Dave:
Along with other stuff on Speed TV, there is an excellent series of shows called "Victory by Design". Available in DVD at:
https://www.victorybydesign.com/
ESPN2 (sports cable-TV channel) also shows an occasional SCCA road-race. History (cable TV channel) has also had some good car-stuff on from time-to-time. Check local listings (they also have websites).
Honestly, I always prefer to see these old crocks in-the-flesh. I'm sure there are shows in your area (big one in Waynesboro, VA in Oct.):
https://www.mgcars.org.uk/events/eventusa.html
Since you're not too far from VIR, you may want to see some of these cars in action:
https://www.virclub.com/track_schedule/index.html
And while I'm at it, if you'd like to see several club-racing Sprites in-the-flesh (including mine) we'll be at Summit Point (WV) on Nov 20 and 21. No admission.

I think it's funny how big our show is, here at the park, because I really didn't realize it was that big. Everyone with several hundred miles seems to know about it! That's awesome. Everyone should come down and enter their car. That way I get to meet people off the forum too.

Thanks. I'll have to check the day/time here on the east coast. Any idea what their show My Classic Car is about?

Catch Legends of Motorsports on Speed -- usually 7am pacific on thursdays (I think.) It's all old racing footage, most from BMC, Triumph and Rootes PR films. Great Rally and Lemans coverage

Sammy You have to get a different sig. picture. No ones garage should be that neat! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif If my wife ever saw that!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif Brian /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/canpatriot.GIF
Dave,
My Classic Car is a fun little show. It stars Dennis Gage (who has a huge handlebar mustache.) There are three segments to the show. The first segment is going through cars at a car show -- they do everything from the Vancouver BC All British Show, to Corvettes at Carlisle and Amelia Island Concours. The second segment is a parts and services section, and usually it's just a paid-advertising spot about weatherstripping, car audio, insurance, lubricants etc... The final segment is usually a garage tour or test drive. They have done many of Leno's cars -- Duesey, Stanley Steamer, tank-engine hot rod.
Brian,
My garage usually doesn't look that neat. I spent an hour today picking it up, because there was junk everywhere -- boxes, nuts and bolts, garbage, and tools strewn about. Even in this picture, you just can't see the piles of stuff, because I moved them to be obscured by the cars in the pic.

I've been watching Fifth Gear on the Speed Channel on Mondays. This week they did a review on the MGF (the test driver didn't like it) Also on the DIY channel A Car is Reborn is a very interesting show. Mark Evans restored an XKE, Triumph Bonneville, Harley, and built a helicopter.
