Over here they have TopGear Australia. It is appalling!!! I liked TopGear in the UK. The presenters over here are desperately trying to be Clarkson and the rest and it is cringeworthy. They have their own Stig and "Star in a bog standard car". As everything is commercial channels over here they can't slate cars either. You can probably check some of it out on YouTube, if you are that way inclined........

I saw the end of it and thought it was good for a change, the trucks round Millbrook was great and Clarkson into brick wall did look like it hurt properly.
They said they would be driving muscle cars next week so will make a point of watching.

I recorded it but couldn't sleep last night so got up at 1am and watched it then. I had the headphones on so as not to disturb the wife so didn't realise I was laughing so loud until I went back to bed and she gave me a dig in the ribs...

well i like TG, each to there own though i guess, thought last night's was hilarious, the lorryist challenge was ace, looking forward to next weeks, although the cheeky git did say that they would be driving 'trucks' in America next week as well (while showing a clip of the new Chally)

I didn't like it at all at first.
I was used to watching a motoring magazine and not a comedy show revolving around three comedy "characters".
But it has grown on me in recent years and as long as you don't actually expect to learn anying at all useful about cars then it is a good laugh.

He was quite badly hurt when he plowed into that wall....
Footage of the trucks at around 4 mins. Clarkson hurting himself at around 6mins 50seconds.
