ir_fuel Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Ok, Top Gear series has ended so I amused myself by downloading this season's Fifth Gear episodes. (Mind you I am from "the other side of the water", so we don't have that show on tv here ) My god, except for the fact that they don't hate motorcycles like JC, what is this stuff ? VBH constantly screaming and giggling like a 14-year old .... The only person in that show worth watching is Tiff Needell. I really get the impression they are trying to imitate Top Gear but they just can't cut it (in doing crazy stuff with cars). I mean, maybe the ideas are not so bad but they lack a bit in punch and creativity (like that episode where they try running a car without oil. Couldn't they think of anything more original to do than just drive around in rounds until the thing seized? Now wahaa, what a surprise, the engine broke without oil, behold!). Anyhow, I want Top Gear back (at least until the MotoGP/WSBK season starts ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIXXERUK Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I don't mind 5th gear to be honest compared to top gear though you dont mind 5th gear purely because of your hunger for car related progs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I don't mind 5th gear to be honest compared to top gear though you dont mind 5th gear purely because of your hunger for car related progs Of course its no where near as good as Top Gear but I still sky+ it as its car based and means I don't have to endure things like corrie and eastenders etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a pile of sh1te! The main bloke (him with the FA Cup ears) seems to think that fitting a rear wing to a car will give it more traction off the line.....

H5 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Couldn't agree more. I can't believe their handling test is whether a gappy toothed woman smiles when being driven in the thing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozz Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I find the production really poor on it - loads of time the presenters are looking at each other as if they don't know what to say. Doesn't watch as smooth as Top Gear. Its not too bad though, seen a lot worse. One of the channels has some bloke looking at auctions and reviewing cheap cars - now that is dire. Got a relatively fit bird on it but still dire. EDIT - Used Car Roadshow - that might be the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's not even relatively fit. You might be right, have to try and find a photo. Edit: won't post a photo - Penny Mallory and definitly not smart. I'm sure I meant Zoe Harman, she's fit.

Indyzed Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Fifth gear is 90% tosh, but Tiff certainly can drive AMEN! He can punish a race course. I do love Top Gear but the 2005 5th Gear series that Speedvision telecasted here in the states was a good season. I taped most of it and still watch it. I love watching Tiff slide that Boxter S through their test track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
