Yep - vxr forums are back up - let the bantering begin

just been reading the STOC thread. Very poignant point with the ST being a 5 door too = more weight

PS VXR site still does not appear to be working. Must be because of all the new regs going through

This weeks episode was actually quite good.

VBH on the Mcrae convoy and blatting in the WRC car was great, as was Bruno Senna :cool:

Just finished watching this weeks episode and I thought it was excellent. Good work 5th Gear, keep it up!

good episode. I did enjoy the St vs VXR bit, saw a bloke at the garage the other day when i bought my A3 2.0T, hr'd just bought a nurb VXR and was really gloating about it, bet he feels gutted after watching that, also i really want nissan GTR, it's perfect.

Yep - was a good episode for once featuring really interesting cars that most PH's would be interested in. If they can keep that up then it's a nice alternative to the more entertainment focussed Top Gear..

What a great episode

A car program about cars, wow who would have thunk'd it. Tiff and Plato are great together, and it was good to see and hear Bruno. I look forward to seeing him in F1 in the future - I predict that here's a man which will be an equal to the mighty Hamilton popularity machine.

Just watched this on Sky+ and have to say, quite an enjoyable episode. Bruno Senna in those two cars was stunning to watch, but what I found really good was how well he presented the reviews as well. You would swear he's presented TV before.

Am I to understand that Fifth Gear pulled a more than decent episode out the bag? I'll need to investigate I think... Think it's repeated tonight, hopefully.

Bluelion · 9 Sep 2008 at 09:33

I thought it was repeated on one of the weekend mornings?

Emlyn_Dewar · 9 Sep 2008 at 09:35

I think it's on Fiver (How I hate that name...) the night after it's one Five. I always seem to miss it on Mondays.

Is it strange that i wouldnt mind giving V B-H a poke ?

John Prescott = idiot.

Not as long as it's in the eye with a sharp stick, bet that would make her squeal..

They were a bunch of fake tanned trollops.

Well... I watched it last night, yet again there were more bad than good points...
That fat guy with "the hair", he's all wrong. Get him out and the show would almost be "good".

trouble is

they did the same test last series with the standard VXR and the VXR was quicker

The reason the VXRonline forums went to 30 pages is because they've contradicted themselves.

starts in a few minutes

MotoGP star James Toseland tests the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, while Vicki Butler-Henderson pits the new Porsche Boxster RS60 Spyder against the last-generation 911 Carrera 2. Tom Ford gets behind the wheel of the new Volkswagen Scirocco, and Tiff Needell tries for a speed record in a specially modified Lotus powered by alternative fuels

Andr3w · 15 Sep 2008 at 20:05

I knew the vw scirocco was sexy, but phwoar i really love the look of it!

Noni Juice · 15 Sep 2008 at 20:08

Scirocco looks amazing
