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. :-/

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.

You were driving too close.

So it is funny to have your property destroyed?

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.
