James May’s teeth looked black?

Didn't notice, was more focused on Clarkson's belly. Which is impressive. Turn off that "sent from my iphone" shit bro, it's in settings on the app.Quote:

Looked like he had braces.Quote:

Now this...
looks more like it.
hits prime at 4pm Thursday
Can't wait for this one. The Bolivia off roading episode was by far my favorite Top Gear ever, looking forward to round 2.
Aside from a few laugh out loud moments.. it really didn't live up to the potential hinted at in the trailer. Maybe the second part will redeem it?
According to Grand Tour instagram, Part 2 contains scenes that donkey enthusiasts may find disturbing!
Sure that wasn’t pt 1?
finally watched them both, definitely part 1!:fmicon:

It was entertaining. Better than most of their recent two part specials, probably on par with the 'Find the source of the Nile' special. Hopefully this bodes well that they've found their mojo again.Quote:

Pt 2 Colombia was pretty good.
Really? I just thought it was so obviously staged that it wasn't funny at all.Quote:

That belly. It’s mesmerizing!
I thought he was genuinely upset by the donkey sex. Which was kinda humorous in its own way. I thought Part 1 was good over all, I enjoyed it at least. Yeah some of it was pretty stupid, no doubt. That first bridge was sketchy as fuck, I'm pretty sure Hammond wasn't acting when he said he felt like he was gonna puke. Looking forward to Part 2 tonight.
I enjoined James May throwing a brick at Jeremy.
The soccer game section gave an idea of the large support crew required to do this show. All the repairs and modifications that happen off camera must be impressive/expensive.

The Patagonia special even more so... huge convoy of people, vehicles being chased out of Argentina by an angry mob.Quote:

Yup. Made up for some bad episodes.Quote:

True, I’d dig seeing a segment where she gets to voice an opinion or bring a fourth car to a three car shoot out. But considering where they came from with the Stig being a faceless driver with no opinion, to the American. I think they are slowly changing with the times, even if they won’t admit it. I think her role in the sea to sea film was progression in that direction. From the few interviews I have seen she seems pretty happy with the job. Her line racing the Porsches on the lake. “I’ve raced some dick in my day, but never on one” made me cringe and hope it was her idea and not something they scripted for her.Quote:

New season of BBC's Top Gear airs in US starting April 25th.
I'm not too sure they'll give Abby too much voice while she's still a sponsored driver out in the racing world. There's a lot of potential conflict of interest there and losing sponsors wouldn't be worth it to her. IIRC, the trio made a gag of it a while back in the Top Gear days with one of the F-1 drivers trying to put down a fast lap on the track in his sponsor's rival (I fell like it was Schumacher, can't recall if it was ferrari or porche), and he was going just abysmally slow. It was good for a one time gag, but that was it.Quote:

They had Schumacher drive a Ferrari while disguised as the stig.Quote:

I always thought they had a solid take on the Mustang, given they are brits and don’t really see the connection between Mustangs and white trash that most Americans do.
Last episode is a bit of tear jerker
your father had a cortina!
Short of James May dying in an accident, I don't think there is a single thing those three could do that would bring a tear to my eye.Quote:
