Vicki Butler-Henderson and Jason Plato become the first people in the world to test-drive the new TVRs. Tom Ford travels to a Cornish slate quarry to test the Fiat Panda 4x4 head-to-head against the Land Rover. And Tiff Needell meets the millionaire sports car fans of the 'VMax' club.

This is a Fifth Gear Thread, The TopGear questions can be answered by looking in the "TopGear" forum.

5th gear is each week on monday nights.

Gah, that's right. This comes out later today. Better get to bed so that I don't sleep all day...

(It's 4:40 AM here - been up all night working on the site while watching downloaded TV.)

I am so anxiously waiting for Sagaris and Tuscan2 test and update on the 200mph Esprit project. Panda vs Range Rover doesn´t play suc a big priority, even thou by Tom Ford, it should also be very informative.

btw they are giving away ´96 4litre Chimaera.
