Fifth Gear or Top Gear?

SiR_dude · April 23rd, 2004, 05:09 PM

Given all the comments lately about the difference between the two, I'm just wondering what the member's preferences are. For me, Top Gear all the way.

Edit: Viper, you need to include smileys in the poll options!! images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

Top Gear.
Its easy to tell that Top Gear has a bigger budget, thus better scriptwriters.

Plus Tiff is often too NICE when reviewing bad cars lol.

justin syder · April 23rd, 2004, 08:11 PM

plus clarkson is soo much better at presenting which is more important than being a better driver as proven in martin brundles supercars, martin brundle, ex-lemans and F1 driver can drive but sucks at presenting the cars.

an being brutally honest when reviewing a car is better than being nice about a car.

5th Gear,

Sure Clarkson can be funny but he's also dumb and I never felt the passion of cars in him.

But when you see Tiff drive a car he likes, you can't do anything but like it too!

Sure it's shorter but most of Top Gear show is blah blah and crap like that. I don't give a shit about that, I want to see cars!

The only thing I prefer on Top Gear is the recorded lap times (Stig) since it provides a good comparision.

But I like the new 5th Gear tests on car crashes and all.

I just added that option in for a little fun. I'm not saying she's hot......but you have to agree, there are uglier ones out there images/smilies/tongue.gif

justin syder · April 23rd, 2004, 09:31 PM

yeah i dont think shes as hot as some people make her to be and her jaw does wierd things when she talks. it goes sideways and up and down and makes her sound like she has a dick in her mouth or something.

she is average.

Sorry Tiff, but I like Top Gear's antics.

JMM · April 24th, 2004, 08:26 AM

I think that 5th gear is way better than Topgear.
Topgear is almost like a talkshow, although Stigs track tests are good to watch.

geekdiggy · April 25th, 2004, 01:20 AM

if you like entertainment, you'll vote top gear

if you like driving skill, you'll vote 5th gear

if you're a lonely acne-faced prepubescent boy who rarely sees sunlight or real females, you'll vote the vicki option

if you're me, you'll wonder why the hell 5th gear is even being deemed worthy to be mentioned in the same thread as top gear

M5Rangerover · April 25th, 2004, 02:47 AM

to me top gear beats 5th gear handsdown. the 5th gear characters can't match the charisma that those on top gear have. also, 5th gear trys to hard to be a safety addvocate, and it detracts from the cars!! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

SiR_dude · April 26th, 2004, 03:16 PM

Looks like Top Gear (and my vote) are far in the lead. And I can't believe more people voted the Vicky option than the Fifth Gear option...I guess that says a lot about Fifth Gear watchers, hey Renesis images/smilies/twisted.gif
