I have to say this feels like watching the first few seasons of fifth gear. Makes sense, given it was the spiritual successor to the old format

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

Well it was just a top gear ripoff, with some of the same presenters🤷‍♂️

[@appapag7036]

@@Jabber-ig3iw well yeah, early fifth gear is nearly identical to pre-2002 top gear, especially the final few seasons after Clarkson left

Does anyone know the date of the Top Gear ep where Tiff talks about the Reliant Scimitar and they talk to Tom Karen sat in a Scimitar beside a lake (I think at Cannock Chase)?. All I know is that it's from 2000, possibly from November, but the listings on the BBC Genome site make no mention of it. I remember years ago someone uploaded the Scimitar segment of the episode but it was taken down, no idea why considering there was barely any music used. I have this on tape and would upload, but it's likely it will get taken down.
