Default A call to arms...sorta

I was having a look round on top gear UK's site and noticed a bit about Australian cars, the title led me to believe they jumped in a few of our cars while they were here.

well I was wrong, they are just talking about the 3 times they've driven the "Vauxhauls" :

So this was a bit disappointing I thought, until I spotted a comments section.


It may or may not work, but lets try to get it in their heads to drive an Aussie Falcon!

Yeah, maybe he needs to have a really good drive of an F6 (in FPV or better yet: Nizpro guise)

Don't take it too hard though, they will always bag Aussies...we do the same to Kiwi's...

I'm wondering if there are many Falcons over there?


I know there is at least one member here that has an AU XR8 in England

Surely there's a few cashed up Ex-pats who imported an FG over there?
They should give topgear a drive
