They tell me it's getting better but I just don't know.

EDIT: Do you guys know when/if  they talked about it on Top Gear proper?

I'll check it out for the cast.  For me it's James May that makes Top Gear.  I even watch other shows with James May because he's so awesome.  If there is a James May style character I'd be interested in watching.  Hammond and Jeremy are still great, but my man James can take them both.

The comic relief guy on Top Gear AUS ain't NEAR as funny as James May.

Top Gear Australia isn't anywhere near as awesome as the original.  I think the problem is they try to be successful by slavishly copying the original in every way which is a hopeless task.

I must admit, it got a little better as season one went on, but if I miss an episode I really don't care (as opposed to missing Top Gear UK which is unthinkable).  Hopefully it breaks out into more its own style in future.

Here's the track: http://www.sbs.com.au/topgearaustralia/web/images/circuitmap_large.png

I think it's a cool track but their camera angles and the way they cover it needs work.  I think the camera angles they use week-to-week change which means you have a hard time getting used to it.

Do you guys know when/if  they talked about it on Top Gear proper?

They did mention it briefly in the news section of Top Gear UK once.
