What did you think of the first Top Gear Australia?
Did you hear Numpty get a mention? 'What are you doing you Numpty?' yelled, I think Warren, out the window of his car. (Nice mention too of Lucas electrics).
I've learnt not to take a soft roader anywhere off tarmac - pity they didn't try a Freelander 2.
I think the 3 guys are good, and will only get better as they relax and stop trying. I think Warren is my fav so far.
Here's hoping we'll see some land rovers - I think I saw a Rangie in one of the previews.

I must be in a different time zone, finished over an hour ago in NSW.
I don't reckon it was crap. Top Gear UK has been running for over 11 seasons now. I watched the first again recently, that was pretty poor.
Whatever Top Gear Aus does will be compared to UK, and whatever the presenters do/say will be compared to Clarkson, Hammond & May.
Our three, Warren, Blond & Stubble seem a bit self conscious so far - to be expected for their first show - huge weight on their shoulders. But I enjoyed seeing Australia, & a bit of Aussie humour even if it was put on. Once they stop interrupting e/o with prepared jokes & get a bit more spontaeous it'll improve.
I was a bit disappointed with the race track tho. Looked like a 2 car wide strip of tarmac as tho someone had said 'we need a track at an airodrome', but only Back'o'nowhere would let them do it - looked more run down than the US race track.
They were a little preemptive to ahve the studio filled with the cars that we'll presumably see them use in upcoming episodes (the equivalent to the UK Hilux), surely you should only put it in the shed once it's been aired.
If they let it run for a few seasons they should really hit their stride.
It would be ok if they didnt try to be the real Top Gear crew, HMMMM did anyone else pick up who the Stig was by the way he sat when driving, i reckon it has to be Skaife.
Yes i agree 3 jap crap soft roaders when there is a couple of Euro ones that would have performed better.
OOHHHH cant wait for next week, Ford against Holden what a thrilling show that will be, as if we dont get that shoved in our faces enough now

I have too agree, however I think they are trying to be the pommie guys and not us comparing them to the English.
If they relax and be themselves it should get better, they did so the short comings of the soft roader though

I can see the marketing point of it tho, if you're trying to tap into a huge part of the australian motor loving market.OOHHHH cant wait for next week, Ford against Holden what a thrilling show that will be, as if we dont get that shoved in our faces enough now
Here's hoping Warren will get some influence to bring real cars in down the track.
