I wonder where I've seen a bus race on a British car programme before... they're at the not-quite cutting edge of cocking about.

Yes, but I found Fifth Gear's more interesting.

The only time I have liked seeing Jason on lately is when he is going up against Tiff in a car. The rest of the time (unless he's driving a Porsche or an Audi), he's constantly saying how awful the car is and basically not reviewing anything.

Edit: I forgot that one where he reviewed the Mercedes and sort of liked it...

hah, yeah I hear that, lately I'm viewing it as metrosexual/ultra-trend fashion influences. When coming back into the studio, looking at their seating positions and postures, it sometimes feels like we just interrupted a make-out session!

I'm quite welcoming to having more Tiff and Jason videos.

I think they are really what set Fifth Gear apart from Top Gear, having performance cars driven by real racing drivers rather than entertainers.

However I think they should have less cocking about, its too much like Top Gear. A great example how they work well together was Season 9 with the BMW E46 M3 CS vs Audi RS4

yea, or the corvette vs viper segment.

I'd rather watch something that any of us would want to see battle on the track. And, i'd rather see them race head to head instead of timing each other's laps. it's just more entertaining that way.
