** While filming for Drivetribe, he got so used to the crew prompting him to say “Like, comment, subscribe” that he took to repeating it anytime there was a lull in speaking. He has since started doing this while filming The Grand Tour.

Rant Inducing Slight is now a disambig.


* ForeignCultureFetish: For Germany. Not as potent as Hammond's for the USA but he has shown his interests in Germany more than once. He loves German cars (especially Mercedes), occasionally speaks in GratuitousGerman, likes airships, and has an interest in Germany's UsefulNotes/WorldWarII military. The only exception to this is [[RantInducingSlight The Nürburgring]].

* PutOnABus: She was absent from the first two ''The Grand Tour Presents'' specials, because since they dropped the studio format--and thus the Eboladrome as well--they didn't really need her anymore.

* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: He communicates with the on-screen presenters mostly through telephone text messages, though he will resort to using the display screens in the studio tent to get their attention. This is averted, however, with a cameo when the crew competes in a game of Football with the Columbian team.
