Default I just spoke to Tiff Needel...[UPDATE: full chat transcript]
...It's true!!!!

I'm sure anyone who watched this weeks episode will confirm that five did indeed host a web chat with tiff. I jumped to the fifth gear website and registered as fast as i could - anyway, i posted my question and here is the proof - Tiff replied as well - even though he did say that he doesnt like xk8's!


It seems wierd that i spoke to one of the biggest car reporters and best drivers on TV today.

cool. Ask him when we could expect him reviewing the new M5/M3. Maybe even the E55 too.

sweet man well done! I do find it ironic that your registered name for the Fifth Gear chat is TopGearTom...

He's the best because he's non-biased towards any brand. Obviously clarkson is, but clarksons a lot funnier. Tiff is awesome.

someone asked him a question about that - here is his reply:

was this ona previous Fifthgear episode? i havent heard anything about it.

I tried to send some of the other questions, but i think they though i had already had my shot with the question i asked originally.

I think there will be a chat transcript put up later on though, that might already answer some of your questions.
