5th Gear Next Week - Clubman Test

Much as I hate 5th gear, they are doing a Clubman test next Monday. Probably watch it anyway!

Nah, it will be rubbish TV but even a crap review will be better than nothing! Unless of course Top Gear get there first....... Yeah right!

I'm sure if anyone can think of a pointless way to test the Clubman it'll be Fifth Gear!

I can't wait to see them put a Clubman through that stupid course.

I can feel a "Lets pile 21 students into the clubman and then see how it handles down this ski slope on flat tyres. Lets see if we can make them all puke!" type test coming on.

Bet they harp on about the door being on the wrong side after they race it round a few cones and compare it to standard Mini....plus they'll mention it at the beginning and drag it over the full hour to keep you hooked....after last Mini review I'll not bother, catch highlights on youtube and go down the local for a pint (much better use of time)

Oh how I miss Top Gear

I recorded this weeks 5th Gear for the Fiat 500 test.............it took 5 minutes to watch this after fast forwarding through the rest. Not worth bothering as the test as usual told you nothing and it was hard to see the Fiat through all the hip cool flashy camera work!
