Watched it last night. It’s OK but how to destroy what looks like a perfectly lovely Grancabrio, F Type and DB9 all in the name of enterainment.

Personally, I enjoyed it. Oddly, so did Mrs Crud.

Hammond who i really have never liked was actually rather funny. The mine field but when he said if it said beware of caterpillars he may have taken a look did make me smile.

yes me too quite enjoyed it, not their best i would say but quite watchable and i thought the Maserati did well and looked pretty good despite being mashed up.

Thanks for the heads up guys - have only got part way through Ep 2 (quite enjoyed Ep 1) whilst childminding last night - something to encourage me to take on more jobs ;)

Watched it last night, and yes it was entertaining but predictable. Thought the cars held up rather well, when they said they were going a across the desert in a GC I was expecting some breakdowns.

I watched it Monday night and was pretty funny, driving through the bat tunnel was a bit contrived just to make a joke about the minefield but otherwise enjoyable.

I'm glad the GT didn't have any issues, proves that you don't even need an SUV out there either and I have driven on similar corrugated roads in Australia, in a Toyota Corona.

All cars did surprisingly well. The DB9 would have been happier had it not had its cooling messed about with and the battery had its terminals connected tight.
