Australian version of Top Gear
As I had suspected is lame.
Australians are not as funny as Brits, even my OH admits this and he is Aussie.
Anyone else watched it tonight?

Which is better Holden or Ford?
Who cares....I can't barely tell a Commodore and a Falcon apart.

Boycotting it too - for the same reason I didn't go to see the remakes of Get Carter and The Italian Job.

Re: Australian version of Top Gear
I gave it a go but can honestly say in typical Aussie fashion it was a serious letdown.
The presenters...whoever they were were lumps of wood,trying to be like the three UK guys,the articles were trying too hard to match the UK also.
I'm not surprised that it was crap,but wait we've got a Holden(?) V a Ford next week,I'll have seven sleepless nights in anticipation for that little ripper!!??!!.
For crying out loud this is such a boring place...Roll on the 13 of Nov and were out of this desolate hole.
