    not interested in watching it at all

    can't wait for next season for Top Gear UK though =]

    anyone see the epi that features the GTR-R35?...

    like the rest said...i don't think the aus show will even feature anything besides the usual commos and falcos...

    i would love to watch them say, these commos and falcos are actually shit compared to these imported jap cars that are already more then 10yrs old...NO SHIT!

    love to hate, hate when the love isnt there

    hahaha there is nothing wrong with Commodores AND Falcons its just the drivers that suck (most of the time)
    How many times have you seen kids playing on the Touge at night.

    Yeah it's true Top Gear UK is already interesting and we shouldn't need an Aus version.

    The original version should also explore a range of Aus cars more if that's the case but ohh well .. we'll end up watching it anyway

    the general movie rule of thumb can be applied here.

    "the sequel is always a stinker in comparison to the original"

    I think the formula UK top gear has is great, Clarkson is a salty old bastard, and that offsets the others well.

    the Australian version will just be ex-motoring journalists that've already been cash-washed by Holden to rave about their shitty lineup.

    I still think it might be alright.

    But, I am a little pissed that they chose 3 'already famous'/relatively 'high profile' guys as hosts, instead of at least one ordinary bloke who cobbled together a dodgy home video starring himself and his car. You know, after raving about the video contest for so long. As much as I think Warren Brown will make a good host, did he even have to submit a video, or just make a phone call?

    I predict TopGear Australia will work for a while. We may not like it, but non car people sort of like Top Gear, and even Top Gear Australia magazine.

    I have good info that they are in Tasmania now doing something, not sure what. They had contacted the organisers of Targa Tas.

    TopGear on the west coast of Tasmania. They drove the cars across the dam and got helicopter shots.
