I'm almost at that stage, it's the long haired "Bill Bailey" wannabee that I can't stand. That whole program really sucks.

Every week it's the same "don't like VBH", "5th gear is crap", "car wasn't well driven" etc. and usually from the same people. So why do they keep watching it?

I reckon they love 5th gear and fancy VBH but just wanna sound all 'aloof' and 'an expert' etc. wallys.

I think its true that the XTR4 isn't really a road car - IF what VBH said about needing a lap to get the brake pads up to temp is anything to go by. If the bike had production road pads then surely the Westy should have some too - thats worth the second a lap difference for starters.

She is a far better presenter than that long haired wally. It would be interesting to see how well all those who run her down could do at the job, and drive round a track as well.

Probably not as well as the long haired wally!

Didn't watch it...no decent cars on...so <off> went the TV

The only reason why I do watch it is if there is some nice cars on..otherwise there is just no point...the bike V cars has been done before (by guess who )

Top show and she did a top job, as always.

As for bike V car, the bike could go quicker with tweeks but they are never going to be as quick as cars around any circuit.

Am I in the right room for the weekly "VBH is a minger that can't drive" vs "I wouldn't climb over her to get to your missis and she'd show you lot a clean pair of heels around a track" argument?

Exactly.

It has to be the world's most boring subject discussed by the most dull geeky obsessives.

The expression 'get a f**kin life' springs to mind.

And every week the "get a life" brigade starts off with the insults, which makes me wonder if they should take their own advice

Then the "don't tell us to get a life, get one yourself" brigade stick their oar in.

Well I like 5th Gear and VBH, I certainly would

Granted its no Top Gear but still, its another program to watch about cars each week unless you prefer Eastenders!
