Yeah, they have plenty of good info and the gear they show just makes me drool. The extreme blokes high voice is so annoying, though.

Yeah it is lol. But not as annoying as always hearing about lightforce, wholesale automatics, dp chips and that bloody Colorado 7

Yes it is....... it would be good if there was an Aussie version of these shows

One of the channel 7 ad channels runs a muscle car show, I always forget it and catch the last half. It's oz based.

Yep I love the 4wd one. Like how they just go for it making the tube buggy.

Not %100 sure on how lame some of the drivers are though

That would be Gasoline and Man and machine. They're not to bad, there is an old school Mechanic that gets a segment and he is pretty cool, gets excited about his work which is good to see

I have wondered about that. Video never shows it properly. But look at some of the step ups and what not that he test drives on, some are as big and bigger than the tyres, and they dont fark around with 35's usually on 42-44 inch plus

Yeah probably right. But sometimes they over exaggerate the smaller things, but I guess that's what a lot of American shows do

Yep, I watch them too, but most of the times over the net on the catch up sites or you tube. Man and machine in into its third season.

Go here (http://www.powerblocktv.com/)and you can watch as much drool inducing "Power" TV as you can take. Recently spent 1/2 a day watching old eps of Extreme Offroad and Extreme 4X4.

I must get a life ;)

Love them the amount of gear off the shelf blows me away,
and what about the prices boy are we getting ripped off.
they call 35" tyres small, they put a set of 54" on some buggy a while back
Ian Johnson and his high voice and hair lol

Thought I'd put this here . picture is of my BIL's 41' Willy's.
he reckons he paid $100k for it, lol
since owning it he has changed the motor and recencently won best in show.
IMO the guy who built it should get all the cred, Its like me buying FIGJAM;s rig and claiming all the credit
