The reason the UK show is so popular is the personalities on the show and not just the cars. My missus for example has no interest in cars but likes the UK version. I may be proved wrong and the show might be a success , time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 19y 1m 6d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 01/10/08 01:08 AM Share Posted 01/10/08 01:08 AM I just watched it and I thought it was really good.Those of you who think they're trying to be like the UK trio really have no fuking idea. Don't get the format of the show confused with the presenters personalities. The producers of the show would have known how hard Australia would have hit them if they'd have copied the presenters in every way.Lookin forward to next week when the F6 rapes the commonwhore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least who he works for. Did anyone read last weeks Zoo magazine. It had a little article from Zoo about Top Gear Aust and the Zoo man taking a ride in a car with the Stig. Anyways the Zoo dude had a Toyota team TRD helmet on exactly like the ones that Neal Bates and Simon Evans wear during their rallys with the mouthpiece for the mike and all.

Not sure if he's stig material on the tarmac though.... (still a million times better than me though! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 05/10/08 10:55 PM Share Posted 05/10/08 10:55 PM from memory I think Bates done a few Targa Tasmania's and done a few Bathurst too so cant be all bad on tarmac. Plus they can throw a little disception by having Neal there and have his twin brother Rick being the Stig for the day and vice-versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm goin to guess Dean Canto. He is local to the tracks they use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My GF had some photos with him when she did Miss Bartercard and he's not very tall, pretty sure the stig is a bit bigger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
