Watched an episode of Top Gear the other night and found it pretty entertaining... But I can't help to compare them to 5th Gear.

I think that 5th Gear (although not as funny) is a more technical and informative show. Which in a way, as an enthusiast I think makes it a much better show than Top Gear...

What you guys think?

Top Gear is definitely more entertaining to watch. Fifth Gear presenters as a whole don't have the 'chemistry' like Clarkson, Hammond and May. Tiff is a wicked driver but I can't hack his voice.

Top gear is more of an entertainment program that tells you how a car feels and what its like to drive, whereas 5th gear is more about technical information, how ever there is 2 videos that i always remember when i think if tiff, one is him testing an M3

and the mclaren F1
both of which i believe are from when he was on top gear.

First of all you profile pic is distracting... damn she's hot.

Second yeah Tiff goes hard... Can't really expect less from the real deal racer.

you have seen all of the NEW top gear, there was an OLD topgear where jeremy was nothing more than one of the presenters and it was more dull and factual like fifth gear

thing is - i already have my opinions of the cars that are tested on top gear/5th gear. thats not what i watch them for. i watch them because they're entertaining. top gear is the winner for me because they know that not everyone out there bases their opinions of the cars they drive on their show.. i mean, if i was tossing up between a ferrari and a DB9 i wouldnt watch a top/5th gear show to tell me which one to buy.

its HOW they test them that is entertaining. 5th gear is too concerned with telling you which is better with stats and numbers. top gear show you that you cant rate a car just on stats and figures. its the real world testing and their funny way of doing things that gets me as well as their brutally honest opinions.

Top Gear is the more entertaining show and, up till recently was the less-"forced" show but I'm finding season 15 of TG pretty ordinary, especially after such a long hiatus (of course they were doing a TG Live world tour; but the writers should be coming up with better stuff after so much time off).

Def rate Tiff Needell as a driver and as a presenter he has his own unique style, which is a bit weird at first esp. with accent and whatever but you get used to it. And his powerslides that go on for several kilometres make up for any downsides :)

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
