Top Gear Reminder

[Dezza]

Next weeks looks promising. Amphibious vehicles and Toorak tractors (as in the heavy machinery type)

[FairmontXR6]

the hsv was good but i wouldn't pay 150g for it.

There is a write up about the HSV in Motor Mag this month, not bad info.

[Dumpsta]

Jeremy Clarkson announced on one episode of the Uk version that they had won an award for some Best BBC Show Unscripted blah blah blah, is TopGear Australia also 'unscripted'. Some of the lines and cracks on the Aust ver are just so lame, sounds practised..?

Those Stig intros are definatly practised! You can see him searching for them in his "brain".

Any time I get to see astras getting f*cked up puts a smile on my dial

[donno]

"We've even got a whistle and a light for attracting sharks" - Gold!

Presenters seem to be getting into their stride now. Would be great to see Warren do a few more reviews though.

So where have all the people paying this show out gone? (Not that I'm complaining)

[Frost]

I will say Shannon Noel, they could of mentioned something about his DD charge or something

[Rollin]

Yeh - who would have thought that homostobic could drive?? I hate his music like I hate FWD but he'd not a bad steerer

P.S. I was very surprised at the Audi - that thing did a much better job than the TGEU blokes did, but I wonder how much input they actually had?

Not a bad episode actually, best so far IMHO.

[Dezza]

They should have put an alcohol interlock on the Proton!

I reckon it was a good episode. lol at backing over the Saab

[Frost]

LOL at the pov pack race. Ford by at least 2 car lengths.

And holden still using a 4spd auto since 1988.... Time for them to move on I rekon.

[bentls]

e-gas FG falcons only come as 4 speed auto.
basically the same box as the 4 speed ea's back in the day (not identical but id say the holden ones have been revised a few times aswell)

[Phillis]

IMO the series started slow, but the last few episodes they were on the ball. next year can only be 11ty times better.

they're already ragging on the pommy top gear!

[Bipolar]

Good on 'em for not being afraid to pick a winnah. Falcon FTW.

[Rollin]

SHIT!!!

Been on the bloody phone to Revengelanes brother for the last 11ty hours and I forgot

[Bipolar]

I hope you kents are watching SBS instead of on here right meow!!!

[bng]

ahh computer right next to tv... best of both worlds

[Phillis]

that was actually a rather dull episode. that lancer at the end was heaps nice but

[Dezza]

ahh computer right next to tv... best of both worlds

haha. Computer connected to the TV ftw! Particularly if it's got access to every Top Gear episode, plus around 500GB of TV shows and movies.

[wolf]

New oz eps or the last season of uk?

[BROCKYB8]

uk i believe

[Kenaz]

I'm with Philis, I thought it was pretty boring this week.

The new Panamerra (sp?) looks terrible.

[ClassicAU]

Anyone know if/when season 14 of real Top Gear is coming out?

[Frost]

Who is watching it tonight?

Bath-Hurst edition, stupid poms can't even say it right.

Although they did get the bit right that said "Ford and Holden hands have a fist fight and during the interval the paramedics come in and somewhere in between it there is a race"

[Phillis]

mar-lew

haaahaha. it was grouse to see them thrashing those cars though. first time ive ever liked the look of the maloo.

but that last past with the aston martin was amazing. the cinematograhy on this show is brilliant.

[bng]

but that last past with the aston martin was amazing. the cinematograhy on this show is brilliant.

absolutely brillant camera work
sort of depressing thinking about what he said, even though it wasnt much. hopefully he is wrong

[Bipolar]

I just heard Channel 9 has bought Top Gear Oz off SBS! They're gonna ditch 2 of the hosts and for at least the first 6 episodes they're gonna have Jeremy Clarkson and Shane Warne.

[rhys]

hmm i hope JC is as good without his co-hosts.

it will b good to have a proper host for once tho

[ClassicAU]

LOL, sure Todd. I suppose they will get David Boon in to see if he can break his cans record on a drive from Melb to Torquay!! LIES!!

[bng]

EPIC FAIL if it goes there... going to be even worse with warne

[Bipolar]
