For those that are interested it features an old school ASTRA!!!


n this episode:

Tiff pits the Vauxhall Astra GTE 16v against the Ford Escort RS Turbo, two classic 80’s hot hatchbacks
Tim compares various speed camera alerting devices
Jonny tests Honda’s new hybrid, the Insight
Vicki helps adventurer and motorbike enthusiast Charley Boorman improve his 4-wheeled lap times
Jonny attempts to make a profit by buying a scrap car and then selling it’s parts at an autoparts sale
Jason drives the brand new Ford Focus RS in Spain
Tiff heads to Abu Dhabi to get a ride in and watch Aero GP planes compete
I know its not TOPGEAR but it will do until they come back on air in the UK sometime in June.

Sounds good ^^^^

I actually prefer 5th gear to Top Gear !

I'm not into all that commotion and BS Top Gear get up to and seem to be doing more of with each passing season, just for the sake of gaining a wide audience and ratings :rolleyes: just stick to the business at hand with the cars without all the nonsense and I'm happy :)

thats a highly unfair comparison. 2l16v N/A FWD vs 2l16v Turbo 4wd.

i love both cars though regardless :)

*edit. just watched the clip. earlier gen RS.

oh well.

Huh? The Escort had a 1.6L turbo, no 16v and FWD only. The Astra had more power!

note my edit. which was done LONG before you quoted me. next gen RS, which came in as the GTE was phased out, was 2l 16v turbo 4wd.

And? Just like you didn't bother watching the clip prior to posting I didn't read your edit byline before posting mine - lol
