Is this like the UK version of Top Gear (with Jeremy Clarkson)?
JC genuinely loves Starions, he has even had them featured more than a few times. :)

2nd episode just finished, it was somewhat better. Was at least entertaining this week. They need to stop the overacting with flailing arm movements and the likes when doing the live audience scenes. Looks way too 'put on' still.

last night was much better in my opinion.

It just seemed less rushed with more idea of what the wanted to tell us rather than the "we're doing this, buggered if I know why but we hope it's entertaining" attitude in the 1st episode

The camera work is still shit....they're trying waaaay too hard to be all artsy. And even I got a bit bored with the "warming up the tyres" bullshit and the oversteer in the ford vs holden bit.

Apparently Aussie top gear slumped in ratings....

Also Jeremy Clarkson still has that Starion he had on that show.
