the new 2009 season of topgear UK in the 1st 4 episodes they have talked about the rivalry between ford and holden drivers in australia and NZ claiming we holden ppl attack ford ppl with sticks loland the new holden bathurst has been mentioned, hammond likes the sound but clarkson thinks it sounds like a old victorian crisis (ORGASM for those that havnt watched)
just thought id randomly post this here noidea if any1 actually cares
Here we are, doing sixty miles an hour in top gear and the engine is doing 1,500rpm… It's idling! You fat Aussie slacker!
James May on the Holden Monaro
It always makes me laugh the way Clarkson pronounces Bathurst, "Barthurst"![]()
Question then. How were you able to view that. Possible Linky Linky?????
Thanks! When will it start on TV here then?
Go topgear!
Top gear is the greatest motoring show in the woooooooooooooooooooooooooooorld!

Yes I know, if you get anymore manly you are in danger of making yourself pregnant!
Just torrent it, usually the eps get pulled from Youtube pretty quickly. Ive also found StreetFire also usually has them uploaded there for those who like to stream it.
Clarkson is a ford fan that's why he bags holden, he's owned a few fords also
Actually from what I've heard, he's quite a big supporter of Holden, hence why all the Holdens he's tested (VT GTS - it was before Top Gear, but its on YouTube, have a look for it, Monaro, VXR8) have gotten good reviews.![]()
He said the Ford GT was the worst car hes ever owned and driven, so I wouldnt say hes much of a Ford fan. Hes given fantastic reviews to all of the Holdens hes driven. Hes actually against Vauxhaul, not so much Holden, its just a shame that the cars we send there or more often than not badged as Vauxhauls![]()
Just from all the past episodes I've seen he usually raves about every Ford he drives even the GT which he later bagged after he sold his own. I know he's said good things about HSV cars he's driven but he also had a slight dig at the monaro at first.

I reckon the new season has been a bit hit and miss so far. The 17 yr old's car bit was hilarious but then the stuff like trying to beat a letter across england is fairly boring.
I didn't mind the letter thing, at the end of the day it was just a basic road test of a fugly porsche.
The letter thing what just to add some interest.
I've got the latest episode waiting on my PSP fro the train trip home.![]()
in the latest episode (monday this week)
they "showed everyone how a real RWD drift car goes round a track"
then they show a VE :P
Didn't they arlready do that with the Monaro? That doe that pro drifter to drift the monaro around their track?
was it a VE? looked like the bathurst they showed the pic of early in the season

nah it didnt sound supercharged but i love how they call it his protable rwd drifting car and its the aussie VE hsv
The thing cuts great powerslides but it still doesn't slide aswell as a turbo s13/r32 with around 180ATW and a proper suspension setup.
But seeing as TopGear are against modified cars, i can see why they're using it.
