There's currently a Ford GT40 burnin' rubber on the TopGear track here at Camden Airport. (Wot a noise !!!!!!!)..
There was a few Mazda running around on Tuesday.
I think the TRD Supercahrged Hilux is due next week- probably use the 'OffRoad' bit at Oran Park.
Anyhow- should I let the cat out of the bag...
Aussie Stig = Neal Bates !!!

Awesome! love Top Gear, looking forward to the Aussie version airing, hope it doesnt become another "Drive" type program like the one Glen Ridge used to host.

I don't want to sound negative ... but I really don't think it is show that can be duplicated, personally, I think it a shame that they are trying to.

I tend to agree with shaker , its like movie sequels and such -- the next version just never cuts it .....


lets hope they break the rule this time

So that's what's sending our fuel prices thru the roof!!!
Was it a real GT40 or one of those recent replicas?

After watching the Stig in last weeks show, I don't think we have a 'Stig'!

Some say he cut his teeth on an F40 Landcruiser.
Others say he raced a Nissan Patrol with their Le Mans team.

All we know is ...........he's called........the STIG
