Top Gear Australia

Last saw Julian writing for 'Silicon Chip', he always reminded me of a school teacher.

I went and read some of my back issues of Zoom around the time he crashed the GT-R, 'RS Turbo better than GT-R' :laughing-smiley-014:

Danny 'Denzo' Vahoumis, Martin 'Tuner' Donnon, Andrew 'Ignition' Hawkins & some of the drifters would get my vote.

All know a variety of cars well, can drive & seem to keep me amused when they are in front of the camera.

Maybe even Ketzal 'High Octane' Sterling if he is still around.

These guys would be fun. Imagine testing a BMW 3 series while drifting round a track

Would want people who live and breathe cars rather than famous faces who sort of know cars... Otherwise would their views be consistent? Humour very important.

Suddenly Julian Edgar has lost his appeal... how can he have said that the R32 GT-R was a "bad handling car"? 70/30 split not 50/50 split! On the other hand that 21st century performance book is really impressive... very dry and technical, but still readable.

I don't like the idea of an aussie Top Gear. Clarkson is one if a kind and the show has taken literally decades of evolution to become such a world force. It's sophisticated as well as accessible. It's bloody funny too.

I doubt anyone can fill the space the way TG UK does it. And the benchmark is so high if the production isn't funny and sharp, as well as engaging, then we'll compare the two and realise OzTG is a sack of sh!t.

Someone give me hope

If I see that little midget Grant Denyer on one more show I'm going to shoot myself (or him).
