Yep it was trying.....my patience.

Problem now is the show is trying to be something it isn't, the presenters are rubbish, the camera work is rubbish the content is rubbish.

The budget is miles lower than of Top Gear.

The annoying thing was they had three good cars on, it could have been a half decent show. Arguably it has more good cars than top gear and still fails. (awaits fail boat pictures)

missed it, cant find if there is a repeat, anyone know ?

Tom|Nbk · 21 Jan 2008 at 21:08

The whole show was a waste of time. It left me thinking "What the hell". There was no sense of direction with it, nothing.

I'll not put myself through that again.

Jesus, if you lot hate it so much, stop watching it.

I quite enjoyed it. Johnny Smith is getting to be a decent, if quirky, presenter too.

Yea, next week is a Mr Potato head vs an Atom, woohoo!

Meh at least they made it up by playing Ronin, get some decent car chases.

I'd still hit Vicki B-H though. If only to find out whether she makes that squealing noise then as well. the others I'd only hit with a baseball bat.

Quick question: has 5th gear EVER given a car a proper bad review? As opposed to a couple of minor criticisms?

The budget is so low they don't dare.

Funny that you more than likely hit the nail right on the head there.

The best quote from this evening's show has to have been "if you want an off road jeep, buy a freelander"

Bennah · 21 Jan 2008 at 21:45

It was ok. Nothing hugely special about it.

Remember from now on you have to start watching at 8 for the 'new' shoot outs. Dont forget

c0caine · 21 Jan 2008 at 21:48

is it repeated? i forgot to record it.

Thats just like saying, if you want to go fast in a 5 door hatchback, buy an Astra 1.4 LS

Johnny smith usually makes it worthwhile watching imo.

Ben M · 21 Jan 2008 at 22:02

all they do is talk about their ****ing competition, i can never stand to watch it for more than about 5 mins.

no, it's like saying "if you want a hatch back Ford, buy a Kia Picanto" because Jeep is a brand.

Surely be on a Five life or on some toher digital channel , infact Wednesday springs to mid for some reason

Beerguzzler · 21 Jan 2008 at 23:44

The offroading bit was pathetic, so he drives a front wheel drive car with 1 inch thick wheels into a rut and across a field for no interesting reason and compares it to a 4wd modern offroader. Surprised they didnt race it and compare it to a ferrari. What happened to proper car reviews, didn't say anything of use or interesting at all about the cars.

Also watching that twit Tiff try to show off how amazing he is was extremely boring.

The only good bit was seeing all those collectors cars.

Tiff Needell in powersliding shocker, seriously, does the man do anything else?
