Thanks for the heads up.

I see that they're still doing crash tests. I wonder if anyone is remotely interested in these.

I much prefer this to the silliness that is Top Gear.

Though i would prefer it without whingy Plato ,gone right off him this year.

It's still a car show, we need to support it or else they will go and we will just have soaps and reality shows.....

I am. The worst thing they could do is to try and copy TG with a tenth ( if they are lucky ) of the budget. The basics of the show are there, they've just had problems with knob-head presenters and of course being Channel 5, trying to drop a Z list celeb in there at times.
Take the recent F458 v MP4, was much more interesting that TG's view.

Totally agree. In fact I've got to the stage where I can't watch TG as it's just the same cynical rehash of wrecking and rubbish.

Keep Tiff and Vicks on 5th. Not sure about the skinny tosser.

I like the skinny tosser. He did a good Pebble Beach article here recently I think, and as usual there was stuff in there that no other journo would find.

fantastic..thanks for the heads-up
I enjoy Fifth gear as much as Top gear

That explains the timing of Top Gear US now being screened at 7:30pm starting next Friday on BBC3. Sky Plus to the rescue.

One of my favourite programmes.
I find the crash tests interesting,and they've also got plenty 'car person' stuff like the PPC SD1 last series.
As mentioned, considering the budget and channel I think it's a decent effort.

Thanks for the heads-up. I also like the crash stuff - frequently revealing.

The added bonus is that a single VBH-squeal is worth a thousand Clarskonisms.

He used to annoy me, but I think he's settled down now and isn't trying so hard to be zany.

Or just not watch Top Gear USA.

I highly recommend recording 5th Gear anyway, then you can whizz through the ads, competition and about 10 minutes of what is coming up later!

I usually do, takes about 10 minutes to watch the whole thing.

What's on it tonight? I hope they do the Boss 302 this series.

I much prefer Fifth Gear to Top Gear nowadays. Im genuinely excited for a new episode.
