Top Gear Oz RIP

Nearly everything is in here to start with.
If it's about your car, or Subaru's in general, put it in "Subaru Chat".

+1 to all of that!

I thought last night's show was pretty good. Only the older guy (the one that looks like John Farnham... does that make me old too?) seems to be trying too hard. The guy with the mo comes across a bit fake when he's doing the scripted bits but is otherwise fine IMHO. The other guy is doing alright :)

I hope they leave it on, it's getting better fairly quickly and, as stated, it's a car show! More importantly, they're not going on about how sensible or fuel efficient a car is or donning the kneepads because a manufacturer is offering eco-friendly versions...

S12E02 of the UK series was great - especially the bit where Chrylser refused to lend them a car for a segment because they wern't happy with the way they reviewed their cars... so Top Gear went out and bought one.

Can't see TG-A doing that!

Actually, from the get go I thought Warren was the best in front of the camera and mic of the three.

They probably won't get rid of Steve coz they will then have to sort someone new for the role of The Stig. Charlie has made slip a couple of times in the series little hints that Steve and The Stig are one and the same and you can see the similarity in wheel styles as well if you're sharp

Can not stand Charlie at all - The biggest Clarkson try hard I've ever seen

I don't actually mind warren or steve, it was good to see Steve's driving skills in the new STi as well, some good drifts there :D

The only episode I have liked so far was when they look the 4WD's out to the dunes (Forester, Rav 4, Patrol?) and jumped around in them that was a good episode, They need it to be more of an aussie side of things imo
