I’ve become addicted to top gear, and I’m just wondering if anyone knows which episodes feature Aussie cars! I currently have 2 episodes with the monaro
The first one is on the 24/10/2004 and shows the guys driving it on the beach The second one is on the 7/8/2005 with the R1 drifter guys driving it! I think a few years ago I saw another episode showing the monaro and Jeremy turns on the traction control and then a “aussie” tape plays bagging him for having it on! Does anyone know which episode this one is, and if there are any other Aussie car episodes out their! Thanks! P.S I hope all goes well and they can continue the great work and maybe sample some more aussie might! |

Whilst I don't have that episode, or even know what one it is, I do have that review of the Monaro. Its the one where he races a jag in the end, right?
Its about 70meg if you want me to email it to you |

I think they only tend to review what they can drive in the UK or Europe.
We wont see any F6s or GTs on that show for quite some time if at all.

Yeh mate there the only 2 aussie cars they reviewed, they will never review the GT or f6 as it will never be a UK or Europe car.. Oh wait in saying that they did review the new ford focus ST which in AUS is the Focus XR5 turbo i think and that episode is on season 7 episode 3. That episode also has the zonda/Ford GT/F430 i think it is. mad ep.

Thats disappointing. I would love to see a F6 strech the skin on his face out. Ah well. :(

The only aussie cars I have seen on there, are the Monaro which has been mentioned and a mid 90's GTS that raced an escort.
I posted the video of the GTS on here somewhere. The GTS got whooped lol |

Here's an episode which has a VP Commodore!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=yADmpA1XFvw Okay, so they call it Vauxhall Carlton, but its the same car with different lights. Hammond is using it to find out what's the best way to escape from a car when it's sinking in water. |

i remember seeing a uk car show, might have been top gear not too sure, where they actually reviewed an AUIII XR8. it was a private import that an owner had in the UK. It wasnt Clarkson i know that, i think it was the guy who used to host top gear before him.
