They should replace them all with Northy, DHC and myself :P

That would be epic :P

Episode 1: An interview with Webber, Northy saying POOWRRRR all day, Super's guide to Nebo and lakeside, and me racing with a GTR vs Super n North with the tilt train :P

Episode 2: Finding Australia's best driving road!!

I think this would be a bigger turn off than a crack whore. Every time I hear those commentators I want to gouge my ear drums out.

Its all well and good to use a race driver to talk about cars, but most race drivers are aligned with a manufacturer so might be biased. Not to mention they may very well be a boring in front of a camera when describing cars and not how their race is going. Bowe or Jim Richards might be interesting and seem like friendly chaps. Brad Jones is always good for a laugh on The Panelbeaters.

Isn't Richard Burns still in Oz? I would like to see him - he's a least presentable.

Mr Morrison... we have met. You do not belong in cars. You belong in a kebab shop.

'Nuff said.

I doubt any of the V8 supercar drivers have any personality, let alone the time to spend on a show thats most likely going down the tube.

I would prefer none of the hosts be able to 'officially' drive properly.

Half the fun with Clarkson/Hammond/May is that they are all a middle class Journalist/DJ/Pianist who just happen to have a hobby for cars. The only one who needs to drive well for testing purposes is The Stig.

Keep Warren the cartoon man, but get rid of Steve Pizatti as well... replace him and Charlie with someone like Daryl Somers (ex 'Hey-Hey its Saturday'), Ian 'Dicko' Dickson, Vince Colosimo (the curly headed guy from the Wog-Boy/Underbelly), or even Shane Warne.

You've hit the nail on the head with that one. The guys don't have to be drivers, just car enthusiasts that are entertaining.

The only Richard Burns I know of is the rally driver, and he's dead.......which some would say is more presentable than Charlie Cox, but I don't quite agree there.

Agreed wholeheartedly. C*ck-head and Gerbil-face (as I call them, Cox and Pizatti respectively) aren't presenters, they're drivers who can talk to a camera. We need the opposite - presenters who can turn a steering wheel with some modicum of capability. Warren Brown has that in a James-May kind of way, but Gerbil-face (despite being an advanced driving instructor and Porsche factory driver) giggles like a school-girl over anything more exciting than a Hyundai Getz, and C*ck-head drones on like a Beetle at cruising speed - no emotion, enthusiasm or general likeability

But Northy can't drive??? :lol:

Superdave is probably the fastest driver on here (being that he, dylan and myself are the only ones who visit a track often)
