Yeah, I used to watch Wheeler Dealers however the main presenter (Mike Brewer), to be frank, was overly London-ish for my taste.

Then I hope you weren't listening to radio 2 yesterday afternoon, because of what happened on Jeremy vines show. Bloody London-centric radio hosts.

No, I was listening to Smooth FM for most of the day, just relaxing with a nice brew.

Who remembers Fifth Gear. What did you think of it?

I personally never really liked the show.

Fifth Gear? Please, don't bring that B class car show here. Jeremy is still hurt over them burning down the Top Gear props between season 9 and 10. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

"Well that's what I always said I wanted to be remembered for, for being honest. Nothing else is worth a damn"

B Class? ..you're giving it some high praise. We must shun the terrible things (Fifth Gear) and praise the brilliant things (Top Gear)

All I can say, is I couldn't find any gif to mock those of Fifth Gear.

5th gear had some good people on it, but the format was absolutely awful. Personally the other car show I watched other than top gear was wheeler dealers.

Yes, Wheeler Dealers was a hell of a lot better of a British car TV show than Fifth Gear. If you are seeing this right now, Fifth Gear execs, MAKE THE FUCKING SHOW MORE INTERESTING.

I think everyone has a Top Gear fanatic inside, it just needs to be released.

He won't leave, he can't leave. If he does try to leave I will engage in a hammer-to-hammer battle with him, don't make me @TheSLSAMG.

Or a hammer to spanner fight if I get involved. Or a torque wrench. Or a screw driver.

Nope, Jeremy joked about it. Fifth gear wouldn't have the funds to do it. Too busy paying for the ace cafe licensing fees. It was a gang of hooligans who didn't realise what it was. Otherwise I think they would have avoided it. A bit like anyone who attempts to rob a certain ex-footballer Duncan Ferguson's house.

And, Hammond can sit in the corner and natter about the Porsche 911.

The old ones were the best, he's just living off of past glories. Someone should put a towel over his head and see if he shuts up like budgies do when you put a towel over their cages.
