Ambitious but rubbish!
[10x04] 2006.10.16
On this week?s show, Tom drives the most important new car of the year ? the brand-new Mini. After four years, BMW have decided that it?s time to update the incredibly successful small car. But why mend something when it?s not broken? Have they ruined a formula that attracted celebrity owners as diverse as Madonna and Wayne Rooney?
Elsewhere, Jason teaches England cricket sensation Kevin Pietersen how to race, in a brand-new Lamborghini Gallardo Spider. Costing ?131,000, it?s the most desirable supercar currently on sale ? how close to the top speed of 197mph will Kevin take it?
Meanwhile, Vicki drives the experimental Nissan Murano GTC ? supposedly the first-ever SUV that handles like a sports car. With a turbo-charged 3.5litre V6 engine, stiffened suspension and enormous racing brakes, can the Nissan really be as fast round a track as Vicki?s favourite ever sports car, her very own Honda S2000?
And Tim Lovejoy talks to GQ editor Dylan Jones about the sort of cars to which a modern man should be aspiring. Prepare for controversy ? according to Dylan, classic Jaguars have been given a bad name by Pete Doherty. Pity the guy Dylan spots with fluffy dice on display?
Finally, there?s a chance for viewers to vote for the all-time greatest James Bond car chase. The winning chase will be announced at an exclusive screening to be held at a secret location later in the
series.
Jason teaching someone how to race is getting a bit repetative now but I do look forward to seeing the Gallardo Spyder any chance I get
If this is Fifth Gear working at their best - Tom in the Mini should be good.
Putting a Murano against a S2000 on a track is just typical Fifth Gear pointless! Oh and it's got Vicki
