The new Aussie STIG ..............is

With the AUSSIE TOP GEAR going to CH9 and Warnie the main man on the show, will there be a new STIG. Well herd today that one Mr M.SKAIFE could be on the top of the list for the STIG job.

This is the worst news in the history of Australian TV (ok so maybe I'm getting carried away)

Top Gear Australia, like it or loathe it was still the best motoring show Australia has ever produced. Now the network who have brought you such dribble as 20 to 1, ACA and Whats Good For You have taken the rights and put this self publicising fool in as a presenter.

The world will look on in disbelief as we take a winning formula and destroy it royaly.

Warnie!!!!!! What the hell.


They gotta keep the trumpet player and the cartoonist. They are GREAT.

The Porsche instructor is quite okay too. Hopefully he stays in the line-up. I suppose they can (just) get away with replacing him with Warnie (!).


I suggest replacing the Stig with "Stiggo" dressed in a blue racing suit to offer some form of differentiation.


Presumably this means the BBC top gear will be shown on nine also? (better than much of their second-rate programming that's for sure!) perhaps the delay compared to the british screenings will be reduced in this case

Shane Warne is Australia's greatest living, breathing, celebrity dip-****.

It's a sad day indeed that Ch9 have put faith in someone with an image so yobbo friendly to host what is an otherwise entertaining format (at least that's the BBC version I refer to)... and absolutely nothing in common with the level headed enthusiasts among us.

Lose, lose scenario.

I can't see this being good for TG Australia, I just hope it doesn't happen.

Would his contract be with Channel 7, or V8TV?

As his face or name wouldn't be used, i couldn't see it being a problem.

Are we talking about the bloke that plays cricket and does the ads for Advanced Hair? What has he got to do with motoring/motorsport? He's an idiot.

All I can say is that none of this is confirmed. Please keep it on SBS and with the current line up.

Precisely, RF.

Shane Warne would be reason enough for me to never watch the show.

BBC's TG is more credible than any motoring show hosted by SW will ever be.

I never knew the current show was so popular... everyone always seemed to bag it.

Shane Warne? gimme a break.

I have to say I enjoyed the second season of TG Australia more than the first, but it did need a retune I think.

I'll keep an open mind though.

Well, if Top Gear Australia does go to Channel 9, what odds there will be text in competitions? Anyone else see the irony in that if Shane Warne is a host???

Seems like being an adulterer, a ********, a former cricketer and own a couple of exotic cars gives you what is required to get the "gig".

Sam Newman must be a little disappointed !!

Let's not forget Shane's money pit that's bought him a few Ferraris... his err charity.

We all know Shane does heaps for underprivileged kids... because he really does care! (cough, cough!)
