Tiff Needell negotiates the perilous A537 in a Porsche Cayman, Tom Ford takes the ?Pepsi Challenge? with some of the most powerful diesels in the world and Jon Bentley reports on the latest type of car crime.

I don't know anything about the A537 is but I assume its a great strip of road that'll give Tiff a good challange in that new Cayman. I'm interested to find out what he thinks of the looks...I know I can't stand it!

The other stuff seems a bit bland, kinda like most of this season :(
 
Yeah, Tiff in the Cayman, that's more like it. Tom should be good value in the diesels. I'm holding off on saying anything about the Bentley piece - never know he might blow up a car...
 
Will it be the 7 series diesel vs. the A8???
 
just googled it and it came up with this:

And here's a map:

Looks like it's a very windy road through the Peak District National Park that motorcyclists like to fly round - no doubt my Dad will have been on it a ton. It's nicknamed the Cat and Fiddle because of a pub on it's route.
 
looks to be a decent ep. Tiff in any car on a curvy road is always a recipe for fun

Yeah, it was featured on the BBC's documentary on traffic cops as notoriously bad for killing yourself by flying into trees.

I'd rather he went to the Lake District and did the Hardknott Pass, as you get stunning scenery and ridiculously windy and steep roads, but I guess getting film trucks up there would have been a nightmare.

Tiff takes on the bikers, that'll be fun!
 
From the Fifth Gear website:
The A537 from Macclesfield to Buxton is known as the most dangerous road in Britain. The so-called "Cat and Fiddle Run" has 83 turns in a 6 mile stretch, and is a favourite haunt of motorcycle riders. Unfortunately, there have been more than 50 accidents here in the past four years, as riders and drivers get overwhelmed by the never-ending twists and turns. Tiff Needell sets out to see whether it's possible to drive along this road safely - and aims to enjoy it by taking the first Porsche Cayman in the country. This ?44,000 coupe fills the gap between Porsche's Boxster S and 911, and is supposed to be a car with amazing handling. But Britain's most dangerous road has the last laugh...

Sounds like it might be interesting :) .
 
They mention it even in the end of the previous episode, that Tiff takes on Britains most dangerous road ..

And this should be locked... ;-)
Lazy ass mods... :evil:
 
Shouldn't be locked, it hasn't been released by Vuk yet really. :(

You're right about the discussion thread tho. Making it now.
 
I see...
Aren't the TG pre ep threads locked when it airs in the UK??
 
Released. :lock:
