Next Monday they will air the episode where the Stig gets the de-restricted R35 to go around........

PS: Worst episode ever tonight........

[Johnny]

+1 for bad show, only good part was the 370z review.

I'm in the audience for next weeks episode... I'm not going to spoil it for anyone with results.

They do have an R33 GTR and a Porsche GT3 on the set though.

[STYLN]

having not watched any prior eps last nite didnt get me off on the right foot. however all was redeemed when i saw the stig will be fanging the r35 next week so im eagerly awaiting that ep.

they said unlimited r35 does that mean the mines one??? it looked white so im assuming here...

on a side note i spotted my first r35 on sunday at heatherbrae just north of newi, silver and slick she took my eyes for an extended glance for sure!!!!!!!!!!

i assume it would just be a normal oz spec GTR, so I would expect it to be slightly faster than the one they had, only because of the limiter, but stories I hear are the Jap spec cars carry a little more power (like the original one they took around) so I think the difference won't be amazing.

maybe they're not allowed to review cars anymore after last year's damage

[ashneel]

its top gear australia. apart from testing comonwhores and fords what else are they gonna test? a camary?

that show is a waste. they cant even pronounce Murciélago. and the dude kept trying to pronounce it and he still couldnt say it. wanted to punch him in the face.

top gear oz fails

[skins]

Yes. OZ top gear is extremely bad. They should have stopped when they came up with the idea for the show. Then when they did that burnt the results and shot the producers.

[Munro]

Yep. I second that. I cant believe I even sent in an application to be a presenter. I think I would have shot everyone too & then myself for being involved..... bloody hopeless. I have only watch 2 episodes & even then they were taped so I could fast forward thru 90%.

Didnt someone already post the outcome (of the Top Gear Oz unrestricted GTR test)? Suffice to say VERY close to GT2 time.

[GTSR22]

my problem with the show is they have two people on there with no people skills, and have no idea how to make the show entertaining.

they shoudve got someone like grant denyer and two other funny car nuts to do the show.

Agreed, Grant Denyer would have been great. current line up is sh!te

[Godcla]

5th Gear will also have new episodes airing end of next month on Lifestyle Channel......

Grant Denyer !???!! We don't want to turn it into Top Gear's got talent or Dancing with the "STIG".... Or do we ? Hmmm

Try thinking of a decent driver that can actually present a show. The current guys are just hopeless. Maybe one of the drift guys like Leighton Fine or Luke Fink to back him up. They need a genuine personality not some half baked has beens or never was's

[cosmic starz]

+ to all above

if you want to try to force some improvement you better email the advertisers who sponsor the show telling them you won't buy their products because they support it, send in petitions to SBS and other media outlets etc etc

however I think it here to stay because its not a real car show its lowest common denominator mass entertainment - look at the audience - lol and rofl

so if all else fails - use the ff button on your vcr by-pass all the advts and crap and justwatch the least mediocre part, the car test segment if its a car worth checking out - so you only have to endure 3-4 minutes in lieu of 60

I agree 100percent with that they need some decent drivers that can actually host a show too.

[Mr_GaZZa]

YUKK, the 370z is hell ugly car.. well on the outside anyways!! its not even noticably faster then the 350z too...

So i aint to sure who'd want to buy this $75,000 car

and + 1 to what ash said... top gear australia is completely stupid, what market do we have here... considering its all commonhores and falcs!!! the Uk edition rules

[Godcla]

Maybe it's just me....but the new 1.07 Lap time would not have been matched by the 500hp rear wheel drive GT2 in the same conditions the GTR

had on tonight's show......looked very dusty/dirty track.......
