And a 3rd here! Anything on TV that doesn't involve cooking, endless DIY, Suzan Paul or saving the bloody whales or Kardashian's (hard to pick the difference) has to be a step in the right direction!.

Sky channel. Some good stuff coming up too. About time we had a channel to suit petrolheads.
To add to sr2's list, don't forget Sky also has rugby channels & 2 dog meat racing channels - and we can also do without programmes on embarrassing bodies; wife swap (not what I thought it was going to be. ); fatties trying to lose weight; pathetic hoarders and anything to do with overcoming some genetic disability; or any form of personal makeover; whinging beneficiaries with a fag in one hand and a beer in the other; training wayward kids and pets.
Doesn't leave much! At least we can spot classic cars in "Midsomer Murders" plus "Inspector George Gently" and other period programmes.
Even caught my wife watching Downton Abbey and two Bentleys having a 'race'.

This channel has been playing in other countries for years, glad they finally bought it here. Lived in Thailand for 3 years and they always had it there. Recently named it to Discovery DMAX. Not sure why, but same content and still awesome.

Great to see the old American Hot Rod reruns too. The only downside with Discovery Turbo is the amount of ads

Some pretty good stuff on there. Don't bother watching that plonker building bikes. There ya go - can't even remember his name.
Had tea with the Smashed Palace duo last night. I mentioned to Barb that it must have been good for biz, and she said the phone & emails haven't stopped. Apparently there's truck loads of filming in the can, so there could be more episodes than the 8 shown, if they want.
Wheeler dealers is a laugh - honest guys and some good cars, But my god the Americans have got too much money and all the great cars

I think you'll find that the Arabs and the Japanese have a fair bit of stuff and I would imagine the Chinese are also 'investing', not to mention the rich Russians. However, there are a fair few Kiwis with impressive collections too.
