What pathetic effort. I mean the site. Eh...seriously, why this picture? The guy on the left isn't even ready. The average Englishman is a little, what's the right word, peculiar. This show certainly took some getting used to, nonetheless a great car show. It's aired every Monday in the UK. Let's admit it, European have a totally different perspective when it comes to building their road/track machines and do they do a super fine job!

Get into gear...

Another good car show in England that started it all (believe in 1970's). They have some interesting ideas but Jeremy Clarkson gets on my nerves quite a bit. New season just started.

In 2001 due to falling ratings, the BBC chose to axe the show. Channel 5 then decided to revive the show with the then current presenters (Quentin Willson, Vicki Butler-Henderson and Tiff Needell). Because BBC owns the name rights, the show had to be renamed 5th Gear. The show was only revived because Jeremy Clarkson was considered to be the most popular presenter of them all and many people had considered his absence to be the cause of the demise of the show. source: IMDb.com
