Yeah I know but I can imagine which was the most fun to drive!

Apparently Tiff could'nt get the power down, the wheels where always lighting up.
Just goes to show that you can have to much power even though it only had 135BHP.

Bugger, is it repeated any where? No 5+1??

couldnt help feeling it was rigged...

they had quite a low power Cateringvan and he was permanently 'doing a clarkson' and scrubbing off speed....

think it could have gone quicker and certainly would have done if they had one with a decent engine.......

Anywho.....who the hell would want a renault!

Tiff is a kn0b and can't drive anything with less than 300bhp, thanks for reminding me it's repeated I can now remember not to watch it again

Last night was the first episode of Fifth Gear Ive watched since one episode in the 1st series which I found an absolute snorefest.

Really enjoyed last night though, I liked the gadget show approach and it was nice to see some lads reviewing some cars. If anything id have liked the reviews to be less abrupt.

Of course I still more entertained by some blokes being complete tossers and not doing very much at all on Top Gear .

Glad it ain't just me that thought that...
Deff rigged.

No way was a Renault going to beat a 7 by that much........

The Megane beat the Caterham by over four seconds. Why would it be any different in the dry?

Well, from the looks of it, the Megane was having no real issues putting it's power down. The Caterham looked as if it was all over the place. Whether that was the driver or the conditions, I don't know.
