The Grand Tour: Son of a Ditch

Watched it yesterday.
Must agree it was MEH!
Felt a bit too much staged and not the free flowing between the three stooges.
Don't know, liked it but it was just not all there.

They did joke about the homos, but it didn't come across as homophobic.

Adam is an SJW, I would not waste my time.

Actually liked the Columbia episodes but it felt a bit rushed.For once the cars hardly broke down which takes alot of the humour out, as they aren't chirping at one another as often.

bothered me as well, cars all ran faultlessly, even the fiat panda, that is like an uno on stilts,
was sure that was going to break down endlessly, as most Italian cars often do.

even Hammond's monster truck that was just crass and unnecessary, more for rednecks in Alabama than off roading.
also why did they keep calling it the "Trump" truck? is this another subtle swipe at that man?

the Donkey scene, really wasnt called for, was actually quite disturbing,
the lengths they will go for a laugh, or a cringe.

Some people are actively looking for things to take offence at.

He probably watched the episode three times to check for what could be considered offensive .

Sigh old new articles:

WATCH: Jeremy Clarkson stunned by McLaren Senna’s acceleration

As anyone who’s watched the old Top Gear or more recent Grand Tour shows would know, Jeremy Clarkson has driven some insanely fast cars in his time, but it’s unlikely that any of them have pushed him back in his seat quite like this.

“That’s really alarming… I’m going to be sick” Clarkson said jokingly after going foot flat in the new McLaren Senna for the first episode of The Grand Tour, Season 3, released on Amazon Prime recently.

The hypercar got the loudmouth car show host from zero to 60mph (96km/h) in just 2.7 seconds, with the 300km/h mark coming up in only 18 seconds. There simply wasn’t enough space to reach full velocity.

These figures are not surprising, considering that the hypercar weighs little more than a midrange VW Golf, and is powered by a mid-mounted 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that shoves 588kW and 800Nm through the back wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

And sure, it’s not the prettiest performance car ever made - and that’s being kind - but that’s because the Senna’s exterior design was purposefully fragmented in order to optimise performance and aerodynamics.

Oh, and the McLaren Senna corners rather well too.

Although you don’t see the hot laps in this short YouTube clip, Grand Tour track guru Abbie Eaton did apparently break all previous Eboladrome records in this one, with a lap time of 1m12.9. Yes, that’s even faster than the Lamborghini Huracán Performante.

wasnt offended, just cringed with the donkeys, as was that really necessary?
you know the world works in weird ways, somebody will take that to heart and start a donkey dating site or something as pointless as that.
