gregor Member 459 Member For: 16y 6m 8d Posted 28/09/10 09:47 PM Author Share Posted 28/09/10 09:47 PM Shane Jacobson is great but those other guys need the boot!The bit about the Isle of Man was boring as batpoo. Had that been UK Top Gear I think the corners and associated footage would have been far more entertainingI think it was largely due to the rain. Remember these guys are in borrowed cars worth a lot of money. Stacking it would probably cost them a good chunk of their budget and reduce their chances of getting anything else good on the show. I watched the episode recently where the UK guys went to the same spot and because it rained you didnt much action either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't trying as hard as they were to be the same as TGUK. They will never match the original but they have the opportunity to be just as entertaining. I think these three guys work better together than the other combinations we have had. They have some chemistry and once they settle in I think it might be ok. How off-tap was the Ford Transit with the TT XJ220 motor!In regards to next week - the UK season is finished already, so it will have to be the OZ verson.

I watched the episode recently where the UK guys went to the same spot and because it rained you didnt much action either.But the problem is that viewers WANT to see this stuff. Saw 5 seconds of footage from Kenny but the others talk about how its fast and fun yet the viewers simply didnt see any evidence of that.That said, I dont know about you guys but I have every season of TGUK and the first 4 or 5 are ordinary at best so these things do take work!

MiKa Donating Members 4,243 Member For: 18y 6m 8d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne, VIC Posted 29/09/10 06:03 AM Share Posted 29/09/10 06:03 AM I liked it... BUT, when they put the mesh on the car was all good, but then when they drove thru the monkey part and the monkey's raped that car, and the other 2 were like "hahha they are ripping the mesh of hahha" you could clearly see that they later put in nuts or somesh*t to bait the monkeys.. Its these cheap attempts at getting laughs that put me off.. If the other two had pranked the guy driving the mesh car that would have been different... TGUK would have done it as a prank to cap slow and would have been hilarious... The guys need to let the funny come naturally, and this is where 'Kenny' comes in, I thought he was great...Also when they showed us whats coming up in the season, not 1 Ford was to be seen...
