The Grand Tour: A Scandi Flick

For those with Amazon Prime, have you seen the latest road trip of The Grand Tour? Don't want to spoil it but I think at least some of the folks here would enjoy it. Probably will re-watch it again this week haha.

This one hurt. They owe it to that Evo to make it right.

Also, I’m not sure what they were thinking by picking 2000+ rally machines. There weren’t many that are appropriate - the civilian versions of the Fords, Peugeots, Citroëns, Toyotas and Hyundais were FWD and lame, only Mitsubishi and Subaru had formidable AWD turbo cars in the era. As much as I love the RS4, choosing 1990s homologation specials would have been more appropriate for cars that were similar to their Motorsport counterparts.

The part about the shacks was lame as hell.

I enjoyed especially the end when the evo survived all the garbage they put it through, you could also see the respect it gained from them.

Yea those three guys are super aware of what the Evo is and what it represents. Top Gear did the craziest stunts with Evos. They made Evos infamous. Even though I track my Evo I still find myself second guessing its reliability. Then in comes James May literally doing what I fear most and the Evo just shrugs it off like a bad hangover.
