Yep i've been watching it this last week and its been awesome. Sick of seeing American Chopper on constantly but ahwel.

My friend has SelecTV (like a budget version of Foxtel) and whenever I go round I always try to get a bit of viewing of Discovery Turbo. Unfortunately she doesn't appreciate it as much as me so I don't get to watch it much :(
Its been on SelecTV for quite a while now, you say its new to Foxtel? I reckon I was flicking through and found it a good 6 months ago?

yeah its not bad, some new shows coming in december which should be good. Cant say I am much of a fan of the bike and boat shows though.
Im really looking forward to the wheeler and dealer one, where they restore classics (its got a red 944 on the add).

I've had it for a couple of years- part of a local cable deal through TransAct.
Good to get a bit of a dose of Overhaulin, and a few resto shows, fairly repetitive though. |

alot of the short 'blurbs' between shows feature South Africans.. I'd love to see the shows made in S África make it into the mix of British and American stuff...
Diversity is good

Well I have foxtel but luckily not paying the bill, to put it bluntly I could never see myself paying for it.
Grand Designs is about the only show I watch that isn't on normal TV.

Classic car club is a great show, they reviewed an lamborghini countash and a mid '90s escort cosworth amongst others a couple of days ago. Its great seeing how supercars used to be made.

Select tv's discovery turbo is a couple of years behind. Fifth Gears around 2007 and they keep repeating everything. Showing the same series of Hard Shine for about the third time and they've started the same series we had on a few months ago of Wrecks to riches, Trick my truck, Overhauling, Chop shop etc. Still the most used channel on our tv.
