Default Top Gear Australia

Someone sent me a link to an episode of Top Gear Australia:

Quite surreal - it's like you've woken up in a parallel world where everything is the same but slightly different - especially when The Stig is introduced.

Looks pretty good though.

I tried watching an episode of TG Australia, it was painful to watch. The presenters had no personality, I was only able to watch for 15 minutes before falling asleep.

They also had Top Gear Russia, which was also exact the same copy. They made a total of 15 episodes. The first 7 episodes pretty much sucked - it was obviously that the scrip was directly and poorly translated to Russian from English, some phrases just hurt my ears, and the humor was bad. But starting with Episode 8, it rocked! Unfortunately the show must've not caught up with sponsors, so they discontinued it

My favorite review they did was of this car - BMW 6 series converted into Volga



Now they are making Top Gear USA, which is going to be another knock off. I doubt it will compare to the real Top Gear.
