Did Top Gear/Grand Tour Inspire a Generation of Overlanders?

[Mr_Mnml_Engnr]

I just watched the final grand tour special, where James May, Jeremy, Clarkson, and Richard Hammond embark on a gorgeous trek through Zimbabwe. And it occurs to me, that for me at least, these specials they’ve done across the globe…taking unlikely cars on adventures, modifying them for the task, enduring hardships and challenges in good company…it’s what has drawn me to the idea of overlanding! More than the regular episodes with games and celebrities, the SPECIALS have always been my favorite part of their programming, and now having grown up to go on my own adventures, it compels me to ask….how many of you did Jeremy, James, and Richard inspire? How many of you do what you do here because you wanted to be like them when you grew up?

Thanks for enduring my ramblings…
