    I hope they dont do this. Clarkson and the lads can drive well, certainly not going to set the world alight but certainlty better than 99% of us. 5th Gear is dire.

    Iv tried so many times to get into 5th Gear but damm the show sucks ass. It feels so cheap with the lame phone in competitions for 2nd hand cars, the reviews sucks and the so called comedy segments never hit the mark. Tiff was great in original Top Gear but now just harps on about power sliding around corners and the rest of the presenters just have zero charisma.

    I like the races Tiff and Jason have the two of them are nuts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,539 ✭✭✭Mike Litoris


    No fcukin way....... Tiff is OK but the other two are tragic imo.

    Vicki butler Hendersons Voice Really really Really Irks me.

    and that Plato Fell just Irks me in General, didnt he et chucked off Top Gear for being Rubbish?

    and Tiffs Nasal Voice, Fuppin Irritating, 5th Gear seem to have stuck with the original Top Gear Formula of being a factual and informative program about Everyman cars, wheras Top Gear, and primarily Clarkson Realised where the Show needed to Go and delivered a high quality entertainment program with some Stuff about Cars.


    but hey, if you really really want to see the utter bowels of TV motoring programs, I remember the last time I was home there was some Sky program called 'Vroom Vroom' No seriously thats what it was called, I caught part of an episode where they were reviewin the Xtype Jag Diesel estate, one of the 'Tests'was how far away could you still hear the Stereo :rolleyes:

    So I say to all those people bagging on top gear, have you seen the alternatives???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    I don't mind 5th gear at all, I know it's got advertising undertones to just about everything it does but that's just a channel 5 thing. Other than that it's an alight car show. Now bare in mind I don't watch tv and only catch 5th gear when I come across them on the internet. I'm not over run with sky shows to compare against.

    I think that Vicki butler Henderson one is great in the show, there's something very sexy about the way she gets excited about driving cars fast.

    No way Clarkson and co are rubbish drivers whereas Plato is an excellent driver as with Tiff the problem is they have no carisma unlike the top Gear lads who are modern day incarnations of Victor Meldrew

    She is someone that I quite like, despite the fact that she isnt what one would normally call good looking.

    Especially the way she builds up a sentence then breaks it back down. Every fcuking sentence.

    I do watch Fifth Gear - but Plato gets on my wick big time - I actually can't watch him and forward through anything he drives, so it irks me when he gets his hands on an Aston cos I love to see those on these shows........I used to enjoy Tom Ford, but he appears to be gone from the current series of Fifth Gear - wouldn't like to see them combined..........

    Fifth Gear is for the cars we can afford, Top Gear is the guide for when I win the Lotto!!!:D

    DB9 for Monday;
    Cayman for Tuesday;
    430 for Wednesday;
    6 Series Coupe for Thursday;
    Audi Q7 for Friday (shopping and all that!);
    Carrera GT for Saturday
    Volante for Sunday (in case it's sunny!).........
    911 for Sunday (in case it's raining :o)

    clarkson is a crap driver. Even some of the comments he makes about the people drivin the reasonably priced car show he has little understanding.
    Anyone can slide a car on a runway. Clarkson is in no way accurate when sliding the car.

    I enjoy watching Tiff and Jason driving cars more so than when Clarkson and the others do. I really feel I can judge a car and see how it is really performing and be entertained by watching the drivers push the cars around a track on 5th gear more so than TopGear.

    I don't think I'd like to see the two combined. But it would be nice to see some of the lads from 5th Gear on TG! :) Also a bigger budget for 5th gear would be nice too.
