Its strange how 4wd clubs try to promote safe driving techniques & looking after your vehicle.So here are these three "MORONS" driving through the surf(i dont know about you guys but i dont like driving around in rust buckets).
Very scripted and copied from the origional (which incedently seems to have dissapeared from our screens!). I enjoyed it but all 3 are carbon copies of the Uk origional. Warren the cartoonist was my personal fave having watched him in Peeking to Paris. So the others were complete unknowns to me but like fungus will take a bit to grow on me. Next week looks to be ok with the Holden/Ford faceoff but I would hope it to be impartial and unbiased in its assessment and show Ford to be the clear winner by a longshot otherwise I will have lost all respect for anything automotive and will have to settle for my 50cc moped as all hope for humanity will surely be lost.😉

btw at least the stig looked like an aussie as i noticed a pack of winni blues tucked up under his sleeve whilst prancing about in his alpine stars track day suit thrashing some rubber round some outback aerodrome.. 😂

Sheeesh!!

I thought they were pretty average, I thought the dunking of the moke with the sharks was naf, and the 3 minute story on the maybach just really strange, vince collosimo was a crack up though...but the first series in the uk were pretty average too...Warren Brown was definetly the best of a pretty average outing...

Uh huh... rriiiiiiiight. Unbiased and impartial, but Ford HAS to win ???
Although I'm Red all the way through (VW first of course) I'll freely admit that at the lower trim levels the current Falcon is a better package than the Commodore. Go higher tho - SS-V compared to XR-8, HSV compared to FPV/FTE/WhateverFordHasTheseDays... well up there the Holden is ahead of the Ford.
Plus the current Falcon looks like a tarted-up Camry.

Good format

They should have turned it into an aussie show rather than an exact clone of teh pommie version.
Turned off half way through.
thought the Porsche segment was pretty laem, the yhad to show teh car in heaps of funny angles as whenever you saw a long shot is was going 80 kays on beautiful windey roads.
I went to the filming of the second episode that will b on next week. I stood round from 2pm till 6.30 on the 40 degree day watching take after take and it was all ford v's holden. I really hope it gets better than this especialy after all the hype.
The question is will SBS run the english version as well. If they dont im sure it will b back by popular demand.

I really like both holdens and fords up to the HZ holden and XC Falcon. After that, they all turned to disposable plastic junk IMHO.
These days, the only difference between Ford and Holden is the badge on the bonnet.

Long live the straight 6!!

And I really miss my XM. Solid old jigger she was..

Id much rather the new models than the old piece of shit VN, VL etc etc (don't know the ford equivilants 😂) My brother has a VN sitting unregistered in our garage atm. It is one of the most poorly built cars IMO. It has lasted very well after ALOT of abuse though 😁

VL Holden -> XF Falcon (1985 - 88)
VN Holden -> EA Falcon (SHITBOX!!)
After that I lost track/interest - Adam

The paint on the VN was so thin, wallpaper/ricepaper would have been more rust proof!
I my book, anything built after 1975 IS a new heap of shit!!
🤪
Car manufacturers converted to building shite when they converted their speedo's to KPH.
The engineers who designed the HD holden knew that it handled like a bag of crap, BUT in doing so, "encouraged" the driver to be more careful because of it. Engineering??? F**K YEAH!!
😎😎 Still looked good..for a Holden of course!
I like a car based on how it looks cos I am a shallow individual.
😊 The only thing I expect in life to be reliable is my wife

Top gear has been running in the uk since 1977 and was relaunched in 2002 in its current format. jeremy Clarkson presented it from 1988 until 2000 and then again from 2002.
SBS will continue to screen the original, the Aussie one is on whilst the UK one takes a break.
As far as iam aware SBS have never shown series 1 from 2002.
You mob of whinging bastards, stop your bitching and just watch it for what it is.............a car show with humour. Your all free to watch some class telly like Dr Phil or Mclods daughters so if you don't like it, don't watch it and leave it to the other 90% that enjoyed it and STOP YOUR BITCHIN🤓
So your the 90%?

You are the only one I have heard of that seems to have liked it. And it is not a car show with humour, it is crap and I for one will not be watching it again.

I didn't mind it. If it was going to be heaps different to the UK version it wouldn't be called Top Gear. check out other shows from around the world, price is right?, Big brother etc.
Give them time (I thought it was going to be a lot worse)
13BVW 11.80@114mph
Well, it wasn't bad up until the Moke bit. What chowderhead thought that one up? I think that once the actors stop trying to be their British counterparts it might be pretty good.
I'm really fearful of when the American Top Gear starts here. No British program has ever been improved by Americanization.
I wasn't impressed with first show- set up looks good and format is OK but they should be themselves and not try to be versions of Jeremy , Richard and James. It can only improve😊
----------------------------
They are trying to make it too much like the pommy one, which is a helluva lot better then ours
Top Gear Looking up ?
Well it can only get better, I friend of mine told me that some big name Aussie Rock stars are going to be involved in the Ford Holden thing .
I can't say who but.......
"They" apparently will be using proper race cars as well not just the Taxi cabs.
This will add some interest I hope,
I'm going to keep watching but this time I will try to stay awake.
😂
CRAP CRAP I dont think it will be around for long with that lead twit doing it and trying to be funny! well thats what he calls funny no bump just CRAP
Well better than last week but still a load of crap. "What were they thinking" sums it up pretty good.
Holden vs Ford wasnt too bad though "Lets warm up the tyres" 😂
Simon
warm up the tyres was about the best part😂😂

I HATE those things....
Their test track has a corner called Clarkson... Co-incidence. Just sounds tacky. And the lead host would be ALOT better, if he was someone else.
How come the Stig is wearing white?
Its not the pommy Stig is it?
If not he should be a different colour.
Also...
Still think TGA is kinda crappy.
My wife was watching Top Gear with me and was wondering if Chopper Reid has got himself some prosthetic ears so he can present the show!!.🙄🙄
For a minute it even had me wondering😵💫

Haha thats a crazy resembelance.
