Top Gear Australia

[R TUNE]

well guys what do you think of it if you watched it.

[__PhaseShiftDown]

It was alright. Love the bit where the R35 blitz'd the lap time against all the other cars.

Was this the 1st episode?

I hope they do a full length on the R35 GTR soon.

[bluey33]

GTR will be beaten on that track.

Show was good but not exciting enough

[Astro Bear]

I didn't like it. In fact, I disliked it so much I changed the channel. The skinny small guy has an annoying voice and to me its just a big immitation.

Edit: Unlike the british version, these guys TRY to be funny, and it just wasn't working. The part when they're sitting down talking about the stretch hummer with dubs. "i'll pop a cap in yo ass".

One word "Cringeworthy"

I still reserve judgement until i have seen at least 1/2 a season..... The first three seasons of Top gear were crap IMHO

It seemed to be a bit too much of a rip off, its also a shame that next week will be bogan v bogaaan (Holden Vs Ford)...

Still give it a chance i say......................

Didn't like it at all, they're trying too hard to be like the UK version, they need to adopt their own way of presenting the cars. The short young guy out of the 3 is extremely irritating.

[Juan]

not a big fan of the aus version.

too try hard for me. the track doesn't look that good either

[axe s]

Yeah it's like the Brit version, But really it is the same show but Australian... i thought it was alright, but like mentioned they need time to find their own way... at the moment the producers would have handed them a rough script and said read this...

[r33cruiser]

not watching it again. total shit.

and didnt anyone notice how it wasnt a stock gtr. it was the haltech tuned gtr......hmmm fair or unfair advantage much

Yup. I'm not going to watch it again for another 2 years, if it doesn't flop by then they might find their niche and make it work. Otherwise I've got better things to do! (like watch the real Top Gear)

[sh@un]

That blew

GT-R was the only highlight of the episode. The hosts are boring, and lame, and what was with opening the first show with a soft-roader comparo? Where's the sideways supercar action?

Oh look! a new Lamborghini... that we won't drive. That was crap Ray.

We already have a car show for old people... it's called The Car Show (creative name right there ) on CH9, and it sux just as bad.

Better come up with some good drives next week...

yer i no ay

preaty unfair lol

beautiful skyline tho

but it will never be as good as the UK version

[(B1) MR_fanny]

thats the first thing i thought of....all a bunch of puppets mimic-ing the original, even in the way they speak. Dicko look a like, choppa looka like but super punce, and that other skinny weasle, he looked so random. absolutely no aussie flair at all. thats what you get when you put out a nation wide call for real enthusiaists but opt for so called intelect. half a bogan would make the show a tad more entertaining.

[Duncan1]

I thought the main host lets call him [clarkson impersonator] was pretty ordinary. the other two call them [Hammond and May[ were not too bad. I really want to like this show so im going to give it a go over the next few weeks and see if the characters grow on me... fingers crossed!!!

and by the way is it just me or is that track the most boring track ever!?!?!?!

[knore]

Hated it.

Hosts dont fit, especially not when they are trying to emulate the original show.

The guy who did the shark stuff just irritates me.

That track is the most baron and and pointless piece of tarmac in australia, is it an old go kart track!?

I sincerly doubt that it will go past the 8 episode contract. But then again, they voted bush in again so who knows these days

[nuffsaid]

I would make a judgment on the track, but I HARDLY SAW IT

The footage of the cars doing their hot lap on the track was appauling. All you saw was the inside of the car + stig, then car on a straight, then car + stig again, then straight again. I couldnt really make out what the track looked like.

Also, there were a couple scenes of the Porsche where they blurred in and out on the bumper of the car, did anyone's eyes get all funny? who needs to blur in and out of a bumper 6 times straight! haha

Other than not bad, always improvements to come.

Agree with points about the Lambo + "cap in yo ass" (cringe worthy indeed)

I'm still going to watch it though haha i still have faith in it

and what do 50 million retarded Americans re-electing a fellow retard president out of sympathy have to do with Australian produced television?

[bnr#@]

Haha, I noticed that the GTR was haltec's to... Show has potential but needs to develop, the problem is that its not realy on a main stream channel so only ppl that know top gear will realy watch it....

[funkymonkey]

did anyone record a copy of it?
