Really enjoyed it (especially the cheating ) and had to laugh at the rhino scene. Can't wait till it starts as the UK one is finished until next year now.

I thought it was good and with the two new co-stars I think this might work for TG-A

i thought it was good! didnt like shane warne, hes a tosser (pun intended), and the car was...yuck!. i liked how they chose a ute for the test car. more interesting to watch people spin that!

also liked the trip although the strapping boats on is pretty old, would have liked to see trailers more... make your own trailer haha... overall pretty good, the guys wernt trying so hard which made it better.

I fully agree about taking the piss. I enjoyed the episode and it seems top gear australia is just getting better every season. Hopefully by the end of this one they will have it down good.

I thought it was good, surprised warney wasnt texting while out on the track though

Ryan they'll be 4wd'ing with caravans in an episode coming soon, cant wait to see that sh1t

they wont be as good as the original TG, but its good to see presenters that actually arent acting to be clarkson, hammond & may...

yeah, i can see your point, Brisbane_boy... but at the same time, isnt that kinda what people wanna see? if they just went and drove cars quickly around a track, nobody would watch it - they'd watch V8 supercars, etc. if they want that stuff... People want to see the little road trips/adventures that are kinda like the TGUK stuff... I wanted to see them get the whole 'you have a budget of $x, go out and buy a car to do this thingie', but they dont do that... instead they trash these immaculate looking cars that would be worth a bit...
