you are causing so much pain
don't deny it. all you do is tell everyone
what I have done.
there is nothing I can say or do to repair the damage between us
you are free to do whatever you want, and I won't say a word. I don't know why I am the bad guy for not wanting to reply

it's been two years almost. you've been with how ever many guys you claim. because you seduce and are insanely popular here. I am no one here.

I do not want you to be poor and desperate and whatever else. but for Christ's sake, you kicked me out in June 2017 when I had a steady job. I did not abandon you to your depths and debt. You threw me out and tried to have everyone in sight, and on this site too.

you kidding me? I am not responsible for you two years after we broke. you are not a victim, you are a blaming crazy person who victimizes others.

you come off so nice and just pervert here, though

I wonder if Ken has one of those...
If not - I wonder how long it'll be 'til Ken has one of those!

I was meant to write this last week, on Friday, but life got in the way.

Now I have the time to write down what I think of the episode!

This time on The Grand Tour - it's challenge time! Jeremy, Richard and James are testing three pick up trucks, a Mercedes-Benz X-Class, a Volkswagen Amarok and a Ford DangerRanger. Jeremy is driving the Amarok, James is driving the Mercedes-Benz, and Richard is - predictably, perhaps - driving the Ford.

During their test, the guys are doing their best to prove, that the car they each are driving, is the best one in a developed country. That include tests such as tearing down statues, providing vital help to a village, and delivering fuel to a helicopter.

Back in England, Jeremy is testing the new Jaguar XE SV Project 8, which is a 5 door sedan, with 600 angry, snorting horses available. The test only shows me, that I want one of those cars! It's magnificent!


This is the Jaguar Project 8

As with the other episodes, there are some gags and fun stuff, and you can just tell they enjoyed making this season.

All in all, this episode will land on a solid 8/10.

It is Friday, which means a new episode of The Grand Tour!

This time, Jeremy takes The Grand Tour to Sweden, where he tests a Lamborghini Urus on snow, and he also stages a race between the Urus and a Porsche 911 Turbo, to see if Lamborghini has made a fast SUV.

Back in England, May is testing the Alpine A110, while Hammond makes a touching and amazing segment to the late Scottish racing driver Jim Clark, who tragically passed away during a race on Hockenheim on April 7, 1968.

I liked this episode. I didn't think I was going to, because of the synopsis, but I was very much entertained throughout the episode.

Hammond has a particularly fun rant about horses, during the Conversation Street segment. They also explain that new companies are modernizing old cars, which makes for some truly spectacular results.

This episode will bag a solid 8 out of 10 from me!

The Grand Tour Season 3 is streaming NOW on Amazon Prime!

It's Saturday, so it is time for part 2 of The Grand Tour's Colombia special.

When we left the action, the guys had just finished taking photographs of a jaguar, and they are now facing the task, of photographing a bear, a condor and a hippopotamus.

So far, the trio of cars have been performing well, not suffering any major breakdowns at all. But the terrain gets even more brutal, and the altitudes are getting higher.

As per usual, there are many gags and laugh out loud moments. One of them comes 8 minutes into the episode, where James and Richard poke fun of Jeremy. Good stuff!

It is easy to see the chemistry between the three guys, and I really enjoy their witty banter back and forth. I also have a small correction: Hammond was driving a Chevrolet C/K Silverado, which was shipped from the US to Columbia at night.

But anyway, my honest opinion about this Colombia special, is that it sits up there with the best of the specials.

This episode, for me, gets an 8 out of 10!

they walked together
hand in hand
over a rocky trail
stopping at a lookout point
they tugged at each other
looking at each other and then
the landscape
"i'm going this way" she said
"i'm going that way" he said
fingers released and found pockets
"don't forget to write"

I was on the highway at 9 this morning headed to a meeting with a real estate agent. They forgot to alert me today was the contest to see who could out maneuver who. I wanted no part of it, especially knowing this road is notorious for unmarked Highway Patrol cars... including the 'wanna race?' setups.

Oh, you didn't know about them?? A friend of mine decided to be part of a race already in session and when they came over the ridge, several police (with radar guns) were waiting to 'see your drivers license, registration and proof of insurance.'

Back to the drive... Sunday morning is great if you want to see people with vintage vehicles out for a Sunday drive. Today I got to see a nice roadster. I'm guessing a 1930's Ford. It had lots of high performance modifications like wide tires, big carburetors and short header exhaust. The car had a blue license plate signifying 'antique' so it was the real deal and not a 'put together' roadster.

Years ago, a client of mine had a 1957 Bel Air convertible with a Corvette engine in perfect condition. He 'ball parked' the value over $200,000 to the right buyer. He would take it to classic car shows and on rare occasion drive down 'the strip' on a Saturday night.

The coolest (in my opinion) antique car I've seen on the road happened to be early one Sunday morning, I pulled alongside a Ford roadster that must have been late 1920's to early 1930's. It was immaculate, you would think it came here via a time machine. The light turned green and some guy in an SUV behind the old car starts blowing the horn!

Obviously, he didn't appreciate Sunday drivers...

Husband: how was your drive back home? Wife: it was fine, I missed the main exit but I managed to do it.

I am a huge, huge, HUGE car nut, so I devour any sort of car related videos and tv shows. The biggest one was Top Gear, when Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were the hosts. I loved watching the stupid challenges, the car reviews and the epic journeys. I was super bummed out, when Top Gear ended in 2015.

When it was revealed that they went to Amazon to make a new car show, I immediately subscribed to Amazon Prime, in order to be able to see it.

The first season was amazing! Full of fun shenanigans, cringey bits and amazing cars. The opening scene was the best thing ever! I loved every episode, and I was hoping they would release a season 2, which they did.

That was even better, and it was clear that the show would only be bigger.

Now we are six days away from season 3. It premiers on the 18th of January, and I am so going to see every episode!

I hope they will include some truly spectacular cars!

Something new for this blog: A review of a 13 episode series! This time, I am reviewing The Grand Tour Season 3.

The first two seasons were full of fun, amazing and sometimes cringy stuff, but the opening scene in season one still remains the best things I have ever seen!

So what does season 3 have in store for us? A bit of violence, a bit of speed and a LOT of momentum! Episode 1 opens up with the trio entering the tent, and Jeremy Clarkson presents a montage of what to expect over the next 13 weeks.

After that, it's time for the best thing ever: Three violent, screaming muscle cars: The Dodge Demon, the Ford Mustang RTR and the insane Hennessey Exorcist, which is a Chevrolet Camaro boosted to 1000 horsepower. The trio aims to find out which of the cars is the best one, and to some extend, which one is worth it the most at its given pricepoint. To figure that out, they take the cars to Motor City - Detroit!

After a series of tests, it's back to the tent, and on to conversation street. It's then time for a test drive of the McLaren Senna, which is such an amazing piece. That car is mad! It's then back to the test in Detroit, and the Demon has some surprisingly annoying features to it. What those features are, I will not spoil here, in case you want to see the episode for yourself

I really enjoyed the episode, and I really look forward to the next one in a weeks time!

The Grand Tour Season 3 is available now on Amazon Prime!
