Yup. Two presenters drifted one van(dressed up like the A-Teams van) and a pickup cabover shaped truck/van thing.

you might want to edit the thread title to just 5th Gear only
since it doesnt have the top gear's review

5th Gear and Top Gear are completely 2 different shows

Fifth Gear has nothing to do with Top Gear. Fifth Gear is the one with that incredibly annoying reviewer (in the video here).

Fifth Gear was the replacement to Top Gear. Tiff Needle used to work for Top Gear and his opinions are far more useful than Clarksons. Both owned by BBC

I am happy the fastest BMW will soon be dwarfed by a Nissan. Shut those cocky 3-series guys up who keep saying "it is just an Asian car" or "it is nice, but it is not a BMW". Instead Japanese car enthusiasts would say "BMW what? oh that super car wannabe?"

Great vid, thanks.

TwiBlueG35, uhmm, there's a price difference between the GTR and M3. They are different cars and both very good cars.
