Top Gear Australia

[ctjet]

so no likey?

we should start a petition

[madbung]

I'm still hoping the producers or someone will tell Warren Brown he's on a car show...I doubt he or anyone else @ sbs knows where he's meant to be atm.

Holden v Ford : bad enough, if they insist on doing it at least review the cars....but why bother when you can throw the cars around a shit track a few times then come to some trite convoluted non-result. TOPGEAR [lite] WTF!! dun want!!

How about a desert challenge or something else Australian like...

[Marlin]

Exactly!!!!! How about something similar to what Michael Stahl did years ago in a new Porshe 996 Carrera 4? Crossed the Simpson desert, and blasted the Porsche up and over the dune called "Big Red" while traditional 4wd's looked on.

Now THAT would be great, but PLEASE don't get little Steve Pizzatti to do it, he's unwatchable.

so is that chopper look a like a cartoonist or something? cause all he seems to do is doodle. if i wanted to see a doodle id look between my legs not watch a car show. whats up with that "fully sick" cartoon he drew too? i didnt get it? had some sort of arab in a car

[Marlin]

Hmmmm, for some reason the tossers think that Indian people say "fully sikh". ??

[MacGuyver]

I thought it was better than the first episode. I didn't mind the Ford GT review but it didn't have much to it, just the host driving around and acting like a cock. That Smart car 'challenge' was rubbish! I reckon they should see if they could drive from Sydney to Perth in a reeeeally cheap car, that would make a better challenge.

I've got a series of pics of that jump somewhere..... awesome.

They say they have 3 race drivers and a W.Brown.....If they did a Targa event or similar it'd be a good basis for a show or 2.

Chances of an early retirement would be pretty high though.

There "Race" track looks nothing more than a taxi way at a local airport for 2 seater planes!

Bring on Andrew and the ignition team for a weekly show!

lol I dunno what Top Gear UK shows you watch, but the original UK show uses an ex WW2 Airbase runway and taxiway.

[Kujotk]

it wasn't as bad as you guys make it out to be, yes they are all annoying hosts and the ideas were alittle shit but give it time, they need feedback to improve before they are axed..... you never know it could turn out ok

[Kujotk]

another thing..... who compares a v8 commo to a xr6 turbo falcon????? like why??? dont they know falcon has the v8 aswell???? personally id rather the xr6 turbo but too bad i hate aussi built cars

[GTS4WD]

To follow the English Top Gear which had thoroughly planted their feet into the automotive presenting world. Its a hard act to follow straight out of th gates.

The Australian one just remindes me of the very early season English one. Give it to the end of the season, Im hopeful it will do well

Andrew was asked in for an interview for one of the host positions...he knocked it back.

a 'sikh' is a person who follows a religion called sikhism, its an indian religion. they dont cut their hair so they wear the turban to stop their hair going everywhere.. just because he had a turban doesnt mean he is an arab.

they were talking about an india brand of car called TATA and he made the joke that it was 'fully sikh' which is an indian religion.. it was a pun, a very bad one..

you learn something new hey. im sure the average uninformed viewer wouldnt have understood that pun either other than the typical "fully sick" part from fat pizza.

you could also say just because he had a turban doesnt mean he is an indian either.

[nerm]

ah ha!! i was expecting a reply like that. i didnt just decide that he was indian because he had a turban. i know in this case that he was from india because warren brown (topgear presenter with the annoying top lip catapilar) said he was a sikh and that they were talking about an indian brand of car. i mearly stated that just because he has a turban doesnt make him an arab "had some sort of arab in a car"

but this topic is about topgear.

i thought it was really lame but there is HEAPS of room for improvement. all their car reviews were so short and limited, the review about the maybach didnt actually said anything about the car other than it has heaps of switches and that you can make phone calls from the back..

[Sonuku]

didnt watch it.

boycott.

[funkymonkey]

i can't believe how big a tosser some of you guys seem, the ONLY decent attempt to come out of australia at a car show and all you can seem to do is call for its cancellation or boycott it? who cares if the content relates to you or not? they had most of the right bits, and at least one hero car per episode. I bet you twats would rather watch australian idol or today tonight instead.

if a guy representing your country doesn't win any medals at the olympics you still cheer the fucker on... why should it be any different with a TV show?

[MearCat]

i can't believe ...</stir>

Here here funky! If you look back on the Top Gears in days gone (even say 3 years ago when Hammond wasn't on it), the show format was a bit boring in places and needed improving. The Oz version has been going for TWO weeks! I say they have done well enough and will certainly expect that they will fine tine the format and segments as time goes on just like Top Gear UK has done. Give it a chance you Idol-watching muppets!
