Blasphemy!!!
 
ok so there is VBH for eye candy, Jason Plato for the fun fast stuff, Tiff for the fast fun stuff going in circles/backward, and then Tom for the qurky stuff
but James May? that man makes me pmsl!!
Hamster is fun cos we can pick on him and he knows we dont mean it, and is bonkers, i would say deserves his own show but he already got 3 or more!
and JC is just class, no where else do you see an 8year old boy driving the bets cars in the world. plus there is the celebrity factor. not silly A list stars to promote stuff, or Z list wanna be. great fun
saying all this if i had to watch only one i'd struggle!

Top Gear is straying from the cars too much I think, 5th gear deals with real life situations/issues
Top Gear is a lot funnier though, but its almost a chat show nowdays

they should replace hammond with Sabine Schmitz, and have jc just doing the interview bits because he cant drive for shit

totally agree, wreaking the Volvo sounds familar (Toyota?)
Racing a C6 around a "village" being shot at sounds familiar (Merc Vs Porsche)
i'm pretty siure last series there was a "buyt a old car for less than £5000" type challenge too...

tbh, i dont mind 5th gear especially as the presenters (apart from the long haired fella) can actually drive unlike JC,Hammond, James!
Agree that they copy each other a bit, but 5th gear seems to do more "affordable" cars rather than the supercar stuff.
Plus Vicky is top bananas (especially tonight when they were jumping up and down)

5th Gear is dull. Pisses me off when they keep having digs at Top Gear. Correct me if i'm wrong but isnt 5th gear on CH5 ffs?!!
Top Gear makes me laugh, lap times by the stig is cool, stars in reasonably priced cars in good fun, those insanse international races they do are the nuts..... Top Gear is fully ace. VBH isn't that nice looking tbh, she has a husky man like voice too

5th gear isn't a patch on top gear imo. Top gear has the cars, the humour and well... who else would sink d.i.y amphibious motors
