Ben Collins on the new series of 5th Gear!

I think he did a good job! Quite a few jibes at Top Gear!

Really? They got a nice team of top drivers there, and some nice reviews. The problem is, there are parts where they try to mimic Top Gear silliness, and those parts are utterly cringe-worthy.

Overall as a car show it's not bad but at moments when it is bad, it's really bad.

They have some interesting and amusing parts too, like when they smashed a Modus into a Volvo 940 to look at the results , very informative and fun at the same time.
Plato and Tiff racing double decker busses, not so much...

As for his TV presentation skills. He has a good face for radio.

what time and day is the new series on?

[FourWheelDrift]

Fridays 7:30pm, easily miss-able at that time and day.

Nearly all of the features seem to be shadowing what Topgear have already covered...

Apart from the caravan jump record which Topgrear had a go at afterwards and just turned it into a joke anyway.

Tiff in the Zonda R was good! Vicky now states they have the best presenters!

Pretty sure she said the best drivers...which is obviously true.

Some say he may have broken the speak 'n' spell, all we know is, he's called the Sitg

He's a very good driver and I'm sure he would be good to share a pint with, however he is limited as a television presenter. Once the 'I was the Stig' line has run its course I'm afraid his media options may be few.

I have to agree! Compared to Tiff and Jason; he does not stand out! And where is Tom Ford?
