I was a little late to the party, but when I finally watched the last episode of The Grand Tour Season 3 this weekend, I was sad to learn that the show would no longer go on. After a long segment devoted to the discontinued Ford Mondeo, the camera cut back as usual to Jeremy […]

‘The Grand Tour’ Bamboozled Me

‘The Grand Tour’ Bamboozled Me

Four months ago, I came across a thread on the /r/cars subreddit discussing a YouTube video James May had posted of his unboxing a new Toyota Yaris GRMN. It was nearly 17 minutes long, but it had that typical dry yet relaxing May style, and before I knew it, I’d sat through the whole thing. […]

The Grand Tour’s Segment on Jim Clark is Worth a Watch

You may think of The Grand Tour and the former Top Gear as TV shows featuring three old men acting like fools in cars, and you’d be right but for the odd occasion when they produce excellent, high-quality and emotional documentary segments such as the one that was aired last week in the latest season […]

The Grand Tour Kicks Off Season 3 in Detroit

Having just about finished the first three books, last night I sat down to watch The Expanse series on Amazon Prime with my fiancée, only to see in the video feed that season three of The Grand Tour was already up to three episodes. How could I have missed it? So I watched that instead. […]

Review: The Grand Tour Season 2 – Episode 1

The Grand Tour is back on Amazon Prime with its second season, marking three old stooges’ continued effort to dick around in cars and stick it to the BBC. For the most part, it was a success. Several changes were made to the show. First, the traveling tent is no more. The tent itself still […]

The Grand Tour Episode 2 Review: A Disappointing Follow-Up

I was quite happy with the return of the old Top Gear gang when their new show premiered on Amazon Prime over a week ago, but my enthusiasm quickly deflated about mid-way through the second episode.
