Okay, if you have time, please also go to the Discovery Channel website and send a polite request to keep the show on the air.

WTF??? I guess watching rednecks throw **** at each other while trying to put as much chrome on two wheels as possible is more popular.

I visited both websites. Hopefully we can get them to keep the show. I have a friend record it for me every week on tivo. He actually ordered his Noble because of that show.

I also have filled out both links
The discovery link I asked if they could show us the full UK version in HD and at a resonable time.
Only time will tell.
I liked Keen eddie when that was on fox and then they cut that cause it was too riskay, but luckily Bravo picked up the rights, and showed the reamining episodes.
The one time I get to actually watch a descent show that I have watched for years and it gets axed, I can't stand baseball, football or Nascar. What is wrong with these people.

They always show stuff at stupid times and wonder why they don't get the ratings
Take WRC for a typical example on Speed 23:00 on a sunday night and then aired again at 3:00 in the morning they'll never get good ratings at those times.
Just cause they don't like it, doesn't mean everyone else feels the same way.
A** holes

Total bummer. One of the few shows I watch on a regular basis, and I make TV for a living. Maybe I need to produce an american equivalent to Top Gear, cause if you ask me, most American produced car tv programs stink.
