    Is that a Mini Moke diving car? Nice!
    Take a note of the SUV’s rego numbers.They will be at auction soon! Lol.
    I have always thought when watching UK Top Gear ‘this show needs more Rav4’s, X-trails, and forrester comparisans!
    /sarcasm.

  2. Tom says:

    I’m a bit disappointed already, i wanted a car show. The comedy only works with the three brits.

  3. kgl. says:

    Tom how do you know these guys can’t be funny?
    I love top gear because its not just about cars its about entertainment, fun and adventure even.

    if you want a car show just watch fifth gear?

    I’m not expecting this show to beat the uk version but I am hoping that it is enjoyable so I’m open for anything when it comes to this new series

    I cannot wait.

  4. Tony says:

    you are right kgl. Fifth Gear is the real car show and the car show that Top Gear used to be up until 2001, at least.

    Top Gear has twice the audience or more than Fifth Gear because it is Entertainment,as you rightly note.

    But you wouldn’t listen to any of the guys from TG if you were seeking advice on a particular car, you would listen to the presenters on Fifth Gear or better still, read the reviews on Car Advice!

  5. The Salesman says:

    I already feel a serge of pride, I can’t wait to see the first of hopefully many series. These boys were picked out of 4000 applications, they would have to be well rounded in their knowledge and be entertaining as well. Come on Aussie.

  6. The Original Tom says:

    I’m open to all that the show has to offer and will try not to compare. I’m happy to watch BOTH shows of course.

    The UK lads have brilliant chemistry on camera. I’m not expecting these guys to try to copy them, but I expect they’ll have their own brand of chemistry.

    We have some real characters here in Australia. I’m sure we all know that older guy that has a quirky taste in motoring and a great many stories to tell (the likes of Paul Cockburn).

  7. GTR says:

    Comment above me ^^. Sounds like a very insperational guy!

  8. Reckless1 says:

    Just read that Vince Colosimo will appear on the first show.

    Now I know the series is going to be crap.

  9. australian? says:

    Must say I am looking forward to this show.
    BUT why oh why , like so many media these days, do they refer to the top gear UK as a ‘Brit’ show. Brits are what the seppos call them. We call them POMS!!!!!!!!!

  10. Joober says:

    “Just read that Vince Colosimo will appear on the first show.

    Now I know the series is going to be crap. ” – LOL Reck!

    I just hope they don’t just have stars of SBS tv shows only trying to crosspromote SBS programs through this show…

    Tony said” But you wouldn’t listen to any of the guys from TG if you were seeking advice on a particular car”.

    You’re right there. We all know how Clarkson feels about Vauxhalls particularly the Vectra. Currently outsells the new mondeo by far. Indeed Vauxhall have 3 in the top ten sellers.

    Do SBS do the internet streaming bit like the BBC. I’d love to see the show.

    “and guess who wins the battle of the soft roaders….starts with a N…”

    Actually, it starts with a V (brand) and a T (vehicle). Shame they didn’t review it though (yet). I’ll let you figure out the rest…

  14. JEYKL AND HYDE says:

    vw,at least you don’t dispute your colours…and i bet you indicate with your left hand too(a learned skill,easily forgotten)

  15. DanMan says:

    Shame you cant actually, you know, buy a Tiguan (sic).
    well you can place a deposit but you wont take delivery until May next year. (TDI). kinda makes it Salesproof.
    Even A vw_Freak would not wait that long..

  16. particip8 says:

    Just heard channel nine are considering Doug Mulray / Shane Warne / James Morrison for the show. AWESOME NEWS!
