This is my audition tape to try and get the best job in the world

I had heaps more driving footage but my mate edited it out

cause there were other cars driving on the "private road".

Let me know what you think so I can cry alone..haha

Ben!!! How are we?

Nice vid, should hopefully get you somewhere! You need to bring the sprinter around one day, take us for a spin! (If I am lucky.) Will even open the den for the ke70 so you can have a peek.

I will show dad the video when he finishes up drinking in the garage haha, I am sure he will enjoy it.

Awesome video, good luck. Just curious, is that Sea Cliff Bridge that you are driving along in the opening, and the bends down near lake conjola cause it looks just like them

good luck, hope you become one of the new faces of top gear australia

i'm also very impressed but if i could pick one thing (and i know you're an amateur and you actually did very very well especially with the filming) i would just say maybe if you can if you still have time to re-do the parts where you're standing next to the car and talking...it just seems you're sort of held back a little...don't get me wrong i couldn't do better but if you could re-film those bits and edit them in with a little more confidence in your delivery i would

best of luck with it mate...you got a tv face in my opinion
i wanted to apply but i reckon looking too woggy for aussie tv would have stuffed it :P

Well Done

Nicely put together, shame it didn't go on for longer with more tech shots of the car and more footage .

Good work, but for Top Gear you need even more filter on the sky. The sky should be so filtered it looks like a thunder storm. Also it's good to filter out the Australian blue sky. The British would be upset if they found out we had blue sky.

Like all top gears for each car they also point out the negatives, you fergot to mention whats wrong with this car.

Rust
Over priced
Oversteer!
expensive parts
lacks horse power
and too many dk's

and people can tell that you have never been in another performance car.

Watched this the other day, thought it was one of the best ones out of many I watched. Better than some of the people.. "Lets go see some of my driving skills" and they go and wip donuts and link down the main road.. hahaha idiots.. Well done and good luck!
