Miseed the T25 bit 
But how I enjoyed learning that a £600 Citroen rides speed bumps better than a posh 4x4, seeing an utter **** with a Capri covered in dinky toys being awarded a prize T-shirt (lucky chap) and the unbelievably arrogant Tiff moaning as he crawls across the desert in a Ferrari.
It's so bad it's actually funny. The Top Gear team must pi55 themselves watching that truly bottom-grade trash

Excellent report, but wanted more.
Was amused that both Clarkson and May were plugging their xmas presents in the adverts during fifth gear. Clarkson's car DVD and May's car trivia DVD game Oooh I can't wait

Think my wife hit the nail on the head last night, when discussing why 5th Gear was not that good.
The presenters on Top Gear use humour with their vocabulary, whereas 5th Gear they have to use props/sketches, which 95% of the time are not funny. Very true, after watching the best of top gear on sunday and 5th gear last night.
The T25 was very nice. Felt like i was wanting more though. He just seemed to tell you about it, but not really abuse/push it to the limits. Would've been nice to really see what it can do.
Some impressive kit though, much prefer that spoiler to the Gran Tourismo one on the earlier version.

How can a presenter of a car program not be able to drive a Ford GT above 30 mph in on a track FFS..?
It's a complete farce..
The T25 piece was good, however I did feel that PS deserved a mention..
Just waiting for some ****** the spot my rear damper adjusters and throw a brick through the window in protest of how ****e 5th gear is..!

Sky, in their infinite wisdom decided to reboot and software update my box 32 minutes into the show, so I missed the Scooby review.

You very probably know who he is from the Snetterton crash then..... Theres a couple of pictures of the car after the crash here, you might have to register to see them though. If John Felstead sees this he might be interested in the pictures too, as he will recognise the fat bloke with the beard!

Not that it really matters where you got it from.
