Top Gear or 5th Gear?

Your fav...

I don't bother with either. There's too much silliness in both of those programmes for my taste.

I can appreciate they have entertainment value for many people, so good luck to them on that score, but I would like to see them doing a bit more constructive stuff aimed at enthusiastic (but good and safe) road driving; and hitting the government hard.

Best wishes all,
Dave.

5th gear did a bit once on Advanced driving, sort of. They had VBH sit in on a Police Advanced car course then the instructor raced her round a circuit, and lost of course.....

She had a ride in a Traffic car and did a bit of driving herself, but in terms of Advanced Driving courses it didn't seem to amount to much IIRC.

Best wishes all,
Dave.

I would appreciate comments from our police friends on: "At one point you were doing 130, you slowed to 100 for some red lights". If the accompanying shot related to this, there were vehicles aroung the lights.

What ever comes out of the editing suite isn't necessarily an accurate reflection of the reality.

Top Gear for entertainment. Although as others have said, there is little "affordable car" content these days. It is all an entertainment show.

5th Gear is annoying, it tries to be like Top Gear, but fails. Jason Plato annoys me for some reason, Tiff and VBH may be acomplished drivers, but are not engaging as presenters.

There used to be a show on Scottish TV that was down to earth but it probably didn't get the required ratings for it to continue.
