I cannot believe that they can actually call it a show.

they get an idea and do the most half arsed segment on it.

There sense of humour fails.

I thought there was some big competition to get presenters - whos freakin idea was it to get those guys - they cant drive, there not funny and the stig wtf - the UK stig looks fit, calm and collected - the aus stig looks fat and looks like he struggles to control their cars.

I think Ignition DVD put on a better show than the Aus top gear.

Im a fairly optimistic person and I hoped that they would do a good job and make an enjoyable show but I just cant get into it.

As for drifting? If you call a wallowing oversteer "drifting" - then you are a master of it!

yeah i totally agree after two episodes ive had enough already!

the holden vs. ford was spose to be good challenge and what did they saw at the end their both good and equal what kind of shit is that ther too affraid to offend any potential viewers that ther sacrificing the point of the show(tell truth about the car/s) which makes it seem the show has lees substance. i swear all they did was snatch a few brits taught them the aussie accents overnight because they even look and dress like damn poms and are sooo the most f**kin boring people on tv. i hope 5th GEAR bring out an aussie version as competition hope it shits all over this pathetic rip off of what was a great show. put the brit version back on u cant beat their humour and sarcasm and that jerramy bloke is the best my 2 cents any way very dissapointing

Fell asleep half way through the Falcodore comparison. Who won? Am I right in reading it was a tie? Are they both the best cars on the face of the planet? Please can SBS just run repeats of the UK version. Or 1.5 hrs of Southpark? Or the satellite image? Seriously.

hahah satellite image FTW

i have to admit...the show had its moments, not many but some. you guys were right about the track time. you cant see f-all of the track, all the angles are down low...shithouse. was it me or was there alot of in cabin counter steering when they were doing the ford v holden? the gold mine was ok, but everytime they did a segment in the studio i cringe. their matterial just isnt working for me.

show was better than last week's I'll give it that much... which is not saying much. But by god, I've never seen so much bodyroll on a pair of "best value vehicles for the money" since I watched the Sydney to hobart boat race. WTF, apparenlty sane people are happy to drive tuning house tweaked cars that wobble like a 80 year old's knees?

And as per my previous complaint about last week's show... Absolutely no decent shots of the track, horrible coverage of the "celebrity in a bog stock car"... it was like two turns and he was over the finish line. For a second when they said "from Mad Max" I was hoping they actually managed to get Mel Gibson... but then they introduced some fat git who I'd never seen before. WTF.

Easily worse than last week....... I said I'd give it another chance, but it's official, I hate it. Pathetically thought out special feature at the mine, god-awful empty ford/holden comparo, and the Smart car hearse, well that took the farkin cake. Stig can't drive for shit, and I really mean that.

Top Gear Australia.... DROP DEAD!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
