Once You Go Black...

It's been a tumultous time at Top Gear since I last posted. It's been a wild ride, pardon the befitting metaphor. From the dizzying highs to staggering lows, we experienced it all.

And it's all because of this man resting peacefully. Or rather because he was replaced. But life goes on, and I suspect the moment Top Gear becomes mundane and uncontroversial is the moment it truly doesn't become Top Gear. That day we might as well return the license to BBC.

To Mike, one of the finest people I have ever worked with, probably the best real boss I've ever had, thank you for the memories and the faith. I won't let you down.
