Easy, he's a mediocre guitarist who is famous for 1 riff.

I enjoyed that episode but was a bit disappointed with the M5 review. For a car with so much hype I think it could have been a bit longer and more of a road test like what they did for the E60. Saying that it was good and none of those dumbass challenges.
When I die I want to go peacefully like my grandfather did, in his sleep- -not screaming like the passengers in his car!!

I reckon his hat/hair is like one of those C U Jimmy hats you get - take it off and he'll be bald



p.s. agree with the consensus - last nights show wasn't too bad

I 100 % agree with you Andrew best of the programs so far ........ NO STOOOOPID CHALENGES !!! Thumbs Up  (Most stupid was the "Disabled Scooter " thing ....... pointless & as said before 15mins of my life i will never get back ) 
Had me gripped for the whole hour this time ( not want to go make a coffee half way through )
M5 thing was AWSOME Geek........ what a bus ...... pity not all the programs have been this good

So who thinks that Slash wears a wig then?  All that hair was never under the crash helmet.  It must be stuck to the stoopid hat he weas.

Agreed, really enjoyed it. They should have edited what the junkie thief in a reasonably proced car said but other than that, it was cool.

I forgot about the Saab news of them going bust.
 
I have to say the Saab drivers I've experienced drive very badly, a guy near me, tailgates you and where I park a guy swings into the next car park space with only millimeters to spare from my car.  Needless to say this guy has a large dent in his front wing.
 
Others drive very agressivley, and I wonder is it becase they have realised they are just driving around in a more expensive Vectra.

That boy Steve Berry's mouth moving in different directions put me off the last video. Thought I would never say this but Clarkson suits Top Gear.

I like this very informative Top Gear piece for two very obvious reasons.....
 
 
 
and Clarkson even gives a reasonable technical explanation LOL
