Hi Guys,

It is a 13 part series about the inner workings of Grand Tourer Restorations. It will be a great viewing. Hopefully get heaps of viewers so Neil can do a 2nd series. Below is a trailer; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6wwq52o5m8

As I was the very lucky winner of FREEHO I can attest to first hand, the quality and true craftsmanship that Neil, Dan and the boys put into their work at GrandTourer Restorations.
The TV series can only enhance further their already impeccable reputation as one of Australia's premier car restoration shops Cheers Colin

If anyone can't get C31, after the forth episode they will release a DVD. You will be able to purchase it through the Grandtourer web site. 3 DVD's will be released during the course of the series.
Colin, good to see you still have the car and it didn't go to someone out to make some quick dollars. I hope your putting plenty of miles on the clock. |

As I mentioned before here in the bush we get 9 SBS frequencies, but not 44 and no channels here have a 'C' prefix, as in C31
Are there different channel numbers for different areas, or am I just being thick? ![]()

FREEHO will not ever be sold guys. I've done nearly 1000 miles on it since winning it and it drives so smoothly, it's like John Bowe said, better than new!
Grand Tourer certainly know what theyre doing when it comes to building up replicas and restoring real ones, just like we're about to find out in the forthcoming TV series. Thanks guys, I will look after FREEHO and drive it likes it meant be driven!

Neil is a very nice bloke and I saw him at the FPV Open Day last week, where he gave me a heads up about the show.
I reckon it'll be very good watching. GK

It will only be shown in Melbourne on Wednesday and will be on in other states soon.
You can stream the show from the C31 website on Wednesday night at 8-00pm. |

Be worth a look. But I don't think we don't get that particular channel in Newcastle.
