Did anyone watch Fifth Gear last night? Tiff in Audi, Jason in Boxster and The Stig (Ben) in 370Z. I think I will pick Audi among the three. It looked great in white.

I think Ben Collins has so much potential for the show, but he was like a spare part in this episode. :?
 
I'm surprised they didn't do either the coupé or the roadster versions of them all though - and surprised there was nothing from the BMW stable in there, as the Z4MR was faster than the Boxster S.
 
Anyone spot the "custard" reference? :rofl:

He did say that he would refer it during the last programme, but I think I missed it.

A typical Fifth Gear test then....? :D
 
i didnt understand the selection of cars, 2 roadsters (if you can actually call the nissan a roadster) and a 4wd coupe TT. doesnt make sense. typical 5th gear - a test for the sake of it. Plus i think Ben Collins comes across as a bit 'cocky'...........i always sky+ it and watch it in about 12 mins once i have fast forwarded the crap bits.

A11y - you beat me to it - misses wondered why I burst into laughter during that bit - Good effort JP!
 
I was in Harrods last week and in the lift was Tiff, with his Mrs - then when I got out of the store he was waiting for his wife in his car, which he said he had on loan - a BMW 5 Series GT - he said he has a thing for BMW's - pulled mine round to the front of his and said the Z looked great in white, gave me his autograpgh, and I drove off!
 
Good to see that less weight matters when it comes to handling and performance; it would be interesting to see the Z4MR lines up against the latest Boxster S I think they will be very similar pace now its gained an extra 15 hp. Not sure the new Z4 would have faired with its pie eating diet. :lol:

The top gear comparision a few years ago showed the Z4MR to be a bit tricky to chuck around their track tending to understeer unless chucked into a corner with a bootful of conviction to get the back end into play.
