The "The Grand Tour" Thread

[Craig_]

And still nobody really cares...but hey, if you entertain yourself and enjoy making these posts, go for it. Just remember, less people may find it funny than you actually think...but you don't care, do you - well knock yourself out. At least next week it is the last episode. Then we'll have a break from these silly posts, until the new Top Gear starts...sigh.

Dude, this whole thread is light hearted, and all his posts are in the same vein. You are actually pissing in the drinking water a bit at the moment. No offense meant.

Flippit! Thanks for the reminder FST. I started the download at 6am and completely forgot about it. Stopped it now, it had already seeded 6GB!!! That's 12GB of traffic for a single 1080p episode.

Edit : The day is far from over and I already did this.

Might I suggest one of these... https://www.makro.co.za/baby-toys-a...JvnlnKG_ltKk3TJh7ZvJ5TzO3kiNcR1BoCGk8QAvD_BwE
The mood you improve by not falling out of bed in the morning could be your own.

Lolz, he may also need a top cover to prevent him throwing his toys out the cot each time FiST mentions his SD copies.

You must be fun at parties.

My plesier Grand Tour is one of the few things where most of the peers are local once it starts seeding

Edit : And in keeping with the tradition of totally unrelated non-car download bable prior to the actual watching, a sneak peek at the chapters in this weeks episode as seen while doing an H265 compression.

Here’s an idea, as you don’t like this thread why not go and start a new one? call it “wazup’s tantrums and tears, a humourless and factual look at Grand Tour”.

Then you can be all alone in your miserable thread rather than being miserable and spoiling this thread.

Lol I mean the direct rival for this two is the upcoming Velar SVR. They could have used the latest RR Sport SVR also. Guess the Velar is new & a proper looker & of course British so it was included in the comparison.

RR Sport is a size up on the other 2 though... and competes more closely with the Cayenne.

Hey Dave! I was waiting for you...FiestaST's biggest fanboy...guess what? Your silly little idea is stupid! :crylaugh:

 

[sox63]

The Model X review with the lawyers is a laugh!!

They REALLY didn't want to be sued again

I’m no ones fan boy, just don’t like idiots crying about what other people post in a thread they don’t have to read. I’m pretty sure your presence won’t be missed in a thread you’ve barely participated in (other than to sulk and post crap to spoil the lightheartedness of the thread).

You don’t like the way a thread is going then get out the thread, some n00b with 221 posts doesn’t arrive and start acting like they own the place.

There’s the door ————->

don’t let it hit you in the backside on your way out...

Bwahaha nailed it!

 

[Rouxenator]

Ah, the door yes. This afternoon we developed a nice way to tell people to vark off. We ended with "Kindly fornicate in a direction away from me".

Listen boet, you keep on hammering about my post count, I don't give a sh*t about your 31k posts on here, it does not make you better than me. Anyone is entitled to voice an opinion, regardless of post count. I don't know what you think post count means, other than showing how much a person comments in the forums, it is not like a pilot's flying hours or a soldier's number of medals, for pete's sake.

I also don't give a sh*t if my presence is enjoyed or hated or missed...and for the record, you telling me off like that, is hypocritical, because you are doing exactly the same as me - voicing your dislike of a post, instead of keeping quiet.

You don't own this thread, you are not the police, so I will stay on here and comment as much as I like, it is the internet FFS.

I don't have a problem with the lightheartedness of the thread in general, I do find FiestaST's weekly "declaration" on his download annoying...he is the most active member on the Motoring threads, and everyone knows him on here...we all know he downloads and watches every episode religiously - so when he declares it so annoyingly, and even state his download size - which is USELESS to us and totally irrelevant to any of us (I mean, his opinion on an episode is relevant, that is why the thread is here - what does the quality of the copy he watched matter to us??), that becomes too much, and definitely does not do anything for the "lightheartedness" - in fact, other people have also chimed in and said the same.

And in any case, why chirp in when I addressed him? Keep your opinion to yourself - one would have thought that FiestaST himself would hit back at me - not a third party. Yet every week you lay an egg about my comments - and then you say you are not a fanboy of him? Ha!

You hit the door - do you also need fancy pictures to spot it? --------->

 

[wazup]

Bwahaha nailed it!

Bwahaha nail yourself for all I care...fanboy number two :crylaugh:

 

[wazup]

Hey Dave, my post count is now 224!!!! Stand on attention sir!

Thanks for the guidance Roux

@FiestaST

I have decided to download and watch a 435MB HD copy from Terrarium, I shall report back later as to the quality of the download.
