    What kind of show do you guys want to see on TV?

    Car related, adventures, what?

    If DF and I were doing another show, what would you guys suggest?

    Trust me, we have plenty in our pocket, but I want to know what you guys think.

        An 'in the field' documentary of drag week would be cool.

        Something that showcased a different kind of motorsport every week would be cool...
        Rally
        autocross
        drag
        road course
        mudbog
        24 hours of lemons
        tuff truck
        truck pulls
        swamp buggies
        drag boats
        ...

        And - you should crush stuff or burn stuff every show - like the piston in the press in the avatar above....

        or running nitro in a 2 stroke snow blower ;D

            what Milner said.


            I think you and DF have what it takes to put on a GOOD TV show. You just need to break through the BS and be allowed a little space... and not just because you're likely to set shit on fire either.

                You guys have already done it, we just need more. I enjoyed every one of these and if you just expanded on it you'd have it nailed.

                Just groovin' to my own tune.

                    this would be cool, if it highlighted the reg guy not the pro's in the fields
                    a long term project..
                    that you dump an engine in, flogg it, the do tech stories on installing a ms style efi then flog it, then tech on a turbo then flog it..
                    with the + &-'s of use'n that tpye injector, wastegate, etc
                    when a standard intake gasket will not take anymore psi..
                    does sizing a throddle body make a difference under the peak.(n/a).
                    just how much puddling happens in an efi system that uses batch fire. over senquental.
                    just how long can you push the duty cycle of in injector before it, hurts power..

                      Don't limit the production with
                      just building engines

                      Suspension, chassis info is cool

                      Show all the new stuff available now that
                      allow easier motor and tranny installs
                      into older rides

                      Maybe a 'viewer's ride' segment where
                      guys send in info on their particular projects

                      Just my two cents

                        I think you and DF should do a show about what you're most interested in - not what we think you're interested it.

                        For me, the shows I enjoy the most are where the presenters are letting you in on their fun (e.g. Top Gear, Warren Miller ski films, etc). You and DF do what most people want to do and while it isn't movie/tv material, with a bit of creative writing it could be a fictionalized account of what you do.... plus, I totally think you could build a better motorhome then the hacks on Top Gear did.... ;D

                          Aother Vote for Car Junkie type show.

                          City to City on Power Tour.

                          +10 for Drag Week TV,my version would need at least 4 or 5 ride along crews,different cars/classes.

                          Maybe a Carb v FI shoot out to the death.....sorry.

                            One rule of the show should be that no parts are used in a project without disclosing the COSTS!

                            and the Monster garage "Freebie" BS is a no no.

                            if you're building it - we want to know how you're doing it - the problems you've had in the process, cool tips and tricks to troubleshoot your way around problems, and - the COST of those cool tools and parts you're employing.

                            Stacey David shows some cool stuff on Gearz - but never ever tells you how much the stuff costs --- which leaves me with the thought "sure i could build that if I had a million dollars"

                            Stacey David's "readers rides" or whatever he calls it is cool, - after all - this aint a spectator sport!
