The History Channel will air the first ten episodes of an American version of everyone's favorite car show this Fall.

i saw tanner in his other show on speedtv and, to me, he was unconvincing as a host...dunno, maybe i'm to old

i still like those old brit blokes, there is a show (albeit, old re-runs) every night on BBC Canada channel

forgot to ask: WTF?! history channel? is this edition gonna be about vintage cars?

The History Channel has lost its way, unfortunately...

Others have fallen farther. Bravo's a joke, A&E's not even that, the less said about "SyFy" the better, and none of the MTV/VH1 channels actually show music videos regularly anymore.

As good as it may be, it's just not the same. BTW, will they have a "American Stig"?

How true. I've often wondered why the History Channel has programs about UFOs and the paranormal, while SyFy has the WWE on monday night...

Because the show is filmed first and then aired, so what you are seeing is history...

My expectations for this are zero . The Brits have a "unique" sense of humor and their biggest saving grace is that they make fun of themselves as much as everyone/everything else with the exception of course of American cars with sold rear axles.
