Fuck that, Sabine’s the one I’d rather have a beer with, if forced to pick just one. But in all honesty, I’d drink with pretty much any and/or all of them quite happily. Except the Stig, I do like a bit of conversation, after all.

First, I didn’t say “Can’t be a decent interviewer”, I said that I doubt he’d be as good as Clarkson, who has an almost uncanny knack for it, having seen him in action, in person. Sorry if I wasn’t terribly clear.

I dunno. Occams razor, which is more likely - that they secretly made up and spread fake rumors on purpose, and nobody ever heard about it except those involved despite people in the media generally being thoroughly throughout everyone else’s business and gossiping like old washerwomen at every opportunity, or that…

I’ll agree on the interviewing part - Clarkson, for all his faults, was a pretty decent interviewer. While I’m holding judgement till I see it, I’ll be suprised if Chris can do the same.

That said, they might just have Matt, or both hosting that bit, or trade off, who knows?

“(Unless the whole thing has also been fabricated for publicity, in which case they were just setting up a narrative to do exactly that)”

Well, in your defense, I never said they were very good shows. Though the Australian version of Don’t Forget your Toothbrush was pretty good fun.

It’s almost as if it was made by 95% of the same people, and there was more to Top Gear than just the three presenters and Andy Wilman.

A lot of failed TV productions? Only two of them really failed, TV Mayhem(due to licencing issues, IIRC) and OFI sunday(Which richly deserved it, because it was derivative crap). Most of his radio stuff has been successful too, at least after his rise during the early 90s.

Marriages, though, yeah, let’s not.

See, this video also shows the changes that have happened over the years in Australian racing. These guys are picking up bits of their car as they go, y’know, help the environment. A decade ago, we had drivers like the famous Peter Brock, who was so anti-green that he was once heard saying “Right, it’s me or the…

It’s basically PAX for porn, there’s not much else to say, really.

“Oddly enough, these are the SAME people who’ll reply with “Lol get a good computer, scrub” whenever anyone complains on a forum about a game running terribly, even if it’s not due to a hardware problem.”

Also worth pointing out - Not what happens at Sexpo. It’s mostly just vendors for various porn distributors/studios trying to sell stuff, vendors for various other associated manufacturers and distributors(toys, BDSM gear, lotions, stores, etc), and the odd porn star meet and greet. There’s some stage shows and…

True that mate!

Yeah, that’s about the size of it for utes in general, though I was specifically speaking about utes with tray cabs on. Tradesmen, couriers, fleet vehicles, random people, everybody uses them - if you expand from tray cabs to all utes, I can’t think of many days in my life I’ve not seen them around, barring the couple…

Funny story about that, I made a mate while traveling through Tralee, walked out the pub for a dart just as he was parking up his Maloo. A proper one, too, not even the Vauxhall version. Fucking ace dude, bought me in so his mates could meet a “proper Australian”, swear I was hardly able to pay for a drink all night…

“Put a cap on it and you have a wagon that doesn’t have all sorts of stupid things like “back seats” and “upholstery” ”

Or six. Okay you don’t need six, but it does have one other vitally important advantage - It’s fucking hilarious.

That’s gorgeous, but my first love when it comes to classic Fords will always be the Ford Falcon GTHO Phase III. They’re an absolute thing of beauty.

Old, new, no different. New to me, so I’ll call that good enough. Thanks for the name, though, I’ll give it a listen.

Something I’ve seen called out less than I’d have thought - that’s a fucking badass synth cover/remix of seven nation army.
