I know there's some Foxtel junkies kicking around here somewhere.
Anyone seen this show? I think it's on most nights of the week.. on the How To channel. OK it's not brilliant and most of us have probably gotten further into an engine than these guys have... But still pretty cool. Last night they were working on a 5.0L Ford Explorer. Removing upper intake, disassembling throttle, EGR and ISC... cleaning and replacing gaskets etc. Other episodes ive seen are removing, cleaning and replacing aspects of the cooling system on a SB chev... Certainly can relate more to what these guys are doing than... say... putting a set of 24 inch giovannis on a hummer (MTV spec). Anyways, worth a watch

yeah i turn it on every now and then, its weird because it sounds like they do everything by script, even the "jokes" and the conversation when they throw to an add, it can be tedious at times because they do little simple things like putting on new door mirrors and take 3/4 of a show to do it. but some things they do are pretty cool like completely disassemble a gear box and show all the workings of the inside.
