As the wheels come off over at Top Gear you can bet there are at least three men having a hearty chuckle – I don’t think I need to tell you who those are.

During the filming of their new Amazon show, Grand Tour, the former hosts enjoyed some not so subtle digs at now former host Chris Evans.

We’ll head to the Daily Mail for some dirt dishing:

Asked for his reaction that rival Evans’ catastrophic spell as host of the once popular BBC show is over, [James] May quipped: ‘Very chuffed’.

When Clarkson, at the wheel of an orange Aston Martin, was asked whether he had a message for Evans, he said, ‘don’t be stupid’, and tried to grab the camera… 

Crew working on their show claimed Clarkson intentionally staged the scenes of chaos in the stunning piazza [Piazza Dei Signori] as ‘a two fingers up’ to his TV rival, Evans.

‘Jeremy’s been trying to keep quiet about it, but he’s pleased as punch,’ one unnamed cameraman said.

‘He’s kept his mouth shut about Evans the whole time, and now Evans has hung himself by his own rope without Jeremy getting involved.

‘It’s ironic because Evans was a massive Top Gear fan, but he’s ruined it for himself by taking the top job job on the show.’

You can just picture that smug Clarkson face, can’t you?

 This is an older picture, but you imagine it looks something like this…

I’ll be sure to not watch either Top Gear or Grand Tour, as a show of my complete and utter indifference to either.
