New Fifth Gear Series

30 min show but looks a lot better, they've tightened it up and got rid of the two pillocks (just wish they'd also dump Johnny) and at least based on the first episode, is focused even more on driving cars and less on shenanigans.

Not sure about the new ones, but I was watching one last night where they were doing a 24hr race. It was interesting to see one car that retired was an AU XR8.

It was but they decided a little while back to go for a re-tooling. Apart from the clown comparing a mini to a smart and some tiny Toyota (they should have canned him as well), was the best episode of Fifth Gear I've watched.

Good start to the series, although 22 minutes doesn't give them much time. Here's what in the 1st episode:

458 Italia
Hot Hatch Comparison: VW Scirocco R / Ford Focus RS / Renaultsport Megane 250 Cup
Crap Mini Story
McLaren MP4-12C (driven by Lewis Hamilton)
