to quote clarkson in an interview with a guest in a reasonable priced car, i forgot who,

guest star says, "Then I get it into 5th Gear and it was amazing."
Clarkson, "I prefer Top gear myself", crowd laughs.

TOP GEAR IS TOP. nuff said.

HAHAHA!!!! Somehow, I find that sequence of smilies hilarious images/smilies/biggrin.gif It reminds me of the part in Dude, Where's my car? where they're going through the drive through and trying to order food, but the lady on the other end keeps saying "And then?" until the driver yells at her and tells her if she says "And then?" again, he's going to come in there and beat her (or something like that)

After a brief pause of silence, you hear her go "AndthenAndthenAndthenAndthen......" THat's hilarious images/smilies/lol.gif images/smilies/lol.gif

Top Gear should find a way to get Tiff back.

Actually, it was the other way around. They were all on Top Gear for many years and then the BBC cancelled the show.

Five TV brought back the show sorta under the name Fifth Gear and Top Gear was brought back as well, most likely due to Fifth Gear.

Really? I'd like to see some of those ep's (with Tiff, Vicki and Clarkson). Were they any good? Somehow, I can't see Tiff and Clarkson being great buddies....or were they?

Top Gear all the way, doesn't seem like the "actors" are acting quite as hard as TIff. Don't get me wrong, I think Tiff could smoke Clarkson any day of the week probably drunk or sober, but I just like the flow of TG better than Fifth Gear, that's just me though.... images/smilies/wink.gif

well they were good because Tiff was in it images/smilies/wink.gif

and about Tiff and Clarkson you're right.. I've never seen them both doing a test together (unlike Tiff with Vicky) but they were on the same show.

And Clarkson still talks about Tiff now.

Tiff doesn't talk about Clarkson though images/smilies/wink.gif

I have the same dry humor as Jeremy Clarkson, so frankly I think he's fine by himself. He cracks me up, and I don't get the sense that he takes himself too seriously -- something I'm sure some of you will disagree with.

But for me? It's Top Gear all the way.

When does the new season start, anyway?!?!?
