For some reason I like Fifth Gears (Tiffs) review alot better than top gear. Does any one feel the same way?

Stream,
Yes, I DL it on my PC at the office, Mac Powerbook and an Imac at home. Same thing happens with all three machines. Fre*%#** MS windblows player is L-A-M-E POS on a good day!!? Thanks Uncle Billy : )
Also, thanks for the 303 dressing recommendation. Picked some up this week and it works great on tires. Looks better than the Griot garage dressing I was using for sure.

Some times he is a little annoying like: ok i hate it, now i like it, but mmm it's ugly, but i like it,mmmmm! U know changing his mind so fast...in a way it becomes hilarious and puts a smile on my face because i know i love my bmw and don't care too much about his opinion...anyway tiff is a little rigid but makes good reviews, not as funny as jeremy! Btw has everyone seen the video when he tested the voice input system in the mercedes S600? I think it's the funniest thing i ever seen! He actually argues with the car...

Did you watch the whole thing? Basically, he hates the styling and iDrive, but loves the real car:
"Amazing isn't it? That this is one of the ugliest and most annoying cars in the world but at the touch of a button it becomes one of the very best... it becomes an M5"
And he finished with:
"Its an epic car.. I mean just brilliant."
Sounds like thumbs-up to me!
? yeah and ugly is his ************
[quote name='530E60NL' date='Jul 28 2005, 07:27 AM']Is he just as stupid as a pigs ass or what??? C'mon the indicator stick. I learned that in 10 seconds.. Turning the Nav lady off was another story. It took some fiddling around but after 10 minutes I got that too..
Okay I am a bit biased off course but this showed me how stupid he is and every other car that he reviews will be taken with a bag of salt for me... blah!
