I thought it was very sad. They'd already done it on Top Gear, reasonably amusing, and 5th gear couldn't come up with anything better than to copy? Really pathetic for both programmes to do it.
Still, at least you get to see more than just a glimpse of the cars on Top Gear. With 5th gear, program starts about 8:33, next thing you know theres and ad, then it finishes at 8:57. Theres a mzx of 20 mins actual telly - what a waste of time!

Did anyone see Tiff's pop at Top Gear last night on 5th Gear? very subtle.
He was doing a peice on the 911GT, and said during one of the driving clips whilst talking about the 6 speed box ;
"Yes Top Gear is a little long, but once you change into 5th gear things start to come alive"
He had a cheeky little smile whilst doing it Nice one Tiff

Had to turn Clarkson off this week. The man talks like a fifteen year old, constantly trying duff playground gags. Annoying that so many people kiss his 4rse so much.

Stiff Needle is a entirely different story - grrrreat bloke.

the man is a walking The Sun and in the same way that The Sun outsells everything else Clarkson will allways be popular.

the downside of this is that the retarded masses will ensure he is often on the telly, the upside is that retards need there heros and hobbies (like football) to keep them off the streets and at home watching Tv not out and about making the country look a mess.

(the irony that the avarage muppet watching "star in a reasonably priced car" couldnt afford it seems lost on them)

I spotted the gag about Top Gear, not sure if it was meant, but was certainly appreciated!

I think Top Gear is getting better and is now the best of the Car Programs and also the only one with some body willing to counter the tree hugers spin about how we all want to use public tyransport if it was provided, which is total cr@p.
