Tiff tweeted:
"Just five minutes to tune into @DiscoveryUK for last @FifthGearTV of the series and maybe the last ever … not to be missed!!!

Is this finally the axe for fifth gear? Anybody has some background info?

Yes saw that tweet last week, shame seems the last of the real motoring programs out there. When Discovery picked it up they made a good job of it, but it's all gone a bit reality TV with car restoring lots of them around at the moment maybe too many.
And Topgear has lost it's edge now becoming main stream entertainment more than motoring program.

Oh damm I'm going miss Vicky screaming in cars
