Missed it to. A friend SMS'd me AFTER the fact. Grrr.

I'd be very suprised if a 2nd series of TG Oz was commissioned. They're all try hard of the original, however I don't blame the hosts, but the franchise.

I'm standing by to get flamed here but...

Am I the only person on the planet that thinks TopGear is a bit too campy ??, I mean it's like 'queer eye for the straight guy' motoring show

Poofy little guy with lots of make up, and two queer old guys going on gay little adventures ???

Not that there is anything wrong with that if that's your kind of thing but, as a car show...

I better go put on my flameproof pink jumpsuit now

Camp, yes. Gay, no. They're English. That makes them fruits to begin with. Doesn't mean they're not highly entertaining.

I bought my TGLIVE tickets the morning they came out. Can't wait.

If you havent already, download season 11 ep 4 and 5... Jeremy vs the other 2... race from one side of japan to the other, GTR v Bullet train and other forms of transport and then Clarkson takes the GTR to Fuji speedway to review it properly...

Gotta love the cars it beats around the test track too.

I think the aussie show aint too bad. If you have ever watched the first season of the UK "New" Top gear it was crap too. They had Clarkson, Hammond and this fat guy named Jason Daw or something like that and he was terrible! The first season of the NEW format was struggling to get the numbers of people in the first couple of episodes and you could see it in the hangar. Once the second season came and they ditched the fat dude for captain slow it started to get better.

You have to remember they are now 12 seasons strong and have worked together for a few years now. The Aussies are only a season in and they have season 2 coming (already filmed most of it) so it can only get better. They need to ditch Warren the cartoonist though, he is sooo far from being a good car reviewer. Give them time they will get it together.

We are not the only ones to have taken the reigns of the show either. The US and Russia have also got 'local' versions of the show.

UK is still the best though and the new episodes were on tonight

Yeah but the Aussie guys have the wit and screen presence of a rotten carrot thats been in a dogs anal cavity for 3 weeks.

I think they should have gotten the dog to host it :)

a bluey, staffy and a labrador would have been funnier.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
