Grand Tour star James May says Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond are so out of date they are ready for the scrapheap.
Ahead of a new series of their Amazon show May mocked his fellow car nuts, who he has worked with since Top Gear.
The 58-year-old said: “It’s not difficult to be modern when with those two, because they are quite tweedy and entrenched.
"They do a lot of wandering around the countryside shooting at things and Hammond collects classic cars and wears his waistcoat, and I think Jeremy yearns for the return of the class system and probably hates the internet.
“Everybody thinks I’m a traditionalist, but actually I can’t stand all that stuff.”
May likened his efforts to modernise the views of Clarkson, 61, to “showing a dog card tricks” adding it is “pointless, but amusing at the same time”.
He added: “We are so different we shouldn’t really associate with each other. On paper we should hate one another but it works as a television show.”
Fans will see the trio race from Edinburgh to the Outer Hebrides in 70s US cars. And May said he wished he had met Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon.
He said: “She’s tough, good at speaking and believable, even though I find a lot of what she says a bit bonkers.”
The Grand Tour Presents: Lochdown is available from next Friday.
Meanwhile Clarkson's Farm is back for a second series - which will delight fans, who were left furious after Jeremy Clarkson suggested that the show wouldn't be returning.
Jeremy, 61, told viewers to "write to Amazon" if they wanted it to return as it wasn't set to come back.
The show, which ranked highly for the streaming giant, saw the former Top Gear presenter take on the challenge of running his farm Diddly Squat - which he has owned since 2008 - in the Cotswolds.
Fans quickly fell in love with the programme, though the presenter admitted that it was "expensive failure" after the farm made an annual profit of just £114 in its first year.
The second season will see Jeremy attempt to diversity and expand his limited agricultural knowledge under the watchful eye of his no-nonsense team.
