re: The Grand Tour Presents: A Massive Hunt - Stream is up now

I lost my shite when Clarkson was cleaning the interior of his Bentley and happily says “showroom fresh” and then it cuts to May’s mud slop-covered travesty

I enjoy the specials but mainly because I crave content from the 3 of them, to me the specials have grown a bit stale and I much preferred the show format with car reviews, car talk, etc., with that the content stays fresh with new cars. The specials all follow a similar format, Clarkson has something the most sensible, Hammond has something a bit wild, May has something obscure and always underpowered. I’ll watch every new special they produce and if that’s the content they want to make, so be it.

You can’t lie that watching Clarkson flog a new 2021 M3 while moaning about how terrible the grill is isn’t great television.

Good watch. I got some good laughs out it.

Is that really what the new M3 looks like? Woof. I liked the old days where the M's barely looked different than the base models. Just enough different that those who knew what they were looking for could tell.

Those poor natives getting their wedding held up by some rich limey in a gimmick car must have been so pissed.

I'd imagine people in that part of the world have a little more tolerance for delays than first world people.

Overall decent episode, but I agree that the "special" episode is not so special these days. They're fun, but I like cars, so I like the old format with news, reviews, lap times, etc. Top Gear's current iteration isn't too bad if you don;t compare it to what it was. I really like Chris Harris. His youtube channel is awesome.
