- It's a Grand day today

Some Grand treats arrived

Prime goodies

Most of you will be well aware that I am always on the lookout for unusual collectables of our beloved trio. In particular, anything connected to The Grand Tour.

I always try to keep an eye out for any Grand treats that may pop up.

It had been quite some time since I found any really good merchandise, so you can imagine my sheer excitement when I happened to stumble across some tantalising treats.

I was fortunate enough to come across them while randomly browsing a certain well known auction website. It was merely by chance that I found them, with only a few minutes left running in the auction too. It was a nail biting moment. Thankfully, I was the only bidder and was soon the proud owner of some treasure.

.The seller was even kind enough to briefly tell me how he came across the items himself. He told me that he had acquired them at a promo event on campus at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston here in the UK. He explained that he snook out at break time to go to The Grand Tour tent and that he was playing with some remote control cars on a track in there. He said that he came first and had lots of fun.

The first item is a double sided promo card. On the first side, it is advertising season two of The Grand Tour which aired back in December 2017. The reverse side of the card is an advertisement for Prime offering students a six month trial of their subscription service, along with other tempting benefits. I wonder how many of them signed up to watch our beloved trio?

The second item is a double sided beer mat which I have to say made me giggle when I saw the reverse of it. Looks rather menacing in a way. Almost as if Jeremy is stood there asking you to buy a round. How could you possibly refuse?

"How hard can it be? Don't say that"

Now, I am wondering if there were similar promotions for seasons one and three. I will have to keep a lookout. One thing is for sure, there was certainly no "terrible disappointment" when they arrived. Aren't they just Grand?

Many thanks for reading. I hope you all enjoyed 😃

    • They were only distributed at University campuses here in the UK, as far as I am aware. I simply got lucky by seeing them on an auction website and being fortunate enough to be able to buy them.
