Seeing as I wasn't technically on any kind of trolley at the time, I suppose you were correct.
-
There is just something so real about Rory’s presenting - no ego, just a guy that loves cars. He deserves all his success.
-
For the life of me, I'll never understand how Rory and Chris didn't end up being the core of Top Gear. They should have offered them almost anything.
-
Rory Reid is fantastic, such a great writer and presenter, love his story and the honesty, his charisma shines thru on camera, such a joy to watch, hope he keeps making superb content!
-
Really loved this interview!! Top Gear's loss is Autotrader's gain!! There is not only talent to consider but endearment that is important.. and Rory definitely has that quality!! I've said it before and I'll say it again... Rory is The Don of Car Reviews!!👍👊
-
Definitely a great story teller!!
-
This video touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes, Rory. It's a powerful reminder of the impact our emotions can have. Let's embrace our emotions, pursue our dreams, and make a positive difference in the world. Keep spreading love and inspiration!
-
The sadness I had when Top Gear had gone through one of its many phases and it was apparent Rory was no longer on it was massively apparent, but the sheer delight on seeing him popping up on AutoTrader was immense! Keep doing your thing man!
-
Rory was actually my favorite in the TG reboot. Chris Harris was too serious, Matt was actually good, but Rory was more relatable to me. We're just going to ignore the Chris Evans era like it didn't exist. Big thanks to you Rory for entertaining us.
-
I got to know Rory because of Top Gear and I have loved him ever since. He really knows what he's talking about and tells it in the best way possible.
-
I genuinely loved seeing Rory on TopGear, not just because of his personality, and the joy he seemed to bring to his role, but as a huge lover of cars, to see someone who looks like you doing something you only wish you could do was/is inspiring. Continue making top shelf content! "If Clarkson and Idris Elba had a love child" ...BRILLIANT!!!
-
The first time I saw Rory on Top Gear I was smitten. He is clever, speaks from the heart and soulful, but also devastatingly authentic and articulate. There is an x factor that I have not seen in another presenter and it keeps me hooked. Thank you for sharing your manifestation and determination story. It is a reminder to keep the eyes on the prize no matter what obstacles come across your path.

What an insight into how RR got into TG by doing a poem for RR! You couldn't have made that one up! This may sound like cliche; fame is temporary, but class is permanent. Rory Reid is evidence of never giving up on your passion through self belief, and it is that very passion that shines through all his auto journalistic content. Keep representing the BAME with your unique creativity and personality RR! Congratulations!!

This gave me goose bumps this Rory, I myself was shortlisted for a presenting job at Auto Trader but in the end was turned down. I just relived every emotion you mentioned in this video! I also was down to the last 5 people for Collecting Cars, but again didn't make the final cut... Earlier this year I was selected for a TV show based on restoring cars, but it all fell through to a legality issue. However I will not give up and I will continue to strive forward! Peace and Love Tom

Richard, Jeremy & James had something no other presenter or group of presenters will ever have.
-
He might not have been the most polished presenter, but his passion and excitement was visible in every moment. Thats what Top Gear should be about.
-
Rory was the best To Gear presenter, they absolutely struck gold with him even if they didnt realise. Glad he's got the Autotrader platform now which suits him perfectly.
-
Properly enjoyed that...Rory you are an absolute talent.
-
ABSOLUTELY love this segment. This is so inspiring Rory. As an actor I know all too well going after a dream only you can see! Alex is so likable too. Congrats to both!
-
That Rolls Royce piece sent chills down my spine. Congratulations on your success Rory. I'm gonna go cry in the back. I'll be back after a while 😅.
