Top Gear Australia (not really)

MikeW1975 · January 23rd, 2009, 5:14 AM

It just occured to me that the Top Gear Australia website should be renamed to Top Gear UK (Australia).

It takes the Top Gear UK site, adds a tiny amount of aussie content and all the TV stuff is based on the current Top Gear (UK) episode/series that is on SBS at the moment. It's not really Top Gear Australia at all.

They really need to sort out the relationship between ACP Magazines and SBS so that the magazine, website and TV series are aligned/linked in even just a small way. I don't think it helps Top Gear Australia the TV show to get no coverage in either the Top Gear Australia magazine or Top Gear Australia website which both show Top Gear UK stuff.

Sorry, it's just annoying me and I had to get it out on a Friday afternoon.

I'm with you, Mike. It's confusing when you read the Australian Top Gear mag/website and there's not a single mention of the TV show. It would be a good promo outlet to have them all linked together. It is kind of strange, like they're pretending it doesn't exist...it's not that bad!
