Here in Kansas City on Dish the velocity channel is on 246.

Watch shows like A$$ Monkey Garage and cars that were sold previously are still in the shop. That tells me the customer returned the car or the sale was fictitious. That Richard Rawlings is a self-centered joke.

Yea discovery and history used to be good cool to watch channels that didnt have alot of drama - mainly informational or learning about something someone or an event. Whoever owns them is greedy and wants to make shows that have drama kinda like a soap opera for guys to keep people glued to the tv.

Main reason why i dont have cable or satelite and rarely ever watch tv. About the only car show i watch is Top Gear UK. Yes i know some of it is scripted and whatnot but at least they do go to random places around the world and have all sorts of challenges. That and get to see cars ill never be able to buy lol.

Thats why its called the boob tube!!(Remember when there was no boobs on TV and it was still called the boob tube) Pete

During the last blizzard here in the sandhills of North Carolina I watched about half of the Motor Trend Roadkill series on youtube. Some of the episodes were very good and some were just goofy. I does prove the fact that a person can have a good job, good education, live in California and still be a redneck at heart.

I noticed stuff like that on American choppers too. They would build bikes for a client yet they would have them stored in their garages after the owners took delivery. I always wondered why that was. On a side note, my Tudor was briefly shown on a episode of Gas monkey Garage so that's pretty cool to me. Technically I could say millions of people have seen my Model A.

"Fast and Loud". The fast are his dealings and the loud is his ever moving mouth.

My favorite show is called "IN MY GARAGE", and since I dumped television a few years ago, its on almost every day.
lots more stuff gets done now.

We've got Dish. Number 246 is not in our list, it skips it completely. I guess its not available in Alabama.

I looked it up. Unless you purchase their HD package you don't get Velocity Channel.

I am thinking of changing to DISH, but on their web site I have not been able to find Velocity which is the channel most of these shows are on.

I've got the HD package and still no Velocity or channel 246. I'll have Deb look in to it again.

[dankurth]

For old cars, especially A's, you can't top "The Waltons", still being shown on the Hallmark chanel.

Thanks Mike V. , You've helped me a lot again !!!!!!! It showed up on screen that we had the HD package. We paid for the HD package but still didn't have channel 246 with velocity. Deb called Dish, they appologised and said that it was a glitch in the system. They said that they will give me an additional 12 months free. I'm sorta watching it now. American car prospector is on now. Without your advise we probably would never have looked into it , now i'll have a bunch of good stuff to watch.Thanks again.

Heads up! Tuesday night Rays show will have a feature on The Vanderbilt Cup Races on Long Island. this is fast becoming the car show to watch. Bob http://americarnatv.com/hosts/

Americarna. The episodes I 've seen were real interesting. No drama. No phony time lines, no BS just a good car show. The '40 Ford Coupe story and NASCAR was top notch.

I'm with Wick. I' m sure that guy on Graveyard Cars is just a put-on, the cheap drama angle like Coddington used to abuse his guys. just about any of the guys on here would tell that jerk to stick it, IF he was really like that.
