Cool Litchfield Impreza Type25 on 5th gear tonight

Channel 5 @ 20:00
....and driven by Jason Potato.


Wonder if it's the white race car or the blue demo?

Either way - well done Ian. Couldn't get better publicity
Poor sod will be rushed off his feet with orders for Type20/25 after this (as if winning the TimeAttack wasn't enough)

Why i ask? he knows f*** all about cars, cant drive, does not want to drive (fast) and is just not suited to Fifth Gear.

Needs the boot straight away.

Fifth Gear is going down the pan!!!!

Agree with above. Good review, and would love to own one.

Think Plato hit the nail on the head at the end though. Most buyers will be rich men with supercars in their garage already, and it's just a quick but practical 4 door saloon to drive around in.

Most people with £40-£50k ONLY to spend on a car would probably go for a manufacturer car ie, RS4 etc. I know I would. But, if I was rich enough to have a few cars, then a Type 25 would be one of them sat in the garage.


Edit : Have to say though, I quite enjoyed the whole program tonight. Best 5th Gear so far this series. Well, apart from the viewers car review tapes, and VBH squeeling all the time.
And that Capri Get a life, you sad B@stard

Typical, missed the start and ended up watching the whole lousy thing waiting for the Type25, only to find out it was on right at the start..

May i ask how was Ian Poulter a tosser in his ford GT???

But your right, Lovejoy is fantastic on soccer AM and should stick to what he knows!

The Type 25 looked awesome, even better in the flesh

Default Papa got a brand new bag

I don't know why the hawkeye doesn't look so good in pictures as it's awsome in the flesh.

Must be camera shy
