels. We all loved John!
Richard is the reason for my love of wrx's. From the africa special 'heart of the nile' i said I am gonna go get one of those for myself and I did.
Really fun comparisons!! Iove the shows with James, Jeremy and yourself. Always a great time! Round of Eight, Quarter-Finals, Semi-Finals, Finals.
Congratulations Martin... One of the best cars ever...
Come on Richard
It's round of 16
Then quarter finals
Then semi finals
Then the final
John and the Mongolian special remains my absolute favourite adventure that the boys have done.
This was the video I've always imagined I wanted to see because the series is coming to an end next year and would love to see the other 2 join the trend as well !
Fantastic video, but we're partial to Fury. As a matter of fact, is that a little Fury diecast on your shelf right behind the motorcycle at 2:22? ...next to a little diecast of the MBG GT that you race?! That's so cool! I wonder if anyone else would want one of those? (We might have even made them). :) Love ya, Richard! Keep the DriveTribe videos coming! -Vic and Johnny, FH
Congratulations ‘little’ Subaru 🚙💨❤
well deserved👍✌️
Like a mother giving birth, you unpacked, assembled, drove and coerced it as it essentially delivered you from the middle of nowhere. Respect!
I'm glad to see Martin made it out the champ. As an original owner of a USDM 2004 STi , black with gold wheels (first year in the US). I still look at it lovingly as I walk out my house to get in to my work-issued boremobile every morning.
Don't ever sell it! I sold mine in the UK and have regretted it ever since... (Black 2004, Sti PPP Type UK, gold rims replaced with black with diamond cut edges).
@@gppowis no worries I plan on keeping it forever. Mom has a 2002 bugeye auto wagon in WRB with gold Prodrive P1s, we love our subies in this household
the Subaru is such an amazing car , I absolutely loved it from the special and it makes me really happy that Richard actually bought and still drives it
The truck over John?! That’s sh**!
#justiceforjohn
wish Richard would start doing car reviews on this channel again, or just documenting stuff
Definitely!!!
Happy to see the WRX on top, i have mine for nearly 10 years now and it got to a point where it felt.. maybe it was time. But rewatching the show and the followup 'rebuild' of the car, i just smile each time i sit in the car again. No, it aint a STI (though it got the exhaust and spoiler), but for me it remains 1 of the most beatifull cars ever build. If i only i would give it more 'care' :(
Happy New Year DRIVETRIBE !
i wish you lot of customers and that everything works out well.
i would love to see all 3 of you together again even in a pub just for talk.
I must be the only guy that really liked that old Cornbinder from the RV challenge...as a farmer, I've got a massive weakness for those old IH's.
Not at all. I'm a townie and it was my favourite as well.
3:00 Hammond slips back into his natural Brummie accent!
The Scarab was so awesome! I looked up its Sale in Florida when the Special came out, had new engines and new drives, a real dream machine.
hands down ,JOHN.
Haha, I'm with you Richard. I saw that outcome before I even clicked on this video! Absolute legend of a car! Well deserved winner!
This is brilliant. Do it with May too.
So proud to be an Impreza owner right now
Loved this, could you do the same with Jezza and Mays cars? Asking for a friend :)
3:15 hammonds like im fien please dont cut off my pants
I think we all knew at the beginning it would be Martin. However, I agree with the comments that it should have been John.
Would love to see the others do this
Fantastic, really enjoyed that
I have a 2014 STI hatchback, and I absolutely love it.
That last sentence made me think of my first car, a Toyota Carina E 1992, with 2l engine and 5 speed, man I miss that car...
John or Martin were always my top picks. John quite literally hopped his way into getting you some alcohol, and Martin, well i don’t think there was any other car you had quite as much fun in as Martin
That turned out exactly as I expected 😂. I've owned an STI of that generation and sold it during the pandemic for more than I paid for it. Got my 57 Bel Air, which was a dream car of mine, but have recently considered selling it for an SSR.
yeah. cool watching this having exactly the same (hatch etc) looking impreza sti spec c jdm, but 02c.
Between Geoff and John, it's hard to decide. Definitely tough to decide between Bolivia and Middle East. I believe the best moment is probably the big dramatic entrance after his injury. All the dancing girls and everything. You were absolutely staggered.
I can't get over how tiny Hammond looks next to the SRT Demon.
Hamster living up to his namesake.
