Unfortunately, we don't get the "current" 5th Gear episodes until two years later via Speedchannel, and then they're likely to be pre-empted by some kind of Nascar bullshit. Speedchannel= ALL NASCAR ALL THE TIME!

speaking of 5th gear .. did you see it this week?
they did a "prestige" test this week (prestige in Britain that is)
i'm struggling to remember the exact cars and results...
i think the cars were the following.
Lexus IS
BMW E90
VW Passat
MB C class
Jag X Type
Audi A4
All I remember was that Passat came last. E90 came "3rd"
, MB 2nd 
, and the Jag came out on top!!!!! 
who the hell voted the X type the most prestige of these lot??????????????
who thinks that a car with fords switches is prestige?

Just watched the programme -- Tiff Needell was full of superlatives about the car
Here's a few comments from Tiff about the e60 M5
"One of the greatest cars in the world"
"On of the all time greatest engines"
"great car!" smiles ++, & drifting round a circuit.
507 BHP - Is that enough?
Want one? He does, he couldn't stop smiling throughout the report!
Order one today (in UK) & you'll have to wait for delivery until Mid 2007
Yes the waiting list is that long!
Good one Tiff!
