Hey Sky, long time no......type. Haven't seen you in here in awhile. Last time I brought up this show I thought you said you couldn't get SPEED channel over there? So what did you think of it?

It comes on Men and Motors here in England.

Its pretty cool, although the format for the racing is pretty dumb.

Yeah, the format is pretty dumb, but it was fun watching Justin Burcham bust that guy's azz. Funnier still was everyone talking about Justin "playing" with the guy, looks to me like he won the succeeding races by simpy not wheelstanding the car (although that was freakin' cool) and getting it down the track quicker.

The first race should have been a bust. In real life if the starting line guy STOPS YOU and then tells you you LOST because of it, then starting line guy would typically get a free ride to the hospital and there'd be a new starting line guy.

Don't Forget, New Pinks On Wednesday Night!!!! 7 Or 8.

giddyup50 · #21 03-08-2006, 07:08 PM

NEW PINKS ON TONIGHT!!! DON'T FORGET!!!

I thought last weeks was pretty cool with the white Camaro and yellow Nova. The guy with the Camaro was a goober but for some reason I liked him, his car was fast!! Especially off the line, that thing took off like a rocket!!

You didn't miss much. THEY HAD STUPID MOTORCYCLES AGAIN!! It was cool that they were drag bikes, still sucked though....YAWN.

And of course, we had another "contraversey" with the starting line. When the guys were ready they would nod their head. I guess one guy didn't nod but the starter (bald dude) thought he nodded. So they had a big fight over that. Then the other guy was accused of leaveing early. I couldn't tell. They showed the tape over and over again and I still couldn't tell. They said he left before bald dude's hands came down. So when are they supposed to go? When his hands START to move down or when they hit his legs? I always thought you leave AS SOON AS HIS HANDS MOVE. That's what they've always done before. AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, ALL THIS CRAP AT THE LINE WOULD BE ELIMINATED IF THEY WOULD USE THE TREE AND BRACKET RACE TO GET THEIR QUEER LENGTHS!!!!!!

I know they try to have the whole "nostalgic" aspect of them using a starter but, all it's done is cause problems.

I missed it last night

Pinks last night was awesome!! That T/A kicked that Honda's ass!! That kid (with the Honda) started the negotiation off with an attitude, what a punk. I think it's funny that Rich (bald dude) said "you're representing imports". Yeah, he represented imports alright, the only way he could beat the T/A was to get 20....yes 20 lengths. The T/A only had about 45hp more than the Honda.

The stupid kid didn't even use his slicks until he was down by two races. I also thought it was funny that the T/A guys accused him of granny shifting and he says "that's how I drive". Either that guy thinks the TA guys are stupid or that guy is stupid and DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE!! Or maybe he drives that way so he won't hurt the wimpy little Honda. Sure it was twin turbo and had 600hp but, I was not impressed with the Honda at all. That TA was awesome.

AS ALWAYS, I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK!! Seems like the only two nights I like TV is Wed. for Pinks and Sun. for Hogan knows best, which starts again this week!!! His daughter Brooke is sooo damn hot!!!!

This past episode was all over H-t. The kid addmitted to not getting himself enough seat time. The car wasnt put together very well either. Open diff on a "drag" car? The trans am was a mid 9 sec car at best, detuned to run with the honda. Serves that dumb punk right for getting himself into something way over his head.

20 lengths??

What a waste of TV time.

Yeah, 20 lengths, hell, I bet my Taurus could beat the TA with 20 lengths!! It did feel like a waste cause it wasn't even close. It was great that they did the whole domestic VS. import thing, but the kid didn't even know what he was doin. Hopefully they'll do a Mustang VS. TA/Z28. That would be a better rivalry and show. You'd think with the T/A only having about 45 more horses the Honda could keep up but I guess that just shows how much those cars lack in torque!

banditkiller · #29 03-18-2006, 06:28 PM

NO that poor kid didnt know what he was doing. However, the only defense ill put up in case of the honda is that it is/was a daily driven car with no lsd or suspension mods. One wheel peel's dont get you going anywhere. Ill ty and find the thread on H-T even us honda guys were giving him hell. Put that t/a against a reputable shop. car from over on the west coast and we would have a much better episode. RWD for the win.

That is wishful thinking.

Although...that T/A was basicly a race car. I think even my T/A would have needed a good chunk of lengths to make it an even race at the big end.
Which means it would not have been worth running him.
