Thunder Races

Just caught a British show on HD Theater called "Thunder Races". They were modifying classic Minis to do all kinds of crazy things like reverse wheelies.

I just watched it's second playing at midnight. Hard to see them cut up Minis like that, but it looked like each car was a basket case anyway.

I didn't see this thread when I posted mine

HDTHEATOR is really a great channel. It is #1341 on my brighthouse cable. It also shows the "WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIPS" along with many other neat shows. I record all of the shows on this channel pertaining to cars. They do offer other non-car shows but I hardly go for them. They have some of the best car shows on television.(My Opinion)

If you have HD-TV you need to pick up this channel. It is a high definition channel only. It is not on regular TV at all.

I watch this channel every monday and tuesday. They have Motorcycle Mondays and Collector (car) Tuesdays. I love the show "Wheeler Dealers" and "Twist the Throttle." The Isle of Man TT races (motorcycle) are very cool to see as well.

Yep, I'm with you!!

It is a great channel. I have all three days of the World Rally Championship from Portugal on my recorder now. Last week it was from New Zealand. I also like chasing classic cars and rides, American Chopper & Street Customs.
