I Love Top Gear but all the Fake Calamities when they do the challenges are getting a bit predictable now.

5th gear is the one if your more of an informative viewer. :y

Someone who isn't fooled by the Big Fat T**t

TG is less about Motors now than the big Fat T**t and his two doormats

Nice one Pete :y :y :y

Based on past performance of the show, I would say TG but really starting to get bored with it now, will be interesting to see what Ben Collins contributes to FG in the future though.

Top Gear for motoring entertainment.
5th Gear for motoring news.
 :y
I actually like both for different reasons. I'm not sure  you can class the two shows in the same category any more. :-/

remember that Clarkson is acting a role, and isn't quite like he appears on TG
Title: Re: which program is the best
Post by: albitz on 19 January 2011, 12:15:00
That is very true. He is far more intelligent than he appears on TG, as his programme on Isambard Brunel demonstrated.
I know someone who claimed to have met him, and said he was a miserable pig ignorant tw*t.

I've read one of his books, in it he's complaining that where he lives in the Cotswoulds there's no restaurants close by and he has to drive. Thats one of the downsides of living in a huge house in beautiful countryside, i've got a good chippy down the road fancy swapping houses ::)

TG is a piss take on piss taking. And ultimately an excuse to smash stuff up, caravans obviously being top of the list.

You don't think "all" those stunts are supposed to be real do you?


I do watch FG as well, although I can't stand the skinny tw@ that used to present soccer a.m.
Title: Re: which program is the best
Post by: sierrapaul on 19 January 2011, 12:43:33
i love it when they smash up caravans cos there a pain in the arse on the roads.i had 1 jack knife in front of me on the m6 1 day and i drove my artic right throu it and laughed my cock off.and it was towed by an omega

You were driving too close.

So it is funny to have your property destroyed?

Post by: sierrapaul on 19 January 2011, 12:55:04
have you ever tried stopping a 44 ton truck in 50 yards at 60 mph?

No he wasn't. Closer closer! :-X
Title: Re: which program is the best
Post by: sierrapaul on 19 January 2011, 13:00:49
was thinking about writeing to top gear and see if they want to get sum trucks and go smashing up caravans on the roads on the friday before a bank holiday weekend.i think jc would be up for that i know i am.caravans should be banned from the roads
Title: Re: which program is the best
Post by: Elite Pete on 19 January 2011, 13:02:26
I think wagons and anything towing should be banned to the inside lanes of our motorways and dual carriageways ;D

How long did the caravan take to stop?

Think what would have happened if you had hit the tow car?

I tow and my biggest problem is Irish registered lorries doing 75mph + down hill causing huge wakes.

Apart from them never an issue.
Title: Re: which program is the best
Post by: sierrapaul on 19 January 2011, 13:05:52
you want to try driveing everywhere at 56 mph and not being able to overtake sumthing slower.and if it want for idiots like me the shops would be empty.

But caravans travel slightly faster than the lorries.

Worst problem on MWAYS are old farts and young girls MLOCing at 65 to 70

I am not overly bothered by 2 lanes for slower traffic as long as it isn't a 5 mile 0.01mph difference lorry race, I think it was the A14 as worst example.

But all trucks should be travelling at 56 mph and when you do get the odd one thats doing 57mph it takes forever to get past. The shops wouldn't be empty it would just take a little longer to get there thats all ;D

But banning trucks to the inside lane would cure that because they wouldn't be able to over take ;D

anyway top gear is still the best
Title: Re: which program is the best
Post by: Webby the Bear on 19 January 2011, 17:41:05
i'm gonna settle this argument :) lol

Of course top gear is better. i can't believe anyone could even compare TG to FG. ive seen almost all the TG shows and read almost all of JC's books. i have watched quite a few FG episodes too and in my opinion theyre boring. yes they do serious reviews on the cars normal people will buy but come on, what's exciting about a vauxhall corsa or a ford focus?

however TG takes these reviews and MAKES them interesting. thats why its viewed more!

please check out the following link where JC reviews the vauxhall signum or insignia or whatever its called. if u cant be bothered to watch the whole thing just go to 4 mins 35 seconds.

boring car, hilarious review
