it's a cool trailer ... but I reckon Stuff might be giving it the kiss of death by being so utterly stupid as to look at this as anything like Top Gear.

It appears to be far more like Garage Wars, or whatever that US show was that had people building demo derby cars. Really not like Top Gear in any way at all, other than the occasional one of their low budget challenge articles.

looks exactly like what i was doing all day during my last year at school, but with far more safety gear
The four seasons in Australia consist of "$&#$% it's hot", "Can you believe how $&#$% hot it is?", "I won't be in today because it is too $&#$% hot" and "Yes, the dinner plate size spiders come inside to escape from the heat."

Bingo. This seems to have nothing whatsoever in common with TopGear except the fact it involves cars. And we all know the typical stereotype of people involved in demolition derbys.....
