die hard doonhamer Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Anyone still watch this? Have to say I’m really quite enjoying this second Clarkson, May & Hammond free series. Harris, Reid and MLB are pretty good to watch. True petrolheads and a bit less of the stupidity of Clarkson etc I think it's been brilliant. Really enjoying it.

D.A.F.C Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I hope they keep the same format and presenters, this is better than the old top gear has been for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 It's still a little disjointed and forced in bits, but strangely that almost actually adds to the charm a little bit considering who these guys are and where the show came from since the Evans shit-show. I still feel they're under-using Rory a little bit (does anyone even bother with Extra Gear?) but overall I'm quite enjoying it and will certainly continue to watch both this and TGT.

I would agree about Rory seeming a little under-used, as it’s apparent that Le Blanc & Harris have the better on screen chemistry, but I feel that’s where Extra Gear comes into play giving Rory the airtime and platform to be his full-on car geek self. However, personally, I can’t say I’ve found Extra Gear all that great or interesting to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 I love it, really like how the presenters have developed but I like that the show isn’t really about them anymore, the last few series with Clarkson & Co had little real content beyond them fucking about. I like that it’s gone back to the cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I got bored with Grand Tour before the end of the last season and just can't seem to muster up the energy to click on the link to open Amazon Prime to watch this season. Top Gear, on the other hand, feels like it's been given a new lease of life and is a great hour of TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeefc1783 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Watched new series of Grand Tour and switched it off. Same old jokes and same old format and it’s just boring as f**k now. And Hammond ain’t half looking rough. As many other have said really enjoying Top Gear. Just seems a lot fresher than the grand tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something of a beastly nerd about Chris Harris. Grand Tour got really lazy very quickly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghPar1975 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Really enjoying the new series. It'll take a bit longer for it to be 'smooth' but I think it's back on form on the main. Sabine is nuts and is used really well now. Le Blanc just seems to love cars and is genuinely funny, the segment with the NASA plane was crazy and as for the tractor in the last episode...
