Mmmmm, drive round an army shooting range being shot at.
How original.

The people at TG must spend all the time laughing at 5th gear.

I would laugh if my competitors did nothing but rehash my ideas of three years ago.

I watch both and enjoy both. TG can be very dull and crap at times but can also make me almost pee myself laughing. 5th gear is a bit worse tho with no laugh out loud moments but still worth a watch.

Vroom Vroom on the other hand is dire, absolute crap. Forced myself to watch almost 3 episodes then gave up and will never watch it again.

Top Gear IS a better program by far. 5th Gear is OK, it does have some good moments, but not as good as the ones on TG.

Is it me or did VBH seem very scared at the start of that rallycross race??
...and there I thought see was a racing driver...

This article was touted as a cheap entry level motorsport, "bargain basement of motorsports", yet on the website it says

Only good thing about 5th gear is the competitions - the actual cars they have as prizes are usually decent motors and although the text entry costs a quid (i think) it would be worth it if you were one of the lucky ones.

Top Gear is by far the best motoring program. They could do well to copy the 5th gear competition format though.

Would have to agree with that (sell the Golf and make £20K+) although Tom Ford's pieces have been quite intersting lately. Car showroom on last night show was interesting, so was that Island with the Hydrogen car. Visiting those Japanese in that car park and seeing just how much cash they must spend on their cars was very interesting, even though Tom Ford is a very annoying person.
His visit to the Maybach showroom was intersting too.

Vicky is just too ******* annoying. That laugh really grinds on me. Used to fancy her, but not now.
They don't use Tiff to there advantage either. Whenever they have a first drive of a supercar, it's right at the start of the show, and it's only on for 3 ******* minutes before the adverts. More races between Tiff and Plato would be nice. In proper cars too.
