Aussie Top Gear Series 2

topgear au sux

that is all

yah - it needs to shed emulating uktg - all it will ever be is a poor cousin BUT with the dearth of motorshows on my free-to-air tv I religiously DVR it and scan through ea week. What do want, a return to Peter Wherrit car reviews? ha I doubt anyone here would've seen him live to air on those shows. What was the short-lived series on ch9 - car torque?

watched 2 minutes of last season, watched 2 minutes of this season....

(waits eagerly for next season of UK topgear)

The word awful cannot describe it well enough.................I never watch the shows live - what I do is tape them and when its convenient fast forward at double speed and only click play if there is an interesting car - so using this method I watched only the Maserati segment ( of about 3-4 minutes) of the whole 1 hour show of 2 weeks ago

I hope they do not sell the show overseas - its just so lame.

Ok so there was the Ch9 Car Show with Glenn Ridge or Peter Wherrett 'Torque', they were both bad, but from memory neither really tried to be hilarious, or to be something they weren't - in many ways that's even worse. Even if TG UK never existed, many of the jokes on TG AU are so lame, or their tests / challenges so pointless, I'd still tune out.

Such a wasted opportunity. The proof seems to be in the ratings; no. of viewers has declined steadily for each ep. this season, now under 600,000.

its alot better than last year, and i dont get SBS out here so i download it each week. i agree its not the best, but much better than any other aust car program.

Morrison isnt the best option but alot better than charlie cox.

ive got almost all the UK top gear right from season 1, if id seen it on TV back then before seeing the middle stuff first (season 5-7) on SBS i dont think id watch it, that was just lame.

the emulation of the UK tg is kinda needed just to get the ball rolling, im sure they will make it their own slowly.

other than that i'll happily watch it till the new UK season starts, the last one was just crazy, hope they go even more nuts this year. i love going back and watching them run the big trucks (not hiluxes, actual trucks) thru walls and demountables etc, i could watch jeremy slamming into that wall over and over again

Their all still tools, the quicker the show dies and is forgotten the better

Given its not as good as the UK Topgear, but there really isnt anything else good on free to air in this time slot, just wish they would stop showing so much Ford Holden crap.

[Ravs]

At least new UK Top gear next week

[Marlin]

It's farking SHIT

[(B1) MR_fanny]

its an improvement from last season. some of their challenges really suck though.

The only good thing about top gear australia is the words " Top Gear". And when you grab the remote and switch to two and a half men and then when that's finished ducking out to the pub to try and wipe the fact that you were almost tempted to watch Top Gear Australia. Usually takes about $40 to erase the pain.
