By the seaside...

Francis is also a massive car nut as well, tracks a modified Honda Jazz (think I saw someone say he'd spent tens of thousands on it?) and is pretty handy.
High hopes for it, although I see each of these reboots/changes as a new show rather than "it'll be the same with new people".

Trouble is, he looks like he's about 16 and any time I've seen him he's so off-puttingly over-enthusiastic, I think he's about to do a sex wee in his pants....
Well, I've watched the first episode and part of the second - feels like it's been written for Clarkson/May/Hammond but it all seems a bit 'forced' as the presenters don't have their timing or basic charm on screen.
Francis Bourgeois, in particular, is very off-putting. He may be good on his own videos where he's talking about something he knows inside out, but they've got him doing the voiceovers and it's so obvious that he's reading a script, there's no natural flow to it and he sounds like someone doing a bad powerpoint presentation about the absorbsion properties of adult nappies.

The main modification appears to be a K20 out of a Civic Type R now according to https://www.carthrottle.com/news/viral-trainspotter-francis-bourgeois-has-k20-swapped-his-honda-jazzTracks a Honda jazz? That’s a phrase I never thought I’d hear!? Hmm
He appeared in the background of Chris Harris' socials a couple of years ago at a wet Anglesey going round in the Jazz from memory.
Coventry
Heard or had?
Its on my list for when I next have prime, looking forward to it. Quite like the two from throttle house.
Just watched the 1st 2 episodes.
It's a grower.
