love ke70 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 but thats a good vehicle review, a genuine compare and contrast. which as i understand is how top gear started. but theyve now moved onto the new format of entertainment, which is what top gear australia is aiming to copy. they are neither informative or highly entertaining, which is the problem... they have the format to work with, but not the personalities to make it work.

Felix Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Yea, it is just crap. They should have had an impromptu demo derby or something... would have been more entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Yea, it is just crap. They should have had an impromptu demo derby or something... would have been more entertaining. I agree, but with KE1x models :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Protagonist Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 ruined 3 perfectly good classic cars. As opposed to the British version, which treat the cars they buy with the utmost respect and care..... Like that one episode where Jeremy buys a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow and proceeds to drive it into a public swimming pool trying to channel Keith Moon.

Crowie55 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Just going put this out there... I believe the corolla won. Back to the subject of the show, It's so scripted the hosts have an akwardness when they speak. Does my head in, put some more 2 and a half men on, I could watch repeats of that all day and still be entertained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunk81us Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 damn straight the corolla won! would have got up that hill that they "accidentally" went the wrong way to get to.. and if the knob driving it had any clue whatsoever and let it rev it's ring out, it would have smashed them in that drag race too ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy-d Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Top Gear Australia,what a crock,was unimpressed the first episode but thought I would give it a second chance,shouldn't have bothered. I guess as a franchise of the UK version they are really required to follow the format pretty close but these guys are just pathetic,awkward and you just have to wonder how much they really do know about cars. Their test track for the guest drivers time trial is really poorly designed and doing it in a ute (as aussie as it may be) is just stupid.Love the UK version,watch it whenever I can,re-runs and all,lets hope thatt if they are going to keep it up they get their act together otherwise it wont last long..

love ke70 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 i honestly think it wasnt that bad last night, yes it has not got the hilarity of the english one,but it was still amusing and there was some entertainment value, the english one after, a rerun non the less, was hardly any more exciting really...

frasian Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 top gear australia is a poor excuse for topgear its so unintertaining and shit, not to mention the cars they do :bash: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostalgia Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) You know what? I've been a TopGear fan for years now, and I get excited to wait for TopGear Australia! I don't think the acting is too bad, and even if it is, surely if you're as much of a car fan (or top gear fan) as I am you can see past that! As with heaps of shows and movies these days! I LOVE the fact that my favourite show ever is being given the chance to be Australian! And even if it's not perfect, when it is, what could be better!! And yes I do agree with The overrated KE70, selling them off and donating the money to charity is a great idea! And seeing cars we love get trashed and make us angry gives us something to be angry and laugh about in the future! Just seeing the dent in the drivers door in the 25 was heartbreaking, but I love that! I'm on the edge of my seat the whole time going "Don't scratch it. Don't scratch it!!!" "Eating pies, that's fun. Going to the pub, that's fun. Digging out a car, that's not fun." I had a chuckle! Did you see the Rolla pull out the HQ? ROLLA POWA XD If you don't like it, don't watch it and spare us reading your b*tching. Peace, Toby.
