Anyone else see it ? Lowered cars are dangerous apparently as it makes your bumper too low ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) I`m stuffed then, cos I`ve got a lowered Mini ;D They did a test where a 4x4 hits the side of a small car at 60mph and guess what ? The small car came off worst ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png)

Right, I see, it's the lowered car that's dangerous not the chuffing great 4x4! F*ckwits the lot of them ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png)

apparently driving is more dangerous than locking yourself in a padded cell and never coming out....
5th gear really annoys me - it's trying to be all safety conscious and environmentally friendly, and it just ends up dull. i know if a range rover ploughs into me i'm dead, hooray for top gear for being a bit more 'out there'

5th Gear does tend to show lots of crashes showing how dangerous everything is, then shows how fast the latest car will go ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) I only watch it for VBH and she looked a bit rough ! Top Gear is so much better

I'm not keen on 5th Gear, it seems that there whole aim in life is to make you scared of driving, everyone knows if you get hit by a fappin great 4x4 your times up anyway so whats the point in showing us, they could have had a far more exciting feature during the time they wasted stating the obvious.

She can be as rough as she likes, doesnt bother me one bit ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) I did notice in that article though that once again Volvo are the first to improve safety features on their vehicles by lowering the chassis rail bits. IMO though if any new NCAP car is to come into contact with most our non-NCAP cars we will be in trouble its not just the 4x4's, but at least the 4x4 should roll ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

and the 'expert' reckoned the driver would probably have bled to death, so at least that's one consolation

So who's gonna be the first to slam a 4X4 and ram a stock height suzuki jeep with it? Then we'll see what comes off better!

if there was a six inch spike in the center of every new cars steering wheel pionting at the driver then there would be alot less accidents anyway we'er all safe in our old cars as long as we only hit new ones as they are equiped with crumple zones brining us to a nice safe stop with minimal damage to our older vehicles ;D ;D ;D

5th Gear - too much of a budget, no class, nothing to say.
I'd rather watch Quentin and Kate reunited than that bunch...

Quite informative and often an inspired choice of cars fighting it out. I do agree on the whole though, TG has moved the car show on in one huge leap. It has a look and attitude and a mission and does superb and original car TV. I think that Tiff and VB are wasted on 5th Gear as they both have character in spades. Not so sure about the other presenters though. Come on 5, find the slidemeister and her something worthwhile to do. (btw I think Tiff could do an excellent item on drifting!)

I once saw him in a sort of reality TV show where he was learning to be an estate agent, that was quite interesting but now he just makes me think of Mr Burns out of the Simpsons. Also I’m afraid I now associate him with ‘world’s most irritating mother-in-law’-type dross on channel 5 and his extremely dull monthly ‘I had an E-type and a Daimler Dart when I was a student’ column in classic cars.
