We recently got a new home theater system, from fellow PCA member Greg Biehl's company, Innovative Lifestyles, and now can watch HDTV. This has allowed us to catch episodes of Chasing Classic Cars on Discovery HD. CCC is a show about an old friend of ours, Wayne Carini. We first met Wayne in the early 1980's after my mother's 928 was rear ended. Wayne runs one of the best restoration shops in the country, F40 Motorsports (http://www.f40.com/). My 1978 930 has been there for 3 years now undergoing a full restoration. I recently shipped my 1994 3.6 turbo there for a restoration as well. Wayne assures me the 930 will be done by the end of the year. We shall see.
I saw Wayne over the summer and he was being followed around by a film crew. He gave me DVD's of the episodes that had been filmed so far, since we did not get HDTV at the time. CCC follows Wayne as he goes to auctions to buy and sell cars, travels to remote locations to try and procure rare cars, and follows the restoration work done in his shop in Portland, Connecticut. In one episode, "Herb's Ferrari", you can see my 930 in the background of the shop. New episodes air Tuesdays at 10:30 pm, with the previous weeks episode repeated at 10:00 pm right before the new episode. This weeks new episode, "Hunt for the Davis" features a 3-wheeled car called the Davis that Wayne showed us when we were at his shop over the summer. Episode 9 is titled "Porsches Porsches Porsches" and should air November 25th at 10:30 pm. The website for the show is http://turbo.discovery.com/chasing-classic-cars/chasing-classic-cars.html .
