5th Gear - S11 EP1 - 30th April, 2007 - Discussion
Tom discovers what it’s like to be a paparazzi photographer hot on the trail of celebrities in an unassuming black Kia Cee’d – the perfect car for “spies, getaway drivers and paparazzi”. After a briefing from Big Pictures boss Darryn Lyons he’s off, and soon has Madonna firmly in his sights. But will he come up with a big money picture?
There’s also a big car crash investigation. Two identical cars meet in a head-on collision, one in perfect condition and one which has been badly repaired. The results are shocking and demonstrate the importance of carrying out a vehicle history check before you buy second-hand.
Also this week, Tiff Needell has the first TV test of the car everyone’s talking about: the Audi R8.
And regular racing mogul Jason Plato puts his foot to the floor when he takes the Brabus Rocket, the world’s fastest four-door saloon, to the German Autobahn to try and top 200mph.
And Vicki puts the Fiat Panda 100 HP through a stern test as she races it against a Ferrari around a track –with some surprising results.

Wow looks like they got lots of substance this time around. I am actually looking forward to it.
Yeah Lovejoy just didn't fit at all. Good thing he isn't around anymore.

If its true, tears of joy would be appropriate, that guy knew absolutely nothing about cars, what a loser...I think they realised their mistake
