The statistics don't lie (well, Wikipedia might, but if it is on the 'Net it must be true, right?)

Who do you recon the Aussie Stig is?
My bet is one of the Kelly boys.. He gives it away by his seating position... and the fact he is about 4' tall...

I can't think of any worse ways to kill off brain cells than watching this program.

True.... I can actually follow the whole thing while being on the computer..... And according to she I am the worst multi-tasker in the world!

A pale and limp imitation of the original. It's hard to see what the point is, other than providing exposure for makes of vehicles only found in Australia.

Its got my vote for a load of shit as well

Yes it does seem really limp wristed.

There's little originality and it looks like a 1970s version (apart from the cars).

Rubbish innit.Bit like looking at Samantha Fox's tits then Nicole Kidmans.

Pointless shite... It'd be worth watching if they ditched all the top gear stuff and did it their own way.... I think Top Gear's days are numbered.

**Swampdonkey** · 12th January 2010, 20:53

shite is right !! bring back Clarkson...

**zahria** · 12th January 2010, 20:54

Yeah it is a pretty poor blatant rip off.
But, there is something strangely compelling... to either see if it improves, or gets worse.

I watched an episode of the "New" British Top Gear season 2 on UK TV the other night.... It was the first episode... and boy was it slow and painful!

TG obviously improved with age, so... Well, na, it's made in Ozzie, so will never be good....
