Yep
Maybe I�m turning grumpy...
But why pointlessly damage two excellent old-school Ozzie rockets...
As much as I like the Q�s�.XA XB would be welcome in my garage any time.

I watched the episode.
I think I understand what they were trying to do by having some classic old school Aussie cars in a story, however I think it was quite hypocritical. To portray yourself as an Aussie Car show, and have a "tru blu" Aussie car story, with RARE cars in GOOD condition, and proceed to damage them all in the name of TV ratings, is really POOR!
Top Gear Australia, YOU SUCK!

I agree - was a bit sad at how casually they drove into each others car, but very much Top Gears style. I guess thats how the Marina owners feel in the UK every time they smash one of the UK show

As a British Leyland AND Holden fan (yes, truly!), I can confidently say that the Morris / Leyland Marina can be likened in Australia to the Holden Camira. Both well known in their home country, but both very expendable!
The HQ Kingswood is a VERY different story! An Aussie icon you could say.
VERY different story!
*shakes his head*....
