This looks like a recipe for disaster

So Clarkson & May have been spotted in a ‘strange’ vehicle which is likely going to be part of the next season of the grand tour, and looking at the images it looks like they are upping the level of ridiculousness for their vehicle build by strapping of all things a jet engine to a pickup

If that’s like most Jimnys, I hope theres something other than the original chassis and body mounts holding that thing together...

I hate to say it, but with how half-assed the boat bits seem to be attached and how heavy a jet engine of that size would be (and based on the last few seasons of OG Top Gear and the first season of Grand Tour) I can’t help but think this is going to be a faked segment.

I would have to agree with you there, it’s all they seem to be able to do nowadays

I don’t think that’s anything jet related. I think those tubes on the roof are on arms that come down to function as pontoons to keep the very narrow boat from rolling over.

the oil drums (blue and yellow) are definitely pontoons but the item in the truck bed area is highly likely to be some kind of jet engine
