As title, is there any really good videos that you could watch again or again? Ive seen all the films like Ronin and yes the chases are good but not 'all that'. I even got italian import of "velocita massima" as it had a cossie in it and a lancia delta, but still not that great. Top gear is okay but keeps going off on 55 minute tangents and you get 5 mins of good viewing. 5th gear is dog shit. Could really do with a director on 'our' wavelength that makes an in depth film/video about some proper hardcore cars (not last and the spurious bullshit) and events etc. Nurburg specials with some mad cars and drag events over here with proper fast road cars, you know covering all bases, special one offs. Got to be a market for it, christ, people watch pimp my ride and similar. Or am I missing something?

Anything watched again and again gets boring IMHO

we'll never get a proper show with a top gear style big budget aimed at the real enthusiasts as its too niche a market, things like top gear make commerical sense just cause they appeal to a broader audience.

Top gear is mainly just shite these days really, all these blatantly staged races are SO boring, still worth watching for the occasional bit about cars, but its 95% just a light entertainment show and one thats gone stale IMHO

No what your saying, didnt really mean again and again, more actually worth your time to watch. Some of the "best motoring" from japan are quite a good watch when they have grudge matches on track and it shows the pedal box and stuff like that, just a shame you cant understand a word their saying!

The gobstopper vid is a couple of minutes of good footage

getaway is boring, the one with the ecos and supra is okish but the subsequnt ones get boring after a minute. Appreciate the skill and sheer recklessness but its not that interesting. Just hankering for something thats informative and interesting at same time.

What about high octane (well I think thats what its called), only ever seen a couple of trailers,

2 fast 2 real (never seen it personally, but I wouldn't mind)

Good old totb dvds

there is a real lack of good car footage other than youtube, I like the touge racing footage.
