Presenters cars?

Mirage coupe · April 4th, 2005, 06:41 PM

What cars do the guys own and what have they previously owned? 5th gear people too if anyone knows?

bmw power · April 4th, 2005, 06:54 PM

Jeremy has a MB CL 55 AMG, Richard a Dodge Charger and James has a old Porsche 911 i think. No clue what the fifth gear presenters own tho.

zeroSignal · April 4th, 2005, 07:05 PM

Actually, Jeremy own(ed) a Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG. I'm not sure if he still has it though. He should have his Ford GT delivered soon. They also have a 1.6 Ford Focus, a Volvo XC90 and his wife has a Swiss Army-issue Landrover Defender.

James has an old Porsche 911 (check through the forums, you'll get the exact model), and I'm not sure if he still has the Bentley. He's looking for a woman that's liberal towards bike parts in the shower.

Richard has the 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, with upgraded suspension & brakes. It's burn-your-eyes-out green. He also has a motorbike, though I'm not sure what exactly.

i wouldnt think he would get rid of the merc - the ford will hardly make it to the studio without fuelling images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Jason Plato has a Z4

Anyone know what Vicki drives now that she gave away her Honda S2000?

fnorre · April 4th, 2005, 11:55 PM

Tiff currently drives a BMW 545i, according to the Fifth Gear website.

I remember him saying on the episode where he tested the F430 that he would get one in blue images/smilies/wink.gif

Jeremy has had loads of cars...

I think he still drives the Mercedes, unless he has received the Ford GT. Before these he had a Ferrari F355, and he has also owned an Alfa Romeo GTV6, Golf GTI and a Scirocco, Ford Escort Cosworth, an old BMW CSL(dunno about the number) and a Z1. To name a "few".

Greatgraddage · April 5th, 2005, 02:02 PM

James May also has/had an old range rover, an old jag and an old mini. Lots of old stuff images/smilies/biggrin.gif

bihus · April 5th, 2005, 03:52 PM

You guys are forgetting about the Range Rover he driven in "Who do you think you are"...

riceboyler · April 5th, 2005, 07:05 PM

Does anybody else find it curious that the hosts of these shows own so FEW British cars that they seem to go on and on about? Mind you, I LOVE Top Gear, and appreciate the brutal honesty (it's like watching American/Pop Idol for vehicles), but there's a bit of Briticentrism. <-- I'm going to trademark that word.

I would have expected each of them to own at least 1 Jag a piece, along with a smattering of Astons/Minis/Rovers/Bentleys/Rolls etc. I guess it's one thing to REVIEW a car, and another thing entirely to own that car...

thats very nice choise , maybe he ordered new M5

Jeremy had SL 55 AMG and Ford GT,few years back he had 355, Richard is fan of porsche so i think he got 911,

Kebab gud · April 6th, 2005, 02:27 PM

if i remember correctly Jeremy used to have a DB7
Richard used to have a older 911 .. but i think he sold it to buy the charger

andyhui01 · April 6th, 2005, 02:38 PM

I don't think he sold his 911... I remember in one article that lists the cars he has, he had both on the list along with some other cars

Greatgraddage · April 6th, 2005, 04:15 PM

Jeremy used to have a Jag XJR I think.

7edmi · April 6th, 2005, 07:15 PM

I think Hammnond still has that Porsche from the Cool Wall

James still have the Bentley and a "new" Jag, and the Porsche, so it's 2 out of 3 images/smilies/smile.gif

Skett · April 8th, 2005, 10:00 AM

well I'm pretty sure that Hammond has the charger, a ford focus and a couple of old land rovers (if you saw the "should I worry about" series, particularly the water episode you did see the focus and one of the land rovers)

I suspect he might well keep the Merc anyway. The F40 isn't exactly practical. images/smilies/wink.gif
