Wheeler Dealers is great. They bought a C4 one time and did some inexpensive and impressive fixes to it and sold it for a really nice profit. - AB


That one is Chasing Classic Cars. He does have some cool cars.


But he is a complete ass. I can't watch the show because of him.

I think the intro of the show makes him look like an ass but I think that was just some stupid tv writers. I love that show, I want to be him when I grow up! Last night's episode he finds a Dino in a tent with mice nests in it, buys it, calls a guy and resells it and then gets the job restoring it. Of all these kind of shows it's my favorite, I think they have a very eclectic group of cars since I started watching a month ago there has been a Ferrari California, 1936 MG race car, Fiat something, and a big BMC car carrier. Todd, give it another try. If you avoid asshats all your life you will eventually just have to stay in your house 24/7.

Just set mine and I'm glad my wife doesn't have any vampire heartthrob shows during this timeslot.

He's totally corny but I actually like Tanner Foust and look forward to the show. They've got big shoes to fill, but I think they can pull it off if it's not too hokie.

My DVR is set as well. I'll have to admit that after watching more episodes now I actually do like Top Gear and I'm looking forward to the US version.

I was rather surprised that he like the Brit Top Gear as well. I think the US Top Gear will be good but will disappoint many.

Some of the stuff they seem to get away with (insurance wise) just amazes me. Mythbusters run into those issues all the time and the TG guys do stuff 100 times more dangerous.

The one think I do really like about the UK version is they seem to be able to say anything about anyone...PC crap be damned.

Sunday at 10:00 on the History Channel.

Which is the same time as the "Brewmasters" premier on Discovery if anyone is interested.

Agreed. The Evo MR that got blown to hell was pretty awesome as well as the Jag (?) that got launched into the junkyard pile of cars with the caravan in tow. The double decker bus race was nuts too.

I don't mind the chasing classic cars guy either. I don't find him to be annoying.

I don't have a whole lot of hope for the US version of TG. We always seem to water stuff down and saturate it with adverts dressed up as tests.

Oh well time will tell
