yep, lame. After all their talk about not being a copy of the orig its ****EN identical but with **** presenters. Identical set, power lap board, reasonably priced car, even have the track at an airstrip. Waaaaayyyyyy too much same same. and they destroyed a perfectly good moke, heathens:scare2:

what a waste of an hour of my life. that was absolute ****. bring on real top gear season 12 :new_russi

I thought it was ****house! Absolutely bloody lame. Who ever thought John Garnham was a good presenter for  car show needs to be shot. The little fella should be hosting some kids game show and the other bloke with the YMCA moustach was mildly amusing at times but the whole thing was like the dusting a turn in dandruff and trying to flog it off as a lamington.

i missed it, to busy putting a P18 exhaust houding on my vf26.

Yep, not much chop. Very disappointing.

Even if they did make it a direct copy, they certainly didn't copy the funny presenters theme. The presenters were s^*t. 

And the time spent on each car was way too short. They didn't even thrash the cars. I mean they had the airport, so why didn't they use it.

Cant wait for S12 UK to start.

Definitely think the test track needs an upgrade too.

And yes I had very low expectations hehe

This already aired?! I haven't seen anything uploaded on youtube yet. When is it on in VIC?

Hi,

They are contractually obliged to recreate 80% of the original show format.

I have no source for this, I just read it somewhere.

Probably isn't even true.

Fake boobs.

Cheers,

It wasn't too bad but I agree with most other reviews that the hosts need to stop trying so hard to be funny.

I just got some photo's of the filming of an up and coming episode.  They race a new WRX against a Tiger attack chopper while it tries to get a lock on the car.  Looks interesting, the attack chopper looks like it means business!  Unfortunately I don't think they used live ammo...

All the episodes have already been filmed, so might not get any better.  Let's hope the British top gear comes on soon.
Or just look on you tube, there's heaps of Top gear stuff from the uk on there.
Most of it has not been on Oz TV.

Test track is Camden Airport. They could have at least used Oran Park or Wakefield.

As for the Stig? No balls at all! What happened to being an aggresive driver??? Hitting those turns hard??? No smoking tires nothing!

Call him the panzy!!! So much for being a copy of UK Top Gear
