It's sad to look at this picture and know there's not a Corrado this clean anywhere outside of VAG corporate storage.

If this is Week 11 Episode 12, is this the last episode (12 episode order) or is there one more next week (12 week order)?

SeriesGuide says 13 episodes total, so two more left. But it could be wrong.

Which episode was it when the guys were driving around Europe and Clarkson made some quip about the president of the owners club for their car and later told May he was driving the president's wife's car and May mistook it for the president of the country?

On that note I'm getting a little tired of Hammond's "broken French" gag, in which he's guaranteed to say "champignons" instead of "champions" so it can be subtitled as "mushrooms".

That was a pretty good episode. You'd think Jeremy's comparisons between different levels of consumer goods would get old but it really pays off at the end.

I liked this episode, a lot of laughs to be had. The stupid launch control thing also cracked me up.

Trying to get the town name of loving into the satnav was childishly funny to me. Also if that was really James catching air in the 3 1/2 ton Bentley, then...drat

Jeremy's shortcut through the quarry, because he had the only actual off-road capable SUV was exactly what I wanted him to do.

I could have sworn Jaguar had announced an F-Pace R that used the engine from the F-Type, which I was disappointed they weren't using since it would have been more competitive. I went looking for it though and apparently I've imagined it or something...

The route from Wank to Kissing to Petting to loving to Wedding was a nice touch.

That was by far my favorite episode to date. Tight writing, plenty of good car content, interesting comparison, funny jokes, interesting locations, etc. Not 3 guys trying to fill an hour which is what many of the other episodes felt like.

It's weird looking at that map, it's almost as if Poland intrudes into Germany, like they are overreaching and overstepping their proper place. Kind of an odd map, perhaps the Germans should take back some of that land?

Um, I'm pretty sure you guys are talking about the Czech Republic. The country whose capital is Prague.

Haha, yep, sorry, bit of a geography failure there. The joke still works with Czechoslovakia, though. Better, in fact, in timeline terms.

What was weird about that was that they were literally standing at the start/finish line of the Norisring track, you could even see the markings on the ground: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norisring https://youtu.be/2Lr73q78Mzw

While clearly standing on track markings? Of course the off road track was good, and overall a great episode and segment.

My other half and I have a Grand Tour of our own booked in early April, and I had no idea until watching this episode that our route goes right by both loving and Wank. I think a slight detour is in order.

I've been like 5 minutes away from Kissing without even realizing it. Petting and loving require a bit more effort so I never bothered going there. Combat Pretzel posted:That's a rather lovely track.

They really like their slow-mo camera rigs on this show. Also some of the shots look absolutely stunning in 4K. Even ones you wouldn't expect, like the breakfast scene a few weeks ago with the sun on all their faces as they ate and talked.

Does anyone know what the camper van carrying huge tents in Namibia pt 2 were? I can see lots of camper van hires, but nothing with that specific setup. Also, do any of those rentals come fully guided? Or otherwise provide a guide/butler to set up camp for you?

I just watched the Namibia episodes. I'm not a hard core fan, but those two were amazing. Is that the best thing they have ever done?
