    Wow. So they're moving completely away from the 'car reviews and conversation in a set location' and moving to an all-adventure, all-the-time format. They're none of them as young as they used to be...hopefully they can keep it up for a few more years.

    I could see them going back and forth between the tent and adventures.

    I always felt that the crowds in those tents were half car people and half fillers. But mostly Brits with terrible hatchbacks and Range Rovers.

    The tent and the talking is too much like Top Gear and always felt scripted and rehearsed, no matter how naturally they came off. When they're on the road being themselves (within the structure of the producer's "plan") they are truly at their best (and funniest). I laugh more at James and Jezza's frustrations (usually with each other) than just about everything else.

    When they're in the cars and interacting with the world, they are the kings of their kingdom.

    I agree, they're definitely at their funniest when they're just out doing car things. I'm just concerned that they may not be able to keep doing the crazy stunts and long distance drives over challenging terrain in sub-par vehicles for much longer. Especially if they're dedicating entire seasons to it now.
