TBH imo i think the reason Bugatti wont lend it them is becuase it wont set a hugely impressive lap time and thus will be looked at as a 'letdown' against its competitors

(i dont have much track experiance but surely you cant use all that power on that sort of track)

I agree - and they need to do tests on cars that are actually in the same league.

When they tested the 645i, Porsche Carrera then the Jag XKR on Pendine Sands it seemed totally unfair. imo it should have been a standard XK for it to be fair. Little things like that annoy me.

Also, the SLK55 AMG vs. BoxterS seemed stranged. Should have been a SLK350 AMG imo.

if you want to see cars 'normal' people can afford away and watch fifth gear as they specialise in pish like that but if you are a petrol head and like the look of prime exotic cars which set your pulse raging then watch top gear, simple as also whats up with the grey haired computer geek on fifth gear?

I dont' want to see car's normal people can drive, i enjoy the fact top gear drives cars I can only dream of!

However... They rarely drive or mention the cars these days at all... it's more about utter total nonsense.

It was obvious that Hugh Grant had agreed to only come on the show in return for a couple of minutes of his shitty little knicker wetting film being played.

Arsehole.

Rest of it was great IMO.

Fifth Gear studio bits I can't watch, they are dire.

Top Gear is better but I did come away from Sundays program wondering where the rest of it was. I also didn't like watching a cringeworthy bit of recycled Hugh Grant mediocrity in the form of his new film in which he plays the same person again with a different name, along side Drew Barrymore who appears to be doing the same.

At least you can look at Drew Barrymore and forget the drivel thats leaving her mouth.
