Top Gear NO 5th Gear

Post by OLD FART »

Another motoring show 5TH GEAR is on tonight on 72 at 7.30 pm and IMHO is well worth watching

We need to bring you up to speed Rad :P

Tiff used to be on topgear in the early days. He also used to race a group a starions including the only widebody versions.

Do you know how to download torrents? The lastest topgear series has been out since early November last year. You don't get the cut up versions and is in full hd. You can download all the 5th gear episodes too.

My two cents. It's crap. Just the other week Tiff was driving a lotus and referred to the noise of the waste gate when he backed off the throttle which is clearly wrong. It's compressor surge for those who actually know how a turbo engine operates. Just little things like that bug me when these people profess about their knowledge of cars. :roll:

I like top gear better.. those fellas don't pretend to be mechanical know hows. they just love their cars and have fun. It makes for a fun show, and you know not to expect too much tech mumbo jumbo from them.

Having said that, 5th gear often does have some good bits

I'm definately a fan of Top Gear but don't like 5th Gear that much. Top Gear is fun to watch but I just find 5th Gear too boring.

I agree, I love top gear. It is very very funny. I do however enjoy 5th gear. I think its great the way Vicki Butler-Henderson loves cars. She reminds me very much of a good friend of mine who loved cars but died of breats cancer at 33.
