what about top gear. that show is by far a better show in all aspects. just watching the elise episode from this year shows you that. music, personality, cinematography, and so on... its just a better show. fifth gear is better than nothing though.

Top gear is licensed through the BBC, and since they have their own american station, its highly unlikely we would get that show through speed.

Hey anything is better thatn Motorweek. It will be a nice change for an american car show to actually test the car. I really wnat to see a review of an american car that actually tells the truth about how much of a POS it is, like the original Noble review.

Just have to make sure people actually watch 5th Gear, we don't want it to follow Motorvision (another great show IMO)'s footstep....

All time EST:
Monday, July 12, 2004
9:00 pm Fifth Gear Bargain Classics
9:30 pm Fifth Gear
1:00 am Fifth Gear Bargain Classics
1:30 am Fifth Gear

Thursday, July 15, 2004
7:30 am Fifth Gear Bargain Classics

So, basically they'll be showing *2* 30min episodes each week! :shock: Guess I should get my cap card warmed up and make use of the dvdr

all they have to do is run it on BBC World and we could get it. big deal.
