One thing I hope they carry over from the UK show is the unrepentant love of fast powerfull cars, and driving quickly that the hosts display. I'd hate to see the local show watered down to appease the safety nazis, maybe they should challege Scruby to do a quick lap
Wherret was actually quite a good host, and the show was quite popular back in the 70s“You have to be the change you want to see in the world.”

yep. and as someone said above, Morley would be good too. as a matter of fact, MOTOR TV would definitely be something I'd watch. Surely it couldn't be that hard to have cameras tag along on road tests etc. They are published by ACP so they would have access to some pretty good resources as far as television goes, one would thinkOriginally posted by MickyDget Paul Cockburn on it.

They have some program called "The Car Show" on Saturday afternoons at around 1.30pm.
It has that Sale of the Century guy on it... Glenn somethingorother. Some dunce of a twit of a woman reviewed the Maserati GT sport. It was really painful!
It is the 'Better Homes and Gardens' for cars.There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences.

Erm ... that would be Glenn Ridge, because he's a known car-buff & allegedly not too bad a driver for someone that doesn't do it for a living. That show was always aimed at non-car-fans ... as is drive.com.au, so I suspect this Drive TV show will be too.Originally posted by cya18rIt has that Sale of the Century guy on it... Glenn somethingorother.Soft roaders represent an excellent compromise between the needs of the hardcore 4x4 user and the convenience of a city hatchback. Its clear to see why they have become so popular in todays society.

I was actually gonna say the same thing (the 'better homes and gardens; part). Glenn Ridge is a decent driver and participates in Targa Tassie etc but has little knowledge of cars. The whole show was directed at joe average rather than car enthusiasts.Originally posted by cya18rThey have some program called "The Car Show" on Saturday afternoons at around 1.30pm.

If its anything like Top Gear, I think it would go well here but I suspect the new show will be the same as 'The Car Show'.Originally posted by XXX19XShitbreak is the epitome of perfection.

I hope this new show doesn't suck arse... I really do, and they've done well by picking Michael Stahl, but as previously mentioned they should have paid Morley to do it as well.
One thing that has always bugged me, is why don't the ABC or SBS screen Top Gear sometime during the week? I mean its not as if they couldn't find 1 hour in a whole week somewhere, and its not like they have any trouble getting whatever BBC programmes they want...Originally posted by klampykixxas an example, an elephant pushes over a tree to eat the fresh leaves at the top, but a human isnt allowed to build a machine that makes a car so he can drive around to places quicker?

athlon.. they pulled it cos it was puss... almost as bad as "The car show" ... It didn't rate, and I watched it maybe twice before going, this is a paid ad for the car manufacturers, might as well not bother..

Such a lame rip off.
It better be a decent show though, inbetween big bother, australian idle and
"rove"
the only thing saving them is having 3-5 episodes of the simpsons on per night.
