    Just a heads up to remind ye that Top Gear is back for a new series tonight at 8 BBC2.

    @Mods
    I posted here rather than the Top Gear forum as Motors gets far more traffic. Hope that's alright.

    Thanks for that, Top Gear is notoriously difficult to find a schedule for, why?

    Falling ratings, PC correctness, somewhat duller and effeminate presentations. Only the 'specials' in the last three series have saved the day.

    On going battle with Clarkson and the BBC, CLarkson slowly losing as he bends to BBC protocol, and the more he bends the more fans he loses.

    I thought it was gone a bit silly latley. I think fifth gear is better tbh. They never test normal cars only things we will never drive.

    Well rumor goes that they whant to finish of, as the show is still on high roll. I thing hamond decided to stay thought.

    Thing is, top gear has zero value if you are watching it seriuosly. I love top gear even if they are useless car reveiwers....they are just fun to watch. Allways a good crack involving good few cars. Thought one of the moust favirite things about top gear is the track. Cars tested around it by ( prety much) same person. So its quite accurate.

    5th gear is as annoying as anything. Tom - I couldn't be funny if my life was on the line - Ford, Tiff - I'll spend the entire time driving the car showing off my driving skills - Needel, Jason - full of sh1t - Smith, Jonny - I wanted to be on MTV, but instead I'm stuck here - Smith, and last, and least, and well past her sell by date for being interesting in any respect VBH.

    The show is just average. RTE could do 5th gear.

    Top Gear is about just a bunch of lads, having a laugh. Taking the piss out of everything, having a playboy lifestyle with their challenges, and the rest of us who hate PC'ness, having to have a boring life can identify with it. If Top Gear decided in the morning to start reviewing the Octavia, or the new 1.2 Golf, I'd officially give up on life. It's the escapism that makes it work so well as a concept and as a show.

    They could turn a Nox powered Octavia RS into the worlds fastest hatchback based removal van, what with its enormous boot. ;)

    There's a feature on 5 k super saloons...well ish. MB 190 Cossie, Sierra Cossie and an E36 M3. That should actually be good.

    What I wouldn't give for a 190 Cossie...first born for an Evo:D
