    The were looking for cars in the SE and that may be a reason you didn't get any reply.

    Is that why the did the Ragtop Galaxy from what Connecticut? or new Hampshire?


    Not getting into ANY detail ATM. Was just curious why I got no reply from the person I talked to initially. Thought perhaps his E-mail changed or in fact was new person to contact. You never know. Just found it odd I didn't get any reply what so ever.

    No biggie

    If I were to guess, it was because of the story with the owner's health and the friend offering to tow it down there. :huh:

    So I'm now back to my original question: did I happen to miss a couple episodes, or was the show cancelled?

    OK, so I missed the F100 and the Galaxie. I'll just have to look for those two on reruns.

    Lol you missed 2 of the better ones! I liked the Ford truck the eagle and the galaxy the best.(altho I did not like that they removed the 4x4 on the eagle) Really didn't have a lot of interest in the foreign vehicles at all. Nor did a lot who watched and critiqued the show on the FB page. It's the history channel and the 3 I mentioned are history.

    Don't get me wrong no offence to anyone but I would like to see historically significant American vehicles. And a LOT MORE of the restoration process.

    I feel starting out the first 2 episodes with foreign cars didn't help the show at all.( As stated by people who worked for delorean they were ASSEMBLED in the USA but parts were all from somewhere else)

    Anyone ever hear anymore on this deal? I think it may have been canned?

    I was told that the show actually got good reviews and they may do it again. It was a side project for Rut while there was a break in his schedule between filming Top Gear and his Nascar stuff, so I don't know if or when they will do it again.

    That's Top Gear in the UK. Rut does the Top Gear US version. I think it might still be in the works? Not sure though.
