    Watched it last night, very funny. The mystery character had a creepy aspect (due to the music) but I thoroughly enjoyed it. For once I actually rooted for May as he had the best RV IMO. I was literally LOLing about every other minute. Would watch again

    Hammond definitely didn't put any effort into his "RV".

    They are kind of getting back to their old formula. Some of it is cheesy but it's getting better. I've really liked the last few episodes.

    I was just reading some of the wayyy earlier postings in this thread and it’s clear that the guys have definitely “settled in” to their show. They’re all veteran television men, and everything was good the first season, and even improved the second season, but watching these latest episodes feels akin to watching the old TG episodes from like 2006-2014. The show now feels like they’ve hit their stride.

    The Grand Tour’s” James May is going on the road with Amazon again, but without motoring buddies Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond at his side. “Our Man in…Japan” will see May travel the titular Asian country on a quest to understand its unique, extraordinary and complex culture.

    Agreed! They need to incorporate her more, plus it'll get the #MeToo movement away from them if they ever were to come after The Grand Tour or any type of crap like that

    Nah, she's nice but she's just the driver. No talking. She can get her own post GT show... anyway, next season is just going to be road trips from what I hear.

    Well I mean like how they did the Stig on TG. Usually whenever one of the 3 is out testing a car and compare it to another i.e drag race, the Stig was always the one to do it

    She’s not bad looking but damn Sabine could drive the Nurburgring. I watched a race she had on the ring and she passed over 30 cars. She’s a fucking amazing driver. I don’t know a lot about the new girl other than she’s got tattoos so I like that. Probably because I’ve got them and my wife has more than I do.

    Sabine has won the 24 hours of Nürburgring and "According to her own estimates, Schmitz has gone around the track more than 20,000 times. Her familiarity with the circuit earned her the nicknames "Queen of the Nürburgring" and "the fastest taxi driver in the world"."

    But at the same time, Hammond has always been the one with the "simple" vehicle on the competitions like that, so it wasn't too surprising.

    Clarkson definitely has a thing for tall RV vehicles. Like his 3 story caravan and the the roof station on his latest :rofl:
