If we are continuing with the original topic, then what did everyone think of the hydrogen powered honda? (apart from the fact that it looked like a punto  )

I bet the backwards shootout was cos they had a skoda to give away (and not the golf) and the golf was faster going forwards.
Just call me a cynic.....

well that was pretty much it the golf was a second quicker forwards, they said that before the backwards laps, for some reason they seem to think that we wanna create a new trend in driving fast backwards (or the fact that the skoda was £3500 cheaper!!) |

But what about the Corvette.
Superb value even if I can't afford one - and the performance.
Its about as close as I will get to a road going C6R.

Fifth Gear without a doubt. VBH gives women drivers a good name. Tiff, male crumpet for ladies of a certain age (moi), Jace for the younger ones. TG _ Clarkson is probably the most irritating, self important git on telly - cannot watch this programme 'cos he's on. So often gets his facts wrong to boot. And I want to see CARS not so called "stars" - even if they are good.

i think both sets of presenters have their pro's n con's - clarkson is arrogant, yes but hammond and may are pretty good, and the 3 of them work well together, whereas on fg they never actually talk to each other - theyre always doing seperate stories. that said, the stories on fg generally have a lot more point to them which tg lacksas for the fg's presenters, i think vbh is pretty good, altho i cant stand jp cos he's such a cheating b*****d on the race track and hes pretty annoying, as is tn - who sealed his fate (i know he was told to do it by the producers, but i dont care!) with the backwards shootout! i think the other guys name is tom broadmore? hes pretty good and lively.
i think tg is more entertaining and fg is generally more factual
