Guest goldraven Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 strange, I saw it on just the regular discovery channel, I have just regular cable. He kept shredding the belts and axle keys. pretty cool. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhadman Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Well... It was on Discovery for me, too... just carried by DTV (Satellite). I thought the idea was really neat. I thought the guy was a bit of a tool, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynekarnes Posted June 4, 2005 Author Share Posted June 4, 2005 the times on direct tv are sometimes different on direct than cable. i'll get a phone call from family or friend, telling me a show is on ... but they are on cable ... so ... i check the schedule and because they loop most of the shows on one day every 4 hours or so, i get to watch it later. was a good show ... i wanted to see more of the zx. Seth over at classicz is building an electric 240z. judging by what he has done and anticipates doing ... it is going to be as fast and quick as the stock 240z was when it was new. he's a college student, so he's on a tight time budget as well as funds. i think he said this will be his 4th electric mobile. if i drive electric, i wouldn't mind at all if it was a 240z.
