Posting this from the Quebec airport, so this post will have to be brief.

Fifth Gear was canceled today — it will not be back according to The Daily Mail. While the show obviously wasn’t as entertaining to watch as Top Gear, it’s still a shame in my opinion.

However, Jonny Smith has been tweeting:

To answer all the tweets about Fifth Gear ending – I don’t know who the Daily Mail talked to, but nothing is official. TV is a fickle world.

FG is always compared to the big-budget epic movie monster that is TG. It can’t and won’t ever be TG. FG was always more, well, grass roots.

To be completely honest, it could be time for a fresh car TV show recipe. Right now I’m enjoying Industrial Junkie & motor journalism tho!

:cry: I hope this isn't the case. I like Fifth Gear a lot.

Its a shame too. The bit I remember most will always be where Vicki said that she gets banged around enough on the show. :lmao:

My favorite tread on Finalgear was Vicky's tits.

Im really gonna miss the show. The Tiff and Jason showdowns were epic.

It was a shame when speed channel removed them, i enjoyed watching it, even though i enjoy TG better.

5th gear always showed better cars to me.. and cars i was more interested in. But TG was my fav between the 2.
