Trust me mate, you didn't need to tell me that!

excel : everyone knows who watchtes TG or his dvds will know his ways of overexageration of comparisons and made in england = above all mentality .

according to FG forums , the latest dvds has alot of incorrect tech info about american cars ie- v6 being v8 etc . but who the heck cares , thats the style we love about JC/TG . heck even jay leno did an article about it TG > american car shows .

oh the agony of waiting for the download to be complete .

 

[si|verfish]

I'm surprised yours haven't completed yet when Dremel's had.

You might want to try this FTP, he has the DVDrip as well. http://forums.finalgear.com/showthread.php?t=11165

Nah, I don't think James really broke a wrist. That whole piece was a satire of Hammond incident and all the hulabaloo surrounding it afterwards. Bloody hilarious it was though.

How's this episode of 5th gear? Has Lovegay finally been killed?

In this week’s edition of Five’s motoring show, Jason Plato hits the road on another Fifth Gear carbuying challenge. The best selling car in the UK right now is the £8,990 Ford Fiesta Style. But is it possible to find something far more exciting within that budget – a supercar perhaps? Jason has just one day to find out and to stop him returning with a wreck, there is a further catch: he must sell the car for a profit in a future programme.

Tom Ford drives the new Volvo C30 hatchback. Renowned for their practicality, build quality and safety, the Swedish car maker is not generally recognised for its appreciation of style. But all that could change with the C30. Tom delivers his verdict on whether Volvo has finally built a groovy car.

Elsewhere in the programme, Tiff Needell goes all green. The Lotus Exige 265E is a bio-ethanol car, which means it runs on fuel largely made from crops like corn and wheat. Vehicles like this could save the planet from global warming, but Tiff has another question on his mind – can a sports car still be fun when it gets its power from Mother Nature?

Also this week, Vicki Butler-Henderson revisits a classic movie scene. The film Goldfinger features one of the most famous Bond stunts ever – the ejector seat sequence where the intrepid spy hoofs a baddie through the roof of his Aston Martin DB5. With the aid of a 1988 Mercedes and a very unfortunate dummy, Vicki attempts to recreate the stunt over forty years after the original.

Remaining on the Bond theme, ‘Casino Royale’ is this year’s must-see box office event, featuring the all new Bond, Daniel Craig. A few months ago, Fifth Gear was granted exclusive access to the set in Prague as cast and crew filmed the actual casino scenes. Today’s programme provides a sneak preview of Bond’s new supercar in action – the Aston Martin DBS.

dosent seem to promise a good episode.oh well since nothings on the download list might as well download it.

as for james may he sustained a suspected fractured wrist according to : http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/main.jhtml?xml=/motoring/2006/11/11/mrmay11.xml

Exactly, I was talking about this article. It is quite obviously a satire written by James himself. Basically he is poking fun of the whole frenzy in the aftermath of Hammond's accident. The whole piece is a ellaborate joke, check this paragraph almost at the end;

This morning, and following an exploratory X-ray, doctors at a leading London hospital downgraded May's injury from "a suspected fracture" to "nothing more than a sprain", although after they were given some free tickets to MPH they agreed to record it as "a very serious sprain, not the sort of thing most people have".

I love James, he is brilliantly funny. If you care, look up the reason behind his sacking at Autocar. Another proof of May's awesome sense of humour.

Trust me mate, you didn't need to tell me that!

I think my post came off alittle too strong there..didnt mean to "teach" you leh..

FifthGear testing the Volvo C30?..*goes and download*:_:

 

[si|verfish]

I think my post came off alittle too strong there..didnt mean to "teach" you leh..

Nah, I didn't think you were trying to "teach" me. More trying to explain why Clarkson does what he does. And to blokes like infernal and me, its akin to preaching to the choir. We love Clarkson's work so we are well aware of his style. Unlike some people out there who want to watch and then complain about JC being JC, which is a bit ridiculous.

 

[infernaL]

silverfish : my bad didnt notice that paragraph.as for the show , the only parts worth watching is tiff reviewing the corn-fed lotus , tom doing a proper review on the volvo focus and shots of the sexay DBS from the casino royale movie.

the rest of the making and jasons go buy a car and make quick profit is worth skipping .

Those are usually boring as fuck. Anyy segments with Lovegay is crap, Vicki also crap and Plato (when he isn't driving) crap. Bentley can be interesting at times. Only Tiff and Tom are ever watchable.

next week 10x09

In this week’s edition of Five’s motoring show, Tiff Needell tests the new Alfa Romeo 159, Jonny Smith tests the new Citroën Picasso in a very artistic fashion, Tom Ford drives the brand-new Land Rover Freelander to a remote spot, and Tim Lovejoy quizzes Orson about classic cars.

On tonight’s show Tiff tests the new Alfa Romeo 159. He decides to find out whether it is the most beautiful car in the world by canvassing the opinions of a bevy of supermodels.

Jonny, meanwhile, is testing the new Citroën Picasso. In tribute to the car’s namesake, he uses it to draw a giant recreation of a famous Picasso picture on the beach at Weston-Super-Mare.

Also this week, Tom drives the brand-new Land Rover Freelander to the most remote school in Britain. Just 15 pupils attend Forest of Teesdale Primary School in County Durham, which is in the middle of nowhere. Tom’s challenge is to find out if the new Freelander’s array of off-road technology will get him through the rough terrain before the school bell sounds.

Finally, Tim Lovejoy chats to the band Orson about their love of classic cars and challenges them to Fifth Gear’s Highway Code Quiz.

2 weeks time - 10x10

In this week’s edition of Five’s motoring show, can Jonny Smith set a new World Land Speed Record for a car fuelled by vegetable oil? Vicki Butler-Henderson investigates whether Porsche have found the ideal compromise between track and road cars. Tiff Needell visits Mercedes-Benz World to test their ML 63 AMG 4x4. Tom Ford drives the Mazda MX5 Roadster Coupe. Jason Plato tries to make money on a deal. And Tim Lovejoy takes a celebrity banger-racing.

A few weeks ago, Jonny Smith proved you could drive coast to coast in a car powered purely by used chip fat. Buoyed by his success he has now come up with a new challenge for his pungent but faithful Mercedes. Can he set a new World Land Speed Record for a car fuelled by vegetable oil?

This year Vicki Butler-Henderson has been racing a Porsche GT3 in their Carrera Cup series. Now the roadgoing version is out. Have Porsche discovered the ideal compromise between track and road car, and if so does this make it a more attractive buying proposition than their Turbo model which costs a further £18,000?

Two weeks ago we saw Jason Plato given one day and a budget of £9,000 to find an exciting car with the potential for a bit of profit. He achieved that mission by coming up with a 1998 BMW M3 for £9,400. Now comes the crunch: will he be able to make any money on the deal?

Tom Ford drives the Mazda MX5 Roadster Coupe, which features a folding hard top. Cars with this type of roof offer more security and comfort when up, but seem to swallow up all the boot space when down. Have Mazda now solved the problem?

Also this week, Tiff Needell visits Mercedes-Benz World – the biggest, most complete car dealership in the country – to test their new and most powerful 4x4, the ML 63 AMG. The dealership has skid pans, off-road courses and handling circuits as well all the traditional glass and chrome.

And finally, Tim Lovejoy takes a celebrity banger racing. How will they fare?

so carwise , its the alfa 159 and porsche gt3 to look forward to ?
