Cobol74 · January 21st, 2008, 9:10 PM

Best bit was Jason and that AMG - he looked like he'd recovered from those burns thank heavens. I like Heston too - but hey I'm probably in a minority of one. ...

This programme is pathetic. I know people always say it copies Top Gear, but I really didn't realise just how much it tries to copy TG. I've just watched the opening of the programme and it's absolutely embarrassing. Have they no shame?

Pre-production to them means 'watching Top Gear, see how they do it and copy'. Shameless whores. They don't seem to have one single original idea. The people on it are foul, too; particularly that smug ***t Timothy Needle.

Utter rubbish.

Shawn · January 21st, 2008, 9:40 PM

Meh, sounds like you're being unfair. Tiff might be smug but who cares, you watch him for his driving abilities. You don't watch Clarkson for his driving, and that's why TG and FG are different types of shows.

I haven't seen it yet, I'll see if I agree once I do.

Have to agree with you mate. I was getting bored watching it I was going to turn it off and watch something else.

EDIT: Oh, and poll added.

RichW · January 21st, 2008, 10:04 PM

Well where do I start.

Im disappointed they haven't slimmed the presenter list down. Dont need 2 Racing drivers. Dont need VBH still! And its still being done at Ace's Cafe.

Lotus v Caterham
Didnt care about either car. Dont like VBH. For me. The End

Laguna v Cadillac
Dull, unintertesting comparison between 2 cars people DO NOT actually choose between. Laguna v Mondeo v Passat v Citroen v 3 Series v Vectra is the natural choice is much more likely. Wow Caddy isnt very good inside.

Citroen v 2CV
I like Johnny, but this was pretty weak

Bernie Cars
Toms face when bidding started at £10K. I have a feeling that Bernie donated the money to auction though. Glad Tom wasnt just praising the choices. He was critical. Would of liked to have been longer section though.

Plato CLK
Liked that. Again, thorough review

Chef in M5
Like Tiff generally but a) Dont like celebrities with no real car passion on car programmes and b) the knife thing (whilst dangerous and cool) reminded me of Clarkson in the C63 hitting that Apple.

Wasnt a great programme for me. 4.667/10

vRS · January 21st, 2008, 10:07 PM

Are they still spending time in that cafe or has TG burned it to ashes?

sam-l · January 21st, 2008, 10:07 PM

I gave it a 3, because I thought I'd be generous images/smilies/cool.gif

ahpadt · January 21st, 2008, 10:18 PM

Exige S Performance Pack - WHAT AN INSANE LAUNCH CONTROLL!!

Nice to see car interested guests. Heston rocks. images/smilies/smile.gif

What I hated was Vicki using TG quote; "Grab it by the scruff of the neck.."

haha, picture of him putting the cucumber in the cone hole please. gif it

rhaitz · January 21st, 2008, 11:59 PM

That was pretty bad, hope it gets better, the knife thing first, freaking a copy of the apple on TG, Lotus Vs Caterham what's the point ? we all know that the Caterham will be faster and is tricky to drive, get a brain vicky

The C-Crosser, bad, the laguna/cad, awful, the used car segment dont know, didnt really liked it but it can be usefull i guess

I've liked the Merc with Jason (that the only thing that really stand out for the all show)

The Celebrity bit, well i didnt like it, i dont really like celebrity bit anw except when they are really passionate by cars and he wasnt that much into it and on a more personnal note i dont like that kind of cuisine and a real freaking chef wouldnt use his knife like that
