jellyfish Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Just to let you all know that the TV series "A Race Car is Born" is being repeated on Discovery Turbo from 14th Jan. This is the one where the chap builds a Westie from scratch. Probably a bit too basic for many of the seasoned builders here, but I for one will be watching. http://www.discoveryuk.com/tv-guide/?type=day&channel_code=TUUK-ENG&filter=0600&date=14012015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooch Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 This has been on a virtually continuous loop (along with the rest of the '....Is Born) series on Quest for years. I confess, it was watching this series that made me want to build my own Westfield, so it was great publicity for WF. It the light aircraft I want to do next, but SWMBO is putting her foot down....

GuitarmanUK Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I have the Race Car is Born and a Plane is Born on DVD and do like to watch them from time to time. I also have the one Mike Brewer did when building a Westfield Hayabusa which is also fun to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SootySport Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 The whole series of the "Born" programmes are also on You Tube, so you can watch them when you like https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Mark+evans+a+race+car+is+born+ They are a bit fragmented but search around for complete shows, they are there somewhere.

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Dvd is pants compared to the series! How so? (I've occasionally thought of buying the DVD's as a rainy day thing!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarmanUK Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 The DVDs have bits missing. For example, on the Plane is Born series, Mark Evans was shown taking flying lessons and this wasn't included on the DVDS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, will steer clear of them then, would have been well hacked off to find that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember now if it was the plane or helicopter. But one of them wasn't actually in airworthy condition when they came to do the final part, so another, (finished) aircraft was used. Whichever it was, was eventually completed off air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
