Didn't know 5th gear had even reviewed the TF!

On now, Tiff doesn't seem impressed so far...

I've had the dubious "pleasure" of working with Mr Tiff.

"up his own bum" springs to mind.

Tiff's been anti MGF / MGTF ever since he entered an MGF cup race as the 'hotshot top gear driver' and got resoundingly spanked, IIRC he came 6th....

Not massivley publicised that

In Tiffs book, if you cant drift it and get the back end out, then the car cant handle. And id say the TF's suspension is anything but soft as he describes it.

Don't take any stock in what 5th Gear says, it's basically a poor mans Top Gear.

Tiff tries too hard to be like Jeremy Clarkson.
