5th gear cant match TG for entertainment but it will do until TG comes back.

Re: Fifth Gear is back on Monday, 11th August
I'm not a fan of Fifth gear.. It's not as good as TG.. and especially for entertainment TG is BEST!!!

Re: Fifth Gear is back on Monday, 11th August
Well, I really liked it  Top show - really entertaining yet informative and factual. Good stuff and dare I say it, Alfa's aside, possible better than the last series of Top Gear

Re: Fifth Gear is back on Monday, 11th August
They did a shoot out between the imprezza and evo X... whatever the hell number they are up to these days. Tested the new ford cougar softroader and got it stuck in a field after finding out it didn't have that much clearance and doing £7k of damages to the underneath. Tried to make an old small car more economical (polo 1.6) and got about 3 mpg less after spending money getting it chipped and putting on eco tyres  had a glimpse of a limited edition land rover that looked like it had been beaten by the ugly stick which itself was wielded by the uglier of the ugly sisters. And VBH helped some snooker person choose a car, and he chose an M3.
Does that sum it up?, do you think radiotimes would employ me, I fancy a change of career

Yup
The only bit I enjoyed was watching Ronnie O'Sullivan's face as VBH took him on those test drives
Tom Ford is a tit... that Max Power guy is a tit.... and the new guy has all the hallmarks of being a tit too
