Sweet
was much mor eimpressed with it after the change over between Cox and James Morrison. Much better, and at least he says that he simply likes cars
rather than try to proclaim that he knows lots about them. (like some long haired mullet freak that can go back to the other country he lives and
commentates on motor sports in)

Hi
I think some of the appeal of the UK show is the exotic locations and in some of those locations they can do things in cars that would have you locked
up and your car impounded down here.

At least with the Aussie show the taste of the presenters is a bit closer to mine ... the cool board on the UK show just gives me the &*$%@ 's
and they have such a VW phobia.
Give the Aussie one more time and we will love it

Nup. I'm out. Watched my second episode last night.
The road test between the 2 elfins. YOu dont need to know too much about cars to know that a 2l turbo is going to outperform a 5.7litre V8 when the 2L
is 400kg lighter. It steered like a dog. They made a point of saying the trick would be getting the V8 off the line. Well maybe you shouldnt turn off
traction control. They made a point about the v8 being the same engine as the HSV and also the corvette! Wow. Both cast iron pushord engines. great.
They made a big point about the suspension being developed by the SAME people who work on the HSV cars. wow. How much more credibility do you need
than someone who experimented putting different shock absorbers on a taxi.
What on earth was the point of the challenge? To see how long a group of paintballers would yell at a driver? Or to see if a painted mini was more
bullet prrof than a commodore with sheets of corry stuck to the outside?
Not to mention the voice and too much red cordial personality of the "hammond" one.

yeah well I was well sucked in….
I see the prog a few hours earlier than a mate.
so, early in the prog when the low light kombi was wheeled out and it seemed they were going to butcher it, I sent a text to him to tell him to watch
the forum for the inevitable reaction.
"trouble" was, they didn’t butcher the kombi and there was no reaction on here…….
PS. any theories why it wasnt cut up.

Tight budget, it probably belongs to one of the film crew.

When I saw that the Kombi was a low light, I shouted at the TV, "Don't you destroy that low light you **%&$#@s, or I'll never watch you
again!!!"
They didn't and they are forgiven.
Why get so upset about the imminent destruction of a low light?
They are becoming too rare and anyway, they are my favourite bay, having driven one called Gus the Bus through Baja California in Mexico, with the
Manx Club in 1998.

Maybe you'd be better off sticking to Bold and the beautiful or Neighbours?
