Caleb Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 i think top gear has become more of a family show than a car show these days where as i found fith gear pretty funny and they tested a lot more cars.ill choose 5th gear to be different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Aww I missed fifth gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Anyone who says fifth gear over Top gear deserves to have their toes ripped off.Another vote for Top gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A!! Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Definitely top gear Although i have seen the odd bike vs car races in fith gear which i like to watch, and i think it is the one thing that top gear misses mainly due to Jeremy Clarkson, as Richard Hammond and James May both own bikes.

zoo Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Top gear by miles...fifth gear always has the cars that top gear showed a week before them on there show (not always but any super cars they have on the show,have normally been on top gear already) That vicky henderson spoils it for me,hate her! Well i hate the whole show in general.zoo baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 the problem with these programs is that when people like jeremy clarkson have honsetly reviewed cars before, such as the toyota corolla, and hated them, the public took his review seriously and toyota wont have there cars on the show.its the same with the mk1 vectra, clarkson spent a full minute, silent and blank faced drumming on the roof. he found it that boring. many of the old luton based vauhall plant workers blame that review for there closure.i mean stoires like this may not be totally true, these comin from the bbc and clarkson himself, but they must be a contributing factor as to why the show doesnt have as many serious reviews on "normal" cars, the industry as such just wouldnt like it.and any way who need that when youve got the wit of the top gear presenters!the show genius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 (edited) Jeremy clackson is a wanker though, thats why everyone loves him Top gear is definately better espacialy its funded by the bbc so no effing breaks and great stunts like the rocket car and non working perminate markers. I personally found 5th gear boring and too much copying. Edited September 25, 2006 by Joelio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Does fifth gear have a little small hobbit crash at over 300mph and still live and walk after only 30 hours?No, didnt think so...TOP GEAR DOES THOUGH!!!!

Tomm Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 i watch them both for there entertainment value, not as a serious review, well yea of course a 1.8 tdci is gunna be slow when you own a gt-40, but i dont own a gt 40 and do 20k a year. I also don't own a GT40 (or any other supercar, for that matter) and I have no interest in buying the new Vectra. But I still watch Top Gear, because it's about the most entertaining thing on TV. I don't think you can base a car program on "useful reviews" because no-one would watch it because normal people don't buy a new car every week.

br3n Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 5th gear was utter shite, no one in their right mind could argue against that, theyre like top gear on a £5 budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 TOP GEAR, original and best, 5th Gear is just a total rip off, with old Top Gear presenters!!!

Haz Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Want car reviews? Read What Car Magazine. Want to learn about supercars in an entertaining fashion? Watch Top Gear. Sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I watched Fifth Gear last, well, up until 10 minutes before end. I just got up and walked away 10 minutes before as the wankness was that bad.Who the f**k hosts a TV show in a cafe? Its also so blatently scripted, and the script is aweful, so they can't even get away with it.Also, Evo 9 vs Stunt Plane? Hello Top Gear a season or two ago. Fifth Gear is aweful, end of.

MadManMike Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Jeremy Clarkson pisses me off big time "It doesn't cost more than 30k so it must be shit" kind of attitude is f**king stupid. You can have fun in a £300 Polo GT - Just 'cos it doesn't have air con doesn't mean it has no appeal. Stuck up arsehole that is spoilt because he can buy top of the range cars, doesn't mean the cheaper ones are crap.Top Gear is a great program I just wish Jezza would get caught in a sleazy drug and whore scam and get fired and have to present the 3:30am weather on channel 9000 in Kazahkstan so we never see him again...

MadManMike Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I don't watch it enough to recall an exact time, he has done it and it annoyed me... I just think he's an idiot. There are some people you meet / hear and you hate them instantly because they sound annoying. Jeremy does that to me.He just seems cocky and I hate people like that, the kind of people that leave nightclubs on a stretcher for being cheeky to the wrong person...He says things like "It just feels cheap" - I should think anything would once you've driven the best in the world.

munkee Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 But things like " it just feels cheap" is literally because the car does. You spend £1000's on a car and they just bombard everything with plastic. Especially if it had a large price tag yet has the shittest interior ever.. then you can really see where the money you spent has gone.
