Tiff Needel was a former F1 driver and that Jason whatever guy had a racing background as well. I'd take to heart what Tiff says over Clarkson but at the end of the day, Top Gear is still a lot more entertaining to watch.

I saw Tiff Needel driving the BMW Williams F1 Car.....
No problem to start and drive....not like Hammond stalled the Benetton Renault F1 so many times....
I'd say people in Fifth Gear can drive better than Top Gear???

Im sure Tiff Needel and that Jason guy can drive better then Clarkson, James, and Hammond. But that stupid bitch Vicky girl on fifth gear sucks dick. She should just stop testing cars because she complains about the car yet its DRIVER ERROR!!!!

well im not so worried about road noise on the Azenis. I've sat in plenty of cars with Azenis and thought they were fine. And the reviews never complained about them. Whats scarring me away from the KDW2 is that EVERY review for those tires complain about road noise. I dont recall seeing a single review where they didnt mention the road noise issue.

the guys of top gear agree that theyre just amateur drivers, but its their personalities that make the show great.

and the stig is there for when they need to decide which is best

top gear ftw

LOLrance · 03-06-2008, 12:19 PM

ahahah yea, i dunno what im gonna do at this point. The Kumho / Hankooks both seemed like a great compromise of Dry traction that can be used in the rain but is also track'able. But if the Azenis isint as bad as most people say then i might be able to get away with running them everyday. Summers coming anyways so there should be less rain.
