Tetsu0san Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Hi all I got hold of 'A 4x4 is Born' just after I got my first Discovery and watched it with great interest. Since then I got hold of all the other Mark Evans DVD's and although not 4x4 related they are also very interesting with a good deal of information and tips for repairing, restoring and renovating cars. I also started to watch 'Wheeler Dealers' which is quite good and I am thirsty for more! Are there any other DVD's, TV shows etc that anyone can recommend that are in a similar vein to the Mark Evans videos? Anything car related, rebuilding, renovating, repairing etc. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I was going to say, we can sell you a DVD or two although we're not "fully extreme" like Mr Evans' build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsu0san Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Cheers FridgeFreezer, I have already seen your stuff (and downloaded it from YouTube for future refence) and very nice it is too. How much are your DVD's though? I am keen to get whatever I can. A few years ago I bought a greenlane movie from fleabay which was basically just a camera on the dashboard of a series landy going for about an hour. It was still good to watch though. I have seen the American Hotrod episodes on the Discovery channel, but never heard of most of the other ones listed on this thread. I am going to get trawling with this info and see what comes up. The other thing is that interesting is the Mark Evans stuff when it was on the TV has a load more stuff in it than the retail DVD's. More laughs as well as more information on what is going on. Although I own the DVD's I have found somewhere where I can download all the TV episodes so I can see the in-between bits which gets more watching than the DVD's. Any more ideas will be gratefully received Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve b Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Has anyone got a copy of the original Darien Gap Expedition by Blashford-Snell? Its been years since I saw it at a local club film night in 8mm cine with sound , a superb adventure Camel trophy vids are worth looking for too , the first 10 years are the best. Transylvania trophy, Dresden-Breslau, Mangam Trophy(Poland) , 4x4earth.com.au has some good stuff ,even some Tay Forest Challenge clips cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren Frimodt Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 There goes the weekend..... Thanks Yes that is VERY good entertainment, have been watching it for a year now. But the episodes are too short Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Train Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 How about a Massey-Fergassion 135 restoration DVD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_P Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Camel trophy vids are worth looking for too , the first 10 years are the best. They're also the hardest to get hold of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I've found a few lurking around the internet, but indeed, they're hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProteuS Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Although it isn't strictly builds, if you really want alot to watch. all the episodes of the australian channel 4wdtv's show are on wasabi tv. something like 800 or so shows. They even venture to the uk a couple of times to cover some winch challenges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gruntus Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I was going to say, we can sell you a DVD or two although we're not "fully extreme" like Mr Evans' build Fridge, are you allowed to divulge (to the nearest £1000) how much such a peice of art costs to manufacture? If its like asking a lady how old she is I will take the point Its great to see your vids of real people doing the work rather than the usual magazines, open cheque book and "I took this off, it wasn't up to scratch so we sent it to get replaced/repaired, then we bolted it all back together" You have a very enviable workshop as well!
