Default Top Gear UK V's Australia!

More like UK V's Holden!

I know Top Gear UK cant take on Ford Oz vehicles as they arent sold in the UK but c'mon!! Jeremy i know you loved the new GT recently in Melbourne. Hope to see some of the Aussie built Fords on the show soon rather than the imported parts and assembled in Australia Holden Commodores

Its just a re ordering of the first episode of TGA Series three. With a different introductory sequence for the TGA hosts.

Then they put it into the proper format of a TG show rather then the format of a TG Special.

Yeah... nothing new here.

We still have other brands of cars we sell in the UK. Bufori... Elfin, to name a couple.

The UK version was better than the TGA version shown here a few months back.

Anyway there was a Ford beating a Holden on the show.

Ford don't sell Falcon in the UK, whereas Holden do sell the Commodore as a Vauxhaul.

It seems hard to comprehend for some it seems. Pretty basic that a uk based car program will only worry about cars sold in that part of the world and not one sold on the other side of the globe.
