The UK cars are just embarassing. "Ph34r my Ford Ka wid huge ground effex kitz and teh kromez! Respak teh neonz on my 40hp m0tar! We iz da realist gankstaz y0! Sup sup!!1!!" Slap.

I want that Mexican 454 Chev Silverado for my tow wagon though. 8)

i watched the last 1/2 an hour, pretty average show. Was pretty boring actually, that "Rides" program is much better.

UK - gay cars
US - awesome big blocks, tubbed out - massive sized drivers...
JP - drifting was good, crazy guy changes his tyres every week for street drifting...
MX - what was with all the VW bugs???

I really liked the show after it about the crab fishing - awesome what they do, insane working conditions - got OSH/ACC?

Agreed.Those crab fishing guys are just nuts,nuts I tells ya!The drift guy from Japan buys used tyres though,so wouldn't be as expensive,but still,every week!!Listen to the idle on "Fat Rats" car,damn it sounds nasty!

Discovery Channel > me

hlusnation · 23rd December 2005, 01:09 PM

well it was interesting seeing that street racing thing but i just thought it was a pretty shithouse documentary

I thought i could expect more from discovery channel, but the more that i see on that channel, the less impressed i am with the strength of their documentary filmmaking skills. sure the information is awesome, but they could do better couldn't they.

(sorry bout the ranting guys

ops: )

Did no-one else pick up that Mexican guys comment in the first half?
