Top Gear - Driven - Pulling Power - 5th Gear

[jamesc]

OK which is the best and the worst?

Best at the moment has to be "Driven"

Worst has to be "Bumper to Bumper" on the Discovery Channel featuring Tim Harvey (ex BTCC, better than the current guy on GT on 4, not as good as Jason Plato)

Driven????
It's awful. That retarded cross-bred jamie oliver clone presenter really annoys me. The others just agree with him anyway. Whats the point???
They seem to have a passion for the most pig-ugly cars (Fiat Multipla for instance!).
When they do the 'Drivel 100' it's plainly obvious which car will win before they even start.
Why do they measure load capacity on sports cars and handling and performance on MPV's anyway.
The most exciting thing about Drivel is when the credits come up at the end!!!
5th gear is far better, Tif and Quentin know exactly what they are talking about. Tif can actually drive a fast car fast. Quentin knows his stuff better than any other presenter.Its only missing a bit more sarcasm from Clarkson to finish it off nicely!

Driven??? was not in the same paragraph as:
Quentin knows his stuff.....
If you read it again you will see that I was talking about 5th gear at that point.

I thought Drive's coverage of Le Mans last year was superb! It was far better than that parade that ITV show with adverts every 2 minutes! Isn't it funny when the football is on the ads are scace! Can anyone tell me why?

Something occasionally happens in a football match (not that I watch footie either) but lets face it, you're extremely unlikely to miss any action during an F1 parade.

Driven - hahahahahahahah...its a consumner magazine for What Car readers. Plato is wasted on that show (although I quite like Brewer). Panny Mallory is a PIA - "Oh, this Tuscan is difficult to park" - eh ??

5th Gear is the best at the moment, by a long way. I'm looking forward to Clarksons return on Top Gear.

5th Gear by a country mile!

Need I say more!

Brewer's the most annoying thing about it -- why can't he say Porsche properly? 'Pawsh' indeed!

Manek you have my lasting respect, it really gets up my nose as well, it was what I most hated about the Thatcher era city wizz kids, even more than the red braces.
