The Grand Tour

[Mr. Burns]

I feel this is what happens when you give Clarkson full control.
they're flexing the budget and getting away from the meat and potatoes of the show.

god I miss when they were given a budget to buy a shitty car and have adventures with them...THAT'S the kind of show I was really looking forward to seeing again.

Shooting up stuff, saving the queen, a barebones review of an Audi S8 isn't cutting it for me.

The whole military "Shave the Queen" thing dragged on forever, ugh - boring
But I will give it a few more chances

all in all: 6.25/10

Remind me never go to S.Africa

FTFY

trust me, I'm from there and would never visit again

Oh and Grand Tour is lame, getting worse with each progressive episode. It's just a warmed over version of stale Top Gear. Jokes are just as ho-hum as they were on Top Gear

[MR E30 325is]

Overall impression after two episodes is slightly above "meh" but I will wait and see what the 3rd episode brings in. Even having the E30s spinning in this episode was just ok

Exact same boat for me. Was not overly impressed, and the military training stuff was laughable to say the least.

Definitely not enough car stuff in the episode.

And I am not a fan of Mike Skinner.

Hopefully episode three is better.

Remind me never to buy an E30 from S.Africa

I always fall asleep during Top Gear/Grand Tour episodes

[N2MYE30]

Ive fallen asleep on both...seriously. Maybe I ate too much this round. Ill catch up shortly.

[Mahalaleel]

I was really looking forward to the e30 bit... Turned out as a missed opportunity but we're probably the only twelve people who care. So far... It's OK. Not as good as the Bolivia special. I was hoping every episode would be like that.

[Kershaw]

I'll keep watching it, but they have to stop beating the jokes into the damn pavement. 1 time? Funny. 2 times. 2x as funny. 3 times? Haha! 4 times.. hmm. 5 times? uh.. 6 times? really? 7 times? I hope the next bit is funny. 8 times? ffs...

[Das Delfin]

I just wish they would chime in with some automotive specs- during the e30 scene, they didn't even mention "BMW" "RDW" "3-Series" "God's Chariot" "Trina" ;D

they referred to our cars as "elderly"

I'm really trying to give the show a chance, but I'm having a hard time even finishing the second episode. The military training nonsense is where I stopped. Do you have to be drunk to watch this stuff? So there are e30s at the end of the episode? Sigh.

I think I just hate television programming in general.

[varg]

That was pretty good. The classic Clarkson "review" of a very cool car was a thanksgiving treat.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

I like how they had May go to the south africa spinners nonsense. To this day i dont understand the point of it
