Bad Penny and Bill Howell's Mopar on Top Gear US tonight (tuesday)

[Steve1968LS2]

Just a heads up.. tonight (tuesday) at 9pm eastern (6pm Pacific) on the History Channel.

Sure it's silly, sure it's scripted to some extent.. but I look forward to seeing my car in HD.

Oh, there's some stunt involving filling the car with thousands of flies.. ick

Yeah but did they find all the business cards.....

[CamaroMike]

Could be worse than flies!

[Steve1968LS2]

Yeah but did they find all the business cards.....

Yea, they just followed the flies.. ;)

[SSLance]

Just logged in and set the DVR to record it just in case I forget by tonight.

Thanks for the heads up.

[Ron in SoCal]

Awesome Steve!

[Al Moreno]

Very cool!!! Penny's has always been one of my favorite builds. Hope all is well with you Steve considering the recent news of Camaro performer. Good luck, hoping you moved to a new title.

[Steve1968LS2]

This video is completely awsome sauce..

Love the gunfighter music..

Someone figure out a way to post the episode for me to see since I don't have TV please. Looks fun!

[ZZ3ElCamino]

Haven't been on here in forever, since I sold my car. Figured I stop in and tell you, your car looks great Steve!

[Ron in SoCal]

"Oh my god that Camaro's fast!"

Yeah, no sh*t :lol:

[Steve1968LS2]

"Oh my god that Camaro's fast!"

Yeah, no sh*t :lol:

That was my favorite part.. lol

Hey, it's "reality tv" so, not very real.. but it was fun and the old girl looked damn good in HD.. :)

[Vince@Meanstreets]

flies....why did it have to be flies.

[rjsjea]

They buy that Mustang a new set of tires?


The cars looked great on TV. Penny's color really looks good in the sunlight

[ADiCarlo]

Does anyone know where I can catch it online?

Wasn't home yet.

[Streetking]

[Steve1968LS2]

Oh, and I'm renaming the car "Bad Chewbacca"

[ADiCarlo]

And now nothing will be done at work for the next hour.

!@#$%^

This is just more inspiration to get my 68 on the road!!!

[Dipped]

Those cars looked amazing. My only issue is the fact that history has chosen to retain the worst cast of presenters. Their terrible writing and horrible "challenges" make me nauseous. Its a shame Top Gear allowed them to desecrate the good name that they have established. I stopped watching this show a long time ago due to the offensive presenters. The awesome cars last night were the only reason I decided to tune in lol

[E.rodz]

stayed up just to see this and now I know why I don't watch TV . I love your car Steve and the other pro touring cars or should I say resto mod cars and was really hoping this is what the show was going to be about some great cornering action! wtf? flies?then were going to a drag race track so I kept watching was hoping for some door to door racing action and not even another mention of the awesome cars that started the show.I hope you were compensated for this! the cars all looked awesome!

[tmadden]

Great show. Bad Penny represented us all to the best degree.

[Gambit]

The preview posted earlier was cool. The history channel link posted doesn't work here in Aus apparently

[GMTILT]

I watched the show, but I did the dvr so I could fast forward through the stupid commercials, man the burnouts were killer in the street of that one town !!!

yeah,,,i know the show is stupid but the cars kick ass !! I will probabaly watch is several more times before I take it off the dvr, mostly cause I luv a 68 Camaro !!!

[Richio1]

Yeah Steve, Bad Penny looked and sounded awesome. Hope you got a free set of tires out of it. Congrats!

[DRJDVM's '69]

Watched it last night...cars looked awesome..

What a dream come true to have your car featured on TV....

Are you still finding dead flies under the seats etc ? :)

Overall, I still think the show is pretty weak...especially compared to the UK Top Gear

[JohnC]

Oh, and I'm renaming the car "Bad Chewbacca"

That was the funniest part to me.... "What is it, Chewie??" Whhhaaaa!!!


The cars really looked great. Congrats, guys...:thumbsup:

[57hemicuda]

I loved the show, I know Yancy, and Bill could not have loved the flies.

Penny looked awesome, but Bill's Charger was the biggest surprise to me. I know I've seen it on TV before, but this was different, I think the camera was trimming, looked like it lost 2000 lbs. After watching the show I want one.LOL

Truly a shame Tanner didn't drive Penny, or Bill's car. Would have been a cooler show. Freekin Adam lifting in a drag race, Pu$$y!

[Steve1968LS2]

Hey, I just like Tanner's line when BP was pulling away.

Oh, the "drag race" was really two shoots.. one for the lanch and then they stopped at the end of the street and went out to another road where they had the fantasy sequence where the Ford caught up.. lol

And it was fun seeing her on the big screen.. old girl still looks good..

She will be back here in a week or so and I will do a very careful inspection for flies..

[Steve1968LS2]

One of my favorite shots.. it only got worse for the Mustang from here.. lol

That was awesome. you can get some great anti squat numbers from that Lateral Dynamics 3 link.

I was kinda hopin the owners would have been able to drive their own cars.
