I watched last weeks episode a few days ago and it was one of the worst bits of TV I have ever had the misfortune to witness. I was ashamed to be watching it.........
Even Jordan doesn't suck as much as that show

Fortunately I'm too much of a car freak not to watch it. OK the presenting is BAD, but in between, we still get to see some cars like the new Elise, and the..er...Elise despite the naff bits like watching someone trying to do burnouts on a bike or watching Dukes of Hazzard style car jumps from an armco. One cr@p car programme is better than no car programme. Just hope they bring back TopGear soon 'cos I dpn't know how much more I can take!!

I watched the first 15 minutes of the first show of this series and haven't watched it since. I actually choose to watch Coronation Street instead of 5th Gear, that's how bad it is.

Utter dross last night.
Who is the new presenter? The one with less charisma then a, well, Mitsubishi.
"It's exactly like driving a car". Er, no. It exactly like drive a quick van. Obviously they haven't let him out in anything decent yet.
I can only assume he's related to the boss.
As for VBH's sister - didn't get the looks did she?!!

What a waste that LP640 review was.
First they try & fail to race a Tornado jet in a straight line so then we get throttle blips and little else.
Utter ****e.
That was a new Sky+ record for me at just 6 minutes.

Why would anyone be interested in seeing yet another member of thunder thighs family learning to drive?
Total waste of a chance to review the new entry level Elise.
It's utter ***** but does have that car crash quality that means you can't help looking.
Also that **** mockney makes me want to smash the TV in.

I'm watching it now, just for the prize.
Last nights was utter cr@p. Like said above, the LP640 review, was not a review. Blipping the throttle is not a review.
Kept turning it over when:
VBH was driving her sister about
They reviewed the Skoda something or other. God those women were ugly, especially the buck toothed one in the nurses outfit
Racing the vans
After I'd entered the competition for the Elise, I saw very little more of the program. Watched more Rouge Trader's than 5th Gear.
Will still watch next week though. Mostly to enter the competition though.
