Fifth Gear On Tonight

Vita · 1 Oct 2007 at 19:46

Tiff Needell takes a Gumbert Apollo out on to the track to see if the supercar with a top speed of 224mph is worth its £225,000 price tag. Tom Ford tests the new Fiat 500, due to be launched in the UK in early 2008, and Vicki Butler-Henderson tests the differences between a manual Audi TT and one with a semi-automatic gearbox

8pm, Channel 5.

Looks to be a good watch :\

The ONLY thing I will be watching for is the Gumpert Apollo.

Well theres the first test, the steptronic is a little quicker. Its not new technology though, Im sure it was on the old TT.

Fuel additive test cut short by HGF

Bennah · 1 Oct 2007 at 20:16

Classic, those additives are useless.

Think most sensible people would realise £5 isn't going to make any difference to your cars power

I'd rather watch adverts that Blundell ramble on about obvious stuff.

Bennah · 1 Oct 2007 at 20:20

Yea thats true.

That Fiat 500, Mini Cooper from behind. The designer just got lazy.

The originals looked the same too.

spaz · 1 Oct 2007 at 20:59

Watching now a bit delayed (FF through the boring bits + adverts) and really quite like the Fiat 500, would love to test drive the abarth version once it's out!

DannyW · 1 Oct 2007 at 21:27

Miini Clubman on next week, I certainly wont be watching that, what a awful, pointless car.

Bennah · 1 Oct 2007 at 21:29

That Gumpert belongs on a track not on the road. Its quick, but there is a lot of Turbo lag.

Mini Clubman, does'nt look good at all from the pictures Ive seen of it. Would be intresting to see how it performs, if it does anyway.
