two weeks ago eck. You've missed 2 episodes.
Hmm... their track?
When I've watched they've either been hooning it around Castle Combe or Rockingham?
What car's were they taking around this 'new track?' or are you talking about what you can see out of their window in the studio?

P.s. I do feel 5th gear has improved this series compared to previous.

yeh ford kuga is boring.
They generally do...
Begining of the show something entertaining...
Then something pretty drab...
Then something pretty exciting
Then something interesting
Then something very drab.
Then something exciting
then something boring. End.

Neither Combe nor Rockingham are concrete tracks though are they? They're both tarmac IIRC?
It's definitely not Anglesey anymore.

Its at that place (cannot remember the name), Myrad or something, where they test all the cars.
Tiff knows FAR more about cars than clarkson, he knows how to drive them too. If you knew everything about your chosen subject, wouldn't you be a little cocky

Revised RX8. Increased handling, suspension, and they've also changed something with the whole oil pump setup (they never mentioned) and how they've sorted a lot of the high oil usage issues.
AS for people saying that headlight bit was boring, well, maybe to you wippersnappers in your corsas, but us older gits find that important.
We were looking at an R26 as one of the options when we chop the VXR in, but that headlight bulb alone cuts Renault out of the eqation instantly. 40 minutes+ to do a bulb.
At least VW have sorted it from the Mk4 (stupid feckin bulbs) to the Mk5. That stuff important (if your the kind thats bothered if all your lights are working anyway).
New porkie looks fun as well.

Agreed Would take Tif's and Platos car crtique over anything Top Gear has to offer. Top Gear is a good watch merely due to it being produced on a bigger budget.

TG is comical, 5th gear is informative.
5th gear is an actual CAR program. Top Gear is something with cars, whatever possible, to draw as big a ratings as they can.
Tiff - Ex LeMans driver
Plato - Ex BTCC champ
VBH - Ex rally driver
Ginger fool = Ginger fool (he interviewed D, he is a chump)
And gingerfools uglier borther?
TG
JC - Opinionated toff
Hamster - Petrol head, but without any technical knowledge
May - Technically aware, but sat int he 1950's......
For comedy, TG wins, for car information, 5th Gears better.
IMO before the leg humpers arrive.
