+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.

Ah the spelling & grammer police working late on a Friday

He was asked to give a controversial quote, he gave 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)!

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

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

Jonny lives 5 mins up the road from me so when I see him I will slap him with a wet fish....

just watched it now, what a load of sh*t, swirl flaps?? what, i think id be checking more than tyre tread on a 10yr old x5? and realy does this not mean everyone else will be expecting to get a 3.0d pre facelift for £5k cos ive not seen any that cheap!! as for the disco they are all rotten and i would rather get the bus!!

Five gear is a shite program

I record it and fast forward most of it!

Just watched the recording and yes load of sh*te

Don't understand the point of that Aston in the line up at all!

Just watched it, fast forward through the crap which lets face it is most of the programme (Top Gears poor relative) and what was I faced with, swirl flaps! ooh errr Mrs!

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

But next week they're testing the new M5.

Nope, we were enjoying a boys night out
