Fifth Gear - SV650.org

Is it just me or is fifth gear going right down the tubes

I used to really enjoy watching it, they really tested cars, had proper time trial races between rival car types and had really informative safety info on crashes and driving conditions. It really was good competition for top gear and filled in a lot of topic blanks left out by top gear.
But the new series just seems like they've given up. Most of the topics are just rubbish and they seem to be blending with the gadget show in that stupid cafe

Like that "trash my ride" or whatever it was called, where they crushed a car every week

This week they put gravy and vodka in a Daihatsu Charade and drag raced a Chevrolet Matiz

and don't even get my started on that soccer am tit, he couldn't present his way out of a paper bag

Sorry to sound like a grumpy old man here

I just think its a shame their spoiling what was a good programme

I just don't bother anymore.

It was good but they've gone all chav in an attempt to win some of the top gear crowed.

Its not worked, at all..... Gone down the pan big time IMO.
