The Grand Tour

[MR E30 325is]

I did, and did a double take...a small chuckle.

Im actually more excited to see the older episodes of TG season 2-18.

Agreed.

I still have plenty of seasons of Top Gear to watch, so I balance out the Grand Tour with an episode of Top Gear every now and then.

- Can't buy 3 cheap cars and have 'the producers' hand the hosts challenges throughout a 'tour'.

I really hope that's not true. Those trips were my favorite part of the show, and I don't think they can carry a show with road trips and reviews of high end cars. I'm pretty take it or leave it on the other four bits you mentioned, although I feel like I'm the only person who didn't hate SIARPC. I found some of the guests to be interesting, even if I'd never heard of them.

ah ha! I have found a means to watch without prime.

Oh? I snagged a prime membership when they had it for $80, so I'm good for the year, but I'm still curious.

Program called kodi. Download it, literally search for anything you want to watch. It all seems to appear to be HD, top quality.

Anything from movies, tv shows , radio, sitcoms, etc

Oh, yeah, already have it. Didn't know I could use it for that though. Mostly I use it to get files from my laptop to play on my TV. I'll look into it.

I was kinda hoping someone in the audience or May/Hammond would ask about the heel...

but we could use some more Grand Touring, when the show is called Grand Tour. As long as they bring in more GTing, it'll even out I think. Rehashing of jokes not about cars over and over isn't a good precedent, hopefully that fades away.

It took getting to Episode 3, but as I said, hopefully we got more Touring. It was good, but again it could do without some of the things that were time fillers.

- Can't buy 3 cheap cars and have 'the producers' hand the hosts challenges throughout a 'tour'.

From the title of it, 'The Grand Tour', I was very hopeful that the new show would lose the audience and feature nothing but epic adventures around the world, such as the North Pole trip in the Toyota Hilux. Sadly, the 3 gents weren't thinking the same thing.

As I stated before, I agree. And the specials were the best episodes from TG, hopefully they can still have challenges with three cheap cars. Without producers adding challenges?

Second this, kodi changed my life.

Okay, currently watching #4, feels like old TG. Much better, at least the first half, than the previous three episodes IMO.

I laughed for a solid 5 min at james may's brick car falling apart on his head.

This is good.

I see even the folks who manage to make every car sound and look good on the screen haven't managed to make the new M4 sound like anything other than flatulence echoing down a thin walled metal tube.

Also;

This competition here now between these two cars is like a boxing match between an actual boxer, and someone who thinks they're a boxer because they're wearing satin shorts.

I think Jeremy's car was the highlight of that episode for me. It was just so, so wrong. And fucking hilarious.

[varg]

Very entertaining and endlessly quotable.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

The celebrity brain crash thing is getting really dumb though.

[Das Delfin]

I liked last week's episode more. But this was better than the second episode

The celebrity brain crash thing is getting really dumb though.

The theory I've heard is that they're using it as a placeholder for an interview segment, but they don't have the time to put it in this season.

James May had me in tears!
