[WillyChang]

wow finally a worthwhile prize!

on Season 16 just started Fifth Gear offering raffle of a "Tamiya RC" (pic of R35 GTR) along with their weekly prize car

anyone else caught it?

Yup,they often have Tamiya cars as a part of the prize fund.They had loads of XB Minis last season.

I think it`s great that RC stuff is getting included in main stream TV,even if it is just as part of a prize

The tamiya is all very well but I'm hoping I win the Mk2 Focus RS

Anyone got a link for this?

I remember them giving out an E39 M5, Evo VI, S2000 and Cooper S.

These ARE worthwhile prizes!

IMHO, Top Gear is a better show. More entertaining even staged at times. But I do like Fifth Gear side by side vehicle comparison. The European TV car shows are more to my liking over the American's in your face, tatooed, supersized...style of presentation.

I blame Tom Ford - never enjoyed watching him

top gear is ok, except they seem to base a cars handling abilities on how well it can skid around corners.

it's a funny show though.

the challenges are great!

5th gear is pretty poor.

if motoring shows were lager, top gear would be stella and 5th gear would be skol.

you'd drink the skol, but you would be thinking about the stella . . . .

I have thought that after watching repeats on Dave - the Alfa 8C was a classic example - "rubbish handling car" apparently as he was not able to hold a controlled slide
