Although the show was slightly disjointed and even more of an autocue jobby than normal I did like like the feature with the RC car and the plane feature as well. I think I'll keep watching...can only get better than the performance last night.

I can't stand the guy's grin, it looks surgically implanted like he couldn't take it off if he wanted. Hurry up Hamster, we need you back! :roll:

People write into the car mags and Streetfighters all the time "Why do you always show these incredible cars, instead of specials that people can build in their garage". The response is always "because your car/bike sucks, and if we did a feature on it we'd go out of business. Bring us a homebuild that's not b******s and we'll run it" Same sort of thing I reckon.

Exactly my point - Fifth Gear filled a gap between the unbelievable fantasy world of the TG cars, and the lucky-ass presenters paid to drive them and the mundane day-to-day existence most of us 'enjoy'.

FG has now just become a half-arsed synthetic clone programme using the worst bits and presenting styles of TG, Pimp My Ride, Used Car Roadshow, Driven and others. Tim Lovejoy (I'm still to work out whoever the hell he is) appears to be an arrogant, self-absorbed pr!ck with about as much automotive knowledge as a retarded leopard, and with charisma to match. (As an aside, did anyone else notice his hilariously camp walk, jeans-hitch and sparkly belt on his way to present the 'Wreck My Ride' *cough* 'feature' last night?)

Frankly, I'd rather amputate my left testicle with a bandsaw than sit through another episode.

Tim Lovejoy :lol:

FPMSL. Roll on!

You mean a Monaro? Hell yes bring it on!!! :twisted:

The bit that really annoyed me last night was the 'feature' on how to get better economy from your car - presented in a 'down with the kids' stylee by some unknown tw*t whose credentials were checked by the other even-lesser-tw*t (Tim Lovejoy).

TH (introducing unknown Tw*t): Now let me get this right - you're a car journalist so you know your stuff?
Unknown Tw*t: Yep

Wow! That's me convinced!! :roll:

Then the 'advice' turns out to be things like 'if you don't press the accelerator as hard it won't use as much petrol'.

<sarcasm>
NO!!!! REALLY???
</sarcasm>

Shame cos I used to like VBH but I won't be watching again...

Ha ha, good point....

Skip? :lol:

Ahh you mean the re-badged Holden Monaro! :wink: :lol:

Hell yeah, got to be the best car a Vauxhall badge has ever graced! 8)
