In all the people I know who've owned or had anything to do with kombis, only one or two didn't like them. Unfortunately I'm married to one of
them. 
But I digress.
How is it that in the last two weeks or so the show has featured six or seven completely useless and unaffordable mercs, bimmers and audis, but given
one german workhorse that more Aussie have owned than have had trips to the dentist and they think it's a good idea to right it off as useless?
Sure old kombis are old and slow, but so are HK holdens. 2 weeks ago a standard 4 cyl camry wagon beat said holden (albiet somewhat worked too) over
the quarter and they didn't diss it. Good on James Morrison for getting up them about kombis. They've gone down in my estimations by some
distance.
And what is it with the star in a bog standard car thingo? Almost everyone they've had so far has been a full on petrolhead with motorsport
experience. Of course James Morrison can drive fast, he owns an Aston Martin for crying out loud. I've been waiting for the show to get better, but
I might not wait much longer. Alby Mangles did a better job of driving from the desert to the coast than they did and the background shots of one of
them doing no.2s were just unneeded. The jokes are fake, the driving is boring, the cars are completely boring and the personalities...oh, sorry,
there aren't any. The rubber snake prank was the highpoint of last night's show.
One word describes the whole thing. SOFT! 
More hooning, real cars, decent challenges and proper personalities is what they need. But I'm not holding breath...and believe me, I wanted to see
it succeed more than anyone. Otherwise SBS, it's time to activate the ejector seat and get Clarkson and the boys back. At least they are real.

Greg Murphy and James Courtney in Dato 1200s would be bloody hilarious.......
They need to get rid of that "What were they thinking" segment. That is just crap!
Must admit at least they don't talk over each other as much. Must admit the crowd last night was pretty big though.
UK Topgear is back on, on 24 Nov!!!! BRING ON 24 NOV!!!!

Hi
Looks like James Morrison is the new host for Top Gear in 2009. He's a major rev head and used to own a spliity to carry his gear around.
Charlie Cox got the punt.
Ive heard John Cadogan from Wheels magazine on the radio and I reckon he would be really good on TGA.

Why don't they give Skaife a jersey. He's looking for work, and can drive a little.

Thought I'd dig this thread back out because
a/ I'm a genius (see above) and
b/ reckon the Aussie show is still shit, although better than the first season, and
c/ want to take dibs that the Aussie Stig is either Mark Skaife or Alan Jones.

Hi
I thought it was huge improvement over last season, Warren Brown has really lifted his game, James Morrison was very good, the other bloke has
improved as well.
When James Morrison was a guest last season, he said he used to own a Kombi, gotta give him points for that
Ive heard that the Stig is that Bargwarner bloke.

Yeah, I thought tonite was pretty good... James Morrison is a MASSIVE improvement over Charlie Cox.
I reckon Steve's got a point on who the Stig is... height is about right for it to be Bargwanna.
Best part of the show - the look on Skaifey's fast when he was told that first time - he was ready to go him I reckon !!!

Wazza has always been ok in my book. Morrison sounded like an ad voiceover when testing that Evo, but he relaxed a fair bit towards the end. What it
need to finish off the presenters lineup is to hold Steve underwater until he stops kicking. His replacement can be anyone who hasn't got a voice
like an ADHD 5-y-o with severe nasal congestion.

The Steve character is trying less to be like Hammond now but he is still annoying. This was the first episode I have watched since the 2nd one of
the 1st season. I doubt I will watch again until they start doing things that are not based on what the pommie version has done and done better.

i thought it was much better - i enjoyed it enough - it may not compare to the 'best' Top Gear episodes, but some of the pomme episodes aren't that
exciting at times.
Best bits of show, the 'What were they thinking bit' - frig i thought, you idiots - you didn't keep it did you!!!
And im with Sides SKAIFEY's face - what a sore loser! Even though he actually won, geez the guy was ready to massacre the place - take it easy
Skaifey!

James Morrison = legend; so how could they go wrong with that choice..
the other 2 have settled in better and carried the show, though at times i cringed at the attempt at humor
but overall is was watchable and so way better than with that other wayne kerr who got the punt..
Hooray for common sense..
now all jimmy needs to do is roll up in a bus and stick it to em..

Question (sort of). If the guy that got kicked off was sort of taking the part of Jeremy Clarkson (main man), who is doing the job now ????
Also, I think the Stig might be Russell Ingal. The way he stood with his arms crossed looked exactly like Russell on the Super Cheap Auto adds.

I was much more impressed with last nights episode. I haven't watched any since episode 3 of last season. When they started talking about putting
kombis on a bonfire was when I switched off.
I thought clobbering the 'What were they thinking' board with the lamo shark repellant mini was a great idea

Just got back from the shooting of episode 5 and they are getting better. They feature a low light bay camper in one of their challenges (which James
Morrison very obviously likes), so worth catching the episode for that reason alone. It will screen on Monday June 8th.
