@@flauschxger I feel like the quality makes it more nostalgic. I don't think it would look that good at 4K. Plus lower quality for me is more easy on the eyes, so it makes the episode less demanding and more calm. That's just my view on it however.

Whats amazing is that 3 TV presenters with such different personalities not only worked together for so long but they are actually friends and continue to be good friends. As much as they annoy each other, they love working together. Thats a rare thing. Even when Clarckson got fired from the BBC. Hammond and May both left the show and followed Jeremy to do the Grand Tour. I love the loyalty they have in each other.

When I was a kid my dad bought me a remote control car. That remote control car was a Merc SLR. I played with it for days, made it drift, bump into things and what not. I was addicted to it. But then we moved houses and it was lost. I don't have a lot of "Dream possessions" I wanna own. But I hav two. A Mercedes SLR and an AMG GT. Not the black edition. The regular one. Hopefully someday I'll be able to realise my dream.

Fun fact: After two years of ownership, the maintenance for this car will cost as much as the car’s original MSRP. You will pay double the initial price just to own this car for a few years.

thatabu Crappy?? The question of the challenge was if a BOAT can beat a car. Those boats did fail but they were pretty quick. Unrealistic? There's tons of people using ferrys to get to Norway. Way better than flying!

I made almost the exact same trip but in a VW Lupo 3L 1.2 TDI, with two others and bags for a week abroad. Opposite way though. Stayed in London. Oh and of course drove it back home to Sweden (midwest boarder, not far from Oslo). That semi-auto transmission is a pain on the autobahn, wants to stay in 4th. 0/10 would not recommend. Anything else would've been better. Flunking a mid-term. A slap in the face. A retina tattoo. Anything.

+Anton Shorter I'm guessing the trip wasn't nothing memorable ? because that car at least had good gas mileage. I've done 2000 km in a Peugeot 206 with a 1.9D with no turbo, which has 70hp and no torque, but it made possible the trip that I tell about today, after almost 3 years. My point is, the car is just a vehicle to go from A to B. Only the experiences matter. And that it will not break during the trip.

I got to agree, with Hammond. The airport is possibly the most torturous part of any journey. I think, we're a very long way off just being able to hop on and off them like buses. Most times I've flown, they've said arrive 2 hours before the flight?! 2 + hours doing bugger all. Its tragic that we haven't progressed in any way on this aspect of air travel.
