Motorsport fans got a special treat on the mid-north coast on Monday, with a very special crew passing through.
The Top Gear team pulled up at the Big Banana in Coffs Harbour, showing off their entourage of stunning cars.
The convoy left Brisbane on Sunday, as part of a fuel-saving challenge between live shows.
They will now dazzle their way to Sydney, and will also stop in Wollongong and Shepparton, ahead of the Top Gear Live Festival in Melbourne on Friday.
What a croc this was, there was meant to be a $2 million convoy in Coffs today and all I saw was a black jaguar and about 30 cars from the local car clubs. I cannot believe how this story it was such a beat up.
I’ve got a garage full of vehicles that would rival the pathetic cars put on display today.
The crowd had every right to be disappointed by the vehicles. The only people who went away happy were the ticket winners to the Top Gear melbourne show.
How could have Channel 9 put on such a lousy show using the Top Gear banner
I agree mate.
Full credit to the local car owners but when the media is saying there is going to a $2mil convoy and just a jag and a V8 supercar turn up it makes you wonder about the Top Gear brand.
At least the Coffs Sporting Car Club did their bit.
NBN and Top Gear have a lot to answer for about this so call “convoy”
If this roadshow is moving on to Newcastle, Sydney and Victoria in the form that was seen in Coffs today its gonna make headlines around the world and they wont be good
One jaguar, one of Lowndesy’s cars and a heap of local car club projects is a pathetic show. Wheres the 2mil in that – it was a snub on Coffs, I bet the captial cities get the Ferrais, the Porsches and the Mercedes
If I was part of that convoy I simply would not have stopped today out of pride
Thousands of Coffs people turned out with the kids in the rain for nothing
Fair go can someone explain what all the fuss was about
yeah nbn and top gear, you just lost a family of viewers
where was clarkeson and hammett, not to mention the fing cars – Major Croc
Thanks for blogging us on this story Pedro
How can they turn around the say it was a treat
There were a lot of angry people there today and rightly so me included
Your cars looked grand boys outshowed the top gear lads
Where were the cars the show promised?
Did they confuse Coffs Harbour with Coonamble…..
The radio was beating it up all week what a let down
There were more photos taken of the banana today then there have been for the last decade. Keep blogging men we need answers
I take it no one is joining the convoy trip to Newcastle then?
I wouldnt be seen dead in my wheels anywhere near that so called convoy
A couple of toyota corallas, a jag with a bad spray job and a few sprint cars – pathetic
I think it was nbn and not the bbc who organised it looking at the press stories in the leadup
Well done men outshone the top gear crew
Maybe they got lost and went to Coonamble instead of Coffs
The radio was beating it up all week
A big disappointment I can see why the stars werent there it was like a second hand car lot from 1980 no offence of course the ford crew
