5th gear really is.....

Post by CSK_423 » Mon May 14, 2007 8:47 pm

the laughing stock of car programmes, it's just finished, the highlight of the show was tiff trying to see if some dodgy chav models sitting in the back of a bentley rag top could get there hair to stop blowing about on the way to 150mph.

It was gash !!!

ps they have a competition to win a 2001 M5 :roll:

No, it's just you're the only one to have actually wasted the 60 minutes of your life watching it - I think the Eurovision highlights were on the other channel :-)

watched it for the first time this series.....its an improvement on the last series, but for f***s sake. If they would stop trying to copy Top Gear and make a show with talented people about cars, they might find their own niche where TG used to be before the comedy took over.

Beyond laughable now with the blatant TG copies (12 hours in a Smart) the bouncing a chicken off the windscreen was even more tedious and pointless than last weeks 'lets see what happens when we run a car with no oil in it' bit.

The only good bit was the few seconds of real C'était un Rendezvous footage not VBH's oink squeak piggy piggy remake.

But tens of thousands of idiots call in at £1 because they know the answer.

Can you blame the TV programs for not taking advantage of them?

Just wish I could get in on the action myself.

I thought the first in this series was a small improvement over the last series BUT that was as good as it got - probably watched less than 5 mins last night before giving up on it. Get Top Gear back on as soon as!! Keith
