You know Drivetribe, right? The facebook-like platform for petrolheads, that our Jeremy, James and Richard started together with The Grand Tour (TGT)? Maybe you know it, but don’t use it very frequently.

If that’s the case, you might have missed the Watch Along the guys did for episode 12 of TGT a few days ago. This event allowed the fans to tune in with their latest shenanigans while asking them questions via Drivetribe. In case you missed this Q&A-session, you can retrace all the questions and answers via Drivetribe yourself. But who wants to scroll through endless pieces of chat fragments? Yeah, we thought so. To make things easier, we have gathered the most interesting and funny bits of the Watch Along in this article. Therefore, without further ado, let’s get on with speed and power!

Funny comments – No driving without licence.

Although the guys didn’t and couldn’t answer every question the fans had for them, from our perspective it was an epic event. Jeremy, James and Richard showed us how friendly and community-focused they really are. Also, you just have to love their humor:

• Comment: Well now I’ve gone and fallen behind everyone else in the episode, as a friend walked in and took all her clothes off. – Answer (James): That hasn’t happened here. I wonder what went wrong?
• Question: Which car shall I buy for 10.000 euro?- Answer (Jeremy): Euros? What are they?
• Question: Someone took my licence, should I be concern? – Answer (James): Remember it is impossible to drive without a licence.
• Comment: I have no ideas for a question. – Answer (James): Don’t worry. I still have an answer. It was the Lamborghini.

As many of the fans on Drivetribe, we sure wish and hope for another Watch Along with the guys in the future. Hence, Jeremy, James and Richard, if you are reading this: Please do it again!
