Did anyone watch the Top Gear special last night? Please don't spoil it for me (I recorded it on Foxtel as I was out at the time), but how did you guys find it? Good, bad....ugly? Just curious...


Same as always.

The best cars are the ones that go the most sideways.

At least Shane Jacobson brought some humor to the show.

If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

Thats what TG AU severely lacked - humour. They tried waaaay too hard and it wasn't funny so much as cringe-worthy. I'll reserve my judgment until I see this latest special but I don't hold out much hope.

Some things cannot be recreated. I am completely over Clarkson, he tried to reign in the God complex that he was having but it seems to have ballooned back out to full blown self aggrandising dribble. Last night was a decidedly desperate attempt to legitimise the TGAUS brand within the minds of the TGUK faithful.

I think Shane was funny, I think he IS funny, but the awkward fully scripted style of show that TG is does not suit him.

What we've seen is the big wheel turning.

That is indeed an LM002 mate. Beast of a thing. Still not pretty. Still doesn't have to be.

Who the fuck chooses a Sprite? An MGB? The E-type, no dramas. I got you. Sweet car. But a fucking Sprite? No diss to Morgan, but if you have the pick of the entire Austin line up, how the hell are you choosing a Sprite? Same goes with the MG, how the fuck are you going to take an MGB over and MGA? These guys are terrible. Their choices were shocking.
