Victory By Design on Speed!!!
happened to be flipping through the channels today, and I came across a show called Victory By Design on Speed Channel. This has to be one of the most awesome shows I have EVER watched. The episode I saw was the history of Ferrari. The guy doing the talking started with the earliest example of Ferrari, and got to drive it, and all of the other examples of Ferrari history.
Each Ferrari he drove was probably worth over $2-3 million dollars. And he was driving the **** out of them. The sound and production of this show was top notch. You not only got the history of each car, you got to see the motor of each, and then go for a ride in the car and got in car camera action.
If you ever have a chance, watch this show. It will give you a greater respect of automobiles and the history of great companies as Ferrari, Maseratti, Jaguar, etc. And turn up the volume on the TV, as well as turn on the surround sound. They did an exceptional job with recording the sound of these cars. And I was giggling like a girl when the driver would open up some of these cars on the track. There is no better sound than a V-12 powered machine.

Alain De Cadenet may not be Tiff or Clarkson, but he's still awfully amusing!

Alain De Cadanet has the best job on earth. Let's see, I get to drive around tremendously exciting race cars, but I don't have to worry about winning a race (at the penalty of losing my job). I'm paid for talking about the things I love most on earth, and I probably only work about 10 days a month!
