Those cars looked amazing. My only issue is the fact that history has chosen to retain the worst cast of presenters. Their terrible writing and horrible "challenges" make me nauseous. Its a shame Top Gear allowed them to desecrate the good name that they have established. I stopped watching this show a long time ago due to the offensive presenters. The awesome cars last night were the only reason I decided to tune in lol

stayed up just to see this and now I know why I don't watch TV . I love your car Steve and the other pro touring cars or should I say resto mod cars and was really hoping this is what the show was going to be about some great cornering action! wtf? flies?then were going to a drag race track so I kept watching was hoping for some door to door racing action and not even another mention of the awesome cars that started the show.I hope you were compensated for this! the cars all looked awesome!

The preview posted earlier was cool. The history channel link posted doesn't work here in Aus apparently

Watched it last night...cars looked awesome..

What a dream come true to have your car featured on TV....

Are you still finding dead flies under the seats etc ?

Overall, I still think the show is pretty weak...especially compared to the UK Top Gear

I loved the show, I know Yancy, and Bill could not have loved the flies.

Penny looked awesome, but Bill's Charger was the biggest surprise to me. I know I've seen it on TV before, but this was different, I think the camera was trimming, looked like it lost 2000 lbs. After watching the show I want one.LOL

Truly a shame Tanner didn't drive Penny, or Bill's car. Would have been a cooler show. Freekin Adam lifting in a drag race, Pu$$y!

Hey, I just like Tanner's line when BP was pulling away.

Oh, the "drag race" was really two shoots.. one for the lanch and then they stopped at the end of the street and went out to another road where they had the fantasy sequence where the Ford caught up.. lol

And it was fun seeing her on the big screen.. old girl still looks good..

She will be back here in a week or so and I will do a very careful inspection for flies..
