It was ok, as previously mentioned, zero car smash count. The Moss tribute was very, very good but the c0cking about trying to be JC, Hammond and May is all very tiring.

Individual items seem good though especially with CH

Not to mention any of the cars being GT’s in the traditional sense. A luxury saloon, Sportscar and an SUV.

Enjoyed it as usual though and guess HH Frentzen was deputising for the “Ring Queen” Sabine Schmitz as I think she is not well at present. Cancer I think unfortunately?

Aston had it first though, so it should be Aston grill on a Ford. TBH can’t believe ford got away with the copy of the Aston grille.

Maybe that’s why BMW grills are so ridiculous now, no-one will ever copy them!

Yep, that's the right way around......And correct on the BMW grills. I hope that they decide to do a facelift on the M4/M3 soon as this would look so much better. A company are working on this as a replacement.image.jpeg

That looks 100 times better. Whoever signed off on the oem grille should be walled and shot!

I've just watched the last episode and thought it was OK, HHF is a bit wooden. The Moss tribute was very good. The Germany v Britain thing was interesting but kept thinking that it could easily have been Italy v GB with a Urus/Lusso/QP or similar.

Why does Paddy have to shout all of the time? He's so wearing ...

I have the programme on in the background at my desk while I'm working but I couldn't watch it intently for a full hour. Give me Bangers & Cash any day

Not sure the would have used the QP against the Bentley ....... It's not competitive......and the Bentley is in a different league. Get the other two though......

Seems to alternate between good(ok) and bad episodes, maybe to try and everyone happy? Good to see no intentional accidents (required for humour). Moss feature was good and although the GT thing was a bit odd it was ok tv. Starting to wonder if Paddy is maybe louder and more shouty than Chris Evans? HHF was a little wooden i guess but didnt bother me given his role in the show and much less wooden than Matt LeBlanc!

Ford owned Aston Martin at the time so wasn't a problem.

Oh yeah, I forgot they owned them once!
Having said that, it was many years after they palmed them off before they added the design to the fiesta and Mondeo. I suppose they are still shareholders though.
