EF347 · 11-01-2008, 08:51 PM

Probably opening a huge can of worms here,(for all the AFF experts) but do you think this would take of in OZ. What name would you give it if it was introduced Down Under??

What do you live in a box mate. Fox Sports channel 1/4 mile racing in the good old US OF A. Prize money for the quickest 16 after elimination - $10k. Mostly 9.5 to 10.5 sec cars good watch some excellent machines.

**GasoLane** · 11-01-2008, 09:01 PM

It's a guessing game, right?

And thats the first question ?

Living in a box = No. Just have better things to do with my time than sitting in front of the idiot box and paying for what im watching. What's your point.

Basically its racing for pink slips. Guys build up cars and race them. 3 runs and the winner gets the other car. There are all sorts of stupid rules involved. Its a crap show and not one id pay to watch.

I only know about it from HYBRIDZ where they built up a car and ran it. Watched it on youtube to see how it went.

Thank you crusher for explaining it. EF347, take a leaf out of crusher's book. You will get a lot more positive posts if you explain in your opening thread what it is that you are talking about. No offence intended. Cheers, Adam.

Keep your pantyhose on and it's a TV not an idiot box...and if I can afford the luxury I will...I thought an example of this would present well in Aus, just wanted some [B]constructive feedback (next post please) and take everyones mind of the Orion release HA HA. Livin in a box is just a saying....keep the adrenelin levels low NostalgEA

Sounds interesting............

But to answer your question it would not take off here as we have not got the population to support it..........

Not enough rich car freaks that can afford to loose money like the yanks can

EF347 · 11-01-2008, 09:27 PM

The show I am refering to is not as crusher explained it's up a level from that and quite good. Similar americans to oursleves(their passion for horsepower and presentable rides anyway - hate their louuuud accent but..) taking pride in their projects and some of them are full on, wouldn't you run a couple of 1/4's for the chance at 10k....if you had a 10sec pride of joy

EF347 · 11-01-2008, 09:29 PM

You don't lose money or property - just turn up go as hard as you can (dial in) and go from there - if you win ......you win.
I must be the only person who watches it sorry guys

SVTVNM · 11-01-2008, 09:45 PM

I think anything car orientated in Australia has problems taking off or becoming a reality, networks don't think they will see a return, more people want to watch people singing,dancing or generally acting like tossers. I mean with enough financial backing I think Australia could produce a kick car flick. Even though there are some new car shows in the works. But there are alot of rules and regulations that the US producers don't have to abide by, in terms of what you show people doing in cars on TV, unfortunately we have to many cry babies in this counrty.

zetec · 11-01-2008, 09:50 PM

Watching people compete for pink bits in the box? Sounds interesting...

qwertyu1234567 · 11-01-2008, 09:51 PM

I'm in bed by midnight most nights Ef347, wink.

cob115 · 11-01-2008, 09:56 PM

i was over for christmas and let me say first the yanks are nice people,hell yea,2nd you have got to watch it ,(PINKS)

blueoval · 11-01-2008, 10:16 PM

yeah I've watched a couple of episodes.

I reckon you'd struggle getting people racing for ownership though. Thats a big bet!

Then whats the difference in doing this and getting your car crushed by the blue brigade? :P:P

anyhoo, back on topic. I'd love to see it, but there would have to be some serious feasibility studies made prior to production.

Bossxr8 · 11-01-2008, 10:38 PM

Pinks all out. Thats a porno isn't it.

LOL i was just thinking the same thing, if i was flicking through foxtel and saw PINKS ALL OUT I'd think its a lesbian fest or something hehe, any way sounds interesting and you have to give anyone credit that would hand over thier car that they've spent dollars on to the winner of a drag race

blueoval · 11-01-2008, 10:54 PM

I reckon if it said PINK BITS ALL OUT then there would be a reason for extra male interest. lol

Hence my reason for biting in post # 2. I didnt want to start talking vag if the thread was intended for something else.

Geez Louise · 11-01-2008, 11:08 PM

GreenMachine39 · 11-01-2008, 11:24 PM

BFYOOT · 11-01-2008, 11:34 PM

have seen a couple of these episodes. one episode had this car nicknamed the "wooly mammoth", basically looked like the dog car in dumb and dumber without the floppy ears. bloody quick car but!!

Jayden · 12-01-2008, 04:35 AM

would this be the one where they once made up old VW beetle drag cars? Its basically a game show isnt it? it wasnt their car / parts or workshop but the winner kept both cars if they won.
