Yeah theres some strange differences. In the Oz version they showed that we didnt lose the sheep, we just rounded them up in the wrong field and clarkson crashed into the pond !

shame they didnt show them getting to know the best and worst of the UK car industry. That was very good viewing.

hahah they are making them drive around Knowsley Safari park in Peel P50's

This aussie version is pretty good really.

The presenter thats been there since Series 1, Steve Pizzati (the bloke with the beard) is quite good to watch, really enjoy his features. His one in series 2 on teaching a reverand to drift was hilarious !

Really enjoyed this episode, many laughs, the somersaulting sheep was pure hilarious.

The sound of that V12 :eek:

. Just beautiful.

There was a very attractive girl in the audience whilst they were doing the news item, very distracting!

Strangely enough both of my parents said 'That looks like a girl' When the Stig came out for the rally at the end, and they hadn't heard of the rumours of it being Sabine Schmitz either

Cheap. Saw 90% of this ep in the Australian Top gear last year.

I think the new Stig is quite a good teacher; it may just be a coincidence that we've had two very fast drivers, but notice that coming out of Chicago and Hammerhead turns the celebs didn't put the power on and just spin the wheels but waited until the second half of the turn and didn't spin the wheels much.

Well, that'll be a huge blow for the half dozen people in ENGLAND who saw the AUSTRALIAN show.

Rally car Stig looked tiny compared to 599 GTO Stig who looked fairly chunky.

Vonhelmet · 30 Jan 2011 at 22:48

My wife commented the other week that new Stig looked very narrow across the shoulders, which could reinforce the sexy Sabine rumours.

mjt · 30 Jan 2011 at 22:52

New Stig is awesome. That overtake on the grass was just insane :eek:

^TANK^ · 30 Jan 2011 at 23:09

That would be pretty cool if the new stig was Sabine Schmitz.

Eliot · 30 Jan 2011 at 23:22

surely the sabine schmitz rumour can be debunked fairly easily? with her being a ringtaxi driver...

Either way i think its a mans body.. a small man, but a man

I read somewhere that the rally Stig was Ken Block..? I doubt its true but who knows...
