"With just two episodes under their belt, the Top Gear Australia team has taken a battering with only 674,000 viewers returning for the second episode, a drop of over 250,000 viewers compared to the premiere episode".

That aint good.

I'd watch it if they got a REAL aussie bloke to give his opinion on a car. For example most of the show would be [bleep] this and [bleep] that piece of [bleep] stink mother [beep]ing [beep]n excuse for a car, tell me.. what the [bleep]n [beeeeeeeeeeeeeep bleeeeeeeeeeeeeep bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep] were they bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepn thinking!!!! lol And now and then I'd like a review in only 5 words or less.... something like "I dont like it! It's fukt!" lol

If I was casting the show, the number 1 guy I'd want to forefront it would be RUSSELL INGALL!!!! He has a top personality and is a real funny bastard. PLUS, he is a well respected man with a lot of experience and knowledge in the industry

Yeah, I saw that. A drop in viewers like that clearly goes to show what the first impressions were. I didn't watch the first two episodes, but got a glimpse of one of the car tests - the Porsche 911 (997) PDK

They really should have just used they're own format; IMO, they have tried so hard to copy something, that they've killed it. I would still probably watch it but not go out of my way. There is so much shit on TV these days; christ, all that I really watch is the AFL, cricket and the F1...

 

[SIVART]

It was a terrible show and they needed to do there own thing not be like the uk show

hahahaha... and I'd gladly decline. I have what they call in the industry... 'a face for radio, not TV' lol

 

[GSRWRC]

so how was round 3 of TGA?

I like it less each week
And it's only at week three d'oh.
I'm starting to wish Top Gear had never let us in on it.

 

[peasoup]

I thought it was the best ep so far. I still dont understnad all the hatred its a good show.

 

[MADEVO]

Question: Why did I see what looks like a Galant on the "What were they thinking" board?

 

[p3akin]

i think that was from the first episode.. they were bagging names of cars.. and reckon legnum is a wierd name etc etc..

 

[EVO-00X]

^^^ That's what I was thinking, its definitely a black Mitsubishi Legnum. I hope they put it up there to say 'Mitsubishi, what were you thinking?' in the sense of "Why didnt we get the thing here???"...

The 7 litre top of the range Commonwhore W427 in tonights show looked nice, but for $150k and 55 litres to every 100km its damn wallet draining. Its now Australias most powerful built car ever but with only 427 ever being made, and 90 odd being put away in storage as future investments its out of the reach of most people.

Does anyone get the feeling the show is sponsored heavily by Holden and Toyota or is it just me? lol

 

[MADEVO]

Tonight was the first I have watched, and simply put i feel that is too scripted and that the Hosts don't have the character to pull it off.

2c

I thought so to but its most aussies dream to have a HSV or a FPR

I havnt watched it after the first episod, and everyone is complaining about it, plus they lost 250,000 viewers after that one

Nope, it's up there because of the name. Top Gear Oz called
it the Leg-Numb {rolls eyes}

As for the HSV W427:
Damn that red leather interior was an freeking horrible lol...
And slower around the test track than an Elise
1:12.28 - Lotus Elise
1:12.56 - HSV W427

 

[peasoup]

Seriosuly it aint that bad, would you rather 'insert' wannabe idol/celebrity/dancing shite on every other channel. No wonder everyone downloads TV now.
