Aussie Top Gear Series 2

[evil_weevil]

Well, its on now, and already better than last season, and much better that the charlie cox douche has left!1

Im liking it so far!

[Duncan]

yeah james morrison is a huge improvement. i couldnt even remember the other guys name lol.

not as silly this year, they are doing much better. and its nice to see an episode of top gear that is not a repeat

[raps86]

Yeah they have made big improvements on this seson over last year. I would hate to be on that jetski.

[Yo-Yo]

I'll reserve my judgement until the season drags on, willing to give the benefit of the doubt

BUT the preview for next ep was a ford territory reversing into boxes and a commodore, thrilling

[bigslick]

I had it on for two minutes.... Uggh, that was enough.

[Col-GTSX]

miss it........... sorry (i think)

[fat-lad]

i feel sorry for topgear australia, all the 1st season got was a slaggin, give it a few seasons and it will be good, i enjoyed the 1st season as they done very well for a 1st time, topgear uk has an endless budget and there was a time where topgear uk was crap, (quentin wilson era),

sorry my 2 cents. ohh and i miss the 1st one tonight - worked back gutted.

I've got to disagree with you.

I'm not a fan of the new Trumpeter host. I never liked the Cartoonist as a host to begin with - he just way too over the top. Steve (I think that's the young fellas name) is not too bad, tries to hard sometimes. Biggest problem they have IMO is that there is no main main. TG UK clearly has Clarkson as the main host. TG AU has all 3 trying to get themselves on camera together - just doesn't work.

What really shits me is that a car show can't even get the name of a car correct. They keep referring to the Ford GT as the GT40. It is not, it's just GT. GT40's are from the 70's and were only 40"'s high. The newer GT is 43"'s tall. It's something that's not that big of a deal, but for a car show you would of thought that someone somewhere along the line would have picked it up by now!

Also they constantly refer to the show as Top Gear Australia - we all know what show we are watching and we can tell by the accents that it's not the UK version. There's no need to tell me the name of the show 5 times every episode!

I thought it was miles better than the previous season.

"I don't mind losing as long as I don't look like 2 giant condoms"

cracked me up haha

[blags]

I thought it was heaps better than season 1, funny how they dropped a car on the "what were they thinking" wall.

Some more of their OWN segments rather than Top gear UK's and we're in business.

[Hank Scorpio]

I think after a bit more time it will get better, remember when Top Gear had "Insider Trading" (ugh!), shows grow!

In saying that the show is still lacking (not knowing the anme of the Ford GT and not being able to pronounce Murcielago properly) and wheres the R35 without the speed limiter!?! And next weeks show doesn't really look wonderful.

However they got rid of the rubbish what were you thinking segment, that can only be a good thing!

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

still fails

[Mayuri Krab]

Sorry for slight off topic, but

When is this on? & what channel?

I haven't touched Free-to-air TV for years, kinda left behind in the dark...

Interested in checking it out. I liked the UK series (which I watched some episodes on internet TV).

[Hank Scorpio]

I never watch FTA either. Mondays 7:30pm SBS (Channel 104 on foxtel is where I watch it). I have it series linked even!

[Slow S13]

i did not mind it...however i dont really think you can have a race when you are in traffic and only do a max of 70kms ...might as well been driving a old citreon

[JAS-25T]

James Morrison, is way too much of a nice guy to talk shit and treat the cars bad. Although he did ok on taking the EVO X off track lol.

Still needs a main man but getting better. And I agree that teh cartoonist needs to go.

[NISMO]

Yep rub out the cartoonist!

Better than last season, but i still cringed on a regular basis.

Bet part though is someone finally taught them how to film a lap of their circuit.

Skaify was gold when he gave him the first lap time. He looked like he was about to kick him in the nads.

[frx026]

top gear australia is so gay they should have their own float at the mardi gra...

I am sure a couple of the hosts would be used to wearing ass-less chaps...

[1802NV]

Well i thought it was better than the 1st season but still needs improvement. As long as they dont copy the uk season word for word and segment for segment it should be ok but the cartoonist inst very good.

Skaife looked like he was going to kill someone if he didnt have the fastest time.

cheers rich

TGA .....its an hour of abominable boring crap interspersed with the rare bit of watchable stuff .........mostly warmed up dog turd served by 3 persons with no real car cred..........how the f**k do they pick those tosser comperes ? - its like watching the muppets (but at least the real muppets have personality) ...imo these scripted/manufactured clowns on TGA are not even original or funny.......

Depending on your taste and breadth of interest in cars and things automotive, if you want something closer to real car show on TV you watch TVS in Sydney on Tues nites (Ch 31 in Melb?) GASOLINE and Cruizing, with the anally fixated other tosser compered show, Classic Restos on Wed nites.

And Drive It from Germany on TVS on Saturdays (in Sydney) is not too bad, and gives reviews on most newly released models of Euro sports cars very soon after they hit the showrooms, plus sections on more mundane car stuff and classic cars etc but all these alternative shows are only 1/2 hr episodes - tape them if the scheduled times are inconvenient !
