When my mate chris spoke to Hammond at at weston wheels few years back he said what hammond knows about cars internals is mindblowing.
Hes the one who inspired him to supercharge his 1 litre polo

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.
Exactly, 5th gear is car led, top gear is clarkson and tv led. I like both tbh

When Thelby (sp) motorsport ran the britcar 24hr race with TG they said they couldnt belive how capable all 3 drivers were, much much better than has ever been previously written about

Failed??
Driving for the works nissan team in LeMans is failing??? Whats passing?
VBH was a known rally driver and done quite well.
Plato isn't exactly a shy racing driver either?

Agreed - lose him and it'd be 1000% times better.

i did say baring plato
its well known tiff never got to the levle he should of in most of his career, espically early on, great driver to provide a spectical though
VBH didnt do nearly as well as her competitors at the time (female ones) 
i do however find them both massivly annoying

Also the same Tom Ford that clearly isn't good enough to present TG, so has to go onto the CH5 version instead?
Awesomeness.
