Indyzed Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 My apologies to the U.K. Heaven help us. Two of the three guys are not automotive journalists at all. Just freakin pretty boys. I knew this would happen. http://www.motorcities.com/contents/08/ ... 30279.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC350z Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 The Australian one should be interesting and hopefully funny. UK show starts this Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam@Z1auto.com Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 why do they have to be automotive journalists? If the show sinks or swims, it's not going to be because the hosts were or were not "journalists" IMHO. There have been plenty of car related shows in the past that have been utter disasters (and not at all enjoyable), that had nothing but journalists involved. Passion IMHO is far more important than what school you went to. Hammond was/is a game show host essentially - and I think even hosted a dog show (pets, not women). I think he's easily as entertaining, and passionate, as Clarkson and May, who have more traditional car media experience. I personally am not a Foust fan as far as tv goes, but oh well - some show hopefully is better than none, and if its a total wash, thank god for youtube videos of the real show!

martinmac Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I know Hammond and he is a great guy, I think the reason the show work well is that its nothing to do with car reviews but a great piece of entertainment. Remember the days of Noel Edmonds presenting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the days of Noel Edmonds presenting I agree - the show could be about moss and it would still be worth watching. The on air chemistry among them is terrific, and they are all intelligent, witty, and interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
