But...

We need even more Sabine. She’s been great in both of her brief appearances this series and hopefully that continues next week. The trio should become a quartet next series.

I didn’t even know top gear had come back.

I haven’t watched today’s TG yet, I will say I disagree with you on Sabine. I really don’t like her on the show, I haven’t really liked any of her appearances. I wasn’t really liking Rory at the start of the season, but he’s grown on me; probably because they work pretty good together.

It has and it’s good. Very good. Plus unlike a certain other motoring show it’s about cars... and cocking about but importantly mostly about cars.

I should say I’m talking about this series’ appearances only and I’m gonna go out on a limb and saying your watching by the US schedule so the next episode you should see will be Rory and Sabine together which should make your reaction to the piece interesting indeed.

I’ve been watching them the day they come out, they’re pretty easy to find online. I didn’t like the piece on the ring at all. I liked his review up to that point.

Ah. Well considering next week is Harris Vs Sabine, I guess you’re not that up for that.

I’ll keep an open mind.

I’m a big Sabine fan. The thing about Sabine is she’s great on the show, when she’s not a presenter. When she’s acting as a presenter she’s nervous, uncomfortable, and her dialogue/monologue tends to fall flat. When she’s on the show as a hot shoe specialist it works. Unfortunately this means she probably can’t work as a regular, just someone brought in a few times per season to go fast and give the presenters motion sickness.

Watch her while she’s thrashing a Golf Club Sport on the Ring in today’s episode - pure joy! Then I’ll watch the Grand Tour as well.

I watched it last week, didn’t really enjoy that part.

That’s just because she made that M3 look like it was driving in reverse.

So, she was awesome in the Clubsport, but the way that segment was cut, with so many passes mashed together in such a short time, it almost seemed like it was all faked. Clearly, an experienced racing driver who knows the ‘Ring like the back of her hand is going to be a lot faster in a quick car than less experienced drivers will be, even in a very fast car, but the closing speeds she had on the straights on some of those cars just seemed hard to believe.

*I didn’t want Extra Gear for that episode yet.
