Don't compound the problem Direct Tv doesn't get VERSUS and I never miss the race ED

Glad to know that Direct TV does not get VERSUS, been thinking of switching to it from Comcast but guess we can't now.



I love the Dakar Rally, recorded the 1st one yesterday and set up the DVR for the daily report for the next 2+ weeks. Just wish it was more than a 1/2 hour. They barely cover anything in the 1/2 hour. I would love to see a 2 hour program each day on the Dakar rally, 1/2 hour each (bike, auto, Big Rig) and 1/2 hour on other stuff. Love seeing those big rigs charging through the hill climbs etc...

I gotta dump direct tv and get dish. Not in any hurry, but it would be nice to see dakar. As long as i get it before the Tour (de France).

why is Robby Gordon running a two wheel drive and does the hummer have a diesel?

 

[EGroeneveld]

Coverage has been lame, the hosts need to shut up and show more video!



Robby has been interesting to watch, lots of issues with inflation system, tires, alternator etc. . I am wondering what he will drive in the coming years with Hummer being bought by the Chinese. I wonder how long his contract is. Also its been interesting that he has had tire problems when everyone says Toyo's are Gods gift to mankind. But to be fair the other racers were having tire issues to from rocks. If I was just watching the show with little knowledge I would be thinking, ''Hummers suck and Toyo's are worthless''. Not the greatest advertising there for Hummer and Toyo.
