Fair enough and its not a big deal seeing as its only 4-weeks but my hate for FIFA grows now that it now affects Fifth Gear too images/smilies/vampire.gif

The remaining three episodes of the series will commence on July 3rd. I'm very happy its a thirteen episode run this series - alot more than ever before!

See you July 3.

Bit of a cheap dig at TG really. Can't see how using a gunmen is going to work. Can't they think of anything else to do with it other than test the suspension.

images/smilies/lol.gif good old bashing between FG and TG . Will see if it's better, because the horse race was perhaps not very exciting but Jeremy clearly demonstrated the effectiveness of the Hydraulic supsension with it.

They *might* be trying to replicate the scene from Day of the Jackal where the Citroen DS is shot at and loses a tire, but still manages to escape. As with every FG stunt, this has the potential to end up dull and uninteresting; let's hope otherwise.
