Penny and Bill Howell's PT cars will be on Top Gear US tonight

[Bill Howell]

Tuesday, 9pm est on History channel
There may be cars on this show you recognize, set your dvr just in case....:headbang:

[Bonehead]

I tried. I really did. But I cant stand any of those lame hosts. I'll watch TG UK reruns on BBC. Far more entertaining.

[Bill Howell]

I am watching the BBC version right now. I love that show and you are correct, better than the US version but when my car is going to be on the show, I guess that made a difference for me. :)

[Larry Callahan]

I think I recognize a couple of those cars!

Well hell, I'm a rookie. What car should I be looking for? I can mute the morons and enjoy the view!

Bad Penny (camaro) and my charger

[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

Should be fun

[BMR Sales]

I hope Tanner Faust is not driving them - otherwise you are going to need some new tires!

[Sales-TCI-Eng]

Been looking forward to this one.

All three cars would be well-loved in my shop. Can't wait to see the show tonight. Gotta say the front end of that Charger is just sinister ...

The wife already has the dvr set. Looks like it will be a fun episode.

[Rifleman_Racing]

Just watched it, it was a good episode. No major spoilers but one of them drags the rear bumper of a viper powered challanger at the end. I like where this season is going.

Theres totally a HD torrent you can download if you do that kind of thing.

I've just gotta say, Steve, you and Bill are nuts! I would say the owner of the Mustang is nuts too, but I don't know who he is. I would be hard pressed to let someone else drive my car the way these guys did! And another thing.. The announcer comes up with something like this "this car belongs to a guy named Bill from Tennessee". That's it? could they not at least give you guys a kudo and at least given you guys first and last names and where your from. I didn't even hear Steve's name (or the guy with the Mustang) mentioned. I will admit I might of missed it but don't think so. It was a good show and I know you guys are proud to have your achievements on television. And yes, Tanner did drive one, and yes I do believe it's going to need tires.
All in all, congratulations guys. By the way, who does own the Mustang?

[efs69]

All three cars looked great. Wish they would have showcased the cars and their performance capabilities and not just roast the tires off and fill them with flies.

[alocker]

Man the script on that show is horrible. Loved the cars though.

[rickpaw]

I watched the episode mainly for the cars. I had hoped they would go into details of each car (mod/suspension). But having not watched US version before, I didn't know what to expect. Wondered who owns the Mustang as well. Is he going to have the tire replaced by the show?

To be honest though, I fell asleep 20 minutes into it. I enjoyed the British version better.

[benno505]

Yeh, like he said, awesome cars and episode. If I was the owner of the cars I would be wanting some good coin for new tyres, clutches and other parts as the fat dude doesn't know how to shift a stick. and that mustang gets a thrashing. that charger sounded absolutely mean

[SLO_Z28]

The stang is a spec car made by:http://www.classic-recreations.com/

[Red67Mustang]

Cool show last night... Too bad no plug for Pro-Touring.com!

Question; Did they tell you beforehand that they'd be filling your car with flies?

[Steve1968LS2]

All three cars looked great. Wish they would have showcased the cars and their performance capabilities and not just roast the tires off and fill them with flies.

Or call my engine an LS2.. ack! I gave then a complete tech rundown.. oh well.. that's TV for ya.. The show is very low-brow in terms of cars.. more about the laugh factor.. was still a hoot to see her on the tube in HD

[Steve1968LS2]

Oh, the production company offered tires to us..

And that Stang catching up in the open race was pure fantasy.. but again, that's TV for ya.

[Steve1968LS2]

Man the script on that show is horrible. Loved the cars though.

Yea, I found that somewhat disapointing.. but they were working with the cards they were dealt.. Adam never had a chance since he didn't have his NHRA license so there was no way he could race at the Gatornationals.. so Penny's fate was sealed from the beginning.

My favorite is the open drag deal.. and Tanner saying "My God that Camaro is fast!!".. lol

[Y-TRY]

It was just fun seeing y'all's cars on there. Congrats! Even though they don't know it, the masses got a glimpse of what this crazy PT community is up to with our cars.

I, too, like the BBC version but I think Jeremy and friends would still dish out their car-snobbery on everything showcased lastnight. Big cams rattle their tea cups too much.

[BMR Sales]

and Tanner saying "My God that Camaro is fast!!".. lol

:cool:

[Steve1968LS2]

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

[cjrolke]

very cool to see those cars on there last night

bad penny rocks

[rlodad]

alocker,
I couldn't have phrased it better myself. They put the worst driver in the best car (Sorry, I'm another Chevy owner...) and then, instead of racing the protouring cars (that they call restomods) they put Foust in a car he can barely handle and the other guy in a car he can't do anything with except wheel stands and rolling down the strip with his foot off the gas. I can't understand the point of the start and stop electrocution scene, and it was the only race scene with the protouring cars. At least the UK version has automotive writers as writers and as presenters so they have a good script (and a funny one).

Well, it was great to see you guys show off your cars- now they should hire you as consultants to make the show interesting.

[Bob in St. Louis]

I tried to DVR it last night, but the show description had nothing to do with PT cars.
I hope it was just an error on the part of the TV Guide.

[minendrews68]

see I was right. Like everyone else, I think you guys should've been brought more into the picture.

In case any one wants to watch it that couldn't.

Loved watching Penny! My ten year old boy got a real eye opener watching these three cars! You guys must be so proud?
