Fifth Gear on Discovery Canada

I just noticed it on this morning on Discovery channel. Has it been on long?
The shows were from 2006, but it's a start. It's sponsored by Suzuki apparently, so good for them!

When I come to power there will be a rule.     Any program more than 1 year old must show the "date of manufacture "   on the screen of the TV.    I waive this for old movies and the History channel!

I noticed those  old number plates withing seconds.   Still watched it tho'. Seemed to have ads every 5 minutes... I wonder if they had cut some UK specific stuff out... prices, insurance groups, Co2 levels and stuff that is totally irrelevant to us.

I've seen it a few times, so it's been on at least a month. I like Tiff, and of course Vicki too. She sounds like she still hasn't quit smoking though.

Tiff & V.B.H are great...

The BBC sacked them both from Top Gear when they revamped the show and Channel 5 took them on and gave them presenting job's on Fifth Gear.  The BBC should of kept them IMO.

Tom Ford and the other guy are also v. good.  Fifth Gear is a relatively young show and is still fine tuning it's format.  There is an awful series with a new presenter called Lovejoy, he was axed.

I guess that would give the perception that Britain is 2 years backwards than North America. hahahaha
