They really should have given me a gig - at least I would have been funny!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raging Member 348 Member For: 16y 3m 23d Gender: Male Location: Central Qld Posted 07/10/08 04:03 AM Share Posted 07/10/08 04:03 AM The second episode was definitely a step up from the first one, but a step in the right direction? Don't think so. Sitting on the fence is a load of crap, the test between the F6 and the R8 should be done properly, like it would be on the streets. Stall them up, do what you have to do to get them moving. Not just sit there and put the foot down. A mate of mine has an R8, and I launched both my BFII F6 and FG XR6T beside it, and there was bugger all in it.On saying that though, the GT40 has always been a favourite of mine, I tried to get a drive of one while I was over in the states in June with a mob that lets you drive 6-7 supercars for a day, but missed out by a month to meet them in Vegas. That car is a walking hard on.The whole mine thing was a load of crap aswell, "They don't come any bigger than this, the Cat 793..." Hmmm, well I load bigger trucks with a bigger face shovel at work, so that whole test was a waste of time, though mildly amusing.I hope that Top Gear Aus picks up their act and gives the Aussies what the Aussies want, instead of just trying, and failing, to copy TGUK.

xr6demon Member 58 Member For: 20y 5m 11d Location: kingsford Posted 07/10/08 08:33 AM Share Posted 07/10/08 08:33 AM My dislike for this show is ever increasing. What a poor review of both the R8 and the F6. No performance times were given, they didn't race them around the test circuit and they claim they are just as good as each other with no clear leader. What a load of sh*t. They shouldn't have wasted their own time and everyones viewing.BennyI agree 100%. all they cared about was drifting rather than giving us a bit of info on the cars.

nimrod77 Member 15 Member For: 17y 2m 4d Posted 07/10/08 10:34 AM Share Posted 07/10/08 10:34 AM Your all a bunch of FU_KING whingers!We are all car enthusiasts - isn't it enough that we watch the show to see some interesting/different/fast/funny cars get thrashed around? Obviously not for some people. Clearly it isn’t as good as UKTG – No sh1t sherlock - they have had how many years to refine their product? Watch some of the early eps of that and it was rubbish also!!You’re all saying it should be canned? Then we have no car shows to watch… UKTG is between seasons... Let’s all watch Mr Sale of the Century road testing a Magna or those fu_king retards on South Park instead – what a great idea. While this show is not perfect I think they are on their way to satisfying our need to see - CARS! Give them a chance! That is the common denominator for us watching the show – the cars. GT40 rocked, F6 will clearly flog an R8 and lots of sideways action from both, destroying 3 brand new cars in a giant gold mine is vintage UKTG, smart hearse was a little piss take segment – also a UKTG favorite.So how about I get you all a tissue to soak up those tears and neatly press your pink dresses – I think there is a new ep of McLeod’s Daughters coming on soon, you will all be keen to see that… GOLDI agree, I think that the show needs polish and that that the presenters need to loosen up a bit and stop trying so hard to be the UK boys. If they gave some candid reviews and not "I love this car because I'm not allowed to can it otherwise the manufacturer will get the sh*ts with the show" reviews then they will have my vote. As was said, the early UK series sucked ass too. We just need to give them some time to warm up.My 2c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chich Damn You's A Sexy Chich Member 3,843 Member For: 16y 10m 18d Gender: Male Location: Your House Posted 07/10/08 10:56 AM Share Posted 07/10/08 10:56 AM As Much as I will admit the first 2 episodes haven't been the absolute best, I can only say the same thing a few have already said, and that is give it a chance, uk top gear was pretty lame to begin with, but now they have the name and respect in the game to allow the senseless nonsense and relentless bagging of certain cars, no doubt once top gear aus is 'run in' it might just be as good, if not better due to the fact that they will be testing cars which are closer to home... I agree that they should have run the red and blue round the track, but why would they wanna upset all the Expensive Daewoo lovers so early in the season...???
