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.

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
Crap delivery
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

A few facts about top gear
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 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)

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

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.

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"

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.
