I really liked the footie bit. Just the way they got those little cars to perform and dance was better than any spanish guy on the beach with a dancing monkey.

I actually thought the car football was a good feature, i mean what else are you going to use those cars for?
some good driving there - coincided with something I was at Sunday put on by Honda. The guy there (Russ Swift) was demonstrating his stunt driving skills, parking a Civic in a gap 2 feet longer than the car with a handbrake turn of course!!! He was one of the drivers in the footie sketch.

Still chuckling at the previous week's episode - Quaint My Ride - quality

I have to admit the best one was last week's with the amphibious cars.

Having said that, I still enjoyed this weeks programme.

I know there is a fair smattering on here who don't like 5th Gear, but I do.

Both programmes have their own style, although I have noticed 5th Gear becomming a bit Top Gearish recently which I think is wrong.

They should stick to reporting on cars, and let the boys on the BBC play with their toys.

I just see it as light entertainment these days, I'd never take any reviews on it seriously as it needs to be contrived in a lot of areas to make good television. A serious motoring program would probably be dull as dishwater to 99.9% of viewers.

Really enjoyed the Jackie Stewart bit though as I could empathise with captain slow

Shame the continuity was so poor though.

One minute the pitch was dry, then soaking, then dry, then wet etc..
