Actually, it's been on for a good while.
The "Host" is Alain de Cadenet... he's got quite a history actually. He raced a good number of the cars he drives on the show.

I'm totally jealous of that guy. He's driving some of the most legendary sports cars ever. Some of the owners don't drive them at all or very little. I'm ordering the Ferrari episdoe on DVD. In that one, he's 's driving a GTO - from which Pontiac took the name. Since you have to make 100 of a model to own the name, Pontiac - Wangers and DeLorean - used it.
Speed on!
Speed on!

Greetings Everyone ... as usual, a bit of a late response here.
I just wanted to also weigh in in favor of the program VBD on Speed (and oh how I wish it were still "Speedvision".)
I mean, aren't we all just a little bit jealous of Alain de Cadenet! Able to convince owners and museums to allow him skillfully maneuver virtually priceless machinery at eight-tenths along tree lined roads and still narrate pertinent information in his posh accent. Heck ... he could even pass for a Texan. But lest you think the ever cool and unflappable Mr. de Cadenet never gets flustered ... check out this link:

And to make matters worse, he actually now owns one of these beauties. The envy never ends. Well ... I'm off to the FAT show ... Longhorns at 11am ... just doesn't get any better. Drive safe.
JGP

Ranger, that was great! I fully expected it to be a tape of his wheel coming off after crossing the finishing line at Lagona Seca Vintage this year (it was a car he had just purchased and his announcer buddies were getting a big laugh out of it. I don't recall if it was an AR or Mazer but I know he was not happy but there didn't appear to be any real damage; I'm sure he considers himself very lucky it didn't happen at full speed.
Yea, I love the VBD shows. The next is Sat at 11pm with Aston-Martin; it shows again at 2pm on Sun and then Jag is on at 3pm.
