The name of the new Amazon show by former BBC Top Gear presenters, Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond of course. First a little background. A little over a year ago, the BBC fired Jeremy Clarkson after he got into an altercation with some worthless screw up of a producer. Fellow presenters James May and Richard Hammond resigned, along with producer Andy Wilman.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, the BBC was basically raked over the coals and spent months trying to find some sort of replacement for Clarkson, May and Hammond. The new presenters, some Hollywood actor and a few nobodies from Britain and Europe, hasn\u2019t aired yet and from what people are saying, is probably going to fall flat on it\u2019s face.<\/p>\n<p>There was a great deal of speculation on what the Three Wise Automotive Men were going to do. What they did was initiate a bidding war between Netflix and Amazon.com to create a new streaming car show. Amazon won the bidding and the new show is now in production. However, there was a small problem. No one had come up with a name for it&#8230;until now. Here are the details from Fox News:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>We can finally confirm that the new show starring former &#8220;Top Gear&#8221; hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May will be called &#8220;The Grand Tour.&#8221;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shocked-face.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20636\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shocked-face-300x225.png?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"shocked-face\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shocked-face.png?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shocked-face.png?w=400&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>The new show will premiere this fall on Amazon Prime and is already being billed as a &#8220;Top Gear&#8221; rival.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/eye-roll.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18582\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/eye-roll-292x300.jpg?resize=292%2C300\" alt=\"eye roll\" width=\"292\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/eye-roll.jpg?resize=292%2C300&amp;ssl=1 292w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/eye-roll.jpg?w=300&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 292px) 100vw, 292px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Some rival.
