*waits for said link*

The 3 dudes are complete asshats you know.

Skimming through the entries i only found one dude i thought would be a good bet for the show and he didnt make it.

..*sigh*

*turn on HD to watch the real guys at work on Topgear UK*

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

the free trade agreement between both nations clearly dictates that we need to pick up our game in the retard to sane person ratio deficiency. therefore I postulate that this show has been pieced together to bring us in sync with our gun toting - anti abortion - maccers loving brotheren.

Yeah, it was shit... But I'm going to watch it anyway cause I WANT to like it...

I think they just expected us to believe that they had taken off where the last top gear left off.

They said that the stig was over from the UK, not that he was Australian.

Not nearly enough information. The track wasn't shown, stig wasn't introduced...

The maybach sector was absolutely shit... HUGE waste of time and money...

They only spoke about the air intakes on the lambo... woot, like we can't all figure that out for ourselves...

Paulie from Fat Pizza should have been in there...

I also think that the people that would have watched this, wouldn't have given a shit about those 3 cars... except the snow part was cool :D

I'm going to give it a few weeks before I write it off completely...

I changed channel after not even driving the lambo. I agree with everyone saying they are just trying to be like the UK guys too much. For f**ksakes the set is identical to the UK topgear!!! Cant aussies ever think of orignal shit themselves... forever copying shows from US and UK.

I saw a picture of the STIG hanging up... please dont tell me they have a STIG here wearing the same outfit and acting the same??

Is this shitty show totally replacing the UK show or will we still see it again on SBS? I always look foward to monday nights... not anymore! Might give it another chance next week otherwise its border security and the force for me from now on.

Yes the stig is wearing same helmet..same suit...everything is the same. To me he seemed REALLY slow? Or is that just me? The track sucked...maybe thats why he seemed slow.

The "clarkson" impersonator was crap. He was definitely trying too hard. The little short guy annoys me because he says nissan funny...he says...niss-anne...idiot!!

The guy with the beard is alright..even tho i don't think he really said much..he was trying too hard when he did.

and wtf is the "What were they thinking?" wall? Thats the one thing they came up with for themselves and its the stupidest thing i've ever heard...its just the "uncool" section of the UK's cool wall.

They don't drive the cars hard enough...i didn't see one ounce of tyre smoke coming from the carerra or anything... :D

GTR was undoubtedly the highlight of the show....even if it was the Haltech one...oh and one other highlight was when the short guy was driving through the snow in the x-trail and he said something about trying a scando flick...

I really want to like this show....but its not going to be easy if they keep this up

Utter crap.

All 3 of the hosts shit me to tears, thank god south park was on after which made my night!!!

I'll keep watching it, but will have a cd in the background so I dont have to listen to them, oh, and that old bloke, he reminds me of the inflatable waving arm guy from family guy, the old bloke couldnt stop doing arm/hand movements when talking

argh.

Good grief... I SO want to like this show and for it to succeed, but I have a bad feeling.

1. The hosts were obviously told to try and incite some excitement into the show, and seemed so pumped up, talking over the top of eachother, talking too bloody much! Look at the UK version, sometimes a pause says more than ranting and raving..... Steve Pizzati.... you raised my blood pressure and gave me a tensiopn headache! Fark!

2. One of the highlights of UK Top Gear is the awesome cinematography.... helicpotors, super-high speed camera slowed to show water droplets suspended from a tyre... that kinda thing. Obviously the SBS budget doesn't run to that kinda stuff, so all we get is a few out of focus Porsche shots :D

3. The track is appalling, a motorkhana type shopping centre crap... oh God, just crap.

4. "The Stig" doesn't look at all comfortable driving, check his hand position and grip on the wheel amongst other things..... wasn't even using a good line most of the time!

5. The trainspotters amongst us would have all seen the inside shot of the GTR wasn't in fact the inside of a GTR...... attention to detail is KING.

6. Agree on Maybach.... wast of time and resources!

I'm going to give it a chance, they'll need time to gell, but everyone involved will need to pick up their act for sure!

did anyone record a copy of it?

I attempted it, but my recorder said "Get the fu(k out of here!"

The track was by far the most dissapointing part. There are more than enough 1 minute-ish tracks in oz and they come up with that crap cause the UK use an air field. What rubbish. Sad part is that nothings gonna change cause the episodes are pre recorded of course.

Oh well, my wife will be happy. She can watch Idol next week.

    • A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!
    • I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
    • From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.
    • Good news. So it went up to 16.2 volts as per the manual then dropped to 13.6v where it maintains that voltage. The sizzling sound stopped after that. All is looking ok. Car starts up same as usual.
    • As strange as this sounds (as they are fixed back), my Bride Xero CS seats are the most comfortable seats I've used.  I vote go genuine.  The only downside I've found is on very long drives, you can't reposition your body while driving. So even though its comfy, being locked in the same position eventually becomes uncomfortable. I find myself stopping every 3 or so hours to stretch my legs on long drives.
