It's a series where they feature the history of famous automotive marque per episode.

So far they have showcased Ferrari, Aston Martin, Porsche, Jaguar, Maserati, and Alfa.

The host, Alain DeCadanet, drives the main cars of these marques. the best part about the show is the technical quality. You can really hear these wonderful cars being put through their paces. From 1940s Alfas and Aston Martins to their newer cars of today.

Its really awesome. They had a "behind the scenes" show today and it turns out it takes 1 year to produce four episodes.

Marque... That took me a second to figure out.

Anyway, the best show on TV is Good Eats.

This is well done a series devoted to historic racing cars. They drive the same cars that one great races over the years. The host is an accomplished driver, car historian, that drives the cars, at speed, in period attire (goggles, head gear, etc).

Get all 6 in DVD if you have the spare cash. I don't usually buy this kind of stuff cause it's free on The Speed Channel, but in this case the Ferrari and Maserati are mine.

I just got both CD's today. The Ferrari one is great but I wish I had a 5.1 sound system on my TV. Even so, the sound of the Enzio still scared the cats and that alone made it worth the price of admission. ;)
