I hate to be the first person to say it, but im staring to enjoy fifth gear slightly more then top gear.
Dont shoot me
I hate the presenters but they have mre affordable cars on there and they spend more time reviewing cars.
over the last year top gear seem to just use most of the show tolark about doing pointless tasks, and when they finally do review a car, its half a million pound. And further more they never draw a positive conclusion to any car they test really.
They seem to be straying off the mark a bit.

they are trying to challenge top gear by making it more accessible to us little people by doing it in a 'pub'.  lol plus bugatti veyrons and bodged aquatic cars r more fun and enjoyable to watch than fiat pandas...fact!

yes, keep the super cars in but atleast stick some sporty affordable cars into the mix, liek they used to back in the day
Top gear is just getting predictable, with the cockups that always seem to happen on the experiments. they are done on purpose half the time and tbh, they are not funny anymore. interesting to watch but not funny

most people know its all loosely scripted. its not the important thing. its accesible and orientated around a family audience rather than in a patronising way. its genuine good television! u dont see tht much these days to be fair lol

lol yeah, but thats the beauty of it man. its a motoring show thats so unique. its still cars that they use in everything. its just not as much of a review show anymore. its a true 'boys toys' type of thing lol

No, they are doing it in Ace Cafe. There is a reason for doing it there, I suggest you find out what Ace Cafe is.

I liked it. Its not as polished as Top Gear but at least they get on and review something.
Top Gear this week was funny, but in an hour they just did the R8, boats, star in the car and boats again. Thats not really a motoring show is it.....

Ok, so R8 was a proper nice car and they showed it for 10 minutes. Good review it was too. The reasonably priced car is a shitter, though the guest was good and made up for it. But 40 minutes of sailing doesn't make it a car show.
Don't get me wrong. I love the programme - best thing on TV, but that episode was far more mucking about than actually driving decent cars

i just to be top gears biggest fan now its just shit. I really wanted to see which was quicker round a track, that 911 or lambo last week but alas, just some scripted drivvel about 'trying' to find a decent road.
5th gear on the other hand put plato and tif in a z4 and 350 z and just thrashed them round a track.

Only thing I don't like is the SIARPC on Top Gear, bit too much chat, and its obvious that people won't come on now unless that get a plug for their latest album/book/film/customsandwichtoastingdevice.
Rest of it is damn entertaining, and with Clarkson on there it's often refreshingly un-PC.