Never thought that the SSR would make it to the final
I'll be honest: I would have bet all my money on John, but it didn't even make it past the first stage. I understand it might have been a miserable experience, but the Mongolia special was just glorious.
“I think they were a bit disappointed” is peak top gear energy.
I want to see more of these from all of you guys and more foodtribe
I would love to meet Hammond. He's such an awesome person
Buick Riv gets my vote, fell in love with it back in the day watching Due South!
Really enjoyed watching that.
Richard explaining the Mongolia special to me, a man whos watched the Mongolia special 657 times
I love how he says if you just joined us like it is a live tv show.
Richard Hammond, really hoping to see you again on the show with Jeremy and James!
What happened to John? He’s my favorite vehicle you’ve built/driven
Scrapped after they couldn't ship it back
Martin was the correct choice as a long time lover and now owner of a WRX but honourable mention for John!
Semi times Semi = Quarter Richard. Thanks for the video!! Get your buddies to choose theirs!!
That Focus RS build would have been awesome to see in some snow... terrain that those tracks are actually designed for
Agreed. I wondered if they didn’t have a more proper set of treads available for that terrain or they were chosen more for comic potential.
@@jondomachowski1915 Definitely for the comic potential
GT winner ..John, TG (at its prime) winner ..Oliver both showed true grit!
We have had 14 rounds of "Semi-finals" all leading to 1 final. Fantastic.
There needs to be a grand final between Oliver and Martin the Subaru!
Thanks team for another video
Can you restore the Buick Riviera soon? it looks so awesome and it gives me massive Due South nostalgia, because one of the main characters of that show had a green 72 riviera for the main vehicle.
As Richard said: it's such a great representation of that car maker at that time that I imagine there must no temptation to seriously modify, only restore/replace. So it could be a smooth operation.
Hammond is still so young how can you end grand tour with just another special, come on drivetribe just have Richard doing grand tour alone I will watch it
I think we can all agree it should have been 'An Epic Hunt'.
thank you for the video
keep them coming :D
John would win it for me, the other cars were great, but John.........is just John. Such an epic episode, an epic adventure, with a car that should of probably not succeeded but did.
I was sensing from the beginning that the Subara was going to win this, the way he spoke about it said it all.
The fact that John went out in the first round....I can't even take you seriously anymore!
Nice tournament!
I think it's a good choice that Subaru won.
I think that Matra Murena is also interesting. I like that type of car.
The Chevrolet SSR doesn't look too serious, but it looks fun.
Here here,Martin! 👏👏
I think it’s interesting to see this. There’s ones you assume Hammond pretended to like for TV, but didn’t actually like. But here it’s revealed he actually at least kinda liked them (the Maserati for example, or the Fiat X1/9)
I'm surprised they they never had a Plymouth Prowler on top gear or grand tour.
John, sober hamster was brilliant!
Seems like you guys forgot the iconic episode with the Rimac 😅😂
Great video just wish you made it longer and went further back
We need one of these videos with all 3 now that it's all over!
2 more final episodes have been filmed and will be released next year.
@@AtheistOrphan I know, but it's still not enough!
And now onto the Semi Finals!
I LOVE these videos! ❤️
I loved John and the Mongolia Special, it was the best ever! However, we forget Richard wasn't allowed to drive John....the Beach Buggy was my 2nd fav
Mongolia and John are the best episode for me after the top gear Toyota destroy challenge.
If looking for direction to take the buick riviera check out the Crusher Impala on Roadkill.
A wonderful worthy winner 🏆
Why not do it when the next specials have been released
John out in the first round? What an upset... what insanity!!
😮Martin seen paying the judge to eliminate his only challenger John 😂😂
I was suprised for some choices. But still think it would be great for a new Grand Tour that they choose each others cars.
Top spot definitelt should have gone to John and I think tbh that episode would have made an excellent finale to the Grand Tour - one last epic journey, car that was built ‘by the lads’ and most importantly all together in the same vehicle having banter together instead of across the radios
john 💯 toughest lil vehicle i ve ever seen ✔
Is that the Lego mustang on the shelf? My wife got me one as an anniversary present last month (it’s my dream car) and it was such a jot to build, with the attention to detail inside. Especially love the dodge charger silhouette in the mirror
Havent seen all these yet, currently watching daily , hope this doesn't spoil it too mich
