I'll watch Rat Race and have a shot of vodka in his honour. But in fact it's just an excuse to watch Rat Race, not that I need an excuse to watch Rat Race, it's fucking amazing and I watch it every few years anyway.

RIP dude from Smash Mouth

This was my introduction to Gary :olol:


That and a childhood filled with AOR/Classic Rock radio. I've got really good memories of listening to Love Is Alive in college too.

Rest in peace to the best Top Gear corner!

And even though the show died in 2015, he'll always be remembered though his corner.
