The Superclubby review was interesting and informative, although I noted what seemed like a teensy weensy bit of product placement when Pizzati mentioned that the difference between the standard Clubby and the Superclubby was 'a Golf GTI engine'.
I think that is no different from May saying 'That's a VW Lupo that has escaped from your engine' in the 10,000 quid supercar challenge, the horrible CD plug was the issue of the episode imo.
The electric car challenge was pretty good, I like how you got to see the construction. I also like how Pizzati managed to bring the 'ambitious but rubbish' spirit into that challenge.
Indeed, that was really horribly missing from the car boat they made in season one, I think both of them did a great job. I'd have liked to hear about costings (how much did the cars/batteries cost, because otherwise the $3000 limit was pointless, the scoreboard would be more useful in that segment) and have James involved (though I have a feeling they filmed parts of the series while they didn't have a third presenter).
SIABSC was a bit of a fizzer, but it wasn't for want of trying on Wazza's part. I think he was really into making it work, but Mossy wasn't a terribly engaging guest. What really turned me off is the gratuitous plug for Mossy's new album ...
The downside of the episode for me, though I'd hate to have seen Cox do the interview. Back to the top gear norm there with the SIARPC being the worst segment.
While I was a bit 'another one' at the clubsport review, he did it well, especially that stuff about the wheels. Could do with a bit less positivity, yes we realise Aussie cars are better value than the German equivalents, but they seem to always just ignore the overall quality gap, in normal traffic you'd take a slightly slower car with a more comforable interior/ride.
I'd like to see some of the non mainstream Aussie cars on TGA, the stuff made in small numbers in sheds, show we make more than big sedans.
Reversing thing was okay, seems odd that they started by showing the fancy device to add to an existing car, but then got a factory one. Should have had two of the Commodores and added the reversing camera to one, I'd imagine driving a Territory around there would be more difficult in the first place.
Overall I thought it was better than last week, hope the ratings reflect how good the show is getting. I'm really looking forward to next week.
