The latest TG Aus Mag has some behind the scene pics (without spoiling anything) but it looks like they've got some good challenges and reviews lined up. And of course, The Stig.

I've looked in several newsagents over the last couple of days and haven't been able to find the new issue yet. images/smilies/dry.gif

Yeah... I got mine from Coles this morning.

I got mine in the post last week...

Can someone show me where on http://www.sbs.com.au/topgear/ it confirms 29th of September at 7:30. I can see in the episode guide that series 2 episode 6 will be shown then.

I might be holding a party at my place to watch TG Australia, and I don't want to look like a fool if it is not on.

I can't see it on the SBS site. So its unofficial...

I hope for your sake, and indeed everyone else, that this program isn't a complete flop and it is worth watching.

I'm so nervous for the show! Hope all goes well and it does the Top Gear brand well...

I am not kidding. ^That wasn't there^ a few hours ago....

Maybe someone down at the SBS office realised this error when they checked this thread and made the change images/smilies/unsure.gif

^*whisper*It's been there for a few days.*whisper*

But I forgive you, we'll blame it on your age images/smilies/tongue.gif

Jack_WA · September 1st, 2008, 10:11 AM

I can confirm, it was taken off the site for a while, which made me think that someone put up the working date, before it was official.

If I get tickets (unlikely) I'll fly in from Perth for the filming, which I assume will be in the week before.

It was put there around midday on friday. Somebody at SBS emails me whenever important news like this is posted on the site and the email arrived around then.

SL65 · September 3rd, 2008, 03:12 AM

I read the magazine yesterday.

For those of you interested - they show a Forester, X-trail and some other softroad in a variety of conditions. So obviously some sort of comparo there. Theres also a pic of Warren driving the Maybach 57S. Cool camera car as well...

stiggie · September 3rd, 2008, 03:29 AM

Tha article mentions that the location of the test track is a closely guarded secret. images/smilies/lol.gif
