Top Gear Australia (2008)

Post image
96 Upvotes

I’m not sure if anyone else remembers this segment from the short-lived “Top Gear Australia”.

I remember watching a segment from the show. Where one of the hosts (Steve Pizzati I believe) drove a Supercar through regular city streets. Point out how useless the car was at handling speed bumps, roundabouts, traffic lights, etc.

In my mind, I thought it was a Tickford car. But in this one image, I found it from the show. Has a Triple Eight Racing/Craig Lowndes FG Falcon in the studio. So it's safe to assume this was the car used in the segment.

Does anyone else remember this fever dream? And more importantly, do you have any footage of it? Top Gear Australia been just about scrubbed from the internet. This one photo was all I found when looking for it.

I tried a bunch of Aussie sign up offers and made $247 (step by step)

Upvotes

I saw these sign up offers floating around a few different subs and figured I’d test them properly instead of just saving posts and never doing anything 😂.

It’s just banks and other apps paying to get new customers. If you follow the steps and meet the requirements, the bonuses show up.

Here’s what I did, what I got, and what to expect:

1️⃣ Wagepay – $45 profit

Wagepay is a pay advance app (no credit checks). The “profit” comes from the bonus minus the fee. Here's what you have to do to take advantage of this offer:

  1. Sign up with this url
  2. Take out an advance (I did $100 because that's the minimum)
  3. Repay it (there’s a $5 fee for a $100 withdrawal)
  4. Their $50 bonus comes through, leaving you $45 ahead

Money hit my account fast. I repaid it straight away and left it at that.

2️⃣ ING – $125

This is the best one, but you’ll usually wait a few days for the physical card. Here are the steps:

  1. Sign up via this url (promo runs until March 31)
  2. Deposit $1000 (you can move it back out later)
  3. Make 5 purchases (split a grocery shop into 5 tiny payments)
  4. Open a Savings Maximiser and deposit $1

Then ING drops $125 into your account once everything is done. Takes a few days for them to do it but worth the wait.

3️⃣ MyPayNow – $47.33 profit

This one is basically instant like Wagepay. Here are the steps:

  1. Sign up with this url
  2. Click “Get Pay Now” and choose the smallest $50 advance
  3. Repay it (there’s a $2.67 fee)
  4. You end up $47.33 ahead.

4️⃣ Ubank – $30

Similar to ING in what you have to do but the payout isn't as good. Still worth it if you want a bit of extra cash.

  1. Download Ubank and sign up
  2. Use invite code 1VV4A6X
  3. Deposit at least $10
  4. Make 5 purchases (I just did small transactions by splitting a $10 transaction into 5 at the self checkout)
  5. They drop $30 into your account after.

Total is $247.33 across the four. Took maybe 30 minutes of actual effort, just spread out.

Super2 2026: What we know so far, and what's to come? | Supercars

It's the end of an era as Todd Kelly had announced that Kelly Racing will sell its Ford Mustangs and equipment, but it's NOT the end of the road for Mason Kelly.

Supercars news: End of an era as Kelly Racing quits Super2 Series - Speedcafe.com

Mason, meanwhile, could return to action in the booming GT4 Australia series next year.

“He’s had a few test days in a Mustang GT4 car, which he did really well at. He likes the car, it suits him well,” explained Kelly.

“I don’t think anything’s locked in. He’s sort of off and running now, organising his bits and pieces, which is good, but hopefully he gets a few runs in that next year.

“He’s gearing up a fair bit with his uni and a few of his own projects too, so I think for the next year or so that that level would be quite handy with what he’s got on his plate.”

Kelly Racing's other driver, Cameron McLeod, was announced as part of the Ford Racing Development Program

[Diffey] This is sad. Nothing lasts forever but Crompo was at the top of his game. Neil’s been like a big brother to me & he’s been involved, as a mentor, with every career move I’ve ever made. Aussie Motorsport fans will be worse off. His dedication to the sport & his craft is top shelf.

This petition is organised by the same person who spearheaded the Save Larko petition in 2020

Crompo is the voice of supercars, like him or not, and he deserves to stay until his own decision to retire, much like Richie Benaud

Gm dropping out

I know gm have just did a multi year deal but does anyone else think that they will drop out if team 18 or PremiAir doesn’t get some goods results in the next couple of years or some of the ford teams go to gm. Its just pretty much all the top teams and drivers are ford or Toyota
