I reckon they improved dramatically, they dropped the whole british act, and well, I personally liked the Holden vs ford part, even if all they were doing was warming the tyres up

only seen the first one. As above, tried too hard. And... while im sure that clarckson and co are scripted the interesting stuff is when it goes off cilter and may, hammond and clarckson just chat. That's when it gets worth watching, and unfortunately, didn't get any of that here.

i liked it...i didnt see the first one...i mean they are a bit lame...but because it is scripted its gonna be hard for them to change what needs to be said...they obvisouly do have word for word writen down for them and they practise it for a week straight haha what they need to do is be given few key words and not make a script and go free flowing way...whom cares if theres more bloopers and so on but it will be more natural and more like the UK version that we have all known to grow and love...

Top Gear OZ ep3.
Top Gear Australia Episode 3.
I loved it. Way better than 1 and 2. The $500 paddock basher challenge was funny. And wasn't that BMW just stupid? Ryan |

Yeah, much better - they're a lot more comfortable now and it shows. Pizzati as a reviewer i quite enjoyed. And i recognised the Dandenongs in the X6 feature - i was surprised they were down in Melbourne.
The big plus for me was that i didn't want to punch Charlie Cox in the face at the end of the episode!

I need to watch the episode tonight.. But of the little pieces that I saw as I floated past the computer it looks good!
That door on the camry was a setup, but still entertaining! I've merged the two threads together and stickified it as we don't need multiples of the same every week.. So please keep your discussion on TG:A to this thread. Cheers Adz.

Yeh show is getting much better, I'm gonna go against everyone and say the BMW X9 was pretty awesome looking, if you could lower it more, black, DAMN.
And the reverse camera looked awesome, wonder if you could get used to it... Pimping material fo sure.

with a camera you cover this region if i designed a car i wouldnt use mirrors.. they are ugly anyway. id havetiny cameras in the door pillars or in the doors them selfs with a image being projected either on to the windsheild, kinda like a HUD, or a small screen on either side of the instrument cluster |
