ugh still average...

my wife who happily watches UK TG was like WTF is this crap... I said Aus TG and she watched 5 minutes then went and got her book to read

the best thing about UK TG is even non car people can watch it and enjoy it... even my mum watches it FFS... Aus TG is boring in comparison... I mean nobody wants to hear an interview with Mark Skaife... he has the personality of cardboard (great driver though)

Was still average. Worth seeing skaife's face though, danm that was funny what an arrogant kent, so serious behind the wheel, didnt look like he was doing that well without his big $$$$ race team.

I will try one more episode, if still crap then wont watch no more.

And agree to an above statement, TG UK can be watched by non car people, both my parents and grandma enjoy it!!

i really really didnt like it still. can they just have one guy to promote the next segment other than all 3, it reminds me of an awards show where each one says a little bit then the next guy says something then the next guy, its stupid.

also that was the worst interview ever with skaife each question was so similar to the last it was pointless.

i think they should just talk about the cars and stop with the incredibly lame jokes and stop reading what they are saying its way to obvious, they really need to relax more and say whats on there mind, but that still wont change much they need 3 new hosts and have a competition where we choose the hosts. blood, sweat and gears is better than this so is fith gear.

everyone should get foxtel the discovery channel has way better car shows on, i love them. :P

Better improvement then the 1st season! Glad they got rid of the other host and brought James Morrison in :P

I enjoyed the first episode of the new season, its slowly becoming more of an aussie feel rather then the UK feel!

I know there is only 8 episodes this season, so i guess we will see how the other 7 go before i make a final judgement on it!

Episode 3 should be go, i was at the filming and enjoyed it :D

that james morrison has less charisma than charlie cox! warren is crappy with interviews and did an equally bad job at commentating the star lap. that reversing challenge would have managed to be cool and funny if the UK guys did it, but the aussie guys said almost nothing of any value the whole time and wrecked it.

none of them have any personality!!

Its still really really bad lol i went as far as sending an email to SBS telling them to just give up and leave it alone. How many road tests do holden and ford need?? lol will be interesting to read there reply lol :(

Thank god for Tivo, i just record it and fast forward whenever

i see Warren with his sketch pad.

And they should've blasted Walkinshaw for putting those stupid rims on that

nugget, not praise them for swapping the wheels to get a better lap.

Utterly painful, a massive waste of money.

Rapport shouldn't be assumed with the characters. It needs to be earned. It's painful to watch. For example, last night when they asked the bloke with the massive nose as a 007 fan which car he would have, the Maserati or the Aston. They assume you think he is somebody. "There you are folks, you heard it here first" said afterwards. I stopped watching at that point.

I totally agree. I watched about half the episode aswell, I still only know one presenters name (Morisson) simply because of his musical exploits (I will admit that guy drew a mean picture though!). Compare that to when Top Gear UK first brought in James May, they eased him into it and intriouced him to the audience to create a rapport. I still remember one of his first segments (if not his first) where he did a review on his own Bentley and the audience was able to see what he was all about.

Top Gear Australia seems to not know exactly what it wants to do IMO.

For me watching I was thinking "WTF, they may as well ask any idiot in the street than this bloke, why should I care about his opinion" only to have them exclaim "There you go folks, you heard it here first" as if it was a revelation!

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
