It was Ok they've done better ones.

This week's is much better especially the last section.

That first episode was dull. Had me wondering whether to carry on watching it.
So glad they followed it up with a 2 part adventure trip. I don't care how much of it is staged and it's always obvious when it is (like having camera's filming them from the other side of the suprise gorge thing). If it makes me chuckle then it's all good. And the last 3 episodes have done exactly that. Not seen the latest one yet.
They're always best when they are doing things as a trio. The individual car reviews I find boring as they are always of ridiculous limited edition cars that I have no interest in.

That Jim Clark documentary was brilliant. Best thing they've done in ages.

What a driver!

Just watched the first of the 3rd season, it wasn’t that bad.

I’d just sort of thought the formula was wearing thin and the punching that guy would have put it out of its misery then Amazon thought they’d splash out.

I’d endured the first two gt’s hoping it might get better and nearly didn’t bother with the current but ditching the celebs section and less trying so hard seemed to work well.

Loved the Jim Clark tribute. The cars were beautifully shot

Pick up episode was awful, apart from the item on the Jag.
Personally I prefer the stuff about rare cars, even though I’ll never drive them. That’s the point.
Seems like two shows squashed together, the “humorous” bits and the car bits. Your either a fan or one or the other, rarely both.

On a plus side for Amazon, I’ve discovered Drive, free on prime. Made by NBC, so American slant but has Chris Harris going sideways and not having to play second fiddle to Joey from Friends.

Viewing figures and a unchanged format for over 10 years says both seems more popular.

The one thing the two part trip to Columbia did,is make me want a Panda 4x4. A brilliant little car.

Or both sides just have to watch the crap bits to get to the bits they prefer.

Yep, helped by the fast forward button. It is a 20 minute show for me most episodes as I am only interested in the actual cars, items such as the Jim Clark one. As soon as the 3 of them are together doing yet another challenge the fast forward button is hit.

For blokes mucking about I've recently enjoyed A League of Their Own Euro road trip .
Freddie Flintoff and Jamie Redknapp with a few guests being silly.

That Jim Clark section was really well done. I'd happily watch a series of documentaries by them like that
