The Grand Tour S2: Jaaaaaaaags

This week's episode of Amazon Prime's The Grand Tour is all about second hand Jaguars trying to dispel the popular belief that they all break down, whatever that is.

The Grand Tour S2E06

With the US state of Colorado as the setting of this episode, Jeremy starts with an XJ8 saloon while James drives an XK8 Convertible and Richard drives a 420.

The first part is where they take on an offroad course and Hammond's 420 became the casualty of this challenge and it was replaced by an XJ6 saloon.

Then, the second part is where they will drive their cars from 0 to 100mph to 0. This time, the latest casualty is the XK8 convertible when James fell off the cliff but luckily survived. Sadly, he's now driving the 12-cylinder XJS coupe.

Before the conclusion, celebs Luke Evans and Designated Survivor's Kiefer Sutherland seize each other out for who is the fastest celebrity whose middle name is George in this week's Celebrity Face-Off. In here, Kiefer Sutherland wins with the time of 1:17.8 while Luke Evans did it in 1:21.3.

Returning to the Jaguar episode, the boys are taking on one last challenge which involves going skiing in their cars on a ski resort in Telluride. After doing typical things a Jaguar owner would do on their free time, they set off but because being rear-wheel drive Jags, they don't work in this place so instead they chained all of their rides as one and set off to the summit before separating them. With all three cars separated, the real game begins and having managed to survive the icy downhill menace, they made to the end until James' XJS, due to brake failure, ruined it.
