Jambomo Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Passed a Giulia today in Newcastle. It really is a thing of beauty. The guy driving it was showing off a bit though. as he slowed down just before entering a tunnel so he could put his foot down going through it to let everyone hear the roar of the engine. You would though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David W Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Really enjoyed Sunday's episode. Keep up this formula and they've got a winner; a better programme than the scripted dross which is the Grand Tour (did I really watch an episode of that where they just drove around some sand for an hour?). Unfortunately think quite a few people will never be convinced out of sheer stubbornness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I think the difference with this series is that the three of them are clearly having a whale of a time in their dream job and that enthusiasm shines through. Clarkson et al, and probably also Evans, have become such hackneyed old stagers that there's not been anything new for them to do for years and they're stuck in their own personal Groundhog Day. Certainly that's the impression I get when comparing TG to the GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 As a bit of a petrol-head in my younger days and a massive fan of the VW Golf, I absolutely loved that segment with Sabine in the Club Sport Golf tearing up supercars for arse paper round the Nurburgring.Found Tamzin Greig boring and very annoying though.

Found Tamzin Greig boring and very annoying though. Loved the Sabine segment too. Matt throwing the waiter's script away made me laugh and for some reason I'm enjoying the bits where Matt seems very keen on agricultural machinery. Didn't mind Tamzin, tbh. Quite liked when she just stopped in the middle of the lap, although they ended up dragging that out too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyle Lanley Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Another good episode. I'm enjoying this far more than Grand Tour. Sabine though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eckthearab Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Didn't manage to see whole of Sunday's show but I did enjoy what I did see. One criticism would be that the first segment with the Aston an Merc maybe went a bit over the top but was still on the whole enjoyable. Can only see this getting better, fingers crossed.

I really liked the Aston bit, mainly because the Aston is a lovely car and Matt Le Blanc has lovely legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Is it wrong that I enjoyed both the new Top Gear and The Grand Tour? I do enjoy the idiotic humour of Clarkson, May and Hammond, even if they are covering old ground but at the same I'm hooked on the slightly more serious approach that Matt, Chris and Rory are taking on the new Top Gear. I definitely think there's room for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Overall, got to say that this season has been great fun and I've even warmed to Chris. Not even the appearance of Jay Kay in the final episode could spoil it for me. But when he says his new album is #1 all over the world, that's only true if all over the world equals Italy.

David W Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 They were always going to struggle coming off the back of the Chris Evans dross but this whole season was very watchable and they didn't need to resort to racism or childish jokes to make it so. Cuba the highlight for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Cuba was great. Kazakhstan was fascinating. Vegas to Sierra Nevada was my pick of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviClyde Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Apparently the viewing figures dropped over the Season, which I find quite strange. The chemistry between them certainly improved over the piece and the whole thing was relaxed viewing to me. Easy to watch with enough action to keep most petrol heads happy, I would have thought, and none of the manic irritation of Clarkson & Co Low point of the Season had to be Jay Kay - what a smug git. It was so satisfying that he failed to beat Chris Hoy. Roll on next Season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
