So what do Phers think of this ....

They don't seem to have as much individual character as the ones here (Stig excepted).

Maybe they will develop that as they go along.

Really? I'm quite enjoying it whilst ours is off-air. Better than the Australian attempt IMO. Give it a few episodes and as you get used to their personalities it's as enjoyable as the UK shows. In fact, I dare say I'm starting to enjoy it better than some of the recent UK team's efforts in recent series...

They're showing Australian Top Gear in Norway; it's woeful.

Cheers,

The drifting guy is a bit wooden, but I like the other two.

I am getting into it more now that I have gone through three episodes. But the challenges do seem a bit like deja vu. Still very entertaining.

Overall, I like it.

Watched the first three episodes, and i'll torrent the rest to watch when there's nowt else on over xmas.

I initially gave it Meh/10, but the third episode was a bit better. They do seem to be copying the UK ideas a fair bit.

That Tanner Foust bloke can drive though, the bit in the Viper, and the hooning in the Evo X was good stuff.
