Fifth gear last night

[littlebrooklyn]

Wow I just love that house so much, the windows are just beautiful, everything about it is gorgeous. Do you need a second wife

 

[OmniCognateNeutronRangler]

I'm sure a mistress will do. You can use the house when the wife's out. I'd offer you the same deal Lyn but you said size matters.....

 

[SLinKyjoe]

He was a bit peed off with the traction control until a Nice guy from the garage disabled it completelycry:

you can do this with your SLK. just place the ignition key in the slot and turn to positon 1 or 2, i forget which now (d'oh) and press the Reset button on the side of the dash 3 times before the SRS light flashes (After about 3 seconds). you will then enter another menu and using the steering wheel buttons you can navigate thru this and adjust your service schedule if you want!

One option that comes up has an item which says WT/15 or off. I think its written under Dyno. Its for if you test the car on a rolling road as the front wheels dont move so the ESP would go crackers.

But be warned, not only does it switch off the ESP fully, it also knocks out the ABS and BAS. and the ECU data logs the fact you have done this.

Televisions SL does the same, altho it maybe a different combination of buttons.

You can tell your battery charge in this menu too. It will show you your VIN that is registered to your ECU as well.

Mind you, Tiff is a buffoon so best not watch 5th gear again, eh?

Only watching it in passing as I heard the ML 63AMG was on But Its a poor mans top gear nearly as bad as that Vroom Vroom show on sky!! :???:

Come on BBC the Hamsters ok-ish get Top Gear back on our screens

 

[OmniCognateNeutronRangler]

Clarkson said on Friday they are back in the studio in Jan. The Hamster is already driving himself to the office and is apparently pretty much back to full health.

Mr C said he didn't know if they would ever show the accident and that if they did it would probably be up the Mr Hammond himself to decide.

 

[Shambolic]

The should show the accident with a wee announcer before the program saying " Now please dont try this at home"

 

[OmniCognateNeutronRangler]

send your comments to:

fifthgear@five.tv

I have just sent them my comments (not too rude) and also suggested they view this thread and others on this site to gauge public opinon of the direction the show is heading in.

If I get a reply I'l let you know.

 

[Shambolic]

Will do!!
I cant believe the dumbing down of a programme that was almost on a par with Top Gear when it started!!!
Idon't mind Lovejoy on Soccer Am on saturday morning as its easy watching with a hang-over while hoovering or ironing
And he likes and knows about fitba but on here he openly admitted he doesn't know much about cars....!!!!!!!
The worst is the so-called banter between him and VBH in a BIKERS!! cafe talking about cars its the worst double act since Mick Fleetwood and Samantha Fox(or is she adouble act on her own) at the Brits a few years back!!

who needs a women when i am complete as it is?

[JohnnyW]

I dropped off clothes this morning to a lady in our village who irons them for my wife. I believe in equality in a marriage!! (or should that be "anything for a quiet life?)

Seriously though, my wife has a full time job as a teacher (like myself) and we have 2 young kids, so free time is at a premium. Can't wait until our daughter can do stuff round the house (ironing, hoovering etc). Long wait though............she's only 3!

Don't wait too long. Simple rules in our house, everyone pulls their weight. From 8 they can easily wash the dishes (in the sink, dishwasher impedes learning ) and all of the kids have done their own ironing since they were 12. Good habits. They get plenty of time for their pals and computer games, but still need to spend some time looking after themselves and the house. When friends come to visit they can't believe it...need to see it with their own eyes, but it works. Need to pay them if I want my ironing done

Maybe your daughter can manage the hoover when she's 4???

Cheers!
