I only watched half last night but throughly enjoyed how much fun they were having with the rotary-powered car.

I loved it, had me laughing out loud at points. Solid old school Top ….. errrr Grand Tour. Smile

Question though and maybe I missed it but why was James under the table cloth every time they ate???

Abby is a remarkably good driver. Also the French intern was very entertaining.

I loved the French intern!!! “Go away from me while having sexual relations with yourself” Big Grin

Also if anybody was intrigued by some of the vehicles including the propeller car, if you are in the South check out the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville. Super interesting and eclectic collection.

I loved it. Had me rolling. Gonna have to make my wife watch that.

The bit about the roundabout was completely untrue however.

Apparently a reference to this Why This Famous French Dish Is Eaten With A Towel Over Your Head Read More: https://www.mashed.com/335397/..._campaign=clip

Since it's been illegal since 1979 in Europe I presume he wasn't actually eating one.

Insane what the French will come up with somtimes, which I guess fits with the car theme of the episode in a way.

For all the jokes and what not about the French they have invented a great number of things and you don’t invent stuff without thinking outside the box or making your share of the weird or off the beaten path stuff.

It was good. Glad I was following this thread so I could explain the "napkin on the head" - ortolan bit to Mrs. B.

Thought it was kinda lame. I prefer the beach buggy or PT boat episodes myself. This seemed slow. Felt the same about the last episode as well. Clarkson losing his trailer while driving was probably the best of the post covid shows.
