And delayed 1 week on BBC America . . . July 8th. Can't wait!

 

There are always torrents.

 

I know, but I like to schedule my Monday night TV schedule with quality television!!

 

Fast N' Loud?

 

I actually like that show! They like to drink beer . . . so they can't be that bad.

 

I love that show too. I love that '59 Pontiac they did that night and the '38 Ford from last season's finale was even better.

 

I DVR'd last night to watch Blackhawks.

 

Here's a preview for you.

They built this Pontiac for those Australians from previous season.

 

I'm not a big fan of the shows where they pretty much flip cars in what seems like a week. You know they haven't dive a quality job. The only one I like is overhaulin because you see them go through the whole process and do it right.

I can't wait for Top Gear!

 

Doesn't Overhaulin flip cars in a week too?

 

I don't think Overhaulin' flips cars to sell, but just for the recipient.

 

Overhaulin is little too ... perfect. No drama, everything's done on time, no arguments ... Where is fun in that? I like American Hot Rod, Fast N' Loud, Chasing Classic Cars ...

 

I like Wheeler Dealers too!

 

Great show.

I also like that new show What's in the Barn on Velocity.

 

Great first episode. I love the hot hatchs comparison ...

 

Can't wait for the new Top Gear on BBC America... helps me get through Mondays

 

Overhaulin actually repairs the cars. They put in new motors, transmissions, suspension, wheels, brakes, tires, etc. Most of the other week flip shows I've seen they wash it, maybe throw on some paint, and fix a couple minor things like putting on new brakes, and the cars show it and look like crap when they're done. If they're not going to do it right and put in the effort, I'd rather they leave the cars to someone that will.

 

I just started watching counting cars on history channel. They repair a lot of muscle cars. I really enjoy it.

 

Too bad Counting Cars does not show any work they do. A 30 minutes episode usually consists of 10 minutes buying time, 5 minutes acting like idiots, 5 minutes selling the car and the remaining 10 minutes in commercials. They don't show any restoration work they do.
