Top Gear/MPH coming to Australia in '08! - Page 5

dragonboy3000 · August 16th, 2008, 01:19 AM

Come to Perth! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEE! As the most isolated capital in oz we deserve to get something good!!
All too frequently does Perth get left out of things because of this. Come on Top Gear, restore my faith in that we actually DO get some good shows down here!

I think they should definitely divide their time between the states (Andy, are you listening?). It may not be feasible for everyone to travel to Sydney to see the TG3 although we all desperately want to see them. Australia is a big country - even in the next state like me (Queensland) I'm still 11 hours drive away from Sydney.

Please, please, please!

I think they'd do Melbourne before Brisbane though but we're only 10 hours from Sydney so a bit closer images/smilies/tongue.gif

Even though I now live in Melbourne, I wouldnt hesitate in flying to Sydney for it - that is the weekend before my birthday too so that would be perfect!

tone76 · August 16th, 2008, 07:28 AM

As soon as the tickets go on sale, I'm buying a couple. A mate and I have made a pact to go on a road trip to see MPH08 (09?) when it comes to Aussieland.

Aaurora, congrats on the pending stiglet. If playing classical music ante-natal is supposed to make him/her cleverer, what will going to MPH do. I bet his/her first word will be "POWAAAAH!".

Cheers

Yes please, yes please. Sydney and Melbourne get everything else

vanderwater · August 16th, 2008, 01:54 PM

I just hope all 3 of them come and it isn't based on the 3 Aust presenters

JleeLink · August 16th, 2008, 04:25 PM

Wow I didnt even know there was going to be one in Australia. After all this time at looking at that advertisement on the frontpage I thought it was a joke or some random bait.

Thank you

I have taken to calling it Hamster though (I can hear the groans from here) but Stiglet is very cute images/smilies/lol.gif

It has already sat through a copious amount of TG with me so it is indeed learning very young. I just hope I can make it to Sydney...or they bring it to the other deserving states images/smilies/tongue.gif

The entire tour will take in 15 countries over 15 months.

care to list a source?? seems to be pretty specific info....

stiggie · August 17th, 2008, 05:52 AM

My source? The nice lady who answers the "General Enquiries" emails at the MPH website. Its amazing what you can find out if you just ask.

I think the information is reliable. I'm already organising a forum meet for my own forum based on it, so clearly I have no doubts that it is accurate.

cool, its good to see that info is there if you ask for it images/smilies/smile.gif

stiggie · August 17th, 2008, 07:22 AM

When details are announced, they will be available at topgear.com/live .

aaurora · August 18th, 2008, 08:56 PM

I also emailled the MPH website and it is true - they are only going to Sydney during this trip from the 6-9 February. They are hoping to make TG Live an annual event, though, so perhaps they will do other cities then. Depending on the popularity of the Sydney shows, I guess.

stiggie · August 19th, 2008, 03:47 AM

Annual event, cool.

Did they say anything else?

aaurora · August 19th, 2008, 04:35 AM

No, not really....just the other countries they are touring. She was lovely, very friendly considering she probably gets a lot of these query emails! I only hope I can make it - or at the least they come to Brissie next time!

ambermorn · August 19th, 2008, 09:23 AM

hell yes! i was wondering what was happening with this, thought it'd been shelved...

stiggie · August 19th, 2008, 12:54 PM

I'm sure that there are a few people here who would be interested in knowing what the other countries are aaurora. images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

aaurora · August 19th, 2008, 09:43 PM

Other places include....Johannesburg, Auckland and Hong Kong before undertaking another tour in the northern hemisphere.
