The Grand Tour - TGT Season 2
Just watched the first ep in season 2, thank FOOK they have binned off the "American" and the killing celebs, actually getting them on to drive..
However, I never realised they did an F Type Jag, with a 2.0 ltr petrol engine, WTF??

New model. Pretty pokey, evidently. Just doesn't seem 'right' somehow!

But boring by the look (and sound) of it, and not cheap at £53k in R-Dynamic trim..

So subtle how they've used a MASSIVE engine cover to make it NOT look like a 4 cyl and more like a V6/V8 lol...
Sorry, but if I was spending that sort of money, I'd be wanting a V6 or V8..
It's also a bit of a porker @ 1600kg for a 2 seater with a 4 cyl motor..

It was done for emissions reasons in other markets apparently.

Massive improvement on season 1 I think, hoping new top gear will also improve!
The cayman, alpine and 4c all have 4pot engines and cost a fair amount too, so why shouldn't the jag?

James May looking a tad overweight. Recent undisclosed hospital visits combined with facial swelling and redness could point to steroid treatment. Hope I am wrong

I noticed that within seconds, but put it down to having been in the USA...raymond.harper wrote: ↑Sat Dec 09, 2017 12:12 pm James May looking a tad overweight. Recent undisclosed hospital visits combined with facial swelling and redness could point to steroid treatment. Hope I am wrong

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!
I enjoyed that. Very little detail about the Hamster's crash though? Car was a burnt out shell, how did he manage to get out, also odd that he went off the road way after the finish line?
I thought May looked unwell too - Clarkson looked unwell, but he always looks unwell

I dont think the car would let him brake after finishing ! just seemed odd that it just plowed on after finishing not much information why or how it happend , Look forward to the new grand tour but as some one said it is lacking something !
Not sure what the health spar had to do with anything or why after day one they went back to the same place , a bit ground hog day !

I think it's also good that they appear to have listened to feedback and changed things. I think amazon know they have too much money at stake not to listen to the people who effectively pay the wages., ie prime subscribers.
They also seemed to imply that they will now be based in the UK all of the time, possibly another indicator that all may not be right with James?
