Do you watch the Velocity Channel?

I watch it primarily for two shows, which I disliked at first but grew on me after a while.

1. Chasing Classic Cars
2. Wheeler Dealers

I like both those shows too.

Chasing Classic Cars is my fav of the two just because of the crazy variety of cars he buys and sells. And it's not drenched in reality drama BS just cool cars and auctions . The old-timer mechanic is funny. When he got some rare Porsche engine and was taking all the pieces of it out of boxes he was going nutso.

It's also fun on WD to see ol' Ed have to fix up all the hoopties Mike buys

I enjoy Chasing Classic Cars. Wayne seems to be a great person in a business where "used car dealer" is a dirty word.
I like Wheeler Dealers, but the music is super irritating.
You should also check out South Beach Classics, just to get a look at Robin.

I like/watch both of these programs but for some reason I feel like Wheeler Dealers isn't popular in the UK. I talk with a few guys in London on a daily basis for work so I guess I should ask them how the show does over there.

they've been running promos lately showing (but not mentioning the name) 5th gear clips I hope it is a teaser for the near future.
