Sweet, found this thread in time :)

[turbo_equiped]

[Akagi Redsuns]

It's on..........I love this show.

[/////AMG]

I think most ppl would want to watch the second episode than the first.

It's going to repeat at 11PM.

[CKY]

i missed it today :banghead:
so are they just replaying stuff from england or do we have our own host and our cars test driven??

[Akagi Redsuns]

Replaying stuff from England. Same hosts, Tiff, some others and Vicky. Something about a small blonde driving the crap out of exotic cars that gets to me :drool:

[/////AMG]

Yah same show as the one in England, they are current ones.
I thought they were great. Why don't they bring Top Gear over here aswell!?

[Akagi Redsuns]

They had Top Gear for a while on BBC World but I don't see it in the listings anymore :(

[fast95pony]

Cool show !! The editing is very slick. See the guy pulling the Citroen apart ?? Too funny ! If the car is crap , they say IT'S CRAP ! No sucking up like the shows here.:thumbsup:

What was that Nissan that ripped the Viper a new one ??

top gear is so much better than 5 gear

[Xtrema]

Yeh man, fucking insane. That one dude who dropped like $30,000 Quids into his Sunny, and ripped the shit out of that stock Viper the chick host was driving.

[iceburns288]

That article says no Ferrari can outaccelerate either of those cars, and it says the 0-60 is the traditional benchmark. A 360CS can beat that, a 360 Modena can beat that, an Enzo (of course) can beat that, a 550, 575M, 612S, F50, 355 all can beat it, and those are in the past 9-10 years in case the article is old.

yep. Top Gear owns it 100 times over. Tiff should of stayed with Top Gear. His talents go wasted on 5th gear driving shit cars. Rarely do they review anything good.

but 5th is more humor oreinted since they can always comment on the shitty cheap cars

EDIT: ops, got the two mixed up, but thte last fifth gear ep that came out was at teh end on may, and havn't had one since i believe

[fast95pony]

I think 5th Gear is great. It's wayyyy more interesting than the boring the Autoweek,Car and Driver TV etc., and they showcase cars we don't normally get a look at.

Best of all , it's not another NASCRAP show !! :D

[/////AMG]

Of course it's better than the American shows, it's British. Top gear is better than 5th gear, but atleast we get one of them now!

[/////AMG]

bump for the people who missed the shows. 2 episodes airing at 7 today.

[Redlyne_mr2]

Thanks AMG Im watching it now. Lol as weak as this show is its much better than the Nascar that they air 24/7

[/////AMG]

The 7PM show was great, the showed the Pagani Zonda S first. :drool:

But you're right Redlyne_mr2, kinda crappy show, they don't show too much new stuff. Top Gear is way better, IMO.
