I looked on TV as far as I could go and didn't see it on again. Shows is about actor Eric Bana who had a car since 16 and kept it many years and then raced it. I will not say more.

Like me I get attached to cars and equipment in my business like my 1984 GMC 7000 flat bed I have had since new Still has the same exhaust on it

My wife and I watched it earlier this week - we enjoyed it. It's a great story about how an actor restored his favorite car from his youth (same one used in Mad Max), got into motorsports - mostly rally events, shared the experience with his friends over the past many years. Definitely worth viewing.

I saw it, great show. Hope to tape the January rerun cause I don't have TIVO. And the point made at the end, that he probably should not have run his pride and joy in that type of racing really hit home. I have always loved the XB but was a Holden man. Had an EJ and a Monaro, but was in love with the huge **** on the XB :-)

I knew it was coming up but went brain-dead and missed the first hour of it. Really nice photography, none of this modern stupid zoom, tilt, and make everyone know you're using a handheld camera getting candid shots.

Not going to tell anything about the story, but it's well worth your time.

I'll definitely get it again on the 3rd.

Have a Merry Christmas!
Mike
