I made video #1, and I can tell you that it was more for a laugh than anything. I had absolutely no expectations of being a host, but if someone wants to lend you their toys, it would be rude to say no. As for the horsepower and saloon references, I’ve just come back from 7 years in the UK – old habits die hard.

I heard little John Howard, Alexander Downer and Peter Costello have teamed up for the threesome. Their demo CD will be out once Alexander’s Mum unlocks the cupboard and lets him go over to Johnnies house. Script goes:
JH: Errrr ahhhhh ahhhh they ahhhh say this ahhhh ahhh automobile goes errrr really fast…
AD: Yes Johnnie, weally weally fast.. it’s wery scary…
PC: Well viewers, aren’t they a pair of dickheads…
or something like that.
Anyway, I liked the last guy.

Punko i agree that they probably need to snatch an existing and respected australian motoring journilist to head up the show, and personally i think david morley who currently writes for motor amongst other things would be an ideal choice

Surely someone has mentioned Ian Luff. They have been airing a program on Pay TV which he co-hosts with another bloke, I think it’s Scott McGregor.

In any case if you want someone who will call a spade a spade and have some fun, he’d be the best choice.

I think they should try and pull someone from the motoring fraternity and not necessarily one who look pretty on TV. What needs to be important is their respective driving skills.

Agree with ya 110% Wheelnut about the crap American version of “The Office”. Just give up SBS, give up… please!

Denyer is on a pretty tastey channel 7 contract so there is no chance at all he would find his way onto an SBS show, however i personally think he wouldn’t be that bad.. He atleast has some credibility in the sense that he races cars, no he doesn’t win a terrific amount of races but he DOES atleast have some amount of talent and can talk on tv which isn’t as easy as alot of people think!

But out of those 4, first guy was ok, but not really good enough i don’t think, the second chicky didn’t seem to know what she was talking about.. the merceedes was a 5 door sedan was it? and the leather was so good it was actually vynel? wtf? nah she clearly is an idiot. The duo in the third movie where painful to watch, couldn’t get past the first couple of minutes. The 4th dude… yeah hes alright! Put it this way if i didn’t watch top gear australia it wouldnt be his fault cos he was pretty good and has some experience in motorsport which is good. Obviously he would have to put his ford bias to one side but i guess there are two other presenters there which can do the holden v ford comparisons if necessary so thats not really a problem.

Of the lot, only that jason guy in the last video is remotely worthy

Why is the first guy saying “horsepower” and “saloon”. Geeze he’s trying out for Top Gear AUSTRALIA, he should be saying Kilo Watts and Sedan.

Wanker.

The last guy was the best out of the lot, but I have to agree with other replies. It will not replace the original Top Gear.
