I agree if any of the past ones are to go by....wooden acting, no flair(so as not to upset car makers), terrible camera work and god aweful puns... i think it'll be shite.

Does anyone remember drive Tv where they tried to do a top gear take off with the bald guy and the chick...total flop, there pretend stig was rubbish, all the stories were boring and the studio audience was like 5 people.

as long as glen ridge doesnt do it it'll be alright haha..

they just need someone who cant talk to the audience, not to the camera..

Also heard/read somewhere very recently that Clarkson, Hamster and May are coming out here in 2008 to do a bit of filming/shows in the eastern states (Melb, Syd and Brissy). You guys over there keep your eyes on the Press while I see if I can re-locate the article. I'm sure it even had tentative dates in it . . . sort of lost interest when I realised that the best state of all was once again being overlooked!

I can only see this as being a BAD thing.

Thinking about it..... Who would they get to host the program?

Any thoughts from anybody as to who would be a GOOD host?

I think it would almost certainly have to be somebody that is/was in the motoring industry, that already has decent credability. Someone who does not care about which manufactor'ers they offend.

Someone that wont panzy up the reviews. Actually tell us that the car is shite and handles like a large women on a moped.



I hope and pray it turns out to be awesome. Because shows like Drive Time and The Car Show were pathetic. What does Glen Ridge now about cars? Apart from they look pretty spinning as a prize on a game show!

lets see the pilot first hey..

you never know, it might just be alright..

with the right host, and no sense of "oh gosh darnit i just upset the bosses at holden" it'll be a winner..
