Jason on the rare occasions you do post it's gold.

I though Steve and Warren would have been better on their own. Charlie looked very uncomfortable. Very little eye contact with the camera and too scripted. I'd watch it to see decent comments on CARS but not the general boyhood rubbish that infects the UK version. Clarkson would be ok if his ego was deceased. At least James May has a brain and I have enjoyed his other series which has been quite informative. Just bought the latest Top Gear Australia, but think probably for the last time, too much time smashing up old cars - can't see the point. Only compensation is that it is better that the Car(advertising) Show and mildly less infuriating than the dreadful coverage given to Carrera Cup (18 mins advertising, 12 minutes racing - time it I have)

"The Stig" Erwin in his Aussie TG driving suit - ready to do some laps around Alex's test pool.

..........................and who said I'm slow.

[ESP911]

Yeah but at least everyone gets to refer to you as 'Captain'.

i'm assuming (hoping) that was a swimming gag?!

Anything has got to be better than that hair waving git!

I met Morrison at a start control whilst spectating. We chatted for about 5 mins about the WRC. He's a very handy driver and I hope good for the sport. We ended up talking so long he missed the start by a few seconds when he said "i'd better go!".

I hope he doesn't come over as a bit of a tosser though

[alexwebster]

Well that I think is a good thing - Cox going that is!

I am still yet to believe that they are meshing, as the banter is all staged.

Morrison, great trumpet player, but don't know about presenting, he can come across as a tosser, you are right Tiger.

Still can't believe that they have signed them up to do a 2nd season!

Maybe with the financial crisis, they will be reporting about more Getz's than Gallardo's, and more Punto's than Porsche's!

Will now give them another chance next season to take my hour of concentration. Brett, you are still the choice though buddy!

[Fishcop]

Actually I think Morrison will be quite good... they should have chased Eric Bana

Does Andrew Denton like cars
