F6 UTE - Track Bound EVO III - Member 3,367 Member For: 20y 2m 8d Gender: Male Location: Strapped in and holding on Posted 10/12/05 08:20 AM Share Posted 10/12/05 08:20 AM (edited) Watching the show now. ( WAWA )I have seen it briefly b4. Has to be one of the worst shows going round on telly.I get Top Gear every week, so the fact Drive is a direct rip is plain obvious, but it lacks presenters with personality and who have 'passion' for cars. The Top Gear presenters are lucky, they have good cars to play with, all the exotics etc.Drive tries to match it, but it's a sad, sad effort.Hardly a mention on the DSC Ford have spent squillions developing, no mention of new 6spd auto, no mention of SFA. A 'Hot Lap' we don't even get to see, WTF is with that????????? " It Dried out in the arvo " do we believe them?? All he says is the seats are comfy..And what really erks me is how the bald dude pronounces 'kilowatts' F6 UTE gives Drive................................ 1 star *HAHA, just had another squiz. The Bently is from British show Fifth Gear, Top Gears' rival...... Not a bad show, better than Drive. Edited 10/12/05 08:23 AM by F6 UTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't even mention the type of transmission the car had! From the interior shots you could tell it was the new ZF, but they said nothing about it!?!?!

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

Member 440 Member For: 21y 5m 15d Location: Melbourne, Hoppers Xing Posted 10/12/05 10:54 AM Share Posted 10/12/05 10:54 AM (edited) Guys I though I was the only one who saw it glad I wasnt That guy in the Bently I am pretty sure I have seen him in one top gear episode or another before they got the Braniac guy.It didnt feel quick on the screen the Hot lap, and when he overshot the second last corner that blew a second or two, burnout at the begining didnt help either, GET IT TO THE FLOOR DAMN IT !!! Anyway the show is a direct copy of Top gear which I guess means they know what the best is and they were trying to imitate... trying .... Funny how the guy with the SAAB goes, the engine is from the Late model camira six but lucky it doesnt feel like it Crack up Edited 10/12/05 10:55 AM by MRDOHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venom XR6 Member 1,460 Member For: 21y 9m 29d Location: Geelong Victoria Posted 10/12/05 11:46 AM Share Posted 10/12/05 11:46 AM I really don't understand why they bother doing lap times, constantly going sideways is cool to see but it makes for a slow time. The XR6T was faster than the Clubbie R8 WTF, I hate to say it but in the real world the R8 would win easily. And AWD cars have a huge time advantage because they aren't going sideways on every corner. Totally useless comparison, all show no substance.
