Elfenstar 3rd Gear October 10, 2008 Share October 10, 2008 Anyone caught the newest Top Gear Australia? From left to right: Charlie Cox, Warren Brown and Steve Pizzati brief overview of the presenters: Warren Brown, cartoonist and motoring columnist for The Daily Telegraph Charlie Cox, MotoGP commentator for the BBC, and a former radio presenter and ex-racing driver Steve Pizzati, advanced driving instructor, race driver and freelance motoring journalist I think it sucks BIG TIME.... and its making a big ridicule of the original show itself. i just dont know where to start.... but heck here goes: 1) the presenters arent the bit funny 2) hate their accent... 3) what the hell was with dumping the car as shark bait? is this even a car show ? 4) The celebrities can even get a better track time than "The Stig" 5) Whats the layout of the track? it feels like its just 3 corners and all straights 6) Steve bumped his head coming out of the Ford GT??? 7) Charlie spun out on the Ford GT a couple of times? 8) Charlie looked absolutely scared pushing the Ford GT to its "max" speed. Some race driver.. 9) Ok give them a bit of teething problems but the 2nd episode was rubbish too. 10) look at the crowd on the 1st episode.. and the tiny "gathering" at the 2nd. obviously even the Ozzies thought it was crap. 11) And whats with Steve suggesting to rename the Stig to Stiggo ? WTFBBQ? I can answer 11!!! The aussies like to add an "o" to everything, e.g. arvo for afternoon, steveo for steve, etc. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flipflop 1st Gear October 10, 2008 Share October 10, 2008 That's true also.. ADs here can't take jokes for nuts...even local magazines have to sugar-coat their car reviews.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoonz 4th Gear October 10, 2008 Share October 10, 2008 Yeah... Later endless emails and complains to Meedearkok ah... The budget will definately not cover the kind of stunts the original TG pulls regularly... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_blade Turbocharged October 10, 2008 Share October 10, 2008 (edited) as the title suggested, it's for Australia.. international audience are expected to watch top gear (UK) so it's natural for them to use their own lingo. ....to let's cut top gear Australia a break , sit back and enjoy the show , while we wait for the season 12 of top gear to return on nov 2 Agree. TG Aust is for Australians. In fact TG UK is also for the brits especially the news part. They have a edited version for the international market...no talks on local politics...just on cars.

Silver_blade Turbocharged October 10, 2008 Share October 10, 2008 . Also don't know if the ADs here can take the kind of criticisms or it'll be toned down... Somehow IMHO that this show won't work here... Totally agree. we used to have a motor tv show...but it was so-so compared to TG or even 5th gear.

Typhoonz 4th Gear October 10, 2008 Share October 10, 2008 Motor shows won't work here lah... No sponsor... The TV station won't dare to take the rap for any stunts or comments...
