Apparently VBH is being taught a couple of stunts, how to get run over by a car, and how to jump from one moving car to another.

Here's hoping she f**ks one or the other up

maybe they should teach her the tricky stunt of loose a few pounds, get your hair done and buy some make up?

I wonder if the first in the series will feature the word "Ultimate" in the title. Every other fecking 5th Gear has.

Ultimate Track Cars
Ultimate Sports Cars
Ultimate Shootout
Ultimate Shopping Trolley for ya Gran



Top Gear kicks 5th Gear's *** in a big, big way.

Have to say I quite enjoyed the Boxster vs. Z4 bit on 5th Gear, but the production of the programme is terrible - play music that doesnt really fit, and what was going on with all those negative image and slow frame rate shots??!

Talking

It's at least as good as TG if you actually like cars and are interested in them. If you prefer invective from curly haired rich ***** I'd agree TG is the better of the two. Likewise if you like to see cars fired from a steam cannon.

At least 5thGear is true to it's origins rather than a contrived studio format with loads of ugly looking nomarks littering the backkground.

2 decent drivers head to head V clarkson and his faceless robot? No contest.

I agree with you mate.... 5th gear (and driven) stick to the cars...which is why i watch them... you probably get to see the same amount of motoring in both even though top gear is an hour long... except with top gear you have to watch star in a reasonably prices piece of sh**!!! (at which point i flick to the music channels!)

gso and D70.... What cars?

The new Boxster Vs. the Z4....

That was it wasn't it? I watched the whole programme but I can't recall any other cars in it even though logic tells me that VBH can't have dominated the rest of the show doing pointless stunts.

5th Gear had half the program for the Boxster vs Z4 (which equates to abt 10 mins after advert break is taken into account). The rest was a load of rubbish showing VBH learning how to fake stunts. She wasnt actually learning how to even be hit by anything - just how to pretend !!

And you guys reckon that this is more interesting than a full hour of Topgear ? I am stunned.

5th Gear was a load of sh!te if you ask me, that "stunt" with VBH was completely pointless too!

The head to head was a bit better but that was basically a waste of time, all they seemed to be doing was sliding the cars around the corners! Could have probably gone quicker if they drove the cars properly.
