The new m5 and alpina b5 look amazing. Quite impressed by those cars.

They’re awesome, surprised they didn’t include the M5 Competition though.

Hmmm..... they usually do a good job(ish) of keeping the support vehicles and disruption out of shot when they're out and about.

This 300 meters of dead stood still traffic while they fanny about in a lay-by.... not so much

I spotted this too! Never noticed such a long queue of traffic besides when they've done it on purpose.

But there's an outside lane? Was everyone waiting to get a look at them or something?

Exactly. The same thing when a crash happens. Everyone slows down for a gander. Before you know it the butterfly effect kicks in and you have deadlock.

They may have just broke down while in traffic

I first thought the transporter at the front is a crew vehicle. Could be wrong though.

Just watching and have to say that has to be one of the best recent episodes. Felt like real classic TG

It's not, that's the other side of the road - cars passing the other way frequently during this bit of the episode.

That Transporter was just holding everyone up.

Not the best special ever but I enjoyed it and had some chuckles

Scotland always looks breathtaking no matter the show, honestly surprised they didn't go to the place the infamous Skyfall scene was taken as that seems to be a hot spot for photos and videos.

I believe that's Glen Etive, and it's quite a bit away from the NC500 route. The drive through Glencoe, which is near Glen Etive is something else also though, especially during the winter.

Did anyone else spot the cameraman legging it out of the way

FlapR · 1 Mar 2019 at 17:55

Enjoyed the episode but wasn't one of the best. Looking forward to next season where they just do specials.

Glanza · 1 Mar 2019 at 19:15

Enjoyed this weeks even though they've done the motorhome destruction derby before.

Lethal` · 1 Mar 2019 at 20:44

Did they use the same location for both solo breakfast scenes despite staying at different the nights before?

I did the NC500 on a bike last summer, following on from the Wild Atlantic Way. It was good on a bike but there's no way I'd have enjoyed it as much in a car. Too many narrow roads and no passing the Dutch and Belgian caravans.

I did it in June 17 in a Jaguar XF. It was absolutely fine in a car and the traffic was very light. Had a great time.

That's great. Perhaps you'd have enjoyed it even more on a bike
