Just saw my 1st episode of Velosity's Vinsetta Garage.
Courtney Hasen is smokin and just overall a really cool show.
Vintage rules.

I was actually disappointed; yes, I don't mind seeing more Courtney on the screen at all, but the rest of it was a bit too "chatty", and not as much on interesting cars.

FWIW, the only show I watch now ( except Gold Rush) is the new 1/2 hour show on Velocity about special cars - they did an episode recently about the Air Box Corvette. The broads on these shows are better suited to calenders - I find them annoying.

Vinsetta garage is a bit disappointing to me; to much talk about nothing and not enough about the cars. Courtney is the only saving grace.

Bobbarry,
I'd agree the modern mustang edition at the track today wasn't the best as we are vintage muscle car guys on this site.
But the host is hot and I'm looking forward to their future episodes.
Velosity channel for me in PA is #631 on Verizons Fios television. It is an HD channel so if you stop at 300 channels with no HD service from Verizon you wont have it.

I think need a new host.She may be good looking,but once she opens her mouth it is over.
I do not want to listen to a bimbo that knows nothing about cars host a car show.

She actually is quite knowledgable (she did Overhaulin') and I've seen her on a few other shows and best of all, she's a car nut and probably knows more about cars and working on them than most guys.

I like that show too, pretty cool that the guys bought that Air Box Corvette and ran very well against big name race teams!

Well now that you all got to see her hope this post warmed you all up a little during this winter season.
Her butt is great!, google pics of her and you will get some swim suit and earlier calendar shots.
Also the gal going with the guitar player from ZZ Top is hot and she's a gas *** too. Love cars. Win Win combo.
Ok I'm outta here.

PS: thanks for posting the pic qtlow. My dipstick is a qt over full now

Its an HD Channel, they mostly have car shows, and also show the Mecum auctions. 844 on Xfinity I believe. During my recovery thats the only channel I watched my wife hates that Channel now lol.

What is now known as "Velocity" channel was Discovery HD Theater up until Jan. 1. As it turned out most of the programming is automotive in nature, and most of it is pretty high-quality stuff. I happen to like "Chasing Classic Cars"; the whole Vinsetta Garage thing seems too much like a bunch of magazine writers sitting around telling themselves how smart they think they are. Velocity is kind of a look into what Speed could have been-er-SHOULD have been until Fox bought it and subsequently destroyed it...

You have obviously never heard of her KICKASS dad Jerry Hansen. One of the FASTEST Big Bore SCCA racers from the late 70's. This girl knows about cars, she grew up at the racetrack

Default Cut The Gal Some Slack

Hey C'Mon Fellas,
She is at least hands on in the program.
The lovely Irish Las on What's My Car Worth?, just MC's the show.
That show is cool depending which car they are reviewing.
Some of the cars like the air stream trailer car that didn't sell bored me.
So it used to be Discovery HD huh? Interesting!! I either wasn't paying much attention before the 1st of this year or I never watched Discovery HD before.
Wheeler Dealers are both weenies too
