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!

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

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

At this years Goodwood Festival of Speed, Volkswagen unleashed the ID. R. It is a fully electric prototype vehicle designed as part of Volkswagen's I.D. Project, and included within Volkswagen's R series of cars designed specifically for competing in motorsport events. It is the first electric racing car designed by Volkswagen.

The power comes from two electric motors, located at each axle, allowing for a combined 507 kW; 689 PS (680 hp) and 649 N·m (479 lb·ft) of torque. The I.D. R weighs under 1,100 kg (2,500 lb) and has a 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) time of 2.25 seconds.

It's seriously fast, as this video shows:



Besides Goodwood, the I.D. R holds the record at the Nürburgring. It went round in 6 minutes 05.336 seconds, demolishing the record set by the NIO EP9. The NIO took a slow 6 min 45.9 seconds to get round the Ring, even though it has 1,341 horsepower. That means, that the NIO has 661 horsepower more than the I.D. R, and still it was slower. It was also heavier than the I.D. R, which is why it was slower.

It's amazing what we can achieve with electric cars now!

August already, and father time is breathing down Tom Brady's neck! No matter what happens this season, Tom Brady has surpassed all expectations and has made it almost awkward to be a fan. I usually root for the underdog, but with the Pats, I couldn't stop being a fan just because they started winning. I was born into it along with being a fan of the Red Sox, Bruins, and Celtics.

Good luck this season Mr. Brady, and keep the shiny side up!


Anyway, here are some players from around the league wishing TB a happy b-day and roasting him a bit.



Oh, and for the haters


An MIT professor (an eagles fan, btw) debunks deflatehate. Funny how things work out, eh?

Ah ...for those not on the know, the Eagles won the Superbowl over the Pats last year (not last season...the Pats won that game against the Rams).

...and I drove up to Nissan dealer in the car we got her for graduation, and her new job. Internship, well paid, at a national lab. Studying how non -random is meoitic chromosome recombination, under environmental influences, in rodent embryotic stem calls. Simple shite, that. These vehicles are amazing for those of us who drive antiques. Visit was for no charge dealer service to update programs for the posterior wieseldink release valves, and the central imposivator coupler. These cars do everything but scratch your nose. Which was my complaint to the service manager, who agreed. Chinese buffet after it all, long evening on the toilet. But over two hours on the road, got to listen to Millennial rock. K and J Pop, and lots more. Can't say I hated it, but can't say I loved this stuff either. Like my first beer---takes getting used to. Now, one thousand are not enough, and one is too many.

it's disscusting , its a hardy one...........blog on.......snotty..........beam me up

Take (literally) for example, the Ford F-Series truck. While it's one of the top selling vehicles in America, it's also the most stolen vehicle in America. Ford must have made a really good 2006 model as reports were 38,938 of them were stolen in 2019.
13 year old trucks made the top of the list and second on the list were the 2000 Honda Civic at 33,220 last year. Stealing a 19 year old car?

I'm thinking they are disappearing to be stripped for parts.
