Top Gear Australia - Date Announced

[Chase Rockwell]

Cox is fucked, last bit I bothered watching was the desert to the tropics bit, he looked like he wished he was anywhere else but doing that segment. He should be fired, Brown should host the show and him and the other guy should get someone like Captain Slow to make fun of.

It’s the final episode of the series and Top Gear Australia takes the ultimate drive through Tasmania with the hosts taking their dream cars along for the ride. It’s Holden versus Ford - this time we take a look at the entry-level Commodore and Falcon, Charlie test drives the new Jaguar and we put an Australian actress in the Bog Standard Car.

Charlie Cox, Warren Brown and Steve Pizzati are each given free reign to pick the car of their choice for a weekend road trip through the Apple Isle. Meeting at the Spirit of Tasmania departure point in Port Melbourne the lads eagerly arrive - Charlie in a Porsche 911 Turbo, for Warren, a Bond fan, it’s the Aston Martin DB9 and Steve picks the Lamborghini Superleggera. Once across the Strait, they take off for the ultimate boys and their toys weekend away. With closed roads and assistance from the team that operates one of the world’s best tarmac rallies – Targa Tasmania – Top Gear Australia negotiates the luxury sports cars along the long and winding deserted roads in the pristine wilderness of Tasmania’s spectacular West Coast.

It’s Holden versus Ford take two and this time we answer the all important question. After taking a look at the performance vehicles earlier in the series, Top Gear Australia goes back to basics with these iconic brands and compares the entry-level Commodore Omega and Falcon XT on the test track to see how they stack up. Will the Ford be favoured or will the lion roar? Watch Top Gear Australia to find out which car we picked.

Award winning actress, Claudia Karvan (Love My Way) is the final Celebrity in the Bog Standard Car for series one. The popular actress admitted to Charlie that she wanted to beat her The Secret Life of Us on-screen husband, Vince Colosimo on the lap board and joked that doing her hotlap on the Top Gear Australia test track was better than winning a Logie.

Charlie test drives the new stylish Jaguar XF SV8. Excited about the ‘surprise and delight’ features in the new luxurious sports Jaguar, Charlie compares the features to the old unreliable models. “In the old days with Jags, you were surprised and delighted if it started”.

Does the car choice for the tasmania segment sound awfully similar to the TGUK car choices for the best driving roads in italy segment?

Except the TGUK cars were all higher models from memory. Especially the DB9R.

But that's what Australians want. A shitty, unfunny, toned down version of a cult TV show with a worse budget (and cast) than your average high school play.

I can't wait for the episode where TGUK just says "So, TGAU has been airing for a while now and they seem to think they are giving us a run for their money. Boys, keep trying."

[Dark Orange]

So this is the segment where they damaged the Lambo? It will be interesting to see how they spin that.

Is anyone else watching it partly because the presenters are so bad?

[2rismo]

I can see that it would be a sick pleasure for some but it's just so painful in parts. The track footage is much better now although I still can't picture it.

[TonyJZX]

it's the proverbial roadside car crash or a fat girl's titties

you wanna not look but you just can't help yourself

No, thats whats turning me off. Its like when you were a kid, say 10 years old, and you're up at 8:30 and the late night movie is about to start...You see the "AO" intials in teh corner, and get excited...then when the good bits get on screen, you get embarrassed and hope that your Mum isnt going to say anything.

I thought the camera work on the GTR segment was bloody fantastic.

I was 3/4 pissed by then though (damn that free box of red!)

[Dark Orange]

I thought the camera work on the GTR segment was bloody fantastic.

I am in agreement - it had a lot of the slickness of the TGUK show, but some less-slick full-car shots, interior shots and an under-the-bonnet shot for the donk lovers would have been nice. We wanna see the car, not fancy camerawork.

I think the show needs more keeler-watts.

Clarkson's review of the 911 GT2 in UK S12E01 was fucking funny, exactly the way it should be done. That is all.

was a vantage n400, gt2 and superleggera

Show needs less keeler-watts, twin twurbos and charlie cox.

Really the other 2 arent that bad, but that cox bloke. Insanely annoying and adds absolutely nothing to the show.
