For one night only…

In what can only be described as compulsory viewing for Australian motoring enthusiasts, Monday night TV has for one night only become twice as good.
At 6.30pm on ABC1 program Talking Heads, host Peter Thompson talks with legendary racing driver Sir Jack Brabham (OBE) touching on the early years, the Repco Brabham and his estimable career.
Then at 7.30pm on SBS, Top Gear presents a Pom’s view on Aussie Muscle with the HSV Clubsport R8, or Vauxhaul VXR8, being put through its paces as only Jeremy Clarkson can. There’s also a guest appearance from F1 ace Lewis Hamilton.
If you’re not going to be home set the DVD recorder as this is about as good as motoring TV gets… for now.

Hey Matthew,
As FPV don’t export to the UK at the minute, it’s unlikely they’ll test one. But I could place a bet the Aussie Top Gear boys will be on to it in a big way.
Cheers Matt.

Seen it - (thanks Channel BT!) not as funny as the last time Jeremy Clarkson did a review on the Monaro with the “Austryan” traction control off warning system. :)

I was laughing as I watched Clarkson having fun with the Commy. It was a great show from start to finish.
