From what I could see the sand running was at the Millicent Buggy Club (SA)

Not unless the Sygna ran aground there too.

I think it needs time to get its own life.

Say it how you like.
That show was crap.

I hope they find their feet also, just that its an emberresment to the country in my opinion.

I agree, it was crap. We just didn't need it. The UK show might not have been great to start with but it's great now. Why cheapen the whole thing with something so inferior. I hope no Pommies ever get to see it. It's too embarrassing. Holden vs Ford eh? Think I'll give it a miss.

Here's what the SMH had to say about it.

Thanks for that slunnie, I missed the start of the show, saves me downloading the whole thing!

Charlie came off as a complete knob. I spent most of the show wishing he would stop talking.

Pizatti looked like a ferret, and he spoke and acted like he had a nervous tic. I spent most of the show wishing he too, would stop talking.

Warren was good. He came off comfortable and managed to make it all sound less scripted.

The shark stunt was crap. They trashed a moke and the sharks didn't even do anything. They had shots of the car, shots of the sharks. shots of the car, shots of the sharks - but never the twain did meet. Wasteful and woeful.

Well I only got to watch half of it last night and would have to concur with the overall sentiment on here. The only time I found it bearable watching the long haired git was when he was behind the wheel of the porsche. The imitation "hamster" not much chop, just looked like some scruffy bogan they pulled off the streets and the "James" impersonator was the most likeable out of the bunch. It reminds me of the US take off of The Office....its just not the same.....and never will be. Its not so much the format and content of some of these shows, its the personalities that make it. I'd still watch it, if only for the cars, and maybe when they start to fall into synch and it isn't so cringingly embarrassing to watch some of the "take off's" i.e. like presenting the "stig", it may come together. I will see if my mind changes once I have watched the last half hour,
