deane30 30 Report post Posted November 3, 2008 Has anyone seen the new Australian Top Gear? I watched the first episode on youtube and thought it was pretty average, but obviously it was never going to be as good as the origional. I was suprised at how similar they tried to make it to the UK one and the presenters (especially the one with the moustache) really annoyed me. Apparantly there is going to be a US version aswell.

briancol 3 Report post Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) I see that the English Top Gear team are due to tour NZ with a stage show in the new year. I am curious to see how they can do the show on stage though. The Stig doing fast laps around the auditorium, Richard Hammond crashing a jet powered dragster into the front row of the audience, May trying to do a 3 point turn in his Roller on the stage and Jeremy Clarkson introducing Jeanette Fitzsimmons (sp) "A star in a reasonably priced car" putting some petrol guzzler through it's paces.

martyyn 2 Report post Posted November 5, 2008 Next year !!!! Saw it last night mate Well perhaps not the episode from Vietnam but that 'run' was in the teaser from episode 1 of the new season that I watched last night. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deane30 30 Report post Posted November 5, 2008 After watching a few more episodes of the Australian TG I 'm enjoying it quite a bit more. You just have to stop comparing it to the UK one. I still can't stand the moustache guy though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2002 Report post Posted November 5, 2008 Just watch the new episode of Top Gear UK Season 12 and you will realise how much better it is. How can you not compair it when the Aussie show is just a copy. Why on earth did the Aussies hire a cartoonist though? Maybe it will get better in a year or so.
