lol yeah the caravan holliday is a good one...

if u see some with tiff when he was still on top gear they are pretty cool. basically here is how it went down...

when top gear started it was pretty much what the car shows in america are like. then clarkson came in with tiff and some blond and the show started becoming a hit. however clarkson opinion was so influential in how well a car sold that the companies lobbied to get him off the air the show died. so then tiff and the blond decided to start a show on bbc's rival channel 5 called 5th gear, but before the show started bbc changed their mind and brought clarkson back with hammond and some fat guy everyone hated and they replaced the next season with james may.

5th gear is still on the air but is not as popular as top gear, 5th gear is much more low key and more about testing the cars then going crazy with them lol.

however tiff is one of the best drivers in the world and very easily excitable when he drives a car he likes lol. watch the one where he tests the maclarlen f1 or top gear car of the year 1997 where he drifts a fwd ford puma better then clarkson can drift a rwd car. tiff used to drive f1 and also holds the world record for fastest speed driven in a production car and now competes in the uk's drift series.

car of the year 97

fifth gear is a solid show but its not much different than watching an episode of car and driver or motor trend, pretty basic car testing show.

That episode of top gear was great . I had a Hilux Toyota truck that had 329k miles when I sold it . Tried to break mine too but could not . First car as a 16 y/o kid driving like a nut . Too funny , I almost pissed myself laughing watching this on TV a while back
