OZ Top Gear put me to sleep!
September 29th 2008 11:02
It came, I saw, it sent me to sleep!
Top Gear Australia has arrived and I have to admit the best comments of the 25 minutes or so that I did see, came not from anyone on the show but from Mrs Autoloud, who declared “ This isn’t as good as the other version!” and “I don’t like him!” Charlie Cox might be a nice man and hopefully he wont take this personally but there is a message in this I’m sure.
I know it was the first episode but it all felt a bit too “try hard” for me.
4x4 to the sand, tick that box, Porsche to Tasmania, Mmmm, maybe Porsche to the top end would have made more sense!
Stig was disappointing, but then again on that track I am not surprised, surely SBS could have done a deal with Eastern Creek or Wakefield Park near Goulburn to really show what the cars could do.
A minor point here, the Luxury Car Tax arrived in 1989 not 1979! Research is wonderful thing if used correctly!
The “What were they thinking!” segment is probably where the Aussie version will end up! I miss Clarkson, Captain Slow and Hamster already!
