Love you feedback of a show that hasn't even been aired yet.
How can you call something crap if you havn't seen the first episode ever made yet?

Same with fat chicks. Most people who bag them haven't driven any.

i wanna see some aussie cars going around the track.

Its not as shit as i was expecting but shit compared to UK version

The Stig's "aussie" introduction was crap.
I will judge the entire episode based on the mere 30 seconds I watched: Not a fan at all. Since that's a totally fair and unbiased and holistic way of judging something

wasnt a fan of the star in a cheap car.
was vince colosomo (fucked if i can spell it)
he seemed to be told what to say from the start and jus said it all without really needing prompts.
and then the actual lap seemed pretty slow and boring (matter of camera work really)

eyah the camera work and sound isnt that good, there track doesnt look that big based on that. the hummer the full way round would of been good.
And star in a bog stock car would of been better in like a 1990 ford laser or something more classy

Lol Niko's a detective on City Homicide? I doubt it. No offence to him but sometimes when he speaks he sounds like he needs speech therapy.

next week they are doin the whole ford vs holden thing. might be allright
anyone else notice at the start the 2 younger of the 3 didnt look very comfortable driving.
they jus seemed real tense just driving through some beach water.

It has promise, give it some time. I have never seen a good pilot. The cast and crew need time to gel, and shape the show around the demographic.
Anyone else ever watched the first episode of brit top gear? I'd prefer to watch paint dry.

It was alright but not great. I'll still watch it but it doesn't compare with the UK version.

Just wait untill they get to the E series thrashing, it'll pick up then.
Pretty piss poor that they haven't shown any australian cars for the first episode. Piss off the cars 90% of the people in Australia can't afford- get back to more down to earth cars.

Comparing the pilot of the Aussie version and the UK version the Aussie one is a hell of a lot funnier.

I didn't mind it. Definitely better than other Aussie car shows I've seen. I agree with Donno - I think once we're more used to seeing them and they've had time to work together and become friends instead of just colleagues, the show will work much better.

If it's not on torrent then it doesn't exist in my world. I'll check it out one day though.
