    Awwwesome! Thanks in advance, Dyer!
    I will say, season 1 of The Grand Tour is kind of a mess.  Seasons 2 & 3 are miles better.  And of course, there's all the old Top Gear stuff they did.  The one posted above is from Grand Tour season 3, episode 9 (just aired on March 7).  There's actually a whole bit that May narrates on the history of the moon landing and the NASA astronauts & their Corvettes before taking Armstrong's for a drive. The whole segment is superbly done; one of the best pieces of television I've witnessed in recent years.

    Classic example of soft delicate hands that have never picked up a hammer or experienced any sort of manual labor before.

    I don’t think I’ve ever referenced Team Trump Treason’s alleged small hands but you seem to have noticed SC’s in quite some detail.

    Easy now guys or you're going to ruin SC's Fredagasm, his hand will go limp and he'll lose his solid grip on that cold hard one.

    Maybe check your ice cube to vino ratio Mcgruff, you're getting a little frisky. No need to irritate Halifax during the off season when all he has to get by on lonely nights are gifs of Tommy B. cuddling up to Donny.

    Tommy B will be cuddling up to ring number 7 soon enough and at least mcgruff doesn’t have a fetish for nasty feet like some on here.

    How did you like the root beer? Am I right in thinking you'd never tried it before??

    Going to skip the first two seasons and watch the third season first. Started watching Season 3 Episode 1. Already, I can see why you prefer them over Leno & Seinfeld. Good call, petrolhead! ;)
  • Great. Canada ranked #1. Now everybody’s gonna want to come here.

    Just go to the US for Pete’s sakes. They’re #17. Not too shabby!
