I would have thought you of all people would know the story.

Top Gear has been around for a very long time. Since 1977. I still have episodes from the 1980's kicking around. Tiff split away from Jeremy to start 5th gear on channel 5 in 2002.

Anyways Top Gear is funnier than 5th Gear while 5th Gear has better drivers. I just watch both but Top Gear usually keeps me entertained more.

agreed! and thanks for the background. I knew Tiff had been doing it for year, I just assumed it was the other way 'round :(

clarkson has his good points, but Tiff is hard to beat. His enthusiasm for everything is just infectious

I really don't get how you think she is hot, she is the most average looking girl that i wouldn't look twice at.

I watch both fifth gear and top gear, i find top gear more entertaining as they do some stupid funny shit lol, fifth gear is just good for the reviews.

Do you reckon Clarkson could dumb the content down some more? I mean, I understand what he is on about when he says the motor has more torques, but there is no way in hell I could ever get across the whole concept of a Newton metre. :D

Fingers crossed that Tiff drives the RS6...

Im much more of a fan of Top Gear than 5th Gear... So i'll more be watching this episode to see the review on the RS6... I'll still watch the GTR review though.

would have been awesome if Tiff had ago in it. When he was on Top Gear the show was so much better his reviews are the best, remember that mclaren f1 review he did? Actually described the sensation of driving one so well and how i would imagine it to be (having not driven one / never going to)

well, fifth gear was the replacement for Top gear, it originated on BBC, but after shit ratings top gear was canceled. so FIVE decided they would start it up again with most of the original presenters, they wanted to use the Top Gear name but BBC refused, so they went with fifth gear. BBC wanted to get in on the action so they started Top Gear up again with new hosts (except for Jeremy) and it came to what it is today. in reality, Jeremy carries the show, it would be nowhere near as popular as it would without him.

Fifth Gear still remains a proper car review show, Top Gear is becoming a entertainment show based around cars, sure its funny but its about as informative as a WOW player teaching sex ed.

Shit I dont know why people bag Fifth gear

its a good show, sure it aint no top gear but it certainly is the second best car show on TV

anyone ever watched Vroom Vroom on the How To Channel? Tuesday nights - now there is a shit car show

not to mention all the other Brit, American and Australian car shows that aren't 1/4 as good as top gear or even fifth gear

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
