Rubbish. Top Gear is entertaining. It's an entertaining hour for petrolheads. I look forward to it every week.

However, i watched Fifth Gear last night and thought - WTF is this - am i still watching a car program? Utter tripe.

It's complete pants, utterly stupid and hateful. I have avoided watching it for weeks, gave it another chance last night to see stupid test of an old Merc involving an annoying squealy woman hitting panels with a baseball bat. Turned straight over to let SWIMBO watch Eastenders.........Mind due, the last series involved nothing more than annoying squealy woman testing Aston'e etc by just doing not much more than burnouts, and Tiff whinging about Diesels being no good on a race track....shock horror!

EAST 'KIN ENDERS :eek: That programme is in a league of its own for crappiness.

I'd rather sew my eyelids shut than watch that depressing drivel.:thumbdwn:

5th Gear may be bad, I don't watch it now, but Eastenders is misery on a stick

I agree.

Eastenders = :pants:

the only reason I allow Fifth gear on the square box is my hampster enjoys it, seems he is the the only one is the house that understand VBH high pitch squeals everytime something happen ..

Top gear is going downhill of late but they have a long way to go before getting anywhere near fifth gear or even worse Vroom Vroom. Should be called flush flush cause when I watch it I get an urge to flush the toilet, it is that ****.

All agreed on the Fifth Gear being :pants:, but it is still miles better than ITV's Pulling Power... my god what a load of tripe those two spout. I liked the cockeny bloke better when he was doing that 2nd hand car program on BBC 2 (iirc)

^ That was quite a good show, the 2nd hand car one. I know the one you mean.

On the subject of car shows on TV, whatever happened to Quentin Wilson? I always enjoyed his used car advice, although it always seemed to centre around what a nice BMW 7 series or MB S-Class you can get for 14k instead of a new Mondeo.

Deals on Wheels? I thought it was a pretty good show too, actually showed useful things about buying and selling cars, etc., rather than just drifting

Deals on Wheels, that's the one!

Yes, Deals on Wheels. Had a bald bloke doing the dealing if i remember it correctly. Excellent tips on getting the best deal when dealing with the trade.

That was Wrong Car, Right Car...

Rob.

Hmm, now I'm not so sure anymore... Either way, those programs were both miles better than Pulling Power has ever been

iirc deals on wheels was on channel 4 , mike brewer was the bloke on that , and some bloke called dom was on the bbc2 programme

I don

I'd like to see reviews of cars I'm ever likely to own - whilst Lambos and Ferraris are all well and good, they're a little pointless. Lets see some comparison within sectors and see what we're best spending our money on - I remember the most rediculous test being the 911RS vs the Ferrari whatever Challenge Stradale - Porsche was 70K cheaper and despite being down on power was lapping quicker - these are both track cars, end of story - yet the Ferrari won because it was a Ferrari and Jeremy likes them - 70K will buy you a nice S-Class for a runaround :eek:
