[/ QUOTE ] When it comes to leathers i've always prefered Suzi Perry Yeah new format 5G is like some 10 minute corporate video with forced jokes .... trouble is it goes on for an hour. Not seen the hamster2 presenter on anything else but cars obviously arn't his thing It's like when SP is not doing her bike grid walks and tries to present something else ... it just doesnt come across as 'natural' Stick to what your good at like a certain Mr Rossi !

NewNiceMrMe Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Suzi Perry does look fetching in leathers, I'll admit that! I'm a VBH man though, and she loves me so I can't two time her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v6tas Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 i was actually going to start watching fifth gear again due to the absense of TG but if that tosser Lovejoy is presenting it then i wont bother !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Well it's rubbish as ever with Lovejoy, and who cares what someone from GQ thinks whats cool or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_91 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Tim Lovejoy is a prat and really shouldn't be on fifth gear. I liked the new mini review though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_C Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I thought it wasn't quite so bad this week. Good to see Plato back, and I really enjoyed the Gallardo features. That Lovejoy fool really has to go. Next to him, even the execrable VBH seems vaguely watchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 On Lovejoy he is very good on Soccer AM. I met him last week (on said show) and asked him about 5th gear - he said thus far he has only been given total rubbish to drive! He works far better in a live environment. I think the whole format of 5th gear is wrong. Even the Gallardo feature was pony. A bit of fresh thinking and they might even find a format Tim would be good with because he is a good presenter in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clown Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 How correct you all are,what a load of C**p. They should have people such as Mike Brewer in the the programme who used to show `Deals on Wheels`.I cant believe that with all the new cars on the market these days,the ones normal people can afford .That they haven`t got anything interesting to make an hours good television on.Even buying a secondhand performance car like the E36 M3`S,OR C43 Amg`s,Golf Gti`s you know what I mean.Let people out there become interested in motoring from past to present. The Lovejoy chap even has his own Column,to get to know him,he is just totally wrong for the programme.Tiff is far better then this,when he and Quentin Willson used to present on Top Gear it was great. None of this smash a car up with a hammer c**p..... Its about time is was axed or changed in some structured way. Moan over.........................For now...........

Botang Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Why Why Why is it sooo bad? Watched the gadget show before hand and the production of the show is so much slicker with some decent presenters in Jason Bradbury, Suzi Perry and John Bentley. It puts Fifth Gear to shame with its interesting tests and challenges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveknott Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Last night's show was a new low. Please please please get rid of the "wreck my ride" feature! Its useless! a complete waste of airtime! Here's what else they should do 1. Get rid of the "ace cafe" - naff format 2. Go back to the studio format 3. Come up with some good features e.g., Best performance car for £20k/£30K/40K etc 4. Proper "Group Tests" e.g., Best Hot Hatch, Best Coupe etc 5. If you're going to keep Lovejoy, educate him, get him in a proper car! 6. Shorten the driver safety items, they're way too long 7. Review track day experiences that us punters can do 8. Long-term tests 9. A regular driver skills item e.g., Heel & Toeing, Scandanavian Flicks etc. 10. Run a Caterham academy car for a season etc etc - there's loads of things that could be done to spice up this flat, childish, waste of space of a motoring programme..........! Rant over.
