Just started....

What do we think of James Morrison?

The general feel of the show? Better or worse than last season?

Discuss :D

Camera work on the EVO at the start was A+++++++. Jokes are still crap, but we've all seen the first two seasons of uk top gear (*yawn*).

Nope. The only one worth anything was the bush basher one...and even that was pretty crap.

Heeeeeeaps better with Morrison. He actually has personality. And you can see they're all more relaxed than last season which makes the whole crew work better.

IMO id like to see skaife host it. he seemed to be more into his lap time that warren was when the actual review of his lap. but yes, IMO, much better this year.

Good improvement on the first series, better camera work etc. Seemed more laid back. The look that skaife had on his face when they read out the fake lap time was classic, good viewing indeed!

Where do they come up with such fuckhead ideas?

Needs more automotive WIN instead of cracking scripted jokes and doing crappy "challenges". Its not like Australia is dead in the ways of motorsports, they could do 70's/80's/90's challenges where they have a couple of thousand to buy a car and do some real modifications to it and put them dirt track speedways, 1/4 mile drags, etc etc. People don't care about a car transformed into a lawn mower, can't anyone with a brain see that?

More actual racing/ thrashing of cars in original ways please. And if I see another one of Walkinshaw's products in this series I'm certain that they are in his pocket.

Would have liked to see more of the 4wd challenges. I drive both a new Patrol and an old Land Cruiser (though a '74 LWB).

Yeah I figured it'd prolly be down the bottom. Be good if it beats something modern but.
