Top Gear Australia - Date Announced

[ZENNON]

would have been nice if they spent some more time introducing us to the track.

AGREED!

i think they are trying too much for content for the timeslot

yupp

Hang on; how does sarcasm work again?

haha - yeah that worked - even without italics :D

hopefully it gets better..

[Captain_Slow]

I thought it was decent enough for the first episode, and it should improve as the presenters get used to each other and they get the hang of what works and what doesn't. The segments themselves were pretty decent (especially the Moke one, that was very TG-worthy) but the studio segments need a bit of work.

Presenters were allright, Warren Brown is the undisputed star for mine, Charlie Cox did allright and Steve Pizzati came across as a bit annoying, lame and out of his depth.

Will watch again.

[Chase Rockwell]

OK, I forgot to watch it. Anyone feel like hosting it or something so I can DL it?

[Michael]

honestly it was shit, the old host dude sucks farts from dead people, waves his hand around sits on the chair like a cock, fuck off cunt. oh i drive porsche and race them occasionally fuck off wavey haird poshtosser bean balled pastey wirey death warmed up. i watched Airport security i couldnt stand the fucker. They dont even look at the camera when on the couch, thats where most of the audience is. I hated the show, and i love TG UK. Give it time rarara sack the lot and start again its going to FAIL with that lot.

[MurderCity]

The shark thing is the single reason that show should not be shown...

Whats next? "Will this dog eat this aston martin?" or possibly "will this snail consume this rollerskate?"

Gay.

[Paydirt]

Wasn't overly impressed, but as said a shit load better than any other Australian car show. They were trying too hard. Reminded me of oxy's jokes lately.

[jesus]

gay

super gay

[2rismo]

Man I thought it would be gay as aids. I was wrong.

If ever there was a post that didn't require italics when in any other thread it would, this is it.

[Lon]

The old bloke whos the host is an annoying wanker.

Yup, thats pretty much the impression I got from him.

[SICKM]

Fuck me did RotaUte produce that shit?

[ST]

Geez you guys are harsh I didnt mind it. It has big boots to fill and I reckon for 1st episode 1st season its 100 times better then any Aus car show so far.

Exactly.
I think it was a great show that will only get better the longer it goes.
And you guys need to realise that they are not copying top gear, this is TOP GEAR Australia.
Of course they will use a working formula closely, they would be stupid not to.

[12arx3]

I assume that they have to follow the standard Top Gear formula, as this is like the Australian Franchise version.
It was very try hard though, and the shark thing was totally fucking stupid, had no relevance whatsoever to anything. You knew nothing would happen, and nothing did. Bizarre.
Would be nice to actually see a schematic of the track too, whats the betting that at some time the star in the satria smashes into those chicane barriers?:D There is nothing on the UK top gear track for the stars to hit, and wisely so.

[Southo]

That Cox bloke needs to STOP FUCKING SHOUTING.

The "Hamster" Wannabe is trying too hard

And thankfully they have shot most of the first series already, NO manufacturer in their right mind will lend them cars again.. I can imagine how Pissed off they would have been....

[takai]

dammit I missed it! I was out

anyone bother to record it?

Yeah, I did, although the word on the street is that FinalGear will have a copy up soon. Be faster than my upload speed too.

good start. you blokes are assholes :D

they need to slow down a notch or two. everything was presented - segments and dialogue - at a million miles an hour.

so damn obvious they have Clarkson, May, Hammond clones....

Yeah, i found it overly cramped, just not enough pace per episode. The clones bit was amusing, and the Hammond clone just doesnt have the persona. None of them really do.

Oh and i realised again how crap our attempt at humour is compared to Pommy humour.

[TonyJZX]

the moke thing was pointless

may as well go down in a normal shark cage which was what the moke was really
