Hey guys, I just came back from this years Top Gear Live show in Australia. I have to say it was an action packed 75 min of stunt driving, racing, and a lot of fire and explosion. It was visually spectacular, and entertaining, but at the end I think the show could be better if the stage was a bit bigger. It did feel like watching a more extravagant episode of Top Gear.

Clarkson and May were great, they were entertaining, insulting and generally being politically incorrect. As predicted Toyota and especially the Prius copped a hammering, but people appreciated the humor.
During the audience interviewing time, Clarkson was perving on one of the female audience and announced to the entire arena that she has some lovely assets. The camera man was there to capture the moment when the woman covered her top and her face, while she was trying give out an embarrassed laugh. The rest of the audience interview didn't go as well as planned, I think the middle age guy took Clarkson's remarks too seriously
Clarkson: Sir, obviously you don't care about what people think of the way to dress.
Seeing he couldn't get any reaction from the guy, being typical Clarkson he poked further and question him
Clarkson: What car do you drive?
Guy: 'I drive many cars'
Clarkson: "What car did you drive to the show today'
Guy: "Toyota Prado"
Clarkson: "How did you stop the car?"
Guy: "With a stop button"
The guy said it with a straight face and he clearly looked unimpressed with Clarkson. Clarkson eventually gave up and said "Obviously this guy has no taste in cars''
Initially, I did not plan even plan to go because they gave a very limited information of what the show is going to be like, and I was skeptical of the idea of having an indoor car entertainment show. But then my friend called me yesterday and said he has a free ticket. I thought why not. The seats we had was very near the stage, close enough for me to feel the heat of the various flames and explosions. I think everyone should go once, and I wouldn't mind going again, the sight of powerful cars being let loose, and the smell of burning rubber, oil, and explosives do bring a smile on my face.
Here is one photo of the show, we weren't allowed to take photos and if anyone ask, this photo didn't come from me

I picked up some freebies, including their latest magazine, and a model Ferrari FXX with a speaker that generates a engine noise from a real Ferrari..apparently.

So I have a question for you guys, do you want me to tell you everything that took place in the show, or you prefer not to have me ruined the surprise for you?
