I didn't like it. In fact, I disliked it so much I changed the channel. The skinny small guy has an annoying voice and to me its just a big immitation.

Edit: Unlike the british version, these guys TRY to be funny, and it just wasn't working. The part when they're sitting down talking about the stretch hummer with dubs. "i'll pop a cap in yo ass".

One word "Cringeworthy"

Edited by dreamr33

I still reserve judgement until i have seen at least 1/2 a season..... The first three seasons of Top gear were crap IMHO

It seemed to be a bit too much of a rip off, its also a shame that next week will be bogan v bogaaan (Holden Vs Ford)...

Still give it a chance i say......................

Yeah it's like the Brit version, But really it is the same show but Australian... i thought it was alright, but like mentioned they need time to find their own way... at the moment the producers would have handed them a rough script and said read this...

not watching it again. total shit.

and didnt anyone notice how it wasnt a stock gtr. it was the haltech tuned gtr......hmmm fair or unfair advantage much

Yup. I'm not going to watch it again for another 2 years, if it doesn't flop by then they might find their niche and make it work. Otherwise I've got better things to do! (like watch the real Top Gear)

That blew

GT-R was the only highlight of the episode. The hosts are boring, and lame, and what was with opening the first show with a soft-roader comparo? Where's the sideways supercar action?

Oh look! a new Lamborghini... that we won't drive. That was crap Ray.

We already have a car show for old people... it's called The Car Show (creative name right there :nyaanyaa:) on CH9, and it sux just as bad.

Better come up with some good drives next week...

not watching it again. total shit.

yer i no ay

preaty unfair lol

beautiful skyline tho

but it will never be as good as the UK version

thats the first thing i thought of....all a bunch of puppets mimic-ing the original, even in the way they speak. Dicko look a like, choppa looka like but super punce, and that other skinny weasle, he looked so random. absolutely no aussie flair at all. thats what you get when you put out a nation wide call for real enthusiaists but opt for so called intelect. half a bogan would make the show a tad more entertaining.

I thought the main host lets call him [clarkson impersonator] was pretty ordinary. the other two call them [Hammond and May[ were not too bad. I really want to like this show so im going to give it a go over the next few weeks and see if the characters grow on me... fingers crossed!!!

and by the way is it just me or is that track the most boring track ever!?!?!?!

Hated it.

Hosts dont fit, especially not when they are trying to emulate the original show.

The guy who did the shark stuff just irritates me.

That track is the most baron and and pointless piece of tarmac in australia, is it an old go kart track!?

I sincerly doubt that it will go past the 8 episode contract. But then again, they voted bush in again so who knows these days

I would make a judgment on the track, but I HARDLY SAW IT

The footage of the cars doing their hot lap on the track was appauling. All you saw was the inside of the car + stig, then car on a straight, then car + stig again, then straight again. I couldnt really make out what the track looked like.

Also, there were a couple scenes of the Porsche where they blurred in and out on the bumper of the car, did anyone's eyes get all funny? who needs to blur in and out of a bumper 6 times straight! haha

Other than not bad, always improvements to come.

Agree with points about the Lambo + "cap in yo ass" (cringe worthy indeed)

I'm still going to watch it though haha i still have faith in it

I sincerly doubt that it will go past the 8 episode contract. But then again, they voted bush in again so who knows these days

and what do 50 million retarded Americans re-electing a fellow retard president out of sympathy have to do with Australian produced television? :D

    • That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now
    • As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view. 
    • I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways. 
    • Holy hell! That is absolutely stunning! Great work!!!
    • It does when you start adding everything else in. But it's not just compute. It's the logic. Getting your timing right (I'm not meaning ignition timing for the engine). Making sure of your memory mappings, seeing your interrupts. Microcontroller devices only have so much capacity. For the most part, you want all those timers and interrupts in use on your engine control, which means you're left with less than ideal methods for timing and management of other control functions.   Let's put it this way, my job is all about building custom hardware, that goes into cars, and integrates with them. We're also waiting on a media confirmation from SpaceX too fora world first we've just completed with them in NZ too. It's not just the little toys I play with. But you know, you can think and believe what you want.
