+1 That guy is a clown and belongs in a circus act, along with the co-presenters.

Over the years they have ruined and degraded a decent car show into a slag anyone & everyone pile of p1sh that sometimes has a bit of metal & rubber on it. I would be suprised if he's not a racist nazi underneath the facade, he certainly comments like one.

So we have a warning on swirl flaps despite none of us or others ever confirming same fitted on an E53.

Mention of gearbox issues yet no reference to there having been 3 different types of auto boxes plus a manual.

The tyre advice cut to a sidewall pic of a 275 width 19" tyre........this being the wrong one for those wheels.

I appreciate there may have been time constraints on that item but that was far from good.

Surely there could have a little more useful info without risk of folk switching off or falling asleep.

Shame as I had started to prefer 5th gear over Top Gear.

My point stands then, he's a tw@t for not thinking before opening his gob! He should of thought of the repercussions of his actions...

Having said that I still put up with him because I like cars and apart from TG and FG I have little options, apart from Pimp-my-this and West-Coast-my-that (also good)! :D

Back to the show, poor research and little time made the X not look too great... :thumbsdown:

Yup & for only £1500 bucks, think I would rather spend £10 on a snow shovel (probably more reliable & no leaky sunroof to worry about) :lol:

Not sure who watched yesterdays episode - again not a great one...

But next week they're testing the new M5.
