I wood hav thort that if you are doing an aussie version then it should be aussie themed, not a straight out copy of the english version. The Stig is the poms driver, why dosn’t the aussie test driver have an aussie name???

We wood also like to here the awesome sound of the engines that you show and not miss it because all we here is you guys going corrr or geez or making sounds that you would normally here on a sunday morning after a nite on the piss!!!! Please let us here the engines they have such a beautiful noise on there own rite. Thanks

Didn’t expect the utter copy of UK format even down to the segment of some moronic pursuit and the bloody Stig – puleez. Can’t believe how closely they have cloned the 3 stooges from the UK. I expected at least SOME originality and although Warren Brown is entertaining, he’ll have his work cut out to save the show from the other two self confessed heroes.

O, yes I agree but you can’t have an Aussie car show without some kind of Ford vs Holden rivalry. It’s just that there should be more on the show than just comparisons between 2 car makers in every episode.

“Holden vs Ford is due in episode 2. ”

Here we go again…same old debate…bigger engine with most kilowatts will win regardless of how much fuel will take.

Ok I was a sceptic, up until I got watching that video. Anyone who manages to get burn outs on haul roads past mine managers has me thoroughly impressed. A combination of blowing stuff up, having fun in cars and lots of dirt and breaking things, men after my own heart. I better be able to download these from the net when I go to NZ for 12 months, might have to buy the DVD and get it shipped to sheep land.

Very promising indeed, I’m feeling excited already. Looks like they’ll be having a junk yard race too.

I have one last thing to say about this…

CAN’T WAIT, BRING IT ON!!! :mrgreen:

Yep, looks promising. Mix of entertainment and cars, but without trying to be too much like someone else.

Presenters seem like the sort of Aussie blokes we all are likely to have as friends (even that old guy), so we should feel right at home.

Judging by the way the magazine is flogging wheels in the newsagency (top gear sells out in 4 days, wheels left gathering dust) this how should be a hit.
An electronic media version of the magazine will be a south park like smash for SBS.
Go you good thing..

Gibbo:

I agree. I was there too, and considering it is a carbon copy (with few surprises) of the UK show, I think the guys are doing a great job. As we get to know the team better I think the show will grow.

If it’s able to offer a substitute for Jeremy Clarkson’s sarcasm and over-the-edge analogy, and Richard Hammond’s subtle humor, to say the least, I would say it’s good.
