Any decent automotive TV shows on Stateside?

[streido]

Im in Scotland and there is nothing car or bike based on tv right now, Top Gear should be back in a few months hopefully but until then......

I usually download shows online from the US to watch when i find something decent, anything out there i could try?

Just finished watching Desert Car Kings series 1, saw the usual, Biker Build Off, Custom My Ride, Jesse James shows, Chasing Classic Cars, etc, so wondering if any of you watched anything else recently i can try?

Anything with engines  Cars, bikes, planes, classics, anything good really.

There is a Top Gear US on History Channel now. I don't think it's quite as good as UK though. BBC America plays Top Gear UK all the time. I've seen almost all of them.

I saw a couple of series of US Top Gear, 1 & 2 & i think some of series 3, i was actually pleasantly surprised that it was pretty ok. Some of it was even good  Maybe theres some newer ones now i havent seen yet, i'll have a look later. Was looking for a Top Gear fix a while back and found Top Gear Austrailia, man, now that show sucks 

Anything with customizing, re-building or just about anything to do with classics, modern or race cars, bikes or cool machines? Love seeing experts fabricate or build amazing stuff out of a pile of rust or junk.

Spike tv has a series of shows called horsepower tv every Saturday morning. Has several different shows, each sort of specializing things(4x4s, trucks, muscle cars). They really know their stuff.

Never seen Top Gear Australia although I have heard of it. Top Gear US first season has an episode called Americas Toughest Truck which is awesome. I've watched it probably 5-6 times and still love that one.

In my opinion there are no good REAL car shows on in the states.

I'd love to see a car show that told it like it is instead of you having to read between the lines about what is a rub with the reviewer and what is an actual piece of garbage.

I'm tired of hearing it lacks a little power only to read later it takes 14 sec to get to 60 MPH or that you might have some safety concerns only to find out they are reviewing a SMART for 2.

Then of course there are those reviewers that think the only thing worth driving costs 100 K and has a BMW emblem on the hood.

I take their reviews with a pinch of salt, i just like the eye candy in those type of shows. Top Gear has some great camerawork too, better than some films, and i like the goofing around with Clarkson.

Even some of the dumbass shows can have some good points. I like seeing artists at work building a cool car or bike by hand, old school. Also love my classic cars and bikes too, much as i hate that little Wayne Carrini guy i like to se the barn finds and cool classics on Chasing Classic Cars, even tho every one is out my budget.

I even watched a show a while back called Pimp My Truck  . Total redneck show but some of the finished work was great so i could appreciate that.

Decent??

Well... they still have their clothes on....

I watch them for the "entertainment" aspect only, nothing more...

I love it when cars are pimped in less than 30 minutes...

All I watch is the Discovery Chanel. What ever is on. Beside that just Dl movies. Prometheus is a real good re make of Alien...
I use Tixati for Dloading, and Iso Hunt for most of the movies I watch

I rarely watch live tv now, i usually record the few watchable things or download the series, then i dont need to watch the ads, or wait for a week between shows.

Usually use Isohunt or Demonoid, sometimes Kickass or Torrenthound.

The Brit show Wheeler Dealer on Velocity where they purchase a car cheaply and then do a "fix-up" not total restoration. After that they sell it on to make a profit. These are real world cars at real world prices Pretty good show..Len

There's a big, black hole where good moto-auto programming should be.
I'd love to view a series of a real racecar build-off by real and talented technicians and engineers. 
Not the chromed erection stuff with attitude and no technical merit.  What can I learn from these numbnuts, except what not to say and how not to behave.

Wheeler Dealers is one of my fave shows Big Blue, seen them all, good shows. Cant wait for a new series of that.

Gregs, know what you mean but i think its all moved on a fair bit from the bad and nasty days of Pimp My Ride lol,  "He likes guitars, soooooooo.......i was thinking we can use a rear guitar as a steering wheel and fit a bubble machine in the exaust just like a rock star" *slaps head in agony*

I liked the Chip Foose shows, that guy is talented as are a few others. I think most of the idiotic ones have been sussed out by now and kicked off air.
