On the TV channel "Discovery" there is one direction, especially attractive for men (although the beautiful half of humanity is interested in this is not prohibited by this). These are transmission about cars.
The most famous project from the BBC channel is "Top Gir". He turned into a global brand. There is a magazine, global shows and so on. Its participants, thanks to the wide fame of the program, were able to launch their own projects.
We will not dwell on this gear in detail. We note only the specific English humor and charismaticness of the leading. And that, and the other can not like everyone. In addition, this show has certain rules. For example, in the plot must be expensive or very expensive cars.
Therefore, let's talk about worthy alternatives that another TV channel provides "Discovery". One way or another, we will try to find something new and interesting from the world of cars.
"Fast and loud": easier, more affordable, more interesting (place of action - USA)
This television show is built around the restoration of classic cars, not the most budget, but first of all - "fast and loud". That is, we are talking about such machines that like most Americans.Each program tells the history of the car, and the humor of the leading Richard Rowlings and his team makes watching very fascinating.
Later, additional transmissions appeared. According to the plot, the former team of the leading opens its company - "rebellious garage". In the future, they periodically compete. And the famous and unique mechanic of Aaron Kaufman appears its own cycle - "the steep work of Aaron Kaufman", "steep turn of Aaron Kaufman."
The most interesting thing is that the workshop shown in the transmissions is quite real. You can even find their website online with auto offers (there is also information about the show).
"Rusty Empire": the history of one company (the place of action - the USA)
In this program, the scale of the automotive enterprise is much more and show us a lot of details - from daily work to distressed situations in different departments.
The main hero of the transfer - Andy, the owner of two companies at once. This car dealership "Damascus Motors" and disassembling cars. The last company organized his father, Bobby. And Andy expanded the case to a full-fledged company.
The place where the machines are disassembled, one could call the word "dump", but Andy offended by such a designation. In fact, this is a whole "world of auto parts", where everything is in its place where you can find the most rare parts and cars in varying degrees of fitness.
Each series typically includes two projects - a relatively standard order and another creative experiment. The last most often comes up with Andy, but sometimes ideas thrown into the Bobby (when comes comes).
To a certain extent, the show can be called the "documentary production series".
"Steel guys": where to buy an unusual car (a place of action - Germany)
The company's sphere is military vehicles (from trucks to tanks). (You can find their website and, as they say, "Call - you know everything.") The head of this enterprise, Michael Manusakis - the personality of colorful.The whole technique is purchased in different parts of the world. One of the largest suppliers is the US Army, which sells written off property, including cars. Something is purchased in Germany, in Eastern Europe, in the Middle East.
The company then leads the machines in order and sells to a variety of customers, again around the world.
Amazing how many people buy restored technique are different. It may be a young man who gives parents the first car (of course, the American jeep!), The company for the conversion of autofursors, the buyer of huge tank trucks for Afghanistan or filmmakers from Germany, who are needed as a scenery are completely non-sustainable cars.
In addition, the company sells spare parts and deals with a variety of repairs.
For example, by alteration of a military truck under a family car. Or permuting the Austrian engine to the Russian armored personnel carrier. Somehow, the Englishman who lives in Germany turned to Michael. He acquired the English tank "Centurion" in their company and asked to make the car sometimes moved, otherwise it will be considered real estate.
It happens that the technique needs to be restored. You can say this is already production. But individual.
Another area of activity of the company is to sell the most written off property from the American army. And we are talking not only about cars, but literally about everything - from slippers to expensive equipment.
"Machinators": We are looking for, repairing, selling (scene - United Kingdom, USA and other countries)
And so we returned to the UK again. The leaders in this program are two - the seller and the mechanic, which in the last seasons "updated".
Poster to t / s "Machinators", 2003 Photo: kinopoisk.ruIn the transfer, many technical details, we show all the steps of the car repair. "Plus" or "minus" - the question is individual.
Periodically, the concept of the season changed. For example, the task was to "find a car for a certain amount" (from 1000 to 5,000 pounds). Then there were other budgets, the transfer was transferred to America.
The most interesting show, in my opinion, was an international tour ("Great Machinator"), whose purpose was to make money on an expensive sports car (first season). Something like the automotive analogue of the "world inside out".
Programs about cars on the TV channel "Discovery" a lot, and for every taste. For example, Cuban Chrome, talking about the difficult life of the car repair shop in Cuba. And recently launched an interesting program "Women's Automaster". In general, the viewer is interested in what to choose from.
