[DeTomaso] The Grand Tour

[Richard Greenblum]

I know reality TV is about as real as cartoons, but it was blowing smoke the whole time, so I figured it overheated in town and that made for a “great” finale to the stupid story. I really liked Top Gear, Grand Tour not so much. The whole show was more show biz than cars, and pretty silly.

It could have been that the fans are manually switched and the driver forgot to turn them on...or it could be any number of things that could have been easily prevented.
