Regarding the show "Top Gear" ...
 

I heard a few weeks ago that they did an episode that featured the new M5.
Did anyone see it? Does anyone know which episode it was -- what day and
month? Or am I mistaken and they didn't feature it?

I thought it was Fifth Gear that featured the M5 recently. I
haven't seen the episode, but recall people mentioning that it was
Tiff Nedell(sp?) driving it that was the highlight of the show.

Top Gear seem to have given up on car reviews and are now concentrating on
stupid races.

Like everything on the BBC it has to be dumbed down so that it appears to a
wider audience. An informed educational consumer programme like "Top Gear"
used to be is simply not cool enough.

There would be no justification in spending the sort of budget Top Gear
gets now on the older style of programme because it simply didn't get the
viewers.

Interesting. I saw a pretty thourough look see at a GT3 a couple of weeks

AFAIK yes, Fifth Gear on Channel 4. Tiff Needell is the spelling, I think,
ex-BBC's Top Gear. Saw the prog, 2nd half, jut missing the M5 :-(

The show last week was Pullin Power and it was an entire show dedicated
to M5. Well worth watching and a great noise.
