The Grand Tour (Clarkson, Hammond and May) - Amazon Prime

[Dixie Flatline]

About half way through "One for the Road" (which came out a few days ago). Still a great show to watch, but it does look like Clarkson is pregnant, his beer gut is so huge. Still has most of the tropes that we've come to know and love over the past few years with the three of them, but boy have they aged (especially Clarkson and May). They've made the right decision to stop the specials.

I watched it last night. Still wondering about the old cars they came across, from their Botswana special.

• Did they just randomly happen to be driving past them? Seems unlikely.
• Did the producers find out that they were there, and route the boys to drive past them? Possible.
• Did the producers track them down, and plant them on the route? Likely
• Did May & Clarkson know about them in advance? Unsure.
• What happened to Hammond's Botswana car?

Good time to end but what a journey. Been watching them for 20 years. From a £100 car challenge to Manchester and back to this. I still rewatch a lot of their Top Gear and GT eps back.

I actually think it's entirely likely the cars were just left there. What was more unusual was that someone went back and found the doors.

I'm 99% certain Hammond loved 'Oliver' that much that he actually took him back to the UK with him.

Was incredibly well done. The montage with the two different trips at the end was fantastic.

It's a shame Jeremy's not in better shape. I'm sure they're all a bit over it but he's the one that really looks like he'd struggle to continue.

Love that there's so much rewatchability in their shows. Won't be the last time I see them, that's for sure. Then when my boy is old enough, I'll take him through them all.

I'm nit even into cars. But enjoyed these 3 I've never liked any other top gear version. It was a little sad at the end. I did pmsl at James may it will be easy to delete tour numbers you're right next too each other.

What else could it be?

But yes, it’s pretty out of control, even for him haha.

To be fair, it's been 21 years. Pretty sure Clarkson and May were in their 40s in 2003, while Hammond was in his 30s. Clarkson looks every day of his 64 years now. Don't think he's led the most healthiest life.

Good last show. Vaya con dios amigos. It's been a fun couple of decades.

The guy or gal who really deserves some massive credit, aside from Wilman, is whoever edits the footage to make a cohesive show from all the bits of footage. The blending of scripted and spontaneous is so seamless, and it makes the show. Great effort.

And WTF is going on with Clarkson's stomach. Something is going to burst out like an alien!

watched in last night, finished off well. loved the throw back to the first Botswana Trip (one of my fav).

TGT was never quite a good as Top Gear, it was a little too polished. The cheap car challenges were always a highlight for me, and go back and watch them often

Its been a fun ride, and hats of the the boys, they've quite possibly had the best jobs in the world.
