Last week, in between listening to the cricket and dodging 45degC, in the shade, temps I thought I heared something of an Australian version of TG. And that they are calling for auditions for presenters from the general public. Anybody heard anything of this? Would be good to get somebody from here on rather than a toyoda prion loving preacher. Did you think I would leave you crying,
When there's room in my D3 for 7,
Climb in here Joe we'll soon be flying,
I can go just as fast with 7.

TOP GEAR - AUSTRALIA
We’re on the hunt to find Australia’s best Top Gear on air team - and we’re looking for both tried and untried television talent. Will you make the team?
Are you amongst Australia’s most knowledgeable, humorous, articulate and passionate people when discussing and assessing cars? If you are, we want to give you a chance to be part of the presenting team for this exciting new series being developed and produced by Freehand, in association with BBC Worldwide and Top Gear, for SBS.
To be part of this fantastic opportunity, you are:
18 years or older on 1 January, 2008 - though if you’re a Lewis Hamilton whose skills could impress our insurance company, then we might consider you.
The holder of a current, unblemished drivers licence.
Available for filming in Australia at dates to be confirmed in 2008.
Not affiliated (beHolden ... hmm) to any car company or motoring company through sponsorship, commercial arrangements or employment.
Demonstrably knowledgeable, opinionated and passionate about cars - and able to deliver that knowledge and passion (along with humour, of course) on screen.
NOT a clone of the magnificent and simply unique Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond or James May. We’re looking for Australia’s own Top Gear faces. Of course you could be a clone of The Stig.
You may be an amateur motor enthusiast and expert who’s not a television presenter. You may be a motoring journalist with little or no television experience. You may have some television experience BUT we’re NOT looking for classic television presenters without knowledge, experience or expertise.
SEND US YOUR VIDEO
Initially, we need to see and hear you on video. So send us a video (VHS, DV or DVD, we don’t mind) which gives us a look at what you can do. Tell us about who you are, where you live, the best car ever, the worst car ever, what stunts and celebrities you want to see on Top Gear Australia and what drives you nuts in the world of cars. And if you want a couple of your mates to help you out on camera as a ready-made team, that’s fine. And if you want to be The Stig - persuade us you know how to drive and we’ll NEVER reveal who you are - and of course you won’t either!
But you’ve only got 10 minutes on tape. That’s all we’ll watch - so no Hollywood epics please. And remember, this is not about clever film-making to disguise average talent. Let your talent shine through even if your video making technique’s not flash.
HOW TO APPLY
You need to download the Top Gear Australia application package - or you can email topgear@freehandtv.com.au and we’ll send it to you.
Complete the form and send it with your video entry to:
Top Gear Australia
Locked Bag 2005
Glebe NSW 2037
APPLICATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY 5PM ON FRIDAY, 1 FEBRUARY NO LATE APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
THE SELECTION PROCESS
Your video entry will be watched by a team of television professionals who will select those who shine for an interview. The next stage will see a chosen few come together for bit of a bonding session and camera tests. From those, the new Top Gear Australia presenting team will be chosen.
agreed - good to have someone friendly on board. Any volunteers? Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

Ah.
Perhaps he could be the first "guest" to assist with a demonstration of approach, ramp-over and departure angles. Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.

Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
