if it is a load of plop, why is it on PAGE 2 of some paper, with warne pictured in a car and junk.... whats going on here... trying get name of paper from missus before submitting will edit in later

Maybe then channel 9 can make a spin off show because of Warne on top gear called "The Legal Department".

Each week they can get a random female from the top gear audience that wants to take action against Warne for his leering, staring or perhaps off screen groping. There'd be tons of material there. The lucky contestant wins an AVO against the bald, fat, middle-aged, follicly challenged has been who's got a bathmat stapled to his head.

I am fairly sure Warney does not fly check and training for QANTAS...... :P

if channel nine get's it...it will only be shown on foxtel.
i hope sbs can claim it..

**ebxr8240** · 21-10-2009, 05:15 PM

When will it be on?? Like F1 after late news and Get smart.. 2 hours after the race !!!

Nikked · 21-10-2009, 05:22 PM

If Top gear Goes to ch9, it will be the end. Exposed on channel that will bown down to complaints about 'hooning' 'Fuel use' and what ever...

Nikked · 21-10-2009, 05:23 PM

Is warney a good driver, or does he spin alot?

**Luke Plaizier** · 21-10-2009, 05:29 PM

They need a comedian or two on the show. It's the Comedy that makes Top Gear good to watch - the test drives or the laps themselves are really only the secondary objective. Although they do try to play on eccentricity.

Are there any Aussie comedians that like cars?

Make it funny on it's own terms and it doesn't have to be like the UK version at all. Hiring funny people should be their primary objective.

Still in neogotiations and certainly no warne.

Hot, damn! The internet lied to us!

Is this the sort of news feed that Murdoch wants us to pay for on the internet?

Pure Gold.

Nope, he flies first class only; he's heard that our stewardesses give that little bit "Extra" service.

Dude, no waaaay, Are you nuts?? Sam Newman is a ........... pot.

Banna would be the best pick, could even bring back "Poida". I'll never forget that skit he did with Lowndesy.

BA RTV V8 · 21-10-2009, 06:50 PM

How about Russel Crowe and Eric Banna

This seems to be the place that all these reports originated from:

Ah well if it goes to Ch9 at least you can down load the whole series of the latest English Top Gear from eztv watch it (ad free) before its released here and not feel bad about ripping of a Quality T.V Station.

I noticed recently South park was on channel 9. They must raiding the SBS program list at the moment. Look out for Indonesian news at 6 oclock

Pinch · 21-10-2009, 08:00 PM

After a few weeks will be shown at 11.50 pm on some weeknight as 9 will kill it with advertising. They might even bring back Steve Jacobs a la The Car Show.

I would be happy to start a collection to keep it on SBS.

The whole thing is just meh. Its the only thing I watch on TV (try finding a post of mine here when ever an ep was shown...)

I'm sure they will turn down multi million dollar movie roles for a few hundred grand hosting a crappy ch 9 "production".

I hope Top Gear stays at SBS, at least its one of their most popular shows and is treated as such. At Ch 9 it will be shuffled around later and later at night until they get sick of it and stop showing it.

Bearman · 22-10-2009, 07:30 AM

Shane warne to host Top Gear?? NOOOO!!! The guy is a complete meathead. Channel 9, please don't do it. What the hell does he know about cars?? Owning a couple of exotics does not equate to a knowledge and understanding of cars.

As others have said, get ERIC BANA!!! Failing that get an ex racer who has the technical nous, is articulate and with a screen presence. My left field choice is Larko!!

Lukeyson · 22-10-2009, 08:05 AM

Bearman, as said earlier in thread, its not true, so you are safe

tex · 22-10-2009, 08:18 AM

Personally, I cannot stand warne, I actually detest the man. He's a grot.

As was suggested earlier, just because he buys expensive metal, suitable car show presenter that does not make.

I look forward to seeing just how badly they slap another series together....

There's so many other options out there for presenters, surely??? Or are the motor racer types, Luff types etc now too scared to put their own face to such appalling dialogue and content?

It cant be any worse than the first series, as they lost me when making the adds. Just think t=what the POMS think us now as seeing those three Aussi tossers

Rodp · 22-10-2009, 01:13 PM

Seems like Channel 9 feel the series needs boganing up.

GEZZA93 · 22-10-2009, 01:28 PM

There are so many people that could host the show..

These are my thoughts who would make alright hosts: Ian Luff, Craig Lowndes, Eric Bana, Mark Skaife, Victor Bray, Roothy, Dick Johnson...so many more but you get the drift. Would be some great driving and comedy. Imagine Roothy in a supercar lmao.

I'd second Luff, Johnson and especially Bana.
