I personally found this weeks episode boring and couldnt wait for it to end. Having said this there is one piece that I always enjoy, Conversation Street, I think this shows the 3 as they really are, yes a lot of it is scripted but I really enjoy them chatting

Did you watch it to the end?

I enjoyed it, i love the recent May segments think he's really good at those sort of pieces.

The hot hatch section dragged a bit.
I kinda got the feeling that they also knew it wasn't a strong segment by having to break it up and keep going back to the tent for an explanation of what happened next.

I'm really liking this series. It's great fun for a rainy Saturday afternoon sofa sesh.

Clarkson actually made a 5 part series of David Souffle lol

I quite enjoyed as my Mrs is looking at the new St. It's amazing how much of a difference the dsg makes (almost too much of a difference) would have been interesting if it was the manual gti as they increase the power to makes it the same acceleration (sounds crazy but I read it on wiki, and a guy I work with mentioned it).

Yea I'd still much prefer a manual in a hot hatch. I suspect on a track the Yaris would still be quicker though (without May driving ofc).

Why would you need instructions?

Yeah, the videos they're talking about are all on YouTube. May's really has the most views.

Clearcut · 20 Mar 2019 at 08:54

I remember watching May's a couple of months ago in total bewilderment.

Was decent for a mini special, the track segment wasn't great and they could have padded it out with more of the places they visited.

Is next week the last episode?

Really enjoyed this episode. Made me laugh quite a few times.

I'm now getting back from work on a Friday and sticking this straight on, which is unusual for me in respect of Grand Tour.

The Putin fans won't like this episode

Did anyone else notice all the scratches at the front of that Bentley after the "modification"?!

Yes, I thought that.

The episode did have me laughing a lot though, particularly turd petrol causing skid marks. Hammond's jugs being smashed by a Russian clock leaving him with just a ring had me laughing. Scripted I know but absolutely hilarious.

Yep, looked a right state.
Good episode that, quite a few proper laughs and some great shots throughout.

Does anyone else get the feeling that he may well have **** himself when that Aston spun, I'd have thought the electronics would have stopped that.

Ryan-3 · 24 Mar 2019 at 09:19

Bare in mind that he could powerslide the Aston before the traction control was switched fully off, I wouldn't expect too much of the electronic systems.

Jono8 · 24 Mar 2019 at 09:21

Clarkson's well oiled bottom comment made me lose my ****.

Probably intentional. Some sporty RWD cars are like that. The TC will stop you from spinning, but not sliding a bit.
