Fifth Gear
What the hell was that about?! They managed a whole hour of nothing, it was crap. Tiff seems to be freelancing, the other guy has disappeared and they got a new guy who is destroying it completely. That program was so badly put together they were even putting out requests for a new presenter. Are channel 5 in trouble, they need a good dose of talent in the production team to keep our interests going.

Yep, was crap tv. The chip fat bit was interesting though. I think they must have spent most of their production money on trying to copy the top gear camera style.

I know its for TV, but could they ever drive a car normally around a track!
The answer is yes, as they did with the Clio Williams. But then when the 197 came on it was back to arse out style.

Yeah, noticed the arse out bit, that's just Tiff showing off, doesnt make for fast driving though. No mention of times around the track when doing it properly compared to the Williams car either

Its the first episode I've seen in a few months and what rubbish it was too!
However, the most disturbing thing for me was that I actually started to become annoyed with VBH - her predictable squeals and sawing of the steering wheel in the Cayman finally drove me to wander off to my kitchen, horrified that VBH had finally got on my nerves
Tiff's driving is getting very boring - is his assessment of a car's handling solely based on how easily he can drift it?

The Clio Williams vs Clio 192 had potential to be a really good article, but there was no real comparison of acceloration, lap times, handling etc.
In the end it turned out being a complete waste of time.
