SPEED Channel's "Test Drive" - test the 991
 

Didn't know it was going to be aired last night, but since I have the series locked in to be recorded, I awoke this morning to a pleasant surprise.

Drinking a cup of coffee watching many household names run the 991 through its paces.. not much better than that on an early Sunday morning.

It's scheduled to be aired again this afternoon (Sunday) at 5:30. :cool:

991 on SPEED

Thanks for letting us know about the replay at 5:30. I will set the DVR!

Ditto and ditto!

OK...So it could be me or even Time Warner Cable, but I've scrolled through two weeks of future shows on SPEED TV HD.
(Channel 468 HD Time Warner Cable, West Coast) and I don't see this show listed.
Now just in-case they do a programming switch-I'll be glued to SPEED-TV all day, (It's raining Cats and Dogs outside anyway-Yup here in Sunny Cali)
I can happily watch the F1 Grand Prix race again and hopefully the TEST DRIVE show will pop up.

If anyone is reading this and is on the West Coast with Time Warner as the cable provider-feel free to chime in.

Thanks and drive safe.

Shows up on my guide for 2:30pm (Pacific) today. DirecTV 607. Speed Test Drive: Porsche 911.

Interesting-
I guess Time Warner isn't listing it.
It's 2:25 (WST Coast time now) I'll see what Speed TV is showing next.
I seriously need that Car in my life.

Well what do you know....
Time Warner have the show listed as "SHUT UP AND DRIVE" with NO mention of it being a test drive of the new 911.
Glad I kept the DVR set to record.

Wait Whaaaaaaaat..?

So I'm watching the test drive featuring the new 911 about 10 mins in, they cut to a NASCAR ALERT-they go to a looong comercial and come back to the NASCAR ALERT with an interview with Tony Stewart-never returning to the 911 Test drive.

Well I just hope I can find the 911 show in full online somewhere.
Did this happen to anyone else..?

The show was interesting. They showed Graham Rahal talking about how great the 991 is, but he posted on Teamspeed that it has lost his edge. Maybe he likes it for the same reason I do, the Jekyll and Hyde personality (instead of just one personality).

Me too:mad:

Friggin Speed channel. 10 minutes in and nascar here too.

They cut into the 991 road test and went to NASCAR -- incredible.

NASCAR - the blunt force trauma of auto racing. What a joke.

Graham posted last November that he was getting a R8:

Wonder if he still has it. He was gung ho over it back in November.

I'm not sure it's jekyll and hyde for Rahal....the team speed review, which I believe more than TV is pretty clear that at his level its a DD only...

i find that very interesting.
