Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond are back! Ok, that’s not entirely true. The former Top Gear hosts are filming their new motoring show for Amazon Prime. The always-quotable Clarkson recently posted a photo to his Twitter account showing him flanked by both May and Hammond, with the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, and Porsche 918 Spyder lined up side-by-side behind them. The photo was accompanied by a message from Clarkson saying that filming for their new motoring show on Amazon Prime has just begun.
There are still no details on what the new show will be called (although "Gear Knobs" is one rumor), or when it’s going to premier, but seeing the boys back together is reason enough for Top Gear fans to get excited. Judging by the photo, it appears the three won’t have any problems getting auto manufacturers to lend them cars for the new show, even though they don’t have the BBC’s wallet to call on.
