I might be a little too late to win this comp, but I just had an epiphany for a new segment;

Antique of the Week
Each week they discuss a “classic” car from a bygone era and talk about the things that made it [in]famous.

It would also provide a great opportunity for some car enthusiasts from car clubs all over the country to showcase the result of their unwavering passion and elbow grease.

I’d like to see them start with an acknowledged classic like the Citroen ID (DS to many).

From a marketing perspective, I think it would appeal to the demographic of the audience (judging by what I can see in their studio audience), not to mention one of their major sponsors; Shanons.

Give the show a chance,

Aussies are such critics.

It takes guts, determination, hard work, and a belief to create this show, starting from nothing a year ago. It takes even more effort to get up in front of the audience every week and do your best, knowing that comparisons to the 11 season old UK show are inevitable.

However, it takes only a small mind, the safety of an anonymous login and a keyboard to demand TGA’s removal because it not up to “your” personal standards.

forgive me, I dont remember any of these armchair warrior critics lifting a finger to try to make something themselves…

Try to actually make something istead of tearing someone elses dream down, you might be suprised how much work it actally requires.

Guys – I guess to summarise

Is TGA stacking up to the BBC version – OF COURSE NOT.

Are the presenters good? Not really. The Clarkson wantobe has the worse sounding TV voice ive heard and cant not interview people to save his life…

Has the show got potential? Of course it does

Is the show entertaining? YES.. I watch it… what else is on Monday nights?

I guess, I agree with 99% of the criticism, but will continue to watch it in the hope it DOES improve…

All those who want the show axed, how about you just switch the channel?
It lacks quality but I can easily sit through an entire episode and be entertained.

Im sorry Cupid Stunt aka No Name, I just always assumed stereotypes werent usually true. In my time in Australia, I have met very few stereotypical Australians, but thats probably just because of the groups I hang out in. Let it be known that I dont want them to be more english, (I already think theyre trying to hard to be Clarkson, Hammond and May more than themselves) I just wish they were a little less typical is all.

Bloody hell Alex you’re risking your nexk daring to say Aussies are like err Aussies, I’d stick ti TGUK if I were you. If you really want them to be “more English” then it wouldn’t be TGA would it??
