Car: Ford Focus LX Rep Power: 20 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Hi everyone, We on the TopGear forum ( http://www21.sbs.com.au/topgearforum/index.php ) provided by the Australian station that shows TopGear (SBS) are hoping to drum up some interest in the possibility of TopGear taking a trip here to Australia. Last series they went to America and it was a great episode. Were hoping they would consider a visit to Australia in the future. Who would like to see that? They could test General Motors' new "zeta" large car platform, the Commodore, also going to be sold as the Pontiac G8 and the Vauxhall VXR8. They could race each other across Australia. They could even let the Stig settle Australia's longest running debate- which is better? Holden (GM) or Ford? |

And to be honest, if you want Top Gear to visit Australia, best place to make your case is here, not on that forum. After all, the Top Gear production crew actively reads these forums. ![]()

| Wants Rick Astley's Babies | Meh, don't get me wrong, I really like Australia and I've been there for 5 weeks and enjoyed every second of it. But somehow I feel there isn't anything interesting enough there, carwise...

But carwise, they could compare the Aussie Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon with their Euro equivelents, the Vectra and the Mondeo. |

| I wouldn't mind seeing it, but more for the country than the Aussie version of Ford and GM's cars.

| Dispenses buckshot medication for all undead patients. | I would like to see an endurance race through the outback. Each presenter will get an expert and a budget. They will have to work with their expert to pick a vehicle, modify it if needed and purchase any spares or provisions they will need. The race should last at least a couple of days, if not longer.

There is so much more to Australia than the dusty bit he visited. He didn't even look at any Aussie cars in "Motorworld". |

Rep Power: 0 ![]() | Another boys own adventure to Oz could be fun, but maybe in one or two series' time. The big films are fun, but I think it may be too much novelty, what with them having to introduce a new track & etc with the next series.
