Fifth Gear

ok I didn't realise she had gotten fat, last time I saw fifth gear was probably a couple of years a go, I do like her laugh though, I bet she's right dirty

So you're not a fan of 5G then?

Last time I watched 5th Gear VBH clearly cannot drive.

She kept letting go of the steering wheel whilst racing Tiff.

Let's face it, it's hard to beat Tiff at all, let alone whilst not controlling the car all of the time. Suprislingly, he always seems to win.

...

Here we have Tiff in the Prius, he's only keeping it in Electric mode.
VBH is in the Zonda.

It's a close one, but Tiff wins the one-lap-sprint by 2hrs 59secs.

She can drive a lot better than 99% of this forum

Agreed. And talking of VBH, 'WTF' to calling her fat. :confused:

If this is fat, then no wonder so many teenage girls in this country suffer from eating disorders. Sure, she is not a stick insect but fat?? Come on........

That's not to say I would though, she does nothing for me...

Anyway, back on topic.

5G is a poor comparison to TG, and some of it is just embarrasing. Especially in the way it tries to copy TG so much. It's not un-watchable though, and it does have it's good moments.

If you want to see a really bad car related TV show watch Vroom Vroom on Sky. Bad isn't the word. It's mind numbingly awfull.

Agreed.

Too many people in this world see nothing but airbrushed models/actresses in magazines and stick-insect porn stars, so anyone who's got a womanly shape to them is "fat"

I also agree with you DreXeL about Vroom Vroom, absolutely appalling.

brocksta · 30 May 2006 at 11:57

tbh i like the crazy races top gear does. if they didnt have them everyone would probably say the show was boring. and yea 5G definately tries too hard to copy TG.

D4VE · 30 May 2006 at 12:13

Womanly curves > stick insect model anyday.

If you want to feel the heat, you gotta have the meat.

peterattheboro · 30 May 2006 at 12:37

I don't even watch Fifth Gear cos Tiff creams himself after every corner he takes when doing a track test.

I watched 15 mins of that last week then turned back onto UKTV People to watch a TG ive already seen about 4 times.

5th Gear is a good show, they just need to stop copying TG and be normal, its all the stupid dull games and ideas that they come up with that are boring, they dont test enough supercars around a track either, i was very disappointed by the Zonda F review they done.

spaz · 30 May 2006 at 12:40

Sometimes I find fifth gear reviews for supercars very strange, they'll often say it is very quick etc, but then say they wouldn;t have one due to poor fuel economy or bad visibility, what do you expect for a supercar!

no one's calling her fat, but you can't really call her a drool subject, can you? Not fat. Just merely double chin (which she has), size 14 (which she undoubtedly is most of the year). You would be hard pressed to walk 500 yards in your local mall and not find one girl that's just like her. They are everywhere - same brute bleeched hair, same generic catalogue clothing, size too small pants forced on the creating unsightly roll of pale skin bulding out between belt line and short top. Random lipstick line for lips too thin to outline, shiny powder to cover zits and pet induced rashes. Everygirl.

Sirrel Squirrel · 30 May 2006 at 12:47

After that description by von of her I assumed the worst but actually I would still hit it, just that I hadn't seen her for a couple of years I assumed the worst, please forgive me

Kroegen · 30 May 2006 at 12:50

Top gear > fifth Gear.

Top gear has been around forever, unlike 5th gear.

Yes, I agree with all of that. Like I said, she does nothing for me atall. I was referring to the 'size 14' (were you implying that a 14 is fat?) and 'I hadn't realised she had got fat' (Sirrel Squirrel) comments. Added together they read like there a general consensus that she is fat.

If you weren't implying that she was fat then my apologies for mis-reading your comment.

Like I said though, I agree with your point that she is certainly nothing to drool over.

Got to agree with Rotty, Top Gear is bordering on turning into an awful show. The "special features" they are having to think up are getting very tedious, especially Clarksons attempts at car interior design.

Hopefully I am wrong, but I fear its going to get worse as the series goes on ans start to annoy people.

Then again, they have a long way to go before they drop to Vroom Vroom's level.

That had me absolutely howling when hammond was testing it.

Whereas I just found it as funny entertainment - I don't watch TG to find out about new cars, I watch it becuase it's amusing and funny and a good bit of light entertainment to end the weekend with.

GSDog · 30 May 2006 at 14:05

I thought it was just me that thought this!

The first thing was the photography, they have completely copied Top Gear. I hate the guy who does Fifth Gear anyway, he is quite strange. Have you seen his eyebrows - they keep moving up and down.

Anyway, yeah it was really annoying. Fifth Gear will never be as good as Top Gear.

EDIT: It was really funny when the presenter saw Michael schumaker and called him 'shuuy' like they are best mates, but he doesn't actualy know him...
