Good to see a capri with its ass hanging out, brings back fond memories!
Sad to see a capri with steam under the bonnet, brings back reallity memories!

I understand what people are saying about topgear being same old. same old, veiwers are saying it to the bbc too. Andy willman (top gear producer) wrote a passage about it in top gear magazine last month. They are aware of the problems, so i hope they do something about it.

Although I shall be definitely watching "5th Gear" on the episode where they have the Black 3-door Cosworth versus the Merc 2.5-16 190E.
Jason Plato is driving both in a 'shoot-out' type event.
Think it's on the episode a week tomorrow- the 27th

SIMPLE
I don't think I will from here on in.

Script:

All 3 buy shitty old cars, first 2 show up, take the piss out of each others cars

"only a total imbecile would buy an 'x' for this challenge"

enter hamster driving an 'x'

hammond bumps into may's car everytime they park anywhere.

Seems to me like they've really dumbed it down to appeal to 15yr olds who will believe anything they see.

For some constructive criticism, I'd say why can't they bring back even a half serious review of the odd car now and then?

Don't think 5th Gear is all that bad, at the moment, I'd say it was the better 'car programme'

Yeh, it is becoming less entertaining now as you can always pre-empt what they are going to do and say.

They need to be a little less predictable. You'll always know Clarkson reviewing a car will say it's good bits then say BUT this is wrong, this is wrong etc.

Even simple things like Clarkson explaining bad points first would make it feel different. They also need to get rid of the Star in a reasonably priced car in my opinion also as it seperates the show, to be honest I use it as an extended ad break so I can go make a cup of tea and a Jam butty!!

I watched tonight and couldnt hlp but laught, the 2 main never ending debates on PF are fwd is wank and rwd is better and german and jap cars being better than fords. Fucking hell it was as if the top gear crew are members of Passionford. lol

Funny how the jap and german motors lasted the whole trip and the ford barely made it into france and had to be rescued by a morris marina lol

I liked the first episode with the train,, that was really kewl,, but i have to say its watchable but getting boring too.
