Yup.  I've only caught one episode of Top Gear but I must say that it was far more entertaining and enlightening than any of the North American automotive programs.  My wife watched part of the episode with me, and she was rather impressed with the camera work on Top Gear.

Fifth Gear came back this year for the 27th season for several episodes from early Sep to late Oct. Who knew its original crew would out-last the one of Top Gear's?  :popcorn:

lol watched that episode

Vikki's advice about the reliability of all 3 was laughable. No mention of the astronomical maintenance on the 4.2TT V8 in the Audi, or the fact that the V10 in the M5 WILL explode and die, guaranteed.

If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

LOL I am a tad crazy with my unreliable cars, but not a complete madman. I would buy those vehicles knowing full well what nightmares they entailed...but the fault is with Fifth Gear for not telling anyone about them in the first place.

But if they did that, then you'd be butthurt about them throwing Alpha, Fiat, etc under the bus for their reliability issues and then say "They're lying!!  It's not as bad as they say! Fifth Gear can't be trusted!"

There's no pleasing you.   :rofl: :rofl2:
