The Grand Tour is kind of meh, and Top Gear is better than it has been in years.

This episode of Top Gear is right up there with the best episodes in the series’ history. Top Gear isn’t just better than the very mediocre Grand Tour right now, its right up there with the best its ever been in its history.

Except for the unneccesary destruction.

I couldn’t agree more. This trio was an injection of youth and change of formula that the show desperately needed.

Grand Tour Season 2 is so much better than season 1, which was meh. I am very hopeful for Season 3. Top Gear was getting to Clarkson-May-Hammond level chemistry only towards end of season 24 and now in season 25.

Yeah. That R34 was nice (as was the FD). Also that Friends reference at the end was awesome.

I never watched friends, so thank you for explaining that reference.

I never watched friends, missed that reference; apart from me missing that, it was fantastic. My favorite part was where they didn’t have a guest. My second favorite part was the rest of the show.

Also Rory has really grown on me, didn’t like him last season, but for some reason I’ve changed my mind this season.

I honestly thought Rory’s part was the best part tonight.

I’ve enjoyed his stuff this season, last season not so much. I thought he was too overbearing and too disingenuously excited, as if he were embellishing it too much. This season, he seems a little more subdued; it’s also possible they’ve had 3 seasons to work out how to work with each and tailor each film to fit the presenters strong suits. Don’t know what it is, but I’m really enjoying Top Gear.

It is the only opinion that matters on this subject.

Yeah, no guest was great. It’s rare that I liked the guest segment (Jeff Goldblum, for example, was a fantastic guest, and whenever they would have a party for a new car, those segments were great).

You had me at 962.

Street legal real 962 on a Japanese mountain road.

Just finished watching the episode. And yes, the 962 was glorious. The only possible way to top that would have been driving a 787b on the road (not sure there are any of those in private hands).

That hope was there, still wasn’t disappointed.

Make one. Enough 13Bs still around, steal the blueprints, hostage a NASCAR constructor...there you go, your own 787B.

Agreed. I love Clarkson, May and Hammond, but Grand Tour has not been very good this or last season with a few rare episodes and skits.

The new Top Gear, with Matt, Harris and Reid has become better to watch, good chemistry and just more energy.

Best place to watch this if you don’t have cable? Just download the torrent or is there actually some place that has it?
