Moderately extreme...
I may be biased, because my interest in cars is almost exclusively about getting from A-B comfortably, safely and cheaply. I do like to see a nice and unusual car, but beyond that they are all overpriced tedium to me.
Also, it seems to me that we are likely well past 'peak car'. Increasing restrictions,( I don't think there's a single carriageway in Derbys that isn't restricted to 50mph) congestion zones/Low Emmission Zones the push for low carbon. Electric/driverless cars etc.
I'd say that what 'fun' remains will be increasingly restricted to Track Days and the like. Car ownership will become more the preserve of the wealthy again and in 30-50 years private cars as we know them, will have similar status to that now afforded to preserved steam locos.
As for TG. I doubt anyone will ever replace the Clarkson, May and Hammond triumvirate. They were a perfect foil for each other. Just a pity that Clarkson has a 'dark side', though I did like May's reaction to racism allegations against Clarkson. " He's not racist.. He's just a cock.."
