Rory Reid has also been editor-in-chief of Recombu, for whom he wrote about Chris Evans in June 2015:

"Chris Evans, carrot-topped British DJ, has been announced as the new host for the next series of Top Gear. It's a logical choice; the man's a well-known petrolhead with an assortment of Ferraris to his name (mostly coloured white) and he's an excellent presenter with decades of experience presenting an assortment of high profile shows."

Half a year later, in February 2016, it was revealed that Rory Reid would join Chris Evans as part of the reporting team on Top Gear.
