News Clarkson suspended

Just got an email asking for people to apply to be in the audience for the grand tour filming. I guess it's uk amazon prime members only.

 

[Bodhi]

Looking on Twitter they were after people from Germany as well.

audience

Thought that there wasn't going to be an audience?

They been running comps on twitter to get people into their big tent to watch so iguess there is

 

[Bodhi]

Their Twitter has been brilliant tonight, the Fail printed an article on their appearance in Italy, where they were apparently gloating about Evans leaving TG.

It all sounded fairly ridiculous, but the Fail being the Fail, they got the colour of the car wrong, cue much Orange / Brown related japery.

Anyone like the new Porsche Panamera?

It's not the most beautiful looking car

Four door porsche, it's just not right.

Its a massive improvement on the last one. I like it a lot. I think the one to get though (if you have a spare seventy grand) will be the shooting brake version that's coming out later.

I was at the lights in my little van, there were no less than six Range Rovers in the queue, most old ones on private plates.
The country is going to be overun with 20 yr old cars that can do 180mph and 5 second 0-60s.
Speed and power is irrelevant these days.

Thoughts?

 

[Raven]

Looking forward to it myself. Was never a massive fan, watched it if I caught it and watched the odd repeat on Dave.

 

[Wij]

Now that it's off the beeb can it have swearing and tits and stuff?

 

[Job]

It's a trailer...so best bits alert...but 3 grown children and millions of dollars...bbc forgotten allready.

[old.user4556]

He said "tits and swearing", not "a swearing tit".

 

[Bodhi]

More laughs in that 1m30s than 6 episodes of the new Top Gear....

Looks epic though, cannot wait for this to come out. Apparently they spent £2.5 million on just the opening sequence - 150 cars, 2000 petrolheads in the Californian desert. They really do have the best job on Earth (when they sort the catering out anyway).

 

[DaGaffer]

Thoughts?

I am very much looking forward to it. Unfortunately Amazon Prime isn't available in Ireland so I will have to go elsewhere.

Interestingly my six year old daughter watched the trailer with me at breakfast this morning and says she wants to watch the series with me. The boy remains uninterested.

 

[Bigmac]

Looks good. I'll probably end up watching it.

 

[Deebs]

Just watched The Grand Tour. The boys are back. Loved it and some of the things they said were brilliant. Well worth the wait!

 

[ECA]

Show was good, no 10 minute "pretend we're covering normie cars because we're on the beeb" nonsense.
Also available in 4k and looks gorgeous if you have a fire box - they filmed using high end cinema grade cameras.

 

[BloodOmen]

Enjoyed the first episode, it's like the lads were never away.

 

[Moriath]

Was really good watched it at middnight last night. Loved the pokes at the bbc

 

[Bodhi]

Watched it last night too, it's like Top Gear Plus, with all the boring bits taken out.

 

[Gwadien]

I wonder if 'im with Amazon' has much sell power as 'I'm with the BBC' has as much bargaining power.

 

[Deebs]

We are going to be like gypsies, except our cars are insured.

Epic

 

[Bodhi]

The comment around the Porsche's MPG was brilliant as well.

"It'll do 95 mpg"!

"Yes, and who owns Porsche?"

*look at camera*

 

[Job]

Splendid, but where did the millions go on the opening scene.
Most of the people were doing it for free.

Who gives a shit where the money went as long as it is this good every episode.

 

[Job]

Bit tame tbh, distinct lack of anything epic, seeing as it was the whizzbang first episode.
The Ebola track is a bit poor, couldn't they find anything better.

Pity we haven't got spoiler tags :/

Spoiler: Oh look!

Cnuts!
