    Yeah that was a good one. When he drove on it and it exploded as he got out it was perfect timing.

    A little more on the W427 would have been nice, To be honest I'd like to hear the cars more.

    It was enjoyable as far as australian TV goes.

    I assume the astra's were going to be mothballed or something. Or would SBS's budget really go high enough to pay for all damages sustained in the filming of that segment?

    Well...the Astras looked pretty undamaged; at least it was 10X less damage than Top Gear UK's car football.

    They might not need to pay for any damages at all, considering Holden may consider it free advertising.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    see them all bottom out on the ramp? haha. I laughed pretty good at the deformation of the bodywork.

    But yes, no-one rolled their cars.

    Would have been epic (and Hammond-like) if the short dude rolled one of the cabrios

    Anything that gets more astra convertibles off the road can only be a good thing.

    I noticed the other day.....

    He's sponsored by Porsche right? or does driver training for them, or whatever.

    Anyway, he brought up the whole GT-R vs Porsche thing. I was like "Epic conflict of interest".....

    Denyer is contracted to 7. When I did work experience at Prime back in Wagga he was still there, nice bloke.
