Definitely the best episode so far. I watched the whole thing without fast forwarding any of it.

Yep, best episode of the lot. Seemed far removed from the earlier WIP ones.

Loved the launch control sketch.

[V8 Animal]

Is it me or are the sound levels all over the place?
I turn it up for outside broadcasts and down for the tent stuff.

[suffolk009]

My favourite so far. 7/10.

Would have been higher but I hate all SUVs (not just Jukes).

[colonel c]

My favourite too. 8/10
I love SUVs.


(OK! Jukes not so much )

How many episodes are there? I thought it was 12 so this would be the end of the series.

There are 13 episodes in this series.

I was fking fk fkers at Amazon for at least 15 minutes.

Stupid fking technology. I keep pressing or selecting Episode 12, and the fking TV is streaming the opening credits for Episode 11 - what the fk ?

Reboot Broadband, TV and roll up my right trouser Leg.... where the fk is Episode 12 that everyone else is bleating about....
Still Loch Ness !


then.





Oh.


Overall Good, and worthy in so far as previously I'd always had a disdain for the Bentley - now an appreciation. Surely thats also what TV is about?

Yep. Me too.

Really enjoyed the latest episode

The lexus test had me in stitches.

[SidJames]

thats miles better!

The yank continues to be a twunt, and that track is shyte. just saying.

[bobbo89]

I want a car with launch control now!

[HARTLEYHARE1]

By far the best episode in a country mile

Learn from it guys

[Bluedot]

Yep, decent episode, I'd probably watch it again if it ever turned up on Dave.
The jag at £51k seemed a bargain next to the other two, I kept having to remind myself that £51k was still a lot of money

Of course it did. The Jaguar doesn't compete with the RR or the Bentley. They could have put the two big ones up against a Cayenne, for instance (or perhaps the new XC90, if they really wanted to be informative), or the F-Pace against a Macan and something else.

I'm not sure why they didn't, but it made the 'review' fairly pointless.

You missed the point. It was an attempt at them all being 'British'

[Cupramax]

Just watched ep12, best one so far by some way...

I did. You're right. But we all know how fatuous that was as a theme.

Cheapest is probably that Renault Clio RS everyone hates. Does have a decent launch though.

[ajprice]

I thought The American in the Lexus would have made some reference to the car being a V8 while he was driving it. That was a good episode though, definitely up there with good TG.

[jhonn]

At last, an episode that lives up to the 'Grand' in the name - more of that standard please!

I suppose they have to do the show from somewhere but not sure why they spent two weeks at Loch Ness, there wasn't much local content - it seems a bit of a missed opportunity.

Cant be hammond driving?!
