    Default Top gear Australia

    Hey guys wondering what use guys think of the aussie top gear and when its coming back on tv???

    I got a clip here of youtube watch the first 10 seconds of it, its of the new ralliart evo 10 i drove it 12 months ago now had to work on it, after the gearbox was blown up after only 600km shortly after it did it again lol,

    Also drove an identical one only it was a manual red one was an auto :P

    at the time of me driving it there was only 2 Evo 10 ralliarts in australia and there wasn't to be anymore in anytime soon also got to drive a few prototype 380's one 290kw supercharged 380 it was owned by the head of mitsubishi or something special like that at tonsley park

    In all honesty....I hated it. I watch one episode and that was it. Saw bits of others and well....maybe I'm too used to the English version. But either way I thought it was crap.

    poms are much better.. the aussies try really hard to copy the poms which makes them suck.. if they had their own think going then itd be cool cause they roadtest commo's and the like and not the all new fiat 500.

    I think the aussie one was alright - you've got to remember they had a lot to live up too.

    Once they got rid of Charlie Cox and brought in James Morrison it was good. Bit like comparing apples and oranges though when putting it up against the English version. It'll take a few seasons to really get going, just like the English one did. Remember they ditched that fat guy and brought in James May. Changed the dynamics of the program considerably and definitely for the better!

    gotta remember though it took tguk a good 3-4 seasons to get really settles in and comfortable, for those who have watched the first couple season theyd know its a bore.

    TGAU is good imo, doesnt rate with the UK version but give them time and i think someone good will come from it

    Compared to TGUK, it is a tad lame...but for an Australian motoring show, I think its a considerable step forward. Honestly, if you think TGAU is bad...spend some time watching pure CRAP like "Drive" or "The Car Show"...you'll be back.

    I liked Steve Pizzati, but that's all. I stopped watching it when Warren destroyed the HZ Kingswood in awesome condition.

    Not a fan at all. I'd rather watch paint dry. It's not even remotely entertaining in my opinion.

    Oh boo-freaking-hoo! It's Top Gear, they do things like that! Besides, its not like they blatantly destroy multitudes of them. It's not like it was a rare one off vehicle!

    I prefer TGUK.
    Clarkson, Hamster and Capt. Slow are natural
    entertainer's.
    Although it is beginning to feel somewhat contrived
    nowdays.
    I'm not afraid.
