Monday at 8pm, get the cushions plumped and ready and be either fast asleep, annoyed to Hell or on your way to do something else within 5 minutes of the new series of 5th Gear.

There is some good news however. I am reliably informed that Jim Lovetoy has been given the boot

Of interest to those in the Midlands, on Monday's episode the wide-mouth frog will be racing a Fiat Panda (100hp) against a Ferrari 360 Modena F1 at Priory Park near Tamworth!!!

That seems like a fair challenge...

Over 1/2km with only 7m of width to play with, I bet something small and nimble will trounce the wide, low, overpowered and heavy Fezza. A mate of mines 355 didn't stand a chance against Scoobs on B-roads, and my little Fabia vRS was challenging Scoobs on a 1 mile twisty track last weekend. It's a case of having the right tool for the job, and the Fezza is at home on flowing, smooth A-roads whereas the Panda id designed for nipping around tiny city streets and carparks.

I'll have a pound on the Panda
