The Grand Tour - the magnificent three are back!

Post by Mars » Sun Nov 20, 2016 12:36 pm

Anyone seen The Grand Tour episode one? Fantastic! I highly recommend it, Clarkson and the boys are back in town, and on great form with a fantastic opener featuring some eye-popping car porn  8)

thought it was good, better than the usual top gear. of course, coupled with 3 hyper cars.. which might not be the case always..

Good, it sounds like it's on people's 'to watch' list! Mr Clarkson seems to have grown rather more portly, The Hamster seems be having a mid-life crisis and rocking designer stubble, and James May is looking more like Theresa May!
Was that really Carol Vorderman on the floor pretending to be deceased???!
Jo'berg next. Should be interesting, as I spent 5 years there as a child....

Agreed. Yes, that was a bit puzzling. They should have Chris Evans on; that would be interesting!

Great to see them back, fully agree that the 3 "stars" bit was a little cringeworthy but I guess as its American based now they think it's funny  ::)

I doubt if the inhabitants of Wroughton are over the moon with being the new base of the test track!
