Top Gear's MPH team to tour Australia with rolling motor-theatre show in 2008

By MARTON PETTENDY 10 September 2007

BRACE yourself because motoring’s ambassador of political incorrectness is coming to a town near you.

That’s right, Australia is next on the agenda to play host to the UK’s successful MPH Live Motoring Theatre show hosted by the Top Gear TV show’s Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May.

Instead of a one-off Sydney show in February, as had been originally planned, a positive response from many Australian car companies has resulted in a plan to bring the popular UK-based interactive motor show to Australia’s three largest cities within the next 18 months.
Continue reading article..

Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. I'm so friggin' annoyed that there's going to be no Adelaide show. I would pay stupid amounts of money to see this! Makes me want to make one of those lame online petitions.

Sounds good, Adelaide deserved it more than Brisbane (mostly because I like Adelaide far more than Brisbane)

Hope to see them here, maybe we'll get a show here as well images/smilies/smile.gif
