Default Test Drive XR4 Review

Dont know if you guys have seen this or not, Channel 9's new car show "Test Drive" XR4 review (if you can call it that), got some nice shots of the car though, worth a look.

I can not stand australian car shows at the moment, the hosts have no personality, and they don't say wot they actually think of the car instead they read wots in the brochure.

It reminds me so much of CyberShack.. where Erin McNaught (DROOOOOOL) talks about the new lastest gadgets that she has obviously has no ideas about..

As I said guys......"not really a review" but the shots of the car are worth a look, that young lady presenter isn't too bad either though, the shows got something going for it
