I hope you're referring to the actor, not the former PM

As for 'The Aussie Stig' not having an affiliation....I don't think that matters....but please with the last name tander I'd rather not.

Personally I'm still holding out for John Bowe or Jim Richards, to get the job. These guys can, and do, drive anything on four wheels and know what they're doing.....and since they are both retired from full time racing there should be no commitment clashes. Hell, they could even alternate every couple of weeks.

[irlewy86]

I don't think they will take on any big names (Denyer, ridge, Newman, etc.) This is the SBS.

[ibd77]

How about Will Anderson???

He isn't doing much at the moment since the Glass House got the axe, or one of the chaser boys???

[Jock260]

They should get Neil Crompton to host it. But i think channel 7 might have something to say about that.

[Green X]

As long as it is nothing like "the Car show" and the like I will be happy.

That show is ridiculous. Absolutely PATHETIC...Should be called the talk crap about cars show.

but im with you.. as long as its better than that show then it shuld all be alright. but i hope they do jeremy and the team to come here and do a few shows to kick it off and get some interest in it.

That way they could at least test the F6 and what not.

You Can Become A Host Of Top Gear Australia!!

TOP GEAR HOST NOMINATIONS

[GTP290]

if the three from top gear came here and drove our aussie cars, theyd do nothing but bag them, they drive the best cars from all over the world, clarkson also drove the fastest car in the world, the quad turbo bugatti, he was even considiring buying it on the show as he was enquiring how much it was going to cost to insure as he was driving it!! Our cars maybe be good in domestic terms, but compared to limited edition million dollar prestige super cars they wouldnt fair.

[GTP290]

He has the perfect pose for an Aussie!

[Perana]

Sounds like they are looking for people with a racing/rallying/driving background at least rather than just a celebrity.. Could well turn out half decent.

[Quasi]

Yeah, I loved their trek across America, after being given $1,000 to buy a car.

[FordFella]

I hope that this Australian TG will make the REAL one make some sort of special episode to at least acknowledge that more than one Australian car exists. Perhaps TG could feature exerpts from the Australian show time to time - hopefully SBS is persuasive.

Wouldn't say that, Look at the, VXR8 and Monaro tests they do, they hardly hate them, Just cause aussie cars don't have 50 different traction control settings, 6 gearbox modes and a engine and drive line package with more moving parts and electronics than a 777 don't mean that are bad cars. They hall A***, make noise and are Fun to drive.

[irlewy86]

There are more to Australian cars than Holden and Ford....

What about Elfin (oh they are still kinda Holden anyway, meh)

[XRUTEDAVE]

What about Eric Banna? As for crompton, no bleeding way.

[Quasi]

As previously mentioned Bana would be great, but he is just a little busy making movies in Hollywood at the moment

[xw383]

What about Russell Coight?

[fordOwner]

Nah mate ALBY MANGLES!

[Fev]

russel crowe? it would be interesting :P

just hope he doesnt play any of his music..

[fordOwner]

At least Russel Crowe has a good narrators voice. Albys is just pure droning.
But seriously back to the topic... I think Rolf Harris should be on it

Get Mark to do it, he can drive like a demon, has a heap of track records around the place so aint someone to be sneezed at, has a decent personality and top bloke to boot.
