    The whole of fifth gear to be honest. Especially since they set fire to the top gear set. Bang out of order.

    Glad to hear injuries were not life threatening though.

    How anyone could not install a full on board fire system in any car that's being driven at speed is beyond me.

    Hmmm... This is not good news for a car with VERY high ambitions...

    5th Gear are always copying Top Gear. Is this just a stunt to have a "big incident" like The Hamsters? :D

    Definitely agree on that, certainly not a good advert for the brand.

    :D Er no, Plato is current leader in the Btcc, and the final round is this sunday. He says he'll still race even with the burns.

    From some angles James May looks like one, although not very fit!

    Can you remember when that annoying Kate Humble was on there. She admitted in the papers that she had no interest in cars and was only there for the money. That was Tg's lowest point and I didn't really watch it.

    And Hamster looked like he was trying to appeal to both sexes with his new look....Not so sure it was working for him. What on earth was that jacket all about :)

    +1 :) The first episode of the new season was just epic. The part where they headed out to find the best road. I'm gonna watch it again. And again :)

    Only beyond 168 degrees :) at which point it would have been of little consequence to Jason :)

    its a pretty good insulator so I guess I could claim we saved his life :) You think that would fly or are people not that gullible???



    LOL


    Cheers

    Go for it mate.

    I'll set up a user name of 'Jason Plato' on club scud and say how your product saved my life :) You dive in and offer me a half price film job on my Laguna and it'll look brilliant. Great bit of PR, no one will ever know :D

    I'm a student so I can't afford a Ferrari (well THAT'S obvious, I guess) and I have a NSX on the way - so I'm probably not welcome in this company.... But I really, really want to see these roads... Next summer I will be having the whole summer off from work, dedicated for driving :)
