Ok, which of you nerds started this thread? Was it that geek in the back row? Sit back down and take those earplugs out!..NOW Mister!!
As for Top Gear Oz version...sorry, but there can be only one!(and I'm as Aussie as they come, but its still the original for me personally!) A bit like the new TV series based in Qld., seems too much like attempts to copy the crime shows of America(again!). 
What, me, a critic???   Never!  (ok, which of you just pushed me off my soapbox???)

I know, how ridiculous, is it back on tonight? Oh, and with a school 
name like Thomas' Car, it was bound to be you who mentioned that Top 
Gear was missing Laurie/Lorry?
