In each section with one in it there have been Toyotas. It will be interesting to see if it balances out later. Not holding my breath though.

Certainly noticed that too. The reason UK Top Gear works is that they can and do shamelessly slag off anything if its rubbish. There is no blatant bias evident.

They were thinking they'd rate the roof off !

They were wrong !

The problem is they don't compare, when they tested they BMW last week they said it was'nt any good BUT did'nt compare anything to it ( unlike UK TG )

Also I thought it was bad that the holden W427 whateva took sooooo long to get to 250 ( sounds silly but ) also then they tested it like a hoooon which I thought was the same as the Hilux.

I think they have there wire's crossed and that they need to sit down and go right this is what they want and this is what we will give and NOT go this is what the UK has and we will copy

It'll never be any good with the current presenters. Get rid of them and find three blokes that are entertaining and funny and then it'll be potentially something worth watching. TGUK works because of Clarkson, Hammond and May - presenters with the right qualities.

And please, no more circle work in Hiluxes. The idiots should be shot for that.

I think I was able to keep out of shot most of the time.

Flicked the show on for 5mins & saw Matt .
Missed you though Mark .

Whilst some of it has been good, other bits have really ****ed me off.

The What were they thinking wall is stupid, and its clear that they struggle for ideas for it each week as they get more and more lame.

But the thing that gets me the most is their total disregard for the environment, now im no greenie but 4wders (and i know that they arent 4wders so dont care) are working hard to build an image that is of environmental awareness. In two episodes now Charlie has totally chucked this out the window.

In the first episode when he was hooning around the beach like a moron, promoting behaviour that is not condoned on beaches and has resulted in people getting killed (he was lucky not to seriously prang that Rav when he landed on the other side of that dune) he said "there is nothing better than getting in touch with nature, and ripping it to shreads" or something to that effect.

Then the hoon behaviour in the hilux in the kimberleys, just because he is in the middle of no where and not technically on a road doesnt instantly allow him to chuck donuts and stuff willy nilly. Imagine if everyone who visited the area did that.

Whilst i am all for them having fun but leave the donuts and burnouts and stuff for the track and the sheep paddock. Matt
