Thread: Top Gear Australia

Another wasted hour.

The test track seems slow.

The mine segment saw 3 more vehicles damaged for what? My wife also questioned its value. It certainly wasn't entertaining.

The hearse segment wasn't funny, either.

Still, it was better than watching 2-1/2 Men or whatever it's called - not that that's saying much.

I liked this episode better than last week, seemed to hang together better and the presenters seemed more comfortable. Or the show flowed better and I didn't notice the presenters quite so much.

I hope they can keep it going, I imagine this kind of show costs a bomb to make. A mate recently produced a half-hour per episode show and said they were surviving on freebies and volunteers at about $80k an episode. That didn't include travelling all over Australia and breaking stuff.

Cheers

yep i agree deffinatly better than last week if they improve each show as they start to relax should be pretty good in a couple of years ....no seriously though i reckon it is improving

Now it's double

I have a suggestion for their 'What Were They Thinking' wall.....Top Gear Australia

What a load of cr@p. A sterile, unfunny and embarrassingly bad piece of personality starved twaddle

And to think I spent so many sleepless nights anxiously waiting for this show to arrive

I think they could ditch the other 2 and it wouldn't matter.

Also a CAT793 is about $4M so if you do the sums as per their little test... it works out a 0.39c which was worse than any of the ute's.

Warren is the best of them. He did a good job with the Peking to Paris series.

How many utes would get used up per week? And you would need thousands of the things each with a driver plus thousands of skid steer loaders with drivers, place would be humming though.

I thought it was better than last weeks show, but the Stig in the GT40 didnt look like he was trying that hard, and the destruction of the utes was pretty pointless..... There was a lot of damage done there.

Holden vs Ford no result was a bit of a cop out too.

I agree about Warren, I reakon he is the best of the bunch!

The show flowed better than last week. The hearse was pretty average, if there had been angle grinders involved I would have been interested

The fake arguing got a bit tiresome as well, but all inall a step forward I think. The Ford Vs Holden wasn't anywhere near as bad as it could have been.

I do think they are doing too many challenges and not enough car reviews though.

I cringed through episode one.... it was pathetic. I was out last night for episode 2 - son taped it... now to get up the courage fro episode 2. The blonde tall bloke is enough to make me throw up.
