I used to watch this back when it first started. Glad to see it's still on TV and I now have it on DVR so I can keep up with the episodes. I even got to meet John Davis and Pat Goss at the 2006 DC Car Show.

This show goes a lot futher back than 1987. In fact I think it was started around 1980.

I thought so too. Trying to think back I thought it was about 83-85 when i first started watching this show. PBS website says 1981, so i'll change it.

Top Gear is better.

Neptune US

This show is not in competition with Top Gear.

I watch Top Gear when I want a good laugh from Jeremy’s comical actions.
Not when I want to know something about a car they feature.

When I want to learn something tangible about a new or upcoming vehicle, I turn to Motorweek or other shows just like it.
Motorweek is a lot more serious when it comes to testing new vehicles (they actually give detailed information about the cars they feature)

I've been watching this show since the begining. They even featured my '60 Edsel as "Car of the Week" in episode 32 of season 19. I still have the videotape. Met Pat Goss at a car show a while back.

Yes, but was it from a full episode that they show on TV (they last 25 minutes or so) or from a shorter video just featuring the one car (usually 3-6 minutes long)?

Sorry but we have to be more strict when talking about loaded non-fiction pages like this.

2022-10-17 19:07

Of note, the last few contributions I made to this page came from the Motorweek live streams. They are done by seasons, so that part is correct, however, they do not give episode numbers like they do for the 'Retro Review' uploads on their channel, and finding descriptions for these old episodes can be difficult. So, I just left the episode numbers as 'xx'.

Yes, the admins discussed, and we will keep the 3-star cars, but not the 1 or 2-star. If you want to move some of the rare or unusual ones to the comments first, then delete them, that works. Not sure if I have to open the page for that? Let me know.
