Fraser will be thrilled, Top Giya is going to have its own Australian
version. I wonder if it will have an Australian Stig who is friendlier
than the British one?

Anyway a country so in love with cars is definitely deserving of its
own quality motoring show, but then again it is a country that regards
this as a desirable two seater sports car: http://tinyurl.com/fe3nq

I found this thread which is full of auditions from general public
wannabe presenters. Which one do you lot like most?

Yeah, they had the three characters in one of the papers about a month
ago comparing them to the UK Top Gear guys. It's strange because
they've kind of tried to go for similar characters, but the ones that
you think are equivalent aren't e.g. the one with the long her is not
like James May and into sensible eco cars that go at 20mph, its the
other guy.

Wouldn't mind catching an episode of their version to see what its
like. Do you think there will be much difference to the UK one? E.g.
more cars that feature in the Aussie Market e.g. Mitsubishi, Toyota,
Honda, Holden, Hyundai, Daewoo, Ford, Nissan etc?

why do they have to copy it exactly? didn't they learn from the american's 
and there version of the office?
just get the best 3 people that work and keep a similar format.
still might be worth a download when it gets aired ect maybe.

I reckon it will have no budget and be a steaming pile of shite.  I predict one 
season then getting axed.

Well then. Top Gear is not a motoring show for a start.
