I enjoyed 5th gear......

Post by Andy G » Mon Sep 03, 2007 10:17 pm

well not all of it clearly, but the Veyron stuff was good, and the trailer for next week with the Carrera 4 vs the R8 might even be good.

Now if they could get rid of the prattling about in the cafe and that weird skinny bloke that is a total tw*t.

Also enjoyed watching them go round Combe in the S5 and 335i despite that dizzy blonde slapper being at the helm.

Maybe I'm going through Top Gear withdrawal :oops:

Aye, there's a reason why that bunch were sacked from TG - sometimes I have to switch the sound off and just watch the cars

It was better than usual, still painfull to watch. The Veyron bit was ok, till Tiffany did his entertaining the chavs party piece 'look how sideways I can get this Vey.... oh wait I cant'.

I missed the veyron bit :( work phoned, but to get my own back I'm writting this on their time :D

is it just me who thiks that the veyron may not be the fasted round a track and thats why the stig isn't getting his hands on one ?


why did they bolt the 2 smart cars together ? the roadtest was reasonable before that althoough they could have compared it with the oposition. and not in a top gear style

i.e. testing a modeo a vectra and an M5 befor etelling us that the M5 is the best and neglecting to mentioon that for the money you could have both the mondeo and vectra and maybe a small boat for the change!

loved the estate car "test"

the Merc is big and expensive
the volvo has a flip up boot thing
the mondeo is cheap and looks good

Nope, I dont think it would make it into the top 5.

the estate car thing looked like a gap filler - the weakest test ever :roll:

The Smart thing was also crap - although i hope the a*se would hurt himself when he toppled it - if only i had been on hand with a box of matches :twisted:
