Last night's episode was, in my opinion, the worst to-date. It was one long embarrassment, relieved only by the closing credits.

To late Pete already started next filming

and to think they closed roads on the west coast of tassie for that last one no idea why no traffic in Tassie and no speed limits according to the local's

Yeah, thought it was starting to improve, but the last one went back to the bottom.

The Real Top Gear back next week

So reading the posts here the consensus is that Pom's do it way better than Aussie's

Do I dare wonder what the USA one went like do I care

Ok I did a search and seems USA Top Gear is dying http://www.savetopgearusa.com/drupal/?q=blog/3 also on the same Blog page announcement that a Russian Top Gear is to be made.

Anybody catch last monday nights episode. I turned off after the sendup of the ad where they were bouncing things off a trampoline. The car Vs. jet ski race to Portsea was a wank, don't know who won, don't care. What a load of rubbish.

He must be having a quiet laugh or vomiting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are still a joke and will wish they were axed after the first one!!!!!!!!!!!

[Woodwould]

Funny, TBO and I both agreed that it was the best episode to-date. I think the trumpeter is infinitely less noxious than blondie-no-brain was. The humour is infantile compared to the original masters', but it was just watchable - IMO.

Was an improvement nice to see the up market car given the stick agree the wave runner bit was crap they killed the "What were they thinking wall"

The old commercial for Holden was still as bad as when they made it.

Not one word about Ford or Holden hoooorrray

They'll never get to UK Top Gears level.

Just as cringe worthy as The Footy Show, now all it needs is some scandal

[rotten_66]

I watched two or three episodes last season, and thought it stunk, but thought that I would give it another try on Monday night.

That unfortunately is one hour of my life that I will never get back!!

No more for me thanks.

I aldo agree that James Morrison is a valuable addition. They are never going to be as good as the UK version, but will still show some cool sheyet.

I think I detect some cultural cringe.

[Shedhand]

James Morrison will never live this rubbish down.

What these guys should do, before filming commences, is get pi$$ed. Loosen up a bit. Everything about the program seems too contrived and stage managed. There is very little, or no, spontaneity as there is in the pommie version. They try to hard too emulate the poms. Its a different culture here and SBS has lost sight of that. The British seem to have tapped into a format and the right personalities to give TopGear UK a genuine global appeal. Punchy, humourous, informative and above all else, credibile hosts.

The guy with the depressed bottom lip and ratty mo needs a head transplant - has a great face for radio. Get him off.

If I was an car manufacturer I wouldn't let my marque anywhere near this lot of untalented chardy quaffers.

Rant Off.

I lacks a bit of punch, but it's not that bad. Jeremy Clarkson's a pretty difficult character to emulate. He's a charismatic fella. Don't you agree though that it's something to watch while they're making the next round of UK episodes?

This guy would be my first pick as main presenter for Oz Top Gear. He's a natural in front of the camera, he can drive AND he knows what he's talking about.
